Greatness Tip!

I read somewhere that 85% of our happiness in life comes from happy involvement with other people.  The other 15% comes from achievements in life. 

What's interesting about that is not only how extreme the percentages are but also, that we tend to, at least at first, talk about achievements and success as the superficial topic, hiding the real issues.  As a business, relationship and life coach, I have many clients show up at our meetings initially with issues about growing their businesses – it might be sales focus, market focus, operations etc. but often times, the real issue that burdens them or holds them back is a relationship with someone significant in their life or the relationship they have with themselves.  Unknowingly important to us, many people function on a day-to-day basis, thinking that things are just how they are; never questioning what is, and simply accepting the relationships we have with our spouses, our children, our co-workers, our suppliers or our parents and inlaws. 

Do you know that you have the power to change all those relationships and improve them?  Your change in communication or your courage to add a new element or dimension to your relationship may open up doors that you never thought was possible.  Playing victim in your relationships gets you nowhere – the energy is dead.  If you were to take a leadership role in your relationships, what would that look like?  I am co-writing a book that explores this topic in detail – it'll be out in September.

Personal Reflection: What Have I Learned?

What an incredibly cleansing week I have had.  I wanted to protect an entire week to eliminate all my drains and energies that have been suppressing me.  So, as difficult as it was, I did not schedule one client at all and focused on a lot of the things in my home and work life that have been energy-zappers!  I filed, tossed, de-cluttered, tidied, simplified and made a point to see friends that I had been looking forward to seeing but "never had the time to see"!  What have I learned?  That "not having enough time" is really not a good excuse.  It's where you make the time and we can always choose how and where we spend our time.  Safeguarding a whole week to de-clutter was the best thing for me.  I'd really recommend it! I feel fresh, energized, grounded and have more clarity for the week ahead.
