Changing your Life Starts with You!

-
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. It's true.

Everyday, when I wake up, I say, "This is the First Day of the Rest of My Life." I am fully aware that Yesterday was a memory (for which I am eternally grateful regardless of what transpired) and Today is a gift. Is the song coming into your head now? "My best friend gave me the best advice... he said each day's a gift and not a given right."

If your Consciousness was high enough, you would realise that the future is not guaranteed. Plans are only thoughts and intentions. But what about now? What about today? A very close friend of mine achieved this level of Consciousness about 3 months ago and last weekend, his life on this planet ended. Did he achieve everything he wanted to achieve? Is he grateful for what he experienced in his lifetime? Whilst the answer to the first question may be in the negative, I have little doubt the last question can only be answered in the affirmative.

I was reminded of a very important lesson which I took from this workshop I did: in our survival modes, we go through life thinking that we are fighting to win or to be right. If this is a fact of life, then fifty per cent of this planet should not be alive and should be dying on a daily basis! Life is not about surviving but rather about serving... serving oneself, serving others, serving the planet, serving the Universe, serving your soul... and most importantly, serving one's Life Purpose. In our uniqueness, we each have our own Life Purpose. Why would the Universe have created us as Beings (not as humans) if the aim was to fight for your life?

The good news is that there is an alternative. Prior to my raised state of awareness, I lived as though I needed to fight to survive, fight to be right, and fight to win. After all, is this not what a lawyer does on a daily basis? I realised all of this only during the workshop.

WRONG! Life is not about fighting for survival, or to win or to be right. Otherwise, life would be no better than a Game. In fact, there is no fight unless you create one! I know my Life Purpose. That puts me in a new Boat... one which carries with it great responsibility... I act in a way that harmony is maintained in life. My objective in every activity now is what route maintains a win-win result?

Reflect on this in your own life and you will be amazed what you discover...

Go forth with Love.

My Second Turning Point

-
As beings, we hold great responsibilities in life, both in our personal and professional lives. This is true irrespective of whom that being is. We do not live only for ourselves but also for all beings with whom we interact (regularly or randomly). Therefore, we must live on purpose and carry none of our misgivings or bad habits with us. If we do this, we are not living on purpose but rather out of fear because our actions (which are based on fear) then become the recipient’s problem. Releasing those fears (whether old or new) is the kindest thing we could do for the planet. -- Little Ol' Me x

Lessons from Edward de Bono

-
Edward de Bono (quite simply) a genius of human behaviour, creative thinking, and thinking as a skill in general. To quote The Times , Edward de Bono is "a cult figure in developing tricks to sharpen the mind." He has stayed true to this description! Here are some of the lessons I learned from his book How to Have A Beautiful Mind : How to AGREE – AGREEMENT: When in a discussion with someone, and that person puts his point of view across, even when your immediate reaction would be to disagree, do the following: Think about special circumstances that may prevail giving rise to the correctness of that opinion e.g. when someone says that arranged marriages are a good idea , you may very well disagree with this, but then think about the troubles of finding a partner in turmoil, or cultural expectations external to your own environment. Also, consider the possibility that you may have read arranged as being akin to forced . Compare that opinion under your...
