The quality of the life we live, is based upon the learning we derive from our experiences. I know that for myself, it is sometimes easy to feel that 'Life has taught me some tough lessons, and the scars do not heal easily.' When I find myself thinking like this it means that I have fallen into the trap of believing that 'It is ‘only natural’ that an ‘X’ type event or relationship, will lead to a ‘Y’ type response.' At other times it becomes apparent that if I had somehow learned something different from a particular challenging situation, the quality of my life would be much more rewarding. In working with a client struggling with alcoholism, we spent our first session with the client telling me in detail how he had come to live such an unhealthy debilitating life. In short he said: 'Both my parents were alcoholics, and both of them were physically abusive to me. I grew up never knowing what bad thing would happen next. I learned from my parents that the best way to not have to feel the pain and uncertainty of life was to escape into an altered state of alcohol induced euphoria.' When listening to a client tell such a sad story, it is easy to believe that their situation was all but preordained. As fate would have it, a week after beginning to work with this client, I went to a business luncheon to hear an inspirational speaker discuss how we can live our life fully, and succeed in times of hardship. Indeed, the speaker was truly inspirational. When the talk was over I waited around to thank him. After introducing myself and thanking him, I asked him how he had come to lead such an exemplary life. He looked around to make sure no one else was listening and in a low voice he said the following: 'Both my parents were alcoholics, and both of them were physically abusive to me.I grew up never knowing what bad thing would happen next. I learned from my parents that the worst possible way to deal with the pain and uncertainty of life was to escape into an altered state of alcohol induced euphoria. My parents taught me a difficult but very important lesson. I learned from them that staying present in the moment is the only real chance we have for living a fulfilling life.' What a truly great example of embodied spirit the motivational speaker offers us. The quality of our life is not dependent on the circumstances we encounter. The quality of our life is dependent on what we learn from the circumstances we encounter. Perhaps the greatest example of this wisdom is present in the life of Nelson Mandela. He is a man that suffered great pain and hardship, and somehow his suffering seasoned his soul in a way that has led him to be compassionate and caring. In the course of exploring how to live our life more fully we can consider pondering one question over and over again, 'What can I learn from the difficulties I am experiencing, that will actually ADD to the quality of my life?' At the very least we can begin to entertain the fact that: We can derive a wide range of learning from any single circumstance, event, or relationship. When we get the most stuck in life is when we believe that the one thing we did learn is the only thing that can be learned.
What’s something we do every day, without fail? In fact, woe be unto the person who tries to stand between us and this activity?!

We've probably all heard the famous movie quip, 'why don't you wait here while I slip into something a little more comfortable'. It's a comment to make most of our ears (particularly male ones!) stand up on end with the anticipation that the film has actually taken a turn for the better. In real life however, slipping 'into' something more comfortable can often lead to outcomes that are anything other than desirable. To create a compelling life, often what we need to do is 'slip out of comfort' … 3. Feeling Funky?

You need to be counted and acknowledged especially when you are helping others. One way that you can do this is by taking proper care of your self (having enough sleep, food, exercise and relaxation).
