Fear

A quote:

“It’s not that we fear the unknown. You canot fear something that you do not know. Nobody is afraid of the unknown. What you really fear is the loss of the known. That’s what you fear.” Anthony DeMello – Awareness The Perils and Opportunities of Reality

A little perspective…

Of today’s financial times. Because our minds are conditioned to look at whatever is coming at us, we usually can only see what is right in front of us – what is going on today. It requires us to step back a little so we can improve our view by expanding our perspective.

What are you working for?

Are you working day to day just to pay your bills? I hear all too often that people are waiting until that one fateful day when they can retire, then fully enjoy life. But until then, they are just going to grind it out…

A Little Zen

After winning several archery contests, the young and rather boastful champion challenged a Zen master who was renowned for his skill as an archer. The young man demonstrated remarkable technical proficiency when he hit a distant bull’s eye on his first try, and then split that arrow with his second shot. “There,” he said to the old man, “see if you can match that!” Undisturbed, the master did not draw his bow, but rather motioned for the young archer to follow him up the mountain. Curious about the old fellow’s intentions, the champion followed him high into the mountain until they reached a deep chasm spanned by a rather flimsy and shaky log. Calmly stepping out onto the middle of the unsteady and certainly perilous bridge, the old master picked a far away tree as a target, drew his bow, and fired a clean, direct hit. “Now it is your turn,” he said as he gracefully stepped back onto the safe ground. Staring with terror into the seemingly bottomless and beckoning abyss, the young man could not force himself to step out onto the log, no less shoot at a target. “You have much skill with your bow,” the master said, sensing his challenger’s predicament, “but you have little skill with the mind that lets loose the shot.”

Make Today Count

I am going through old pictures of my Grandparents in a shoe box in the bottom of my Uncle’s closet. A small faded black and white picture 2 by 3 inches catches my eye and shifts my thinking. The picture shows my Grandmother and Grandfather in a sunlight drenched backyard looking at the camera as my Grandmother pours herself a beer from a keg and my Grandfather is looking at her slyly. They are probably in their late 20’s or early 30’s. They look happy, vibrant and full of life, ready to conquer the world. It is an amazing picture of possibility.

The picture is of two people I would not know for another 30 years. When I came into their world they were in the winter of their lives. This snapshot made me realize an obvious thing that sometimes is not so obvious. Time is passing. In this picture my Grandparents were younger than I am today. Time is passing. Too many times I look at my day as something to check off my list. I have appointments, people to see, projects to work on. It is stuff I want to get done. Too many times I forget that each day that passes is one never recovered.

I implore you MAKE TODAY COUNT.

Go and get a picture of your grandparents when they were young and put it in a place that you will see it to remind yourself that time is passing and to Make Today Count.

Send your spouse a love letter.

Call that prospect you have been avoiding.

Tell your staff how much you appreciate them.

Ask your boss about what you do well.
