Work is Play with a Purpose

How often do you hear others, or even yourself making the comment of “Thank God its Friday”? Only one day until the workweek is over – 2 days of play to come - yippee!! This seems a funny concept to me. Why would one spend 5 days out of seven doing something that is not joyful and playful? I certainly don’t see work as ‘work’ and for me it’s has to be play.  In our businesses we abide by the…

It pays to be Deaf?

A group of frogs were travelling through the bush, and four of them fell into a really deep hole. All the other frogs gathered around the top of the hole. When they saw how deep the hole was, they realised the magnitude of their plight and yelled down to the four frogs that there was no way that they could get out.

Are You Courageous?

"The simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the world." Alexander Solzhenitsyn   How often do you fail to inform another person on the truth as you see it? How often do you take the easy way out? How often do you take part in the lie?   The great people of history developed their new levels of thinking by disputing the fundamental principles of the past. Plato,…

Bring Out The Mongrel In You

With the preferred Quadrant for many people being Quadrant 3 there can be a challenge in bringing out the tough love when it counts. As caring, sharing, supportive and nurturing person these qualities are what set the Quadrant 3 preference up for success in their respective field. There are times, however when this style is counter-productive and it is appropriate to adopt a different style. Quantum physics states that for every positron there is an electron, and if there is…

Experience What’s Possible

Everything is constantly moving. Even inanimate objects aren’t really motionless. They are just vibrating so rapidly they appear to be solid. That’s why it’s important to constantly reassess. Even your home’s color scheme needs to be reassessed on a regular basis. Nothing stays constant. Every part of you and your world is constantly changing. Fearing change won’t do you any good. It only holds you back from “what’s possible.” It keeps you rigid and promotes inflexibility and ultimately death. Think…

Lightness of Being

From this discussion I suggest that there are four essential life principles that help to align your perspective and inspire profound transformation. If you are familiar with the in8model you will recognize these principles. They are: 1.Trusting the Divine in all - An elemental principle of life comes into play here. When you boil down most religions and summarise the highest levels of quantum science there is an acknowledgment of a universal intelligence, which gives to matter all its properties…

Certainly NOT

Many people speak of the importance of certainty. The certainty trap is a state of holding on tightly to the trapeze bar that we spoke of last week. This is a state there is zero learning. The paradox is that it is important to hold on to the bar of your knowledge and certainty that this brings but it is equally important to let go of the bar at the right time and enter the world of uncertainty. And so,…
