In our last r&d call, I spent the majority of the class running through the Living Into Greatness 4 step process for moving from scarcity to abundance.  Here's a summary of what was discussed:

Step One:  Awareness  See It

Awareness is all about remembering who you are.  Throughout our lives, we are conditioned by external sources (society, parents, culture, norms) to hold certain beliefs, perceptions, and views of the world and ourselves in the world.  This conditioning is like the magic shell on an ice cream cone or a suit of armor.  Awareness gives us the opportunity to make a crack or a small chink in that armor so that the light of truth can break through.  Awareness is the beginning of everything.  Creating Awareness in the LIG process is combination of isolating and examining the fears, illusions, beliefs and assumptions of a situation.

Step Two:  Acceptance  Own It

If Awareness is about remembering who you are, Acceptance is about owning it.  Once we have a breakthrough of insight or realization, we have to own up to its relevance in our lives right now.  We have to own up to how it is helping or hindering our efforts to be who we are.  The second part of Acceptance is making a commitment.  Once we recognize something to be true for us, we must commit to making a change.  In the LIG process, we commit to moving from the illusion (the source of scarcity thinking) to the Abundance Aptitude (the source of abundance thinking).  Making a commitment grounds us and our actions to who we are.

Step Three:  Consistent Action  Live It

This step is about living who you are.  The theme of this book is living into your greatness.  It is all about action.  It is not enough to know something.  We must integrate what we know into our lives.  Consistent Action is about applying conscious choices to everyday life.  It is not acting just once, it is acting consistently - over and over again until we move from conditioned patterns (evidence of scarcity) to conscious patterns (evidence of abundance).  In this way we live into who we are and live into our greatness.

Step Four:  Authenticity  Be It

Authenticity is showing up as your true self even when it is difficult, scary, uncertain or unpopular.  It is being in alignment with your greatness, your vision and your values. Authenticity is about being yourself in a world that is trying so hard every day to make you conform.  I place Authenticy after the other steps for the simple reason that if it came before, you would be authentic to your conditioned patterns and illusions, and not to who you truly are.  The LIG process is about identifying and working through all those layers of conditioning, excavating your DNA of Greatness.
