The Connection at work and with being of service.
Aug 12th
My work is about being of service to others. I believe that what Dan Millman said in the Peaceful Warrior about the highest purpose is for us to be of service to others. It is a giving and the creation of transformation for others, through the program of recovery. It is not that I can change anyone but rather that I can have a conversation about transformation, about them transforming their life.
The message, so to speak, comes from many levels. It comes from the thoughts I have about something I have read or have been working in my studies. At times I am not sure where the message comes from. Tonight was one of those moments. When I speak in group, for example, there have been times where I believe it was not be speaking, rather something or someone else. Such a moment happened again tonight.
I believe that what generated the conversation about transformation came from that connection that we practice restoring. Dyer wrote of this in his book, The Power of Intention. The connection is to our intention, to that which connects us all to each other, creating unity.
Reflections upon my Transformation.
Aug 8th
To transform my life is not about just changing it, the outside or external parts of my life. It is about transforming my thoughts, my thinking, and more importantly, who I think I am. This fundamental core belief about my identity, who I am in the world, is very difficult to alter, as it has been around along time and has been supported in a variety of ways. For the most part, and for many, it is hidden from view, hidden from the individual who life it rules.
This transformation to which I refer is difficult as my core belief, my self limiting belief, attempts to stay in control. It does not want to change, as it is my identity, who I think I am. We must have an identity, even if it is negative one. The transformation that will take place is slow and will require consistent and constant effort. The intervention that I am using is the use of positive affirmations. Saying and writing the positive affirmations everyday will eventually transform a person’s life and ultimately who he or she thinks they are in the world and in life.
Acknowledgement, a way to transform your life.
Jul 22nd
Moving on our journey through life can have its ups and down. We can have our breakdowns and our breakthroughs. One of the important breakthroughs to have concerns that from which we actually create our life, from our thoughts and thinking. We create our life and state of being from our thoughts, from how we perceive others, people, places and things. We create our experiences from the meaning we give life.
One way to consciously and deliberately create our life is through the use of acknowledgements. There are two forms or types of acknowledgements, for others and for ourselves. To create a positive state of being, a positive space from which we can live powerfully, could be enhanced by acknowledging others, for saying positive things about others, to recognize and express verbally how that person is actually transforming their life in a positive manner. What we put out will come back to us.
The second form of acknowledgement has to do with ourselves. Given that we sometimes, if not a lot of the time, live life from a space of negative self concept, to generate positive statements or acknowledgements of self is about
actively transforming our state of being. To acknowledge the positive things that we are doing is to reinforce them, to keep them alive in our world, to cause more of them to continue to show up in our life.
