I paid for some coaching years agon with a gentleman by the name of James Mapes.� I had seen James while in Cancun and he lived so near to me at the time, I thought it would be great if I could coach with him.�
We met a few times and I had some really neat breakthroughs.�� The one thing he gave me as an everlasting gift was an expression.�
Isn't that interesting?
He encouraged me to carry it with me and whenever I was able, use it.�� So, when I found myself using langauge in a certain, or predjudices surfaced, even when anger or other weird emotions popped up, I would think and actually say, "Isn't that interesting".�
Years later it still serves me.� I'll admit that soemtimes life goes by incredibilly fast and I forget to stop and think, I just react.� But more often than not anymore I am able to briefly pause and think, isn't that interesting.��
So, what's eating away at you from the inside, what causes you to react and not act?
Ever have the stars align and then your internal compass tries to sabotage that?
I had the stars from 6 months of work align in the last 48 hours and I feel my body and my constitution objecting.� The cool thing about personal growth and self awareness is I recognize that.� I am able to reject the emotions and am able to work through it.
It's actually a pretty cool breakthrough.� Before I would have chucked it up to just being sick.� Now I knwo it's always something underlyying.
I napped twice to shake the physical effects and i have eaten well and drank lots of fluids and i am managing to tackle the day.
Big night tonight and big day tomorrow.� I am excited to meet new people and excited we can help each other change the world.
Dreams come less vividly when I sleep lightly.� I had been sleeping deeply of late and my dreams are "Living Color", WILD!!!!
Kids are driving Nancy crazy on Summer vacation.� It's interesting how much time we spend with our kids.� Our parents never spent this much time with any of us.
Statistically speaking, Ed, the odds do not look good... "Hey, just remember to love yourself no matter what happens."
Spiritually speaking, well... let's see... "Ooh, la, la! Where did you get that tan?! Is that your passport? You know Prince Charles?!"
Just so you know which side of the fence to play on.
Thoughts become things, ����The Universe
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain
Do you know why koala bears are so cute, Ed? Why ospreys dance in flight? Why cheetahs run so fast? Arctic terns fly so far? Flowers smell so good? Blueberries taste so blue? Butterflies flit? Parrots talk? Whales sing? And doves coo?
Because I was having fun. Which is my greatest wish for you in all you do.
You can, ����The Universe
I was looking for a solution to begin my journaling that was easy.� I was in that dream state early the other morning and I thought, “wouldn’t it be great if there was an online journal that would remind and prompt me to journal”.� Well here we go. �It is my intention to leave some type of legacy for my children and anybody who cares to read or listen.���Discipline weighs ounces and regret weighs a ton.� (Jim Rohn)� I don’t regret anything, but I do struggle with the simple disciplines sometimes.� It’s easy to stay in bed, or eat those extra bites, etc,etc. It is my intention to blog/diary/journal every day even if its to say I am grateful for……….�
�
Today I am superbly grateful for all that I am and all that I am capable of becoming.� I am proud of my beautiful children and accept the challenge that comes with raising them as a gift.� I am thankful for my faith and the ability to explore and discover more. Most of all, I am thankful for this moment, right here, right now and how great it is to be in the moment.� I am awash with joy over that. There is no before or after, only now.� Praise be for the ability to grow and change my thoughts.�����
