PATIENCE
Patience in the Present

Patience can be hard to find in our fast-paced world. Watch this video to remember that with patience the world is a much more wonderful place.

One moment is all it takes to change your life forever. One insight. One conversation. One decision. One idea. One step.

How does true transformation happen?

Transformation happens at a moment when we’re no longer willing to settle for what comes to us in the moment, to settle for what’s “good enough.”

Transformation doesn’t come easy. It requires clarity, self-honesty, insight and action.

There’s also a science to transformation. A chemistry. There are 5 elements that when they come together – an explosive transformation occurs.

How Real are Your Fears?

By Meepp, July 6, 2010 8:41 am

Do you know the roots of and reasons for your fears?

Paul Slovic, a psychologist at the University of Oregon, has spent decades studying how we decide what’s risky and what isn’t.

His studies have shown that how risky something actually is has almost nothing to do with how risky we think it is.

Slovic has demonstrated that people think skiing is safer than flying on a commercial aircraft, that smoking is less dangerous than being around handguns, that nuclear power plants are riskier than cars.

Think about these questions: Do more Americans die of suicide or homicide? Which is more lethal, kidney disease or AIDS?

According to the U.S. Government, in the year 2000 nearly twice as many people killed themselves as were murdered, and kidney diseases caused nearly three times as many deaths as AIDS.

Although Americans consistently rate nuclear power as one of the most dangerous of all technologies, it’s actually safer by any objective measure than most other forms of power. And two of the deadliest things in America are cigarettes and cars; auto accidents alone kill an average of 115 Americans every day.

When we’re subject to fear our judgment is severely clouded and we make unwise decisions. Overcome fear through a commitment to continual education and persisting in courageous actions.

Defining our Values

I-beam are steel beams used for support in construction. They typically measure about 6 inches wide, 8 inches high, and 140 feet long. They are one of the most essential building elements.

They can also be used as an exercise to determine what we really value. And once we determine what we value, we can spend our time, money, and effort accordingly.

Suppose an I-beam were laid on the ground with a $100 bill on one end. If all you had to do was walk along the length of the beam to collect the money, would you do it?

Of course you would. You may slip off once in awhile, but you would give it a shot.

But what if that same I-beam were fastened between the tops of the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur? (These buildings, standing 1,483 feet tall, were seen in the movie “Entrapment.”) Would you still give it a shot?

Factor in the wind, which at that height is a constant and would cause the beam to sway from side to side. By the way, no parachutes are allowed.

Would you cross for $100? No? How about $10,000? $10 million?

No sane person would make the attempt, no matter how great the potential reward.

So what have you learned? Though you probably value money, you put a higher premium on your safety.

Makes sense–$10 million dollars is hard to spend from the morgue. Is there any way you would give it a shot?

But suppose your spouse or child were on one side and you had to cross to save them before they die.

Are you starting to think about crossing? Are some of you already halfway across? I would be.

I like this exercise because it helps to really organize what is important to me and where things in my life rank in importance.

The daily grind makes it easy to forget what we truly value. Even for those who do remember their values, it’s easy to forget to let people we value know how much we value them.

Some people will read this and think “That’s a cute idea.” They’ll quickly do the exercise in their heads and then life will get in the way.

Those that can take that passion and can connect it with their real lives and can tap back into it when life’s little mundane activities are facing them are the ones who truly embraced the exercise and hopefully will emerge with a greater understanding of value.

Isn’t it nice that we don’t have to cross an I-beam to protect the things we care the most about? Some of us need only to cross the living room or pick up the telephone.
