The Power of Your Battle
“When you fight something, you’re tied to it forever.
As long as you’re fighting it, you’re giving it power.”
Anthony de Mello
What are you waging war against?
What struggle, issue, battle or injustice are you dragging around with you…
day after day…
month after month…
and, for some,
decade after decade?
Some are very busy with what went wrong…
what didn’t happen (and should [...]
On the move~
“Little by little, one travels far.”
J.R.R. Tolkien
She said that she didn’t feel like she was making progress. She swore that nothing had changed, and she had been doing nothing…
not one single thing to make her life more of what she wanted.
As we were talking she started naming what had changed in the past year,
and we [...]
Living all of you…
“While we have the gift of life,
it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die—
whether it is our spirit,
our creativity,
or our glorious uniqueness.”
Gilda Radner
Life continuously challenges us to make choices,
and still find a sense of balance.
Sometimes it feels like managing all of the parts of life is a graceful [...]
Write it down!
“The discipline of writing something down
is the first step to making it happen.”
Lee Iacocca
Some say that they don’t have time,
others say they don’t need to,
but the bottom line is, writing a goal is a commitment.
A commitment to you, and a commitment to owning what you want.
Yet so many aren’t willing to commit to what they [...]
Pure Power
“Listen…
Are you breathing just a little
and calling it a life?”
Mary Oliver
This captures it all, doesn’t it?
Read it.
Read it again.
Now, answer the question…
Are you?
Think about it…
Are you??
And, if you’re breathing “just a little,”
and it’s been that way for far too long,
what are you going to do about it?

Living…or just thinking?
“You cannot plough a field
by turning it over
in your mind!”
Anonymous
There is a point to planning, and thinking, and developing a direction in which you will head.
But, for many, they stay there…for too long (and some stay there forever!).
You cannot iron out all the wrinkles from the couch.
You cannot do everything in your head, or on [...]
Credit and Blame…
“Take your life in your own hands and what happens?
A terrible thing: no one to blame.”
Erica Jong
I have had two very interesting exchanges with people recently, both cases were with people that were trying to convince me (which meant that they were trying to convince themselves), that they had no control around something in their [...]
If you love it…
“Your chances of success
are directly proportional
to the degree of pleasure
that you derive from what you do.”
Michael Korda
By all objective standards, he was good at his job.
He was able to fulfill the job description without incident.
He had been a solid, stable employee for the past seven years.
He produced…and completed…and performed…very well.
But, when he talked about his [...]
Go…FASTER!
“The more one hurries, the less time they have.”
The Universe
“If only I had more time…”
“There aren’t enough hours in the day…”
“I wish I could clone myself, because just one of me can’t get it all done!”
At one time or another, many of us have felt like there simply was too much to do, and not [...]
