If I Were a Lottery Winner!
#powerball #megamillion #lottery
Who hasn’t passed the Lotto signs on the Interstate and
imagined checking a lottery purchase to find that you, indeed, are the
Powerball winner of millions of dollars? The jackpot for the Mega Million is at
an all-time high of 400 Million this week. I’d imagine that many people are
imagining a life with no financial worry. What exactly does that look like? I
don’t guess that many of us have had the privilege of knowing that security.
Lately, I’ve been imagining winning, but with a spin... I
don’t announce that I’m the winner to anyone, not even family. But, I do call a
major television station with the idea of a new reality television show. This
show would be about a gay, spiritual man who has won and lost a lot in his
life. He had taken big chances. He has had large opinions. He loved big, but
also had many people leave his life for those opinions.
The story would be about following the people who left my
life and the people who are on the fringe of my life as if a network was doing
a documentary on my next big book. So, the interviewers would get stories from
old lovers, old friends, the parents of exes, ex-work relationships, and people
who have either stayed or left my life.
I imagine the questions go something like this: “So, we are
doing this documentary on Bo Sebastian’s next book. What do you really think of the author? Is the book Finding
Authentic You based on an authentic person? Or do you think he’s a
fraud?”
Then after all the people give their true responses, come
back with another interview, sharing that this book has garnered great interest
with a huge publisher. Bo has gotten one of the biggest advances in publishing
history and a television show. He is now a millionaire and set to become a
multi-millionaire as soon as the book hits the stores and the airs. “What do
you think of this windfall in Bo’s life? Is he deserving? Do you feel anything
different about him now?”
My interest and fantasy is more about seeing if people’s
disposition change as a result of a financial blessing such as the Mega Million
Jackpot in my life. Would real friends stay real, or would money skew
relationships? Would people who I have had leave my life, now try to become
better friends and take advantage of the money? Would people who are on the
fringe of your life, force their way in to a closer relationship?
My interests in life have always been about cause and
effect. What makes a person respond the way he or she does? I guess in life,
what it intrigues me most is what has probably caused the most hurt in life.
When some relationship takes a turn for the worse and someone disappoints you
for no apparent reason, I want to know why. Unfortunately, life doesn’t often
present a way to get to the bottom of most people’s actions. But a great
interviewer and the chance to voice an opinion on television is usually more
than enough to coerce even the worst at communication. One moment of celebrity,
they say, will cause most people to act the fool. I believe this to be true. We
all want to be noticed and to have an opinion that matters, even if our
opinions are bizarre and mocked. Take Simon Cowell’s persona on his reality
shows. Everyone wants to hate him, because his opinions are so mean and on the
money, most times. Yet, we watch him every week, even though we would rather
not hear his blathering, narcissistic opinions about anything. Or would we?

Website in the Webstore. Thanks!
Below is information that I will be sharing for about a
month, as not every person on my list reads the blog every day. If you have
already read it, just skip over it. Thanks for understanding.
A
Year to CLEAR Challenge:
(Please Know: You Can Join Us At Any Point in the Year
Challenge.)
The masses search outward for things that qualify them as a
person, but I always go inward for that which quantifies me for greatness. At
twenty-five I preached on street corners in NYC as an in-the-closet Pentecostal
minister. One day I heard a still small voice say, ‘God cannot be contained in a
book or a law or even in a religion. Dig deeper, reach further to find me, and
you will find your authentic Self.’”
A Year to CLEAR Challenge!
The acronym CLEAR
stands for (Compassionate, Loving,
Enthusiastic, And Relationship-Ready). The goal of this project is to
engulf readers in a weekly study that will transform them by removing blocks,
promote self-growth, and give them wings to fly freely into daily life. Each
week, by going to BoSebastian.com and choosing the Year to CLEAR Challenge tab,
a new challenge or thought to provoke conversation, growth, and group
functionality.
My vision is to make Finding Authentic You the book to
have in your Kindle or on your computer. The book is a comprehensive look at
growth—spiritually, mentally, and physically.
As a yoga teacher and student of the Ayurvedic tradition, I bring
to the table understanding of physical challenges, the ability to overcome
mental problems with Life & Health Coaching, as well as hypnotherapy, and
expertise in meditation and spirituality as a minister.
The combination of all three in one book with an interactive
connection to like-minded readers, for one year, is what makes this Year to
CLEAR Challenge a must-do for every spiritual seeker.
The One-Year Approach to Change
No one believes he or she can change overnight. But success in
change comes from the metaphors of nature. Seasonally, life changes all around
us in nature. Finding Authentic You offers a gradual change perspective,
looking at the triune aspects of change as in yoga: Body, Mind and Spirit.
Accessing the
ability to change and finding
yourself actually pursuing change must be a daily search, which I call
getting to the “observer mind.”
In this frontal cortex of the brain we find the anatomy of
change and the power to counter every negative trigger of the human process.
The workings of Hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) and EMDR (Eye
Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are all positive actions to help the
mind and body flow to a positive space for change.
Every aspect of FINDING AUTHENTIC YOU fulfills this
constant need for diffusing the negative past and dreaming of a fulfilling
future.
Step 1: Recognize That Change is Inevitable
Step 2: Release from Resistance
to Change
Step 3: Understanding Change and Allow Spirit to Define It
Step 4: A History Lesson—About You
Step 5: Look at Your Past with Compassion
Step 6: Making a Strong Commitment to Change
Step 7: Dream Your Fabulous Future
