you from demonstrating your purpose, pouring out answers from your wealth for others through relationships you create that honor them and build grace equity in them.”

 

He told her that there is a difference between fear and caution.

 

He said, “caution is an effective tool to avoid actual danger or mistakes, but fear only creates the thought of danger and causes unbelief in your significance, safety and security.”

 

He reminded her that her significance defeats fear because it cannot be diminished by fear.

 

He put both hands on the table and sat up straight.

 

She began to fidget in her chair. She had been sitting for a long time.

 

He asked if she was ok. He saw her fidgeting. She assured him she was good. She asked him about the assessment.

 

He paused. He knew this was a lot of information. He wanted to make sure she understood, but she was ready.

 

“Kim,” he said, “after this assessment you must decide moment by moment to walk in heromotive. You must capture your thoughts by metacognitioni; thinking about what you're thinking about to avoid distractions or emotional self-effort which can lead you backwards."

Discovering the Wealth

 

Chapter 6

 

He said, “defeating fear is a process. You use heromotive lenses to nullify fear with boldness. The next step is discovering your wealth. When your wealth becomes your evidence it works for you by pouring out answers for others through relationships you create that honor them and build grace equity in them which is a resource for your answers.”

 

He explained that there are three basic fears that create obstacles and traps that can limit her wealth from becoming her evidence. He introduced the three basic fears as: fear of failure, fear of judgment and fear of rejection. He spent time discussing the three basic fears with her and how to use significance to nullify them.

 

“When you trust your evidence and heromotive then grace equity produces answers that will pay your husband’s creditors,” he promised. She wondered how this would happen but didn’t ask. She was excited about the promise.

 

She understood that the wealth the elder talked about wasn’t money.

 

She still had a lot of questions, but she didn't allow her questions to cause confusion or fear.

 

She was excited about her next steps. The elder asked a female customer at a nearby table for a sheet of paper. The patron tore a blank page from her notebook with a smile. He thanked her and searched for the assessment questions on his cell phone in his mobile documents.

 

When he found the assessment he asked her again was she ready.

 

She realized how hungry and nervous she was as she waited for him. She said she was ready and sat up taking a bite of her croissant. The smell of coffee and sweet desserts filled the air.

 

The elder was looking down adjusting something on his phone. He began speaking before he looked up. "This character assessment should affirm what you already know about yourself."

 

He gave her instructions as she sat back in her seat. He asked her not to answer the questions based on how she wants to be perceived by others but answer them from actually how she sees herself. He took out a pen and prepared a grid chart with boxes and columns on the torn notebook paper. Before he gave her the paper and pen he instructed her to give numerical answers from 0 to 3 on the grid chart he created. He wrote out the explanation for each number along the corner of the torn paper as he told her that “0” meant not at all never, “1” meant some of the time once in a while, “2” meant most of the time usually true, “3” meant consistently definitely true. She took the paper and pen and prepared to write. He read each question from his phone slowly and she wrote her answers numerically in the boxes on the grid. He would stop on occasion to explain some of the questions.

 

After he completed the 91 question assessment. He showed her how to calculate her results to prioritize the 13 character gifts based on her answers. Each gift had a different numerical total that reflected her priority for each character gift. She had two gifts identified with the same numerical total that were higher than the other 11 character gifts. He took time to explain the details about the two character gifts that stood out from the others. As she listened she felt confident in what she heard and agreed. Her smile was noticeable. It was like confirmation.

 

He explained that she should focus on using the two character gifts highlighted in the assessment. He explained that the two highlighted gifts are her wealth. He told her that these two gifts are how she demonstrated heromotive best.

 

“Apply your wealth to all tasks and objectives to pour out answers for others through relationships you create that honor them and build grace equity in them. This is heroic performance that doesn’t fail," he instructed. “Heroic performance is your wealth in action."

 

She nodded in agreement.

 

“Because you see yourself through heromotive lenses you already know your identity. You bring this identity to the objective, task or mission requiring your wealth,” he explained. “Your character is influenced by your identity as you pour out answers for others from your wealth.”

 

The information was coming at her fast. His words washed over her, clearing away many insecurities. He talked for another 25 to 30 minutes, at least that's what she thought. She wasn’t sure, but her smile was unmistakable. As he talked she felt like he was equipping her for an assignment, like she was putting on armor.

 

“Your wealth is not earned it is a gift discovered in you. The discovery of your wealth is hero reward.”

 

She thought that hero reward sounded like money.

 

He told her that as a student of hermotive she must understand her evidence to establish belief in heromotive words that are her evidence. He said as a service practitioner of heromotive she will use three water methods to labor to rest in her evidence. He also said that submitting to heromotive established trust in her evidence and heromotive in order to pour out answers from her wealth. These were necessary milestones.

 

“Do you know what submission is?” he asked.

 

“It’s when you do what you’re told,” she responded.

 

“No, but that’s what a lot of people think,” he replied. “Submission is your agreement to yield under the authority of someone or something. If you are just following instructions or direction without agreement then you are not submitting. The power is in agreement. Without agreement no one fully benefits. When people submit to each other they follow instructions or directions under the agreement they make with each other. Both parties receive full benefits from submission and no one is forced to do anything outside of the agreement,” he explained.

 

She thought marriage would be better if it worked like that.

 

The elder went on to say that in business submission creates great working relationships. Co-workers submit to each other to accomplish a goal and managers and subordinates submit to each other to accomplish a mission. No one is forced to do anything outside of the agreement.

 

“When you submit to heromotive you follow instructions or directions under agreement with heromotive,” he instructed.

 

“Submission to heromotive establishes trust in your evidence and heromotive. Trust is a position of commitment, a dedication to something or someone without compromising your identity.”

 

He also said that she must submit with passion. It means sacrifice in obedience to heromotive. He said this kind of passion develops good character.

 

He explained that passion eliminates excuses and complaints.

 

“Those who decide not to accept heromotive are like sleeping giants, that are untapped,” he continued.

 

“Hero purpose affirms your wealth. Your wealth is your best character gifts. Heroic performance is your wealth in action. When you trust your evidence and heromotive you pour out answers from your wealth for others building grace equity in people that produces answers for you. This is the wealth exchange," he instructed.

 

“Please give me a minute,” she said standing to her feet, “I will be back.” She quickly went to the restroom. She was visibly overwhelmed. She washed her face in the sink with her hands and dried it with a paper towel. She stood in the empty restroom looking in the mirror. The elder showed her that she was more than the woman she saw in her reflection.

Mission Impossible

Chapter 7

 

She sat down at the table in front of the elder again. She had lost all track of time. She was excited about her wealth.

 

“Today I will give you an opportunity to pour from your wealth,” he began. When he paused she took a deep breath. “This task requires your submission to heromotive. Are you ready?”

 

She agreed with a smile.

“Go to all your neighbors and engage them with kindness to introduce yourself. Many of them I guess you know. Let them know you would like to borrow some of their time. Discuss how you can generously pour from your wealth to provide answers for them through relationships you create that honor them and meet their needs at no charge.”

 

He paused again and asked, “Do you understand what I am asking you to do?”

 

“Yes, yes sir” she exhaled. She stumbled in her thoughts when she heard him say at no charge.

 

He continued, “Don’t ask just few people, gather a list of all your neighbors and their needs. Use your evidence to direct your steps. Remember to see yourself through heromotive lenses. It will be important to complete the task.”

 

He reminded her that she will build grace equity in her neighbors as she poured out answers for them from her wealth. He instructed her that this was heroic performance which is her wealth in action. He told her to trust her evidence and heromotive in order pour out answers from her wealth to build grace equity in people to produce the answers she needed. He explained that grace equity is at work in people.

 

She didn’t understand the idea of grace equity being at work in people, but she held on to his promise that it would produce the answers she needed. She felt confident that she would get it eventually.

 

She was told to focus on each neighbor’s needs one at a time. He warned her about the whirlwind. Again he told her she would need to see herself through heromotive lenses to acknowledge her significance, identity, power and purpose.

 

He said if she was offered money for pouring out answers from her wealth she should
