Inside Personal Growth

I have never met Cathy Paper in person, but the name of her company Live Dynamite captures the essence of who Cathy is. If you want to learn how to gets things done, then Cathy Paper is the person. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and the Live Dynamite process she has created for learners is wonderful. Cathy and her business partner Maryanne O’Brian have created a beautifully crafted guidebook called the “Upside Playbook.” This playbook is at the center of their workshop and the Live Dynamite system. She teaches time-tested principles that connect the learner with his or her personal power.

The purpose of the Upside Playbook it to help the learner identify and form new habits and behaviors to achieve greater success in balancing their life. Even though I have not been through the course I can vouch for the design, layout and intention of this playbook. It is practical, easy, fun, engaging and a process that I think could help anyone who is looking to reevaluate their values and priorities.

And no, this is not just another goal setting course. At its essence it is a process that allows you to connect with your true inner self and explore a new way of doing and being.

I found this quote in the Playbook by Henry Ford to be especially profound: “You can’t build a reputation on what you’re going to do” I agree; you have to build your reputation on taking action and building momentum. So I encourage my listeners to take the necessary steps to gain momentum and reevaluate their current routines, behavior and actions to determine if they are getting what they want out of life. Frequently, our thoughts are the only thing that get in the way of us from having a more fulfilling life.

My friend Larry Wilson says that we all make stuff up anyway, and it is the stuff that we make up that becomes our reality. If you don’t like the life that you have made up for yourself, just start making up new stuff and replace the old beliefs so that you can create a new reality. At the cornerstone of the Playbook is the opportunity to make up new stuff and create new beliefs about who and what you are.
