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.

Tony Robbin

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

By Meepp, July 1, 2010 8:11 am

By Mark Brown

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.

Shaping our Lives

Tomorrow is the most important thing in life.  It comes to us at midnight very clean.  It’s perfect when it arrives and it puts itself in our hands.  It hopes we’ve learnt something from yesterday.

Facing our Fears

By Meepp, May 9, 2010 9:48 am

Fear  is sneaky and all consuming – fear ties our soul into knots – fear takes a firm grip on our heart & squeezes- fear fills us with self-doubt & loathing – we find excuses to harbour it – to keep it safely inside us – we do not acknowledge it – it is like a crazy-maker friend we are too ashamed to expose to the world….

Instead of embracing our fear. Understanding that  it is normal and natural and, when acknowledged and understood, can be mastered… we give into it and it masters us.

For some of us fear is so deeply entrenched that we are unaware of how passionately it controls our every waking moment.

Fear is not something to be ashamed of.  There is not a single person on this planet who has not experienced fear when stepping outside of their comfort zone.  It is when we allow fear to become an inhibiting factor in our lives that we know we have allowed fear to master us instead of us taking control of it.

Try, instead, to embrace fear as a useful tool that keeps us in check.  Think….. Fear is Good – Fear is Wholesome – Fear is Necessary!

Fear should not be self-inhibiting.  Fear should not be used as an excuse to avoid issues or not to experience life to our fullest capability.

Think rather of it as a safety net.  Without it we would head off on a whim, uncontrolled.  To experience fear is to be alive.  To know we are about to embark on an adventure – no matter how small or mundane.

For every time we take on something that makes our heart beat faster – our hands to grow sweaty – our legs to turn to jelly -we should rejoice that we are stepping outside of the mundane in our lives and taking on, instead, something that is currently bigger than us.

And, when having done so, to experience the joy and satisfaction of having achieved a victory.  To know that we are on our way to getting back control of our life… instead of life controlling us.

For, is it not better to live a life by design rather than by default?

State of Mind

Take a Peace Break

In the bustling madness of life, working hard all day long, no one will ever thank you for being stressed and tense.

Listen to your body’s natural rhythms and if they’re telling you to “Take a Break”, do something else – waste some time.

“Once in a while you have to take a break and visit yourself” – Audry Giorgi

There’s always somewhere you can go to feel at one with yourself – a park, the sea, a cafe, a church, a room  or even somewhere that brings back a happy memory.

Go there and treat yourself to a huge dose of calmness.
