2012: The end of the self as we know it

by Alan on January 18, 2012 posted in Change Agency,Mindsets

Those Mayan’s!

They sure were great astronomers for their time!

Given that their calendar was carved in stone tablets, can we blame them for stopping 3,000 years into the future?

If this is not the year the world ends, perhaps it can be the year the world re-invents itself.

WTF are you waiting for?

Do you think the world will transform without your active participation?

OH NO!! Are you still waiting for a supernatural being to swoop down and save your ass? Are you still waiting – year after year, decade after decade – for some magical something to suddenly change things for you?

Nobody will change your life without you.

We’re here to love you, support you, challenge you, and invite you to higher levels of yourself.

But I can’t go to the gym for you or meditate for you. You’ve got to do that.

So maybe it’s not the end of the world, but it’s a great opportunity for a new beginning.

Take time away from the news and from negative people. Take time to tune in to your truth.

The world is transforming. Consciousness worldwide is elevating.

Get on the escalator, will you?

The purpose of gratitude

by Alan on December 22, 2011 posted in Empowered Communication (NVC),Mindsets

Gratitude keeps us connected to what is working, rather than dwelling on what is not working.

When used in its purest form – as a celebration – gratitude keeps us connected to the natural joy of giving that comes spontaneously when we are connected to how powerful we really are in our capacity to enrich each other’s lives.

Besides being a form of celebration, receiving gratitude also serves the function of feedback, and lets us know that we have hit the mark. Most of us want our words or actions to serve or contribute to life, and without this feedback, we can be tempted in certain situations to stop trying. Who wants to put energy into something that seems to bear no fruit?

The most important question we can ask…

November 14, 2011

What we find and discover is guided by what we are asking. The more conscious and intentional we can be when we ask the questions that guide our day and our life, the better for us and everyone. The most important question we can ask, is: What is the most important question? Tweet

Many are called…

November 11, 2011

There is an old biblical expression: “Many are called but few are chosen.” I heard another version I like better: “Many are called but few are choosing.” Tweet

What you appreciate appreciates

October 25, 2011

When you focus on something with appreciation and gratitude, it grows and flourishes. When you become conscious of what you have been unconsciously aware of, you can be more intentional about where you direct your attention. Notice what you notice. Tweet

Occupy Wall Street’s Rise or Fall

October 21, 2011

Occupy Movements beware: there are two camps in your midst, one of which will guarantee your descent into historical meaninglessness. Please just follow my thought-form here, and at the end, reply or comment telling me if it makes sense to you or not. If the Wall Street perspective and values structure is “conventional” then the [...]

Old World – New World

October 11, 2011

In the old reality, picking one cause made sense because in the old paradigm things were fractionalized and segmented. But since the 1960s, we are increasingly aware of the interrelatedness, interconnectedness and interdependence of all the various liberation movements — and of the root causes of humanity’s, society’s, and the planet’s ills. It’s still OK [...]

Sex is the least private act

October 10, 2011

Sure, you can close the bedroom door. But if my sexual connection with my significant other this morning had been a bummer… …I would carry that energy with me all day. It would color every interaction I have. The energy of the most private events of your private life ripples outward and affects everything you [...]
