Why Change Our Perception?

Leave a comment

Inside yourself or outside, you never have to change what you see, only the way you see it. – Thaddeus Golas

change others!

We are driven. Driven to mold others in our own image. We know all the answers, we can help others be better and we know how to help others end their suffering. Heck we even know how the world can be a better place, we just know it all Smile!!

change self

Love the quote above! If we changed the way we view self and the world, we’d be a lot happier. The way to see an object is to see it as it is, not color it with our past experiences of it. The way to see people is to see them as they truly are and to recognize the magnificence that they often hide. The way to see our selves is to see with a soft, loving and forgiving gaze, knowing that we shall triumph and that all will be well!

Daily Affirmation: Today I truly see.

A Deeper Meaning?

Leave a comment

Seek not to change the world, but choose to change your mind about the world. What you see reflects your thinking. And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see. – A Course In Miracles

change perception

Gandhi said ‘we must be the change we want to see in the world’, such change begins in how we perceive the world, others and ourselves. When we explore our perceptions, beliefs, assumptions, thought-patterns and expectations we approach greater self-knowledge. That exercise can feed the change we want to see.

meaning

When we perceive external situations they’re colored by the special tint on our experience and DNA infused glasses. We see accordingly, we expect and believe accordingly. As we choose to see what we see, our thinking further underscores that choice. In other words our thinking, our perception and choices reinforce each other. We live in a world of our own creation. Is there meaning in the world and our relationships beyond what we imprint on them?

Daily Affirmation: Today I become aware of my thinking.

How Have We Held Back?

Leave a comment

Only what you have not extended to any situation can be lacking.  – A Course In Miracles

view of life

What is our outlook in life? Do we expect things to work out? Do we expect resources to become available? Or do we expect trouble and expect things to sour, even if we do so sub-consciously? It’s what we expect and how we look at life events that determines our experience of such events. It’s how we view our own self that further colors our experiences.

look again

Whenever we find something missing in our life, a relationship or an event, we must look again. We must notice how we’ve held back in participating fully in that relationship or situation. We must notice how we show up. If we seek someone’s love, have we loved fully? Do we love ourselves? If we expect better friendships, how friendly have we been? How friendly are we to us? If we seek abundance, do all our thoughts and actions reflect abundance? Are we generous with our own selves?

‘Getting Naked’ and the Law of Attraction II

Leave a comment

Set a goal so big that if you achieved it, it would blow
your mind. – The Secret

disappointed

I was disappointed at first because I was hoping I’d get a copy of his new book, Getting Naked. However I quickly recovered and was very thankful for getting this book, I knew I needed it! The session concluded and I was fortunate to also have been invited to a smaller group to discuss topics with Patrick Lencioni later in the day! I’ll be sharing more about the book Getting Naked itself in another blog….

perfection

The group turned out to be just about 6-8 folks! Imagine that, getting time to spend with a famous author and executive coach in such a private setting! I met Pat and chatted for a little bit and got my book autographed by him! At the conclusion of this event two things happened that reminded me of the law of attraction and were triggers for me to write these 2 blogs! The organizer came by and started handing out books to everyone present. She had only one copy of Getting Naked, I got it, and it was already autographed! Not just that; I got to chat with Pat once more and asked him questions regarding my corporate coaching engagement, where his name had first come up! He gave me some excellent tips which pretty much designed for me the approach I was going to take with my corporate client. In my mind the Universe/God had given me everything I had needed. I hadn’t sweat about any of this. I had essentially held in my mind what I thought I needed and had kept doing what was necessary while being grateful for the present. I also implicitly held the belief that God takes care of it all, not me. That’s it, that’s The Secret in action. Btw this is one small example of how this universal principle works in my life and in yours!

Daily Affirmation: Today I set big meaningful goals for myself.

‘Getting Naked’ and the Law of Attraction I

1 Comment

The Hows are the domain of the universe. It always knows the quickest, fastest, most harmonious way between you and your dream. – The Secret

what

Several weeks ago I was with a corporate client (I do life and executive coaching) and we ended up talking about Patrick Lencioni’s ‘The Five Dysfunctions of a Team’. I knew of the book and some of the concepts inside it but hadn’t read the book. I made a mental note to myself that I needed to read the book and research the material. Each week after that I reminded myself that I still needed to do that! Basically I was focusing on the ‘what’ I needed and not the ‘how’. I hadn’t quite figured out a strategy yet as to how I would get the book. Some books I borrow from our library, others I just buy for my Kindle.

event

A couple months ago I had signed up for a speaker event at work, it was actually Patrick Lencioni coming to talk about his new book Getting Naked! I showed up and because Patrick wanted the session to be interactive he offered a free book to the first 3 people who asked a relevant question! The whole session was fantastic so it was easy for me to stand up and ask the first question. After that exchange Patrick literally threw a book at me, lo and behold it was a copy of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team! There’s more to this story so please stay tuned for tomorrow’s blog!

Daily Affirmation: Today I focus on the ‘what’.

A Law Of Life…

Leave a comment

… all of us must see that negative feelings toward another person is like tossing dust at him while the wind blows against us. It all comes back…it is a basic and inescapable Law of Life. – Vernon Howard

it all comes back

As discussed yesterday the frequencies that we generate boomerang right back to us. We are the authors of our feelings, our thoughts and our opinions; all of these generate energies that persist. Once we recognize this law we realize that our overall well-being, emotional and physical, is often a product of our thoughts.

designing life

How can we remember to design our thoughts? Through practice and with plenty of reminders. Reminder bands, Post-It notes, calendar reminders, jewelry and other props can work wonders!

Daily Affirmation: Today I remember to design my thoughts.

How Resentment Kills…

1 Comment

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.  – Carrie Fisher

poison

All negative energies that we generate, hurt us. That includes anger, jealousy, resentment, fear, lack of esteem, dread etc. As we generate them through our thoughts and memories, these feelings vibrate a certain frequency, and it’s the same frequencies that affect our mind and body in a negative manner. Over time repeated bombardments weaken our immune system and make us susceptible to all kinds of physical and mental maladies.

elixir

Why not drink elixir instead? Drink from the fountain of love that proceeds from our very depths. Awaken this mother lode of joy by practicing unconditional loving and kindness while meditating as well as through-out the day.  Not easy but certainly a habit worth cultivating!

Daily Affirmation: Today I drink the elixir of goodness and love.
