DEPTH ©Lee Wise, 2002 The appreciation of life I gain as I process the tragedies in my life and the lives of those around me. A THOUGHT OR TWO... Our lives consist of a series of stories. Average ones And not-so-average ones Yesterday I listened as two of our friends shared at a conference their not-so-average story. The story began as an ordinary return trip from a family outing. It was one of those 'nice family times.' Without warning everything changed. As they drove out one side of a tunnel, the car was instantaneously engulfed by a thick fog. Within minutes our friends found themselves being rushed to nearby hospitals and trauma centers. They were torn apart and sent in three directions: each to their respective place of care. The words 'concussions,' 'broken back,' 'broken neck,' and 'coma' took on entirely new and all-to-real meanings for this average family on what began as their 'average' day of fun together. There were not many people at this particular conference. It could easily be termed 'small.' But... The depth of what was shared as we listened and interacted with our friends who had passed through this disaster created an atmosphere of thanksgiving and appreciation for just being alive. One of the other couples in the room had experienced a similar catastrophe. And they, like the speakers, became intimately acquainted with the term 'broken neck.' The wife of this couple shared a thought concerning one of the many reactions to their ordeal: 'You realize what's really important.' At that point there was a brief pause in the room. A silent moment of reflection and understanding. We identified. Not because we had identical stories, but because we could revisit one or more of our own dramas that motivated us to weigh 'what's really important' in our lives. CREATING YOUR BEAUTIFUL MOMENTS... What about *your* similar story -- or stories? Why not take a moment and review one or two of the most meaningful stories of your life? Stories that caused you to 'come back to center.' Stories that stimulated you to contemplate what really matters, be truly grateful, or take life changing steps of action. Why? For the purpose of allowing the positive results of those moments to visit you one more time. And maybe -- just maybe -- help you during an important day of your life: today.

Limiting Beliefs - How to Break Through the Barrier Circus trainers used to tie a chain around a baby elephant'sankle to stop it from escaping. The chain would be connectedto a tall spike which was hammered deep into the ground. As a baby, the elephant was not strong enough to pull out the spike, and so it learned not to try. As the elephant became fully grown, it continued to believe that it could not escape, even though it was easily strong enough.The moral of the story is:If you don't test some of your old, limiting beliefs, youwill stay stuck… 2. Talk Yourself To Success There are many things that drive people to success, and a key factor is what is known as 'internal dialogue'. This is the dialogue that is constantly playing inside your head. It's the voice that starts talking as soon as you do something, meet someone, or think about anything. In many cases, this voice can be destructive and knock you down, though it is possible to quite easily harness his internal dialogue and use it to propel you to the success you desire and deserve. You may notice that on o… 3. Traveling Out Of Body I can see the cops coming! They're a good thousand feet away. I can clearly make out their uniforms and swinging nightsticks. How can I be seeing this?I didn't dare mention it to my fellow underage drinking mates lounging with me on the grassy knoll in the park. Am I making this up? Projecting it somehow into my vision? Forcefully, I shook my head back and forth in an effort to free my mind of its strange perception.But the view of the two police officers remained in my sight, as they sauntered … 4. Do you live the life you desire? There comes a time in every person’s life when you look at yourself and wonder what became of all your dreams and plans for the future. What happened to that future? Is it too late now? Can I create a meaningful lifestyle? I read in the paper about this man in a small town who had been working in the same office since he was young and now at 55 he discovered he never really wanted to work there. And so he opened his own little bakery, which had been his childhood dream, and started a completely … |
