When Horrible Things Happen – Human Spirit Shines Through

This week, the world witnessed an event that shocked many of us in Boston. As the days pass, stories of heroism, random acts of kindness and pure human spirit at its core surface. Naturally the main media focus on the negatives and the ultimate conclusion of how something like this can happen.

Yes it makes us angry, yes our hearts go out to all those who are touched by this event and yes LOVE will TRIUMPH over HATE. Despite being a transformational leader, there are still days when I don’t feel so sparkly and I get yanked into a discussion about how bad the economy is (only if you believe it) before my consciousness goes ‘Hey stop with the heavy thoughts man, come back to the light!’ So it’s a daily reminder that it can requite effort to stay focussed and ‘aligned’! You will notice the more you stay on purpose, the more you are true to what makes you happy, many of the daily challenges and ‘gripes’ that you had before, simply fade.

When life-altering events happen – your perspective changes. This week has been another reminder of how GRATEFUL we should be for all that we do have, who loves us, how well our business is doing and the home we have! Its easy to get sidetracked and focus on everything that you DON’T HAVE and how ANNOYING your neighbour is or that your home just isn’t big enough! But what I and my clients have found, if you can carve out time every day – even 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night to say THANK YOU for all you DO HAVE…MORE just turns up. Give it a go this week!
