On May 1, 2013 my life’s work – Secrets of Your Cells – was released publicly.
And though the contents of this book have been taught in various iterations for decades, overnight I’ve become obsessed with its Amazon ratings.
Will people buy it, will it make me famous, will it make a difference to people’s health and well-being? So obsessed that I got out of bed at 1 am to check the hourly updated Amazon ratings.
Astounded that it has become the #1 best seller in cell biology, considering that it is not your typical biology book. Far from it. I laugh when I see it there thinking that its masquerading as science and will no doubt surprise the person looking for only mainstream science. It expands how we view cells and biology to give them a sacred and social perspective. We are so much more than our amazing biology.
Yet I’m even more shocked how obsessed I’ve become with numbers rather than surrendering to the content of the book which is what really needs to be shared.
Yes, numbers tell us how well its doing in the marketplace, but now for me at a personal level, I have to carry e highest intention and persistence to share the wisdom and wonders carried in this book. This post is certainly one of my most personal exposures.
From the perspective of my cells, I am working on surrendering, to continue without obsession. After all, obsessing is stressing.
Stepping back I look at how easy it is for us to obsess about being liked, accepted, wanted, and rewarded. And another question becomes, if no one approved or wanted what we have to offer, would we do it anyway?
Now one month later – I’m still looking at how the book is doing and its even an Amazon best-seller in new thought. What’s exciting to me about this, not so much the numbers but it means that more people are learning about what they are inside – mind cells spirit – all of us.
