From A Return to Love
Shift from a sales mentality to a service mentality.
Joy has no cost.
Does it feel like your armor is down if you go to work with the intention of showing love and compassion? A corporation may not have a soul but that does not mean that you have to leave your soul at home when you go to work!
from The Four Agreements
What anyone says or does is about them, their reality, their stuff!
It is not ALL ABOUT ME!
What a huge disappointment. No more drama.
Deepak Chopra likes to talk about detached involvement. Being able to step outside yourself and observe your actions. The energy directed toward observation of self will be returned to self in increased awareness and clarity. This is the path to personal growth.
Agreement #1 from The Four Agreements.
Impeccable means without sin.
everything feel or believe or say that goes against yourself is a sin.
Every word you speak has the potential for spreading a deadly virus or a miraculous healing.
What will it take to think before you speak today?
from The Paradoxical Commandments.
What are the things that could be blocking your success?
I remember my father going through all of the Dale Carnegie books and training. How to Win Friends and Influence People was at the top of the list. The intent you have when entering into a relationship or even a simple conversation is the key element. If your intent is to get something from that person, you have found a false friend. If your intent is to keep the other persons best interest in the forefront of your mind, you have made a positive impact on your sphere of influence. Success will natural follow……..its the Law!
Give people the chance to do the right thing.
Give people the opportunity to improve.
Give people the tools for success.
Give people unconditional love.
Forgive.

I have had an unpleasant interaction with a medical supply company recently. I take full responsibility for my dissatisfaction because I assumed that I could trust this company to deliver what they said they would when they said they would.
Unfortunately, I lost my cool. this happens to me every once in a while and it is ugly. As a musician, every mistake I make is broadcast through an entire auditorium or recorded for posterity! I can’t afford the luxury of miscalculation or disengagement. I don’t have the opportunity to go back and fix a wrong note that has been thrust out into the universe!
I don’t really understand a world where you can go back and fix things.
When it comes to customer service, I can understand how difficult it is to handle someone like myself that is furious with the consequences of an employee’s oversight. All I wanted to hear them say was,
It is understandable that you are upset. Let me figure out how we can fix this issue.
I never heard these words. I don’t trust this company any more. I feel like a victim of their power over me. I don’t feel like I have a choice about where I purchase my medical supplies from and they know it.
Where does this principle of helping this company get what they want and eventually I will get what I want come in to play?
I need to give them the information they need to improve their system.
Forgive.
Move on.
Peace.
from Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith.
Only you know the reason for your actions. You can choose to operate from your ego (Edge God Out) or from our Higher Self. The feeling of bliss surrounding your choice will tell you if your thoughts and actions are originating outside of your own self-interest. Gary Zukav talks about this as the difference between External Power (Egocentric) or Authentic Power, the power that comes from choosing to serve others with a big picture of the greater good in mind.
Self-check this week before you send that email, before you accuse someone of anything, before you act from a place of pain and fear within yourself.
Allow others a little space when you see them acting from a place of fear and doubt. Retreat, with love, so they can process an overreaction to a simple situation. We are here to heal and to heal as a community.
Do good anyway!
Anyway: The Paradoxical Commandments by Kent M. Keith. These ten principles were first articulated by Kent Keith as a student at Harvard in the 1960s. Since then, unbeknownst to him, they were quoted, circulated, and appropriated by countless people around the world and back again. They even served as a source of inspiration for Mother Teresa. Now, here are his commandments, the philosophy behind them, and the stories that bring them to life.
Your worth in dollars is finite. Your impact is priceless.
Here is a great perspective on setting your fees for for professional services.
The benefits experienced by the client through the coaching process are priceless. What you, the coach, charge for your services is just a drop in the bucket.
Yuck!
This sounds like negative thinking. It makes me feel like not getting up.
Lay out your Eat a Frog Project everyday. Start the habit of doing what is critical first and then moving on to secondary tasks. It is like the “Red Bull” of time management.
If I have done the most critical thing I can to do………the rest of the day is a cupcake!
Many times it feels like I float from fire to fire. Other times I decide to put on blinders to the needs and unfinished tasks around me.
Deciding what matters most can be easy.
What task carries the greatest, long-term consequences if not completed?
Make a cause and effect chart for each item. For example; completing a project for work on time is important but the long-term effect of eating poorly and not exercising has a greater impact on your life. If you are hospitalized for health issues that could have been prevented, that project on your desk right now is going to be done by someone else.
