The
Greatest Challenge for All of Us
Each of
us has faced challenges that may have seemed
insurmountable.
Our
challenges may appear in the guise of life-draining, outer
circumstances such as war, the sudden death of a loved one,
the slow, grinding presence of chronic poverty, overt or
covert racism, or political repression. In these
circumstances, our biggest challenge may be to not surrender
our humanity, our creativity, and our capacity to love and
contribute over to the suffocating grip of cynicism, hate or
apathy. This was the challenge and triumph of people like
Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther
King.
From
Results to Accomplishment
"Please
don't tell me about how to produce results. I'm an expert at
it," Frank said at the beginning of our first
LifeCoaching® meeting. His voice was an equal mixture of
frustration and resignation. "I know all the steps and
tricks. I know how to specify my goals, visualize the
outcome, pick a date by when it will be done, go into
action, get feedback, make corrections, and take action
again until I've achieved the result."
Feeling
Great is Your Natural
State
"Feeling
great" is a multi-dimensional experience. Physically, it
may occur as a feeling of vitality and relaxed energy.
Emotionally and mentally, it may express itself as joy, as
love, as a sense of deeply satisfying well-being, filled
with an embracing appreciation for the present. At the
causal dimension, it can arise as a powerful experience of
authorship for one's own life. At the spiritual dimension,
it may arise as direct knowing of being one with all of life
and being an expression of Creative Spirit.
Why
Most New Year's Resolutions Don't Work!
In the
early hours of the morning on January 1, 2001,
billions of people on earth will raise a glass or two,
and with heartfelt proclamations, will make one or more New
Year's resolutions. They will resolve to lose weight,
start to exercise, stop smoking, relieve stress, stop
getting angry, be more patient, make a difference, start a
new career, finish their education, express their love to
their spouse and children, and finally act on fulfilling the
dreams they have been putting off for years.
