Grateful for Mike Dooley!

Gratitude

1.  Went to Mike Dooley’s World Tour III last Saturday — he’s from tut.com

2.  He sends out messages from the Universe that I get in my emails every weekday

3.  Once, when I was getting some new presentations ready for a conference and I thought my head would spin off my shoulders, I got this email from the Universe:  “It’s not that you worry, Carol, it’s that you care so much.”

4.  I used to classify myself as a worrywart, but that one sentence set me free!

5.  If you are worrying, you probably think you might not do a good job, that you might let people down —

6.  When you care, it’s because you’re trying to do a good job, that you want people to be happy, and that you are hopeful that things will work out.

7.  Wow!  Now if I start worrying, I remember that sentence and I turn into a much more relaxed and caring person!

8.  These quirky and fun messages from the Universe are the first emails I open every weekday.

9.  Mike Dooley has written lots of books which are very empowering and interesting to read.

10.  I went to his daylong workshop with my friend, Jean, and we sat right in the front row — it was a day I will never forget!
