Light Up Their Lives

The story of a rich man who was dying comes to mind when I think of this topic. The man called his three sons and said to them. “I wish to leave my fortune intact, so I will set each of you the same task to see which one is the most capable at managing money. In my warehouse there are three large storerooms, all of the same size. Here is a bag of silver each. Your task is to…

When It’s All About You

Every moment of my life, no matter how fleeting it is that I spend with another person is an exchange of my life with them. Even if its buying a loaf of bread from the man at the corner store I am investing an irretrievable unit of time with the person I am with in the moment. Life is a series of moments and all too often we waste our life waiting for the ‘special’ moment to happen or the…

The Time Of Your Life

There is one thing in the physical world that is constant, continuous and countable - That is time. Time ticks along, never to be repeated regardless of who you are, what you say or what you do, time just keeps on creeping forward. Things don’t seem to change much from one second to the next and yet profound change happens when we look at longer time periods. Take a year, a decade or a lifetime and you can really see…

Decision Points

On reading the previous blogs on this topic you will have noticed the ‘trapeze bar’ of things different swinging towards you with your name on it and I am sure that you made a resolve to let go of your current limiting behaviour and grasp and ride this new identity. You probably noticed that your Quadrant preferences got a little uncomfortable when you fired off your ‘not me’ behaviours and based on our last conversation I am sure that you…

Your Life Has Your Name On It

Life can feel like a series of high wire trapeze swings.  Imagine yourself either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments at a time hurtling through space in between the trapeze bars. Most of the time we are tightly hanging on to our trapeze-bar-of-the-moment. These are the behaviours that you call ‘me’. This is your identity. It carries you along at a certain steady rate of swing and you have the feeling that you’re…

Long Term Perspective

We live in a moment-by-moment world. Most people are just concerned with getting their current issues fixed. They want instant results. They are driven in most areas of their life by a short-term perspective. They want a solution right now and they won’t worry about it until next time the ‘issue’ or ‘problem’ occurs again and at that time they will seek the same ‘band aid’ solution. You may relate to this. You may notice that the mood of the…

Get Around To It

We are now 3 months into the New Year and I would mind betting that you have already noticed yourself procrastinating on some aspect of your 2018 resolve. It may be just a little thing here or there but the structure is the same – putting off to tomorrow what you could have, (or by your rules or decisions) should have done today. Now, it’s pretty hard to find a person who does not procrastinate at all from time to…

Perspective is everything

There are many things that we can’t comprehend in our life and because we can’t comprehend it doesn’t meant that it doesn’t exist. Consider what you are filtering out in your life by excluding the immeasurable and unseen.

Make this year Play with a Purpose

As I write this I am 7 hours into another 12 hour long haul flight and as usual the cabin staff have commented that I am still ‘working’! This is a funny one, because I don’t see work as ‘work’ and for me it’s always been play. If I choose to do something surely it makes sense to either only do something that I love or if there isn’t love there in the first place then bring love to it.…
