The Present Moment

So on the LA side, things have been looking great.  I'm getting lots of great, positive feedback from people in the industry and I'm eager to get there.  However, I still have this giant weight bearing down on my shoulders: my condo.  My place is has been on the market for almost two weeks.  I can't say that I expected to be showered with bids, but there are no promising leads yet.

A friend and old colleague is listing it and I'm just not getting a lot of positive feedback from her.  On top of the fact that she told me she doesn't have the time to devote to it so I should get another agent, everyone she's talked to suggests that I should list it for way less than I bought it for.

I know the housing market took a hit and it does suck to think of leaving Chicago with debt and no job, but I have been reminded to stay focus on my original purpose.  I will be lowering the price and getting a new agent today.  I can't say that I'm not scared, but I'm doing this for a reason. 

I'm not doing this for me.  My purpose is to have a positive effect on the world, using the television as a medium.  It's not about achieving my goal, making my money or accomplishing something in particular.  I'm not in LA yet, but I know I will be, and I know when I get there, I will be fine.

Though I am ready to move on, right now, this present moment is all that I have.  I love Chicago, my job is amazing, and right now, in this present moment, I am doing good and positive things.  I am being the change I want to see in the world, right now.  Regardless of where I am living, where I am working and how much my condo sells for, I am and will continue to be that change.  Like Michael Jackson said, I'm starting with the (wo)man in the mirror...
