Day 7 Email
Subject line – Steven Tyler is a realS.O.B.!
Dear Reader,
Unless you’ve been living under a rock on Mars, you
probably know that Steven Tyler is the crazy lead singer
for Aerosmith, one of the most popular rock bands on this
planet.
He’s been doing his thing on American Idol, so he's gotten
a lot of play recently in the media. And as a fan, I just
couldn't resist jumping in on the love fest and giving him
a big 'ole fat shout out - because he truly is a TOTAL
S.O.B.
A Sincere. Outrageous. Being. (or bad ass depending on my
mood!)
Steven is my hero right now - what you see is what you get!
He's also my kind of guy because he's consistent
(consistently crazy, but consistent) and he's certainly
making an impact all around the world with his wacky
Steven-isms such as…
“You know what Randy, I could agree with you, but then we’d
both be wrong”
To…
“Slap that baby on the ass and call me Christmas!" (huh?)
Yep – every week you can get a double shot of his
"outrageous" behavior right smack dab during prime time TV.
As a mother of 5 who doesn't get out much - I. Am. Loving.
It!

Of course most of Steven is left to the imagination because
many of his zingers are blatantly bleeped by the censors,
and some are actually even bleeped by him. (Did you know
at one point they gave him his own sign to cover his mouth
when cussing? Man, I want one of those – don't you?)
If I'm being totally honest, at times, some of Steven even
gets bleeped by my OWN mind as his crazy-town-talk flies
right over (or under) my head. (Heck – I've decided I don’t
think HE even knows what point he is trying to make some of
the time –ha!)
But you know what??
I don’t care - I don't!
If Steven occasionally confuses me – that's ok with me.
Is it because he’s a rock star? NO. (Ok, fine - maybe)
Is it because he’s Liv Tyler’s dad? NO. (I promise)
Could it be because he’s outrageously authentic!
YES – ABSOLUTELY – HE IS OUTRAGEOUS AND IT MAKES ME SMILE.
You can say what you want about him, but he’s the real
deal.
And like him or love him, he’s comfortable in his own skin!
Are you?
Probably not as much as you’d like to be, right?
Me either.
In fact, for a really long time I sometimes felt like a
poorly dressed drag queen standing in the middle of crowd
at a Hulk Hogan wrestling match (in case you're wondering –
that's not a good thing).
Until I finally learned how to start thinking outrageously.
Now if you're all freaked out because you don't "get it"
yet, don't worry. It's early.

Trust me, when the light bulb goes on? Well all I can say
is be prepared to go all "supernova" on your life, ok?
But until you get there, maybe you should take the lead
from a certified rock star, Mr. S.O.B Steven Tyler himself.
Steven, after an extraordinarily compelling performance,made a quick off the cuff remark on Wednesday night that
knocked my spiritual socks off.
I couldn't believe it myself when it happened, but Steven
truly gave me an amazing "ah-ha" moment (accidentally I
suspect), even triggering a tear in the process when he
said...
"When you find the right song, the voice appears."
He stopped my mind in its tracks - which doesn't happen
often I assure you...
Immediately, I felt gratitude come crashing through me and
simultaneously got double whammied with a tantalizing tidal
wave of complete joy!
And just like that – voila – the words of wisdom I'd been
waiting to hear from ANYONE or ANYTHING, for two solid
days, came to me from a half crazed rock star at 8:22 pm on
a Wednesday night, as I sat on my couch in my PJ's munching
on garlic roasted seaweed (yeah – more on "the cleanse"
later).
But seriously, try sitting with that this weekend and ask
yourself a few candid questions.
What melody do you hear every day?
Are you drowning out your voice with background noise from
never-ending chatter in your mind?
Are you “pitchy” as Randy would say? Up and down, never
really quite hitting the right notes?
Think about it.
What if you could use the outrageous tips I've shared over
the last week and a half to hear a NEW outrageous song this
weekend?
3
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 4/32
Same singer. Same instrument. Just hear the notes
differently.
I promise when you find a way to rise above all the
unnecessary background chatter from your mind, you will
hear just YOU – and it will rock your world!
To help you ponder this outrageously, I’ve gathered all the
emails and posts I've sent you so far and put them in one
easy to read FREE mini ebook you can grab right now – just
click right here.
Curl up on the couch and read them. Or maybe look over them
before you go to bed. Anytime that works for you works for
me - except when you’re driving, please! But honestly, do
it. ☺
And if you get busy and can’t find the time? That's ok,
too. No sweat off my back.
Because I already believe in you.
I just want YOU to see the truth right inside of you.
It's your time.
Own it.
Be outrageous this weekend.
Your Personal S.O.B.!!

Day 8 Email
Please DON'T read if you aren’t in the mood to be inspired
Dear Reader,
Quote of the day
“Unfortunately, some people aren’t who they think they are.
Fortunately most of us are much more than we think we are;
either way, the truth comes when we think with our hearts
instead of our heads.” Lori R Taylor
The Story
My daddy sent me an email last night that made me cry (not
on purpose). I'm confident it was one of those emails
that's been "going around", but it still moved me.
Maybe it was because my dad sent it to me, or maybe it’s
because when I hear stories of everyday people doing
extraordinary things, under extreme duress, I can’t stop
the hillbilly in me (who has overcome so much herself) from
standing up and cheering!
I clap and cheer, complete with occasionally “blubbering”,
as I joyfully celebrate the beauty of the human spirit.
(You should’ve seen me at the movie Secretariat!)
But here’s the deal...
While I’m a tad biased, my dad truly is a great man I adore
and even though he calls me the spiritual black sheep in
the family, he secretly likes it (or at least I tell myself
he does – I’m outrageous like that). ☺
But the bottom line is, my dad rarely does the chain email
gig, so when I get the rare “pay it forward” email – I paid
attention (and am very grateful he thought of me)!
His email last night was too outrageously perfect NOT to
send to you, so I hope you don’t mind the “pass along”!

Even if you’ve already read it, I’m betting you missed the
ONE thing I want you to get (don’t feel bad – most people
probably took it literally).
What happened to Japan has been horrifying to watch.
But it can also be beautiful in it’s own tragic way if you
change your filter and stand with me in awe of the way the
human spirit in Japan is facing one of its darkest hours
and coping with this unexpected environmental disaster.
If you’ve been paying attention, do you ever find yourself
wondering, “What would I do?”
You already know – because you do it every day through
every stressful moment you experience; no matter the
magnitude of the circumstances, every day you face
something challenging (even if it’s long lines at the
checkout counter – no matter what – life is relative).
If you’ve been inspired to do something for Japan, but feel
helpless short of getting your already empty wallet out,
I’ve got GREAT news for you…
There is something you CAN do, for FREE, helping them and
giving you tremendous ROI for YOUR life.
Try reading this short list of “10 Things We Can Learn From
Japan” and get inspired by the way they’re overcoming this
terrifying and tragic natural disaster. Then simply try tohonor them by applying the lessons they are teaching to
your life.
But before you do, ask yourself one simple question.
When your day goes to hell in a hand basket, could you
check all 10 items off your list?
(See my comments under each one with what I’m hoping you
get out of this email today.)
1. THE CALM
Not a single visual of chest-beating or wild grief. Sorrow
itself has been elevated.
*How do you weather the storms in your life? Do you drag
everyone down to the bottom of the pool as you drown, to
make yourself feel better?
6
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 7/32
2. THE DIGNITY
Disciplined queues for water and groceries. Not a rough
word or a crude gesture.
*How do you get what you need from those you love when you
are starving for attention or feel rejected? Is what you
want to get what you give?
3. THE ABILITY
The incredible architects, for instance. Buildings swayed
but didn’t fall.
*How strong are your relationships? Are you someone your
loved ones can trust? Or are you only as good as your last
rainstorm?
4. THE GRACE
People bought only what they needed for the present, so
everybody could get something.
*Are you so focused on mistakes made in the past or worried
about what might happen tomorrow you miss out on the joy of
the day?
5. THE ORDER
No looting in shops. No honking and no overtaking on the
roads. Just understanding.
*How tight do you hold on? How far do you push your loved
ones to “prove” to you their love for you?
6. THE SACRIFICE
Fifty workers stayed back to pump seawater in the N-
reactors. How will they ever be repaid?
*Are you selfless in your relationships or are you a horse
trader only giving back exactly what you’re getting?
7. THE TENDERNESSRestaurants cut prices. An unguarded ATM is left alone. The
strong cared for the weak.
*Given the opportunity to get the upper hand, do you take
it? Do you value the relationship over being right?
8. THE TRAINING
7
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 8/32
The old and the children, everyone knew exactly what to do.
And they did just that.
*Do you know what to do when things aren’t going your way?
Are you emotionally fit to handle the hard times and grow
despite the challenges? What example do you set for those
around you?
9. THE MEDIA
They showed magnificent restraint in the bulletins. No
silly reporters. Only calm reportage.
*Does the world know your business? Is a fall from grace
with you a public affair? Why?
10. THE CONSCIENCE
When the power went off in a store, people put things back
on the shelves and left quietly.
*When someone you love is vulnerable, do you press your
advantage to “win” so you can have what you want?
The Japanese people have humbled me with their awe-
inspiring acts of everyday kindness, summing up better than
I ever could, EXACTLY where I hope you'll be in your life
at the end of our short journey together.
My gift to you today is to remind you, there doesn’t haveto be a tragedy or some big event for you to be the person
you know you are right now.
It’s not about being perfect, it’s about being you, loving
you and opening up to give love and support through small
actions throughout the day; especially the hard ones.

Day 9 Email
It’s NOT your fault, so don’t feel bad
Dear Reader,
Grey’s Anatomy is one of my all-time favorite TV shows.
For some reason, no matter when I watch it, each episode
somehow has a message for me.
Yesterday was no different.
As I was catching up on my TV, I caught the episode where
Callie, a pregnant doctor, gets in a serious car accidentputting her life and her baby’s life in danger.
If you had watched the show, you’d have seen the characters
freaking out differently. Some were angry and full of
blame, others terrified it wouldn’t work out, and some just
moved through it – business as usual.
You might think so what, it’s just TV. Yet ask yourself
how is it really any different than how we do it in real
life?
(Ok fine – we don’t have fancy writers making every word
sound perfect, or great lighting, or even a sexy co-star
like McDreamy. But just like on TV you’ll “see” the facts
differently than I do – because we process them based on
our unique filters!)
From Derek being unable to tell his best friend Mark he
couldn’t save her, to Callie’s lover wondering if the
accident was an omen they shouldn’t get married. You even
see super doctor wannabe, Cristina take the opportunity to
be the hero at anyone else’s expense, fighting her mentor
who wants to take the “safe route”.
Yet what was most curious was Meredith’s reaction to the
accident.
She sobbed from guilt, remembering how jealous she was of
Callie’s pregnancy because Meredith is still struggling to
have a baby. She couldn’t understand how God would give
9
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 10/32
Callie a baby, then boom – take it from her so quickly.
Yet, Meredith’s grief wasn’t about Callie’s accident as
much as it was about her struggle she had been in with her
own doubts and insecurities about the fairness of the
world. (How many times do you make someone else’s
situation, even how they are handling it, about you?)
Feeling hopeless and scared she sobs to her fiancé Derek,
“The universe is so hard – it’s random!”
If you don’t watch the show, you might be scratching your
head wondering what the heck I’m talking about. All I want
you to get from the “story” is this…
When you let external events take you to a place of context
where the axis is you, pay attention. Is this meaning
serving you? Do you feel stress or joy?
If it’s stress then it’s your mind taking control. Sit
longer.
Even if the truth “hurts” at first, can you feel any joy
inside?
If your “ah-ha” moment sounds like this, “Everyone is
ganging up on me. They think I’m a terrible mom. Awful. But
I’m a great mom.”
Go to the place inside that doesn’t really believe you’re agreat mom, and tell it the truth. (Remember, they might be
saying it, but some part of you has been thinking it and
believes them.)
Move towards KNOWING you’re a great mom and move on – don’t
waste time trying to convince others or be upset with THEM
for saying what you were already THINKING, capiche?
Find gratitude for the actor in your play who is your
“aggressor” for bringing this unfinished internal business
to your attention; they are your bad cop! Then watch joycome, even for a second, despite the painful experience,
because you GOT it and shifted.
Just remember, if the way you “see” it doesn’t empower you
or even teach you, find a new meaning because you’re
holding onto the wrong one. (I’ll explain how this happens
later)
10
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 11/32
Open your heart to get out of your head so you can see what
is being revealed – like a movie scene playing out a bigger
plot.
Do you see how the only thing that really changes is your
perception?
Trying to change something that has already happened is
impossible - everything is relative and sometimes worse
things happen (even the movies have that element!).
I believe everything happens for a reason.
But I also know you can’t know the reason part FOR SURE.
It’s the wild card part of the equation. So use your joy
detector (hint it’s not your mind!) to get closer to the
truth – it’s there – and it will feel good.
Just find growth. And grow Your Self. I KNOW you can do
it.
Isn’t It Starting To Get Really Outrageous In Here,
Lori R Taylor
PS. The game changer is how you translate the experience
via your perception to give it meaning. By getting real
with yourself and asking what part of you needed that to
happen, you’ll find joy.
PPS. On the webinar I have planned for you I’ll show you
how to nip these situations in the bud BEFORE they happen.
Keep your ears and eyes open for date and time – no charge.

If you’ve never failed you’ve neverlived
Dear Lori,
QUOTE OF THE DAY "Winners lose more than losers. They win and lose more than
losers, because they stay in the game." Terry Paulson STORYMy son is an awesome baseball player. Yet it's his most
frustrating sport. Maybe because in baseball it's more obvious to the crowd
when you make a mistake, than in football. I'm not sure.
But it messes with him (it always has).
Last night he missed two fly balls. Just doesn't happen to
him. He was dejected. Mortified. I didn't know what to say.
He certainly didn't want to hear my advice, that's for
sure.
When we finally talked I told him, "You are a straight A
student. You go to one of the toughest schools in the state
and even nation. You got a 99.9% score on your high school
placement test. You are tired. Overwhelmed. And stressed.
You did your best." His answer surprised me.
He was adamant he did NOT do his best. Yet even when I
asked, "So you were distracted? Tired? Not playing fullout?"
He answered, "Of course not, Mom! But if I had done my best
I wouldn't have dropped those balls."
And he MEANT it.
That's when it hit me - do you really believe your best is
determined either by outcomes or external accolades? WTF?
Are you kidding me? That's insane!!!
12
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 13/32
I then carefully, but adamantly told him words I hope YOU
hear too. "You're NOT taking in the wild card piece of it - the
universe and your soul. Now you might only be 14, so your life lessons might come in the form of a baseball game so
maybe what I'm getting ready to explain will sound crazy
because baseball doesn't seem like it's that important. But
at 14, could it be possible sports are how YOU are teaching
YOU to prepare for harder things to come? If everything is
super easy for you now, what will happen to you when you're
married and your wife has a miscarriage? Or you get fired?
Or God forbid something else awful happens? Do you want to
wait to test your emotional fitness when the people you
love need you most? How will you handle that level of life
disappointment if you've never even faced things as simple
as giving it everything you have on the field and still
dropping balls? It's time to hunker down, get real and if
it's important to you then you need to try that much
harder. But you have to believe you'll get through this.
Have faith in YOU. Accept your anger, embrace it; but don't
let it mean anything more than you are angry and learning
how to move through anger to get to the other side of YOU."
I don't believe you should sweat anything - much less the
little things, but that doesn't mean they aren't uber-
important to your growth. You just don't need to make them
into mountains!
(All you need to do is pay attention to them so you canmove through them more effortlessly.)
Learning to accept your best isn't good enough at times,
for whatever reason, will build your emotional fitness.
Knowing you might not win the prize every time, but knowing
you got SOMETHING out of the experience is where joy comes
in and will bring you outrageous fulfillment.
If you KNEW the experience wasn't about winning or losing,
but about just feeling and growing, how could you ever
resist or avoid any emotion again? You should be shoutingto the world, "Bring it on - I GOT this!"
Open your heart to get out of your head so you can see what
is being revealed - like a movie scene playing out a bigger
plot.
What you experience is exactly what you're supposed to -
it's the meaning you put on it, like, "I have to try harder
13
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 14/32
next time" is where you miss the boat.
It's not always about trying harder. It's about feeling
whatever you're feeling in that moment.
While it's fine to build your skills on failures, it's also
important to enhance your soul through accepting your
emotions as you have them. Avoid letting the ego take over
to make them any more than they were supposed to be.
Experiences breed growth. We crave them at a soul level.
But I also know you can't know the reason part FOR SURE.
It's the wild card part of the equation. So use your joy
detector (hint it's not your mind!) to get closer to the
truth - it's there - and it will feel outrageous.
When you are on the field of life and you get knocked down
pay attention to your next move because for the most part
you have three basic choices.
1. Grab your bat and glove and go home.
2. Lay on the field in the fetal position.
3. Pick yourself up and get back up to bat.
No matter what you choose, the only outcome I can GUARANTEE
is that you'll never hit that home run if you choose to go
home or freeze. I can also promise you that life will hunt
you down like a dog and find new and better ways to "teach"
you what you are avoiding.
But facing the situation, picking yourself up off the
ground and getting back up to bat is your only real chanceto swing for the fences and knock that ball out of the park!
Watch this inspiring video and tell me, where would we be
today if these people had chosen to quit?

Day 10 Tip
If You’ve Never Failed, You’ve NeverLived
While it’s fine to build your skills on failures, it’s also
important to enhance your soul through accepting your
emotions as you have them. Avoid letting the ego take over
to make them any more than they were supposed to be.
Experiences breed growth and we crave them bring us joy at
a soul level.
When you are on the field of life and you get knocked down
pay attention to your next move because for the most part
you have three basic choices.
1. Grab your bat and glove and go home.
2. Lay on the field in the fetal position.
3. Get back up to bat.
No matter what you choose, the only outcome I can GUARANTEE
from going home or doing nothing is you will never hit that
ball out of the park. And life will hunt you down like a
dog and find new and better ways to “teach” you what you
are avoiding, so best to accept and stop resisting so youcan move through it easily.
If you face and embrace the situation, pick yourself up off
the ground and get back up to bat you guaranteed one thing:
Another chance to swing for the fences to get what you
really want. And like my mamma always told me, “If at first
you don’t succeed, try, try again.” (pretty sure she
borrowed that – ha!)
Watch this inspiring video and tell me, where would we be
today if these people had chosen to quit?

Friday’s Quote Of Inspiration
QUOTE
“Regrets are the lies the mind tells us.” Lori R Taylor
THE POINT
If you find yourself full of regrets and feeling guilty
over past mistakes this means you’re focused on the past.
You most likely have even rewritten it to some degree,
losing any magic of that moment and seeing only your dark
spots.
Which doesn’t matter anyway because you can’t change it!
It’s already happened…
So do me a favor.
Stand up, look over your shoulder and run across the room
to open the door.
How did that feel?
Not easy I bet.
If you were in an unfamiliar room finding the door would be
difficult, at best, right? Even if you knew where it was
guaranteed you looked at the path to make sure you would
“make it”. Either way when you focus on the past this is
how you live your life.
How can you possibly see the new doors opening, much less
get there effortlessly when you are looking behind you at
the same time?
In general, the reason you look forward when you walk is
because it’s natural to look where you are going, right?
Yet, emotionally you spend so much time worrying about
mistakes you have made in the past, or re-living the pain an
event caused you, it becomes relatively impossible for you
to find time to ever move forward effortlessly.
16
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 17/32
Telling your “story” over and over again means you are
making your past present, keeping you from moving on to new
experiences giving your soul the growth it craves.
Have you ever seen the movie Groundhog Day? If not try and
watch it this weekend. It’s a funny movie, but it also
will give you a high definition view of how you’ve been
living your life (if you are like most people ).
Trying to change things that have already happened, wasting
precious minutes and energy on a mistake already made
completely sucks the potential out of your life.
Even when you go to a personal development seminar, read a
book or see a therapist, I guarantee you spend more time on
the past trying to figure out “why” than you do with a plan
(I use this term loosely) to move forward.
If you were in a boat filling up with water and you were
about to sink would you worry about “why” the hole was
there? Or would you acknowledge the hole to stop the
water? Then when you were rescued, would you spend time
trying to keep the hole plugged once you were already on
safe ground?
No.
You might have it repaired if you were brave enough to take
it out again, but you wouldn’t then go fishing and keep a
towel on a fixed hole would you?
Try doing something outrageous…
Just. Put. It. Down.
Forgive you.
Forgive “them”.
And make the decision to put it down to move on.
The truth is you probably couldn’t tell me what you ate 3
weeks ago at 10 on Tuesday, so why do you believe your
clarity is so awesome on this past hurt?
Don’t look over your shoulder or around the corner (we’ll
talk about that one soon). Have faith, pay attention, and
own the moment you are in; trust me, once I started doing
17
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 18/32
this everything changed.
Don’t miss a minute of you wasting it on an illusion of an
event already happened.
You are magical.

Subject Line: THIS is your biggeststrength – guaranteed!
Dear Reader,
QUOTE OF THE DAY
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost
almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the
game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and
over again in my life. And that is why I succeed" - Michael
Jordan.
THE STORY
In my opinion, Michael Jordan is one of the best basketball
players that has ever lived. My best memory of all he has
done is when he played in the NBA finals with the flu and
was the leading scorer. The flu! Can you imagine? I can
barely roll over with the flu and he's in it to win it?
Is he better than me?
At basketball – YES.
At life? No.
We are all created equal for the opportunity to have an
amazing life of our own design (the key is the last part
which we'll cover on the webinar coming up!)
The importance of what he said is to remember even Michael
Jordan has FAILED big time and he got to do it on national
TV in front of the entire world! (Let's not even talk abouthow he publicly failed at baseball, right?)
The point is no one can truly avoid failure.
My best friend just got fired from her job for no GOOD
reason after 14 years as the barn's trainer! She was
devastated, and dreaded seeing her peers at the upcoming
19
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 20/32
show this weekend. But guess what?
Almost every other trainer came up to her and practically
said the same thing, "You aren't special…" and then they
went on to tell her their own horror stories. I must say,
some actually made hers look like a walk in the park.
It was an "ah- ha" moment for me for a couple of reasons–
and hopefully this email will be for you too…
You aren't special either.
Your story isn't special.
We all have a life tragedy or trauma we've faced over the
years. They're all relative to the rest of our experiences.
Your kids may suffer tough times at school and sports, you
may have tough times at work and in life, but you always
have to try over and over until you move through it. (And
guess what – you don't have to try so hard if you just do
the one thing I WILL tell you before our 30 days is up – I
promise it works!)
So while your story might be a candidate for an afternoon
special and someone else's might be prime for the big
screen, at the end of the day, pain, fear and
disappointment is always relative.
Do you know what I mean by that???
No matter the popular vote as to the severity of the pain
from observers, in the heat of the moment – it feels the
same to YOU.
AWFUL.
SCARY.
At times unbearably TERRIFYING.
Even in the case of my friend. So what if the other
trainer had to move 50 horses in the middle of the night
and had NO WHERE to go, as my friend who had something
already lined up. It didn't diminish the fear she was
feeling at the change she was facing just because theirs
was WORSE. But the fact they made it through – mattered

and helped.
That's all we really need. A little empathy and even some
sympathy every now and then. FOR OURSELVES. Not from
other people – you may never get that! Can you imagine
being able to truly comfort yourself any time you wanted
to? Wouldn't that be outrageous?
The important thing is not giving up, and realizing that
eventually, you will succeed. Every time that you fail, you
learn how to succeed. It's through our mistakes you will
realize how to complete a goal. And it's through gratitude
for all the things you have already overcome you'll find
the space inside to face and embrace your fear NOW.
What is something you are afraid of right now? What's
holding you back? What are you afraid of "losing" if you
take a risk?
Write it down. Save it for our webinar and I'll show you
how to move right through it to the other side of you –
stay tuned for the details.

Subject: Fear was my inspiration lastnight
Dear Reader,
QUOTE
The thing you fear most has no power. Your fear of it is
what has the power. Facing the truth really will set you
free.
Oprah Winfrey
Fear is the most powerful motivator you have, it’s also
your biggest block to moving forward.
How you manage fear, determines the quality of your life.
I suffered a tragic accident in 2006 while going through a
divorce. I fell off my beloved horse and spiritual partner,
Pay Day. I broke my back.
It was the best thing that could have ever happened to me.(More on that in a minute).
My friends would tell you I was the bravest most courageous
person they know. I’m admired for my strength in a crisis.
I’m the “go-to” friend; the lifeline at the top of ALL
lists, no doubt about that!
(If only I spent the greater part of my life practicing
what I preach I’d have suffered a lot less.)
I haven’t fallen off him since…
…until last night.
The thing I fear the most happened. And watching my little
shit show was the most fun I’ve had in weeks (not exactly
at the time, though but you’ll see what I mean by the end).

You see he’s the perfect horse 96-98% of the time. He’s not
rideable 1% of the time. It is what it is.
What’s interesting to me is that I spend 99% of my riding
preventing the 1% from happening. Sound familiar?
It should because this is what almost all of us do…in
business, in relationships, in life.
You fail at something and then work your ass off to prevent
THAT from ever happening again. First time shame on you,
second time shame on me, right? (Thanks for that mom.)
Let me ask you something, what kind of a belief is that?
It’s a “limiting one”. (Which I’ll cover on the free
webinar coming up towards the end of the month.)
Basically this limiting belief makes it ok for you to focus
on the past to avoid future pain. (Good luck with that, by
the way – what a waste of ENERGY.)
So last night, it happened.
He was fired up, freaked out by the new barn and losing his
mind all over the place. But instead of just getting off, I
decided to “ride through it.”
Really?
Guess where that landed me…
Face down in a pile of dirt. Hurt. Angry beyond belief. At
everyone and everything. (I even KNEW how crazy it was –
and could care less. I was PISSED OFF!)
After being SLAMMED to the ground by a 1300 lb animal, it
was all I could do to not punch him in the gut. I slowly
dragged my 41-year-old body up as I fought back the urge to
beat him – to hit him anywhere to hurt him like I washurting… (As a side note, I’ve never even flicked him with
my pinky finger in anger before.)
This is how quickly anger comes when the thing you fear
happens because NO ONE likes to be scared.
You might be ok with sadness or depression – even a pity
23
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 24/32
party here and there – but admitting you’re scared? You
simply don’t know how to sit with fear because it SUCKS.
You might tell yourself you’re “depressed”, “sad”, or
“unmotivated” but the truth is you’re avoiding moving
forward because a deep seeded fear is whispering you aren’t
good enough, you’ll never be loved, or you don’t deserve
the thing you want.
The good news is I didn’t physically lash out. But I wanted
to. (Oh how I wanted to – you with me??)
Instead I stomped (ok limped) right out of the barn in a
fit of rage. Fighting back tears of frustration & hurt,
hating my trainer for not riding him, the old barn owner
who fired my trainer the week before, and him for being an
ass – a baby at best.
And then I cried. I sobbed. I couldn’t believe it – I did
my BEST – and still boom – out of nowhere it happened. What
a set back – now the fear was back(as if it had ever left!)
Such. Is. Life!
The thing you fear the most, no matter how quietly is GOING
TO HAPPEN somehow, some way.
But it doesn’t HAVE to. You can use fear to take you to the
next level in life. Fear can actually be something tocelebrate – and when you do?
It’s freaking outrageous.
I’m going to give you the 4 things you MUST do to use the
power of fear to give yourself the ONE gift that will
change EVERYTHING – and YOU don’t have to change a thing
about YOU – it’s all yours FREE right here at PickTheBrain.
If you are afraid it will be a waste of your time to checkit out, this is a perfect time to face that fear – go here.
It’s short. It’s sweet. And it’s SO outrageous.

Day 13 Tip
Four Steps To Tap Into The Power OfFear
Fear is something you probably avoid at all costs.
If you’re nervous in elevators, you might take the stairs.
If you’re afraid of heights, you probably wouldn’t go on a
skiing vacation.
And if you’re scared of the ocean, the beach is most likely
not on your list of hot spots is it?
What does it really cost you to try to live without fear?
If you’re afraid of being hurt or taken advantage of in a
relationship, if you’re terrified to leave your dead-end
job or if you simply try to keep yourself busy to avoid
worry about money and other day to day things…
It’s official. Fear is taking over your life and you’re
letting it happen.
Even if you’ve “figured” out how to push it away , you’re
still giving a tremendous amount of energy to fear by
trying to avoid it.
If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em is, a fun way to say – just
accept what you can’t change, which is an outrageous way to
think about fear.
You can’t get angry to avoid fear, you can’t ignore it for
long, and you can’t let it swallow you whole…
Or can you?
What if you could find a way to look at your fear, high
five it, and surrender to its power and ride that bitch
straight to freedom of your soul, just like a championsurfer greets and rides gigantic 10-20 foot wave ?
What if you could see waves of fear as a sign that you’re
present?
What if every time you got scared, you felt joy at the fact
you’re present – right here and now in the middle of it?
What if fear was your invitation to raise your hand saying
you’re ready, able and willing to take the hint and move
26
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 27/32
forward once and for all?
How outrageous would that feel?
Fear is your FRIEND.
It’s your greatest tool – a super charged magnifying glass
to your biggest blocks of what’s holding you back, with the
power to start turning your perceived barriers into
stepping stones.
If you could LOOK for the fear hidden beneath almost every
single “negative” emotion you have such as anger,
sadness, depression or frustration, do you truly
understand how outrageous you would feel??
When you get mad at someone for rejecting your idea, isn’t
there some fear based belief tucked away quietly reminding
you that no one will ever understand or appreciate you?
If fear became your door to the next level of you, would
you ever run from it again?
Once you see fear is just the child in you grasping at some
unknown limiting belief you’ll be able to use the power of
fear for good- YOUR good. And here is my 4 step process
for tapping it the power of fear any time you want to:
1. Face it.
Just say hello and sit with it instead of pushing it away
or resisting it. If you kept hearing a strange noise in
the middle of the night, it’s not until you turn on the
light to see what it is, that you can relax right? It’s
the same with fear. Facing fear just simply means flipping
on your internal light switch by acknowledging it.
2. Embrace It.
Feel the fear and let is course through you. Mentally say,
“I’m feeling fearful about being good enough at my job for
my boss. If I’m not good enough he’ll fire me. If he fires
me I can’t pay my rent and it also will mean I’m a bad
person and might never find another job.” Just embrace how
that feels knowing it is only an illusion conjured up topoint you in a a better direction.
3. Accept It.
Once you’ve said hello to your fear, welcome it tand accept
how angry, sad or depressed it makes you feel. Accept the
limitations of your processing unit and stop resisting the
reality you’ve got a fear inside of you limiting the power
27
8/7/2019 ptbrev
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/ptbrev 28/32
of your belief system. Acceptance is your key to dropping
your resistance and therefore reducing the amount of
suffering you are experiencing.
4. Rejoice.
Now it’s time to use fear as the catalyst to get deep
inside and fix what is broken because fear is the squeaky
wheel that says, “Hey something isn’t working over here.”
Each pain point in your life is the symptom of a greater
root cause. By facing, embracing and accepting your fears
you can leverage fear to blow through the illusions and
roadblocks keeping you from tapping into your true
potential. Watch pure joy and gratitude come when you
learn to celebrate the insight you just had and comfort
yourself with words of encouragement every time you face,
embrace and accept your fears – they rejoice at how free
you feel!
This is the greatest gift you can give yourself!
Allowing fear to fester lowers your frequency and ability
to focus on attracting opportunities to move your forward.
Even if your heart just got broken and your fear is driving
you to believe you’ll never be loved – it’s an amazing
vehicle for your immediate transformation.
Fear can get you back on track to loving you, raising your
vibration to send out signals to other people who are also
in a state of self-love to start coming your way. The same
goes for abundance and other desires you might have.
Being aware of your fear and accepting the limitations ofyour processing unit (your personality and image) will
guide you to the path of least resistance to outrageously
growing yourself once and for all.

D. “Happiness is when what you think, what you say,
and what you do are in harmony.” Mahatma Gandhi
Was the answer the same for all 3 questions?
If it varied, then you probably find it very difficult to
maintain a state of happiness.
If your answer was the same from all three “perspectives”
that’s good – you’re consistent. (But it’s only
outrageously GREAT if you picked the “right” one…)
You can get the “right” answer by watching this short video
where I reveal the KEY to happiness. Even if you picked
the “wrong” answer, don’t despair. Just listen and consider
shifting your perspective if you want to maintain an
outrageous state of happiness.
(You’ll see where we are going with this tomorrow, I
promise. Just play along. It’s worth it. Trust me).
Outrageously Happy Whenever I Want,
Lori R Taylor
PS. If trusting me is the most outrageous thing you do all
day, I can live with that! But hopefully you can take the
time to watch my video I created just for you - what do you
have to lose? (And besides…I’m pretty sure you’ve done
worse for less at some point in your life, right?)
