Do I hear voices?


Where do you spend your time?

Let me guess: commuting, working, shopping, cleaning

Where would you rather spend it?

That question leads straight to your heart, to your passions.


The answers are there, but are you listening? Are you alert?

More importantly: are you ready to act on what you hear??

Or would you rather stay where you are?

 Try this, just for fun:

Ask every task frequently: 

-          Is it a must or a want?

-          Is it in line with my goals, or is it freeflowing?

-          If I were free, what I choose?

-          Can I simplify, integrate, delegate?

-          Which of my talents are used here?

      -      Does it help me grow or does it hold me back?

 

Learn to hear your voice.

Where your passions, your talents, your conscience and your needs come together—that is where your voice originates.

As I crossed the border into Pennsylvania and waved New York goodbye, I knew I would never live there again. In one flash, my neatly planned sabbatical became a pilgrimage. Destiny: unknown, Goals: keep breathing Obligations: one and one only: connect with my core and find out what it wants, without the comfort of income, ruts to...

Auto biographies

If you want to take a hard look at your life and plot your future, look at how you came to be where you are now.  Go into your past to find your future. Easily said, but where to start or how to go about that? The real motivators behind our significant decisions often hide behind routine explanations. Incident by incident they help us slip through the escape doors we invent to justify our actions. If your autobiography has to produce honest answers, you have to find honest questions.  What do you want from it? Analysis? The red line through your life’s story? The helicopter view? The out-of body-experience? The way forward?   If you're done with the popular chronological format, may I invite you to rearrange the order? Organize the events in your life in different context. Here are a few examples: List all the schooling, that is all education, continued education, mentoring, self-study you have done over the years. Include all the reasons why you engaged i...

Does your money respect you?

  Do you have a mutually respectful relationship with your money? You probably give money much more importance than it gives you. Maybe your money is constantly demanding your attention, like a jealous lover, stressing, pushing, seductive, and illusive.   But what about you?
