Stifled Sensations by Danielle LaPorte of White Hot Truth

“I worked with a TV producer once who prided herself on being disciplined. ‘I get up every morning at 5am to run,’ she told me over dinner. ‘I hate it, but it needs to be done.’ And she went on to explain that for Lent, she gave up swearing and hadn’t cussed in four years, (‘Even though it would feel sooo good to just say the F word sometimes!’) The following Lent, she swore off soda pop and hadn’t had so much as a sip for three years, (‘Even though a Coke with these tacos would be grrreat!’)

‘Well that sounds like a whole lotta of fucking fun.’ I said to her. And I asked the waiter to bring me a Coke.

Here’s the thing: As hard-wired achievement-bots many of us subscribe to systems of success that actually become blockages to our instincts. Structures, programs, regimes, all disciplines and theories should be used to support your freedom and independent thinking, but many serve to stifle our truth.
Curiosity and sensation are exponentially more effective than obeying the rules.”

I love that recent post on White Hot Truth.  The creator, Danielle, is a truth-seeking writer with a flair for humor and an entrepreneurial instinct.  I personally experienced a Fire-Starter Session with Danielle, and I highly recommend the one-on-one conversation.

*Danielle responds to every single email she receives.  Her personable touch elevates Danielle above the rest.  I’m all about the connection, and the lady’s got it.

* This is rare and refreshing in cyberspace.
