Autotelism: The Path to a Life of Joy and Fulfillment

August 16, 2022 | by | Comments Off on Autotelism: The Path to a Life of Joy and Fulfillment

Your quality of life is not based on standards such as time or ranking, but on finally awakening to an awareness of the fluidity within action itself. ~ Haruki Murakami ~ I learned a new word recently. I love when that happens. The word is “autotelism.” It’s defined as the belief that any action has meaning and purpose within itself and not apart from itself. Autotelism is when you sing because you like to sing. You are a vegetarian because you like being a vegetarian. You meditate because you enjoy meditating. You do it because it’s there to do. You

Are You Cheating on Your Inner Truth?

October 16, 2014 | by | Comments Off on Are You Cheating on Your Inner Truth?

We spend much of our lives asking the question “What do people want me to do? Who do they want me to be? But that is a betrayal of your inner truth. We should be investing our lives in the pursuit of discovering who we are and what we were created to do. ~ Elizabeth Grace Saunders It starts early. Some stats show that we are told “no” roughly 400 times a day before we reach two years of age. The jig is up on knowing your inner truth before you are even old enough to recognize that you have

Where Do You Look for Greatness?

October 9, 2014 | by | Comments Off on Where Do You Look for Greatness?

“Each person was meant to blossom into their own unique signature of greatness.” ~ Bryant McGill I’m thinking about a friend today. He’s no longer with us, having passed over awhile back, so I don’t know exactly why he popped into my head. But he did. When I first met him, he participated in a course I coached. I was a newbie at coaching and he scared the socks off me. I did whatever I could do to avoid dealing with him. Not that he was easy for even a seasoned coach to deal with. To put it mildly, he

February 20, 2014 | by | Comments Off on How Do You Make Life Work?

“I’m not telling you to make the world better… I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor

Twelve Thanksgiving Reflections on Gratitude

November 28, 2013 | by | Comments Off on Twelve Thanksgiving Reflections on Gratitude

Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving. ~ W. T. Purkiser Thanksgiving is upon us. There is so much to be grateful for this year I thought I’d list a few things using the word Thanksgiving as my inspiration. T – Trust I’m thankful for a seminar where I learned that we can trust everyone to be exactly how they are and exactly how they are not. What that means to me is that if there is someone in your life who has demonstrated they are not trustworthy

How to Embrace Your Leadership Qualities

November 22, 2013 | by | Comments Off on How to Embrace Your Leadership Qualities

Instead of looking for a great leader, we are in an era where each of us needs to find the great leader in ourselves. ~ Werner Erhard How often do you stop to think about great leadership qualities? You may think about it in terms of leaders you admire. But do you think about your own leadership qualities? I recently attended an excellent leadership course. It took us in a different direction when it comes to examining outstanding leadership qualities. Rather than talking about the doing of leadership, we spent two days inquiring about what it takes to be a leader.
