Time

One of the big challenges for us all is time!

Often when I talk about coaching and how it can help people, I hear how difficult it is for people to gain the the right mind set in order to stay aware of their time.

It's my belief that how we view time, is where we need to make the shift.

Try holding this thought in your mind for a day and notice the difference:

"if your time was your allie rather than your enemy how would you treat it?"

Paradigms

Our paradigms, correct or incorrect, are the sources of our attitudes and behaviours, and ultimately our relationships with others.

Myths

In the "Power of Now", my favourite book at the moment, Eckhart Tolle talks about three myths.


Myth 1 - Humanity has reached the pinnacle of its development.

Myth 2 - We are completely separate from each other, nature, and the Cosmos

Myth 3 - The physical world is all there is.


Just to clarify myths are fictious and unproven in other words are stories we hold as true. We have been told these stories for all our lives so we believe them and sometimes see no reason to challenge them.

Take five minutes and imagine that the three statements written above are totally untrue.

How does this impact on your view of the world and the people in it including yourself?
What beliefs and certainties do you want to change?
What could you imagine doing now that was impossible before?

In agreement with Eckhart Tolle's view I believe humanity has not reached the pinnacle of its development, that we are connected with all life, rather than separate and that consciousness has both physical and nonphysical dimensions of reality.

Success and Happiness

To be without some of the things you want
is an indispensable part of happiness.

Success is getting what you want;
happiness is wanting what you get.
