Do you remember those deep thoughts we learned about ourselves and our
worlds during special weekend courses we attended over the last few years?
Some weekends were religious, some were about happiness and peacefulness,
some were team building, and the list goes one. I will never forget those
courses’ impacts as we walked away with a renewed spirit for enjoying
our worlds.
Below are some of those thoughts and ideas that have been mulling around,
lately. Perhaps, within my humble and random musings, you might remember
a phrase or a memory of a place and time in which an enlightened “Surprise!”
moment seemed to make you a lighter and brighter person. Here we go…
I love different points of view in whimsical and deep conversations,
coaching sessions, and in business collaborations, remembering all involved
will be helped whether or not it seems so.
I want laughter with friends and clients and associates without another’s
emotional expense in the balance.
I believe all is in perfect order, and I genuinely desire the same
order for those around me.
Unsure what perfect order is any more, I remember it has meant comfort
and direction when challenges appeared; so, with or without angst, I
will stay believing perfection and order exist.
I remember no one knows for sure, but, at times, my illusions would
have me assume the other person must be right.
I remember I am capable of choosing to take on someone else’s illusions
as my own—or not.
I remain as peaceful or joyful or curious as possible in moments of
seeming disruption.
I believe I was born to make choices, and by choice, I may weave this
way and that until I am able to recognize my intentions have met the
choices that have already appeared.
I believe, at the end of the day, I am capable of creating a moment
of joy for having done the best I could have done.
I am the only one who can feel what I choose to feel, and I could change
my mind, too.
I notice how my world is expanding, because others’ judgments, opinions, and evaluations could have been mine, too, if I had worn their boots long enough.
I believe compassionate leadership qualifies as service to those who
intuited certain capabilities in me.
Perhaps, being an Earthling is much more than I ever imagined. Nearly
every day, I turn a few minutes into grateful reflections for those who
came my way.
