Being FULLY PRESENT to Life

Fulfillment happens in the present moment. Most people spend their time fretting about the past OR worrying about the future. Do you know anyone like this? We live in a fast-paced world, and the concept of slowing down and appreciating each moment may seem like a waste of time. However, it is in the present moment where you will find FULFILLMENT and joy.

Conscious Connections: Are you FULLY Connected?

When activity is high, it can be easy to lose connection with what is most important. We may diminish the big and little successes occurring along the way. We may not stop and fully connect with those we love - enough or at all. We may set goals and objectives haphazardly, not owning or connecting to them at the core of our being. We may avoid connecting to the underlying feelings that haven't been expressed. We may lose connection with ourselves. Whether you fit the "busy" description, or are just casually pacing through life - STOPPING and taking the time to "consciously connect" is essential to maximizing fulfillment AND productivity.

Your Circle of Influence: What is their impact on your life?

As human beings, our lives are shaped and influenced by a myriad of factors, and relationships is at the top of the list. Think about how much of "who you are today" was influenced by a specific parent, sibling, relative, teacher, coach, neighbor, author, speaker, boss, co-worker, spouse or friend. Values, habits, behavior, knowledge, skills, passions, hobbies, tastes and attitudes are typically learned through association with others. Yet, as influential as relationships are, most people haven't consciously chosen their greatest "circle of influence".

Letting it all in. Are YOU?

We strive for goals and aim for perfection. Why? So, we can experience a peak moment of accomplishment, a loving relationship, ideal health or fulfillment? But, are we EVER really "letting in" the joy of it all?

Truth-Telling Game

Intimacy is one of the most fulfilling aspects of relating with another. In opening oneself and revealing your innermost thoughts to another creates intimacy, understanding and deepens any relationship. The feeling of "being known" and "knowing another" authentically is fulfilling. One fun way to stir up the intimacy quotient is by playing the "Truth-Telling Game". It’s simple and easy, but not for the faint of heart. It’s about connecting to your truth in the moment, and then sharing that with another

The Dance of Control

How many things in your life do you attempt to control? Schedules. Time. Relationships. Children. Money. Business transactions. Performance. People's opinions and beliefs about you. Your emotions. Others emotions. Your thoughts. Creating more fulfillment. Clutter. Reducing stress. Outcomes. Your health. Your environment. Your future. Some may argue about the value and necessity of control. If we aren't exerting our influence on others, taking decisive action and managing our time - wouldn't that lead to disaster? What would happen if you let go of control? Or loosened the grips of control?

SPIRIT vs. EGO

Spirit is the "life force energy" that is about experiencing, creating, expressing and connecting in this world, while the ego is more like a "body guard" or "tour guide". The Ego’s job is to keep the physical body safe, and guide your "spirit" through the journey of life. However, it often oversteps its duties and responsibilities. Most people don’t realize the nature of these two individual forces, and continue to struggle between these two energies.

Excellence, Integrity, and Standards

Human beings are drawn to excellence, integrity and high standards. We know it when we see it. We are naturally attracted to these qualities. They are easy words to say, and sometimes harder words to live, especially consistently. Yet, when we do live these words, there are great rewards -- externally and internally. People admire and trust those who exude these qualities, and want to associate with them and buy their products and services. Yet, perhaps the biggest reward of all is a "deeper and more respectful connection" to ourselves, and a greater sense of personal power and fulfillment. Sometimes the short-term pain is worth the long-term gain.

Selfless Contribution

Contributing is the act of GIVING one's energy for the good of another, whether it's a listening ear, sharing our expertise, wisdom, a skill or labor, a large financial donation, a genuine smile, a word of encouragement, coaching a friend, authentic feedback or volunteering your time and energy. Contribution makes the world go round. When we give, there is a typically a reward... sometimes a paycheck or monetary compensation, and other times we know we'll receive appreciation, acknowledgment or love from the recipient. Yet, how often to we truly contribute SELFLESSLY?? -- Where the focus is solely on GIVING with NO CONCERN of receiving ANYTHING in return.

Should the UK and the Eurozone adopt America’s Chapter 11 format for bankruptcy?

In America, when a company gets into difficulty it can file for what is called Chapter 11 which is named after the U.S. bankruptcy code 11. Chapter 11 is a form of bankruptcy that involves a reorganisation of a company's business affairs and assets and it generally filed by corporations that require time to restructure their debts.

Lessons from Worst Bosses

Whether he is speaking to an audience of 2,000 or a single journalist, Robbins can’t help but be passionate.

How to Choose the Best Fulfillment House (For Your Project)

You have a marketing program to execute. Maybe you're running a sweepstakes promotion, warranty registration, literature fulfillment, or you might even be selling products online. In order to bring this program in on time and within budget, you'll need access to some highly sophisticated software and equipment, plenty of warehouse and production space, plus a few additional helping hands to get the project out the door. And oh yeah, you only need these resources for the length of the program. But you need them now! So how do you maximize results while minimizing costs (not to mention the impact on internal resources)? You use third-party fulfillment (3PF), of course.

The Myth of Retirement for the Entrepreneur

80/20 Principle in Entrepreneurship

To work effectively and profitably in business our 20% input of work should yield 80% output. 1. Where is the 20% input in your daily work either at home or in business that returns 80% rewards? 2. What has to happen in your business to pay attention and focus on that best 80% return? We should act on what inspires us.

Do not rob the world of what you have to share.

In your work, and in your life away from work, you participate in conversations. People speak, and people listen.

Discover How to Follow Your Heart

When you become aware of the root of achievement, every door you wish to go through will open wide. It truly is the key to success. Whether you use it to open the door or not is your choice, something you have total control over. Whether you choose to open the door or not depends solely on your heart-set, not your mind-set. A mind-set is a fixed mental attitude formed by experience, education, and tradition. A mind-set is not the reason you succeed. In fact, it is often the reason you fail. The things you have your mind set on are often either expediencies and emergencies or idle reveries, so your prevailing mind-set lacks the power to sustain effort over time toward the kinds of lifetime achievements that bring real fulfillment.

Creating an Extraordinary Organization

If everyone would like to work in a thriving, enlivening and nurturing environment, why is it that almost no one loves being at work?

It Coulda Been Me

In today’s society, so much is based on scales, decided by tests, and judged by comparison. It’s no wonder that society, as a whole, has issues about achievement and the quest for success.

The universal Law of Equality states that the dreams and desires of each person are just as important as the next, as is their fulfillment.

Joyous Journeys

How often have you heard someone say, or even said yourself, "I cannot wait until that course is over", "Boy, will I be glad when this project is over", or "I will be so glad when all of this planning is done"? Only to find that once the finished line is crossed, that the feelings of exuberance just do not measure up to what was expected. This is a very common occurrence. Why does this end result often leave us feeling like there should be more? The answer is best explained by the simple phrase of "Joy is in the journey, not the destination." Ahh, does the answer strike a chord?

Building a successful legacy one purposeful act at a time

In this article, Richard Monette expands on his popular article "The Success Formula". He uses the example of the Banff Centre - one of Canada's most well known and successful professional development hubs - 75th anniversary to present a clear recipe to building a successful legacy.

More specifically, Richard explains how to go beyond the concrete, easily measurable and tangible results and account for the intangible, fleeting outcomes behind those numbers. Richard concludes that defining the fulfillment variable in the Success Formula is not a license to avoid the hard work required to deliver results.
