MY HOLY INSTANT

I would like to share an incredible experience that I had in my early twenties. Even though it is not something I talk about except on inspired occasions, there may be a few of those who have had the near death experience (NDE’s) who could relate to this. I also felt the need to jou al this experience while I could still remember it. Please be aware that this is an attempt to describe that which is indescribable.

Practicing Happiness

Some may think that the pursuit of happiness is a vain and selfish quest. However, when one is happy, one tends to be more loving, compassionate and giving than when unhappy. So, the attainment of happiness is a goal that can help everyone. Many people think of Buddhism as a religion, but Buddha considered himself a practical teacher, not a God to be revered. He was the Benjamin Franklin of his culture and time. It doesn't matter what religion one belongs to or believes, one can learn to be happy by practicing some of the Buddha's teachings.

Recovery isn’t a beginning or end it’s a jou ey you take over a life time

Prior to my diagnosis of bipolar disorder I had believed my highs and lows were just a regular part of who I was. I can clearly remember moments when I felt out of control, depressed or even worse suicidal. If you know anything about mental illness imagine what having undiagnosed bipolar disorder mixed with thirty years of self discovery did to my spirit? I felt completely lost, out of control, different, and socially awkward.

The Search for Inner Peace

When people were asked to rate what’s most important for them to have in their lives, inner peace scored as one of the highest ranking goals. Yet, for many, it’s difficult to achieve inner peace consistently. There are moments when we feel its presence and the all-inclusive calm it brings. Yet, in the next moment it can suddenly disappear. A loss, a fear, an unexpected event can wrench that peace from us and shift us into a different mental, emotional and energetic place. Now is the time to anchor it into our awareness, our hearts and our being.

We Don't Solve Our Problems, We Outgrow Them

I was recently reminded of a great quote from psychologist Carl Jung, he said, “We don’t solve our problems, we outgrow them.” As I’ve been thinking about this the past few days, I realize how often my attention is actually on solving my problems, instead of outgrowing them. No wonder the ones I obsess about the most seem to linger. However, we’ve all experienced this outgrowing process many times.

What Is Acceptance?

To accept something is to let it be as it is, to not fight it, not even the idea of it, internally. It is to be open to what is, however it may be, without resistance. It is the understanding that every moment changes; therefore, what may be now will change. This allows continual acceptance to happen. When we create resistance against ideas, moments, thoughts, feelings, others, or anything at all, we are forcing ourselves into one way of living. It is saying I can only be happy if I approve and accept what is happening or going on around me.

Your Sales Team's Attitude heightens Their Altitude

One of the greatest gifts my sales mentor ever gave me was the belief in myself that I could be successful. I can still hear John’s Scottish accent ringing in my ear saying, “Once you have done it once, no one can tell you that you can’t do it again!” As he coached our sales team to greater and greater heights, I realized that John always made a conscious effort to keep us motivated as part of his daily routine. Later when I managed my own sale team, I also made attitude coaching a part of my daily routine, and my sales teams flourished as a result.
