Steve Jobs last words

Steve Jobs last words... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/10/30/steve-jobs-last-words_n_1066211.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000003
If what I'm thinking or doing isn't creating the result I want... I need to do something else! Things happen in our lives because of choices we make, consciously or otherwise and at the time we make those choices... they seem like the right thing to do... what happens after that choice is just more information we didn't have before which, when used effectively, allows us to make a better choice. Make use of the information you have that will allow you to focus on making better decisions.

Do something different today! It seems like human nature to blame... to find fault so that we don't have to be accountable or responsible... it's somehow comforting to be able to say... look what you made me do... or look how you made me feel... It's difficult to do, however, in the end we are all responsible for our own behaviour and reactions... and when we recognise this... things start to change...
In a country well governed, poverty is something to be ashamed of. In a country badly governed, wealth is something to be ashamed of. Confucius

watch what you watch!

We all have the right to determine what we "entertain" in our minds... If you're watching a "channel" that isn't benefiting you... change the channel! Until later, Leland www.CounsellingandMediation.com Leland@CounsellingandMediation.com

interpretation

Everything is subject to our individual interpretation! Our interpretation is an indicator of why we think what we think... What's your interpretation? Until later, Leland www.CounsellingandMediation.cm Leland@CounsellingandMediation.com 705 999 2107 905 510 9117

Make a difference

Most clients I work with want to be able to make a difference in the world... Many seem to strive for goals that are financially or ego defined successes... lots of money, satisfying relationship, good job, nice house, new cars... and yet, those who have achieved those goals, they either seem to want more or something different... they keep searching as they are not yet satisfied... so, the natural impulse is to choose a different goal... as if it was the choice of goals they originally picked that were wrong! What's wrong with this picture? Why doesn't this work? ... Could it be that the process is wrong? Our need to search for ego satisfaction often comes from an underlying sense of emptiness or dis-connection with ourselves... and others... often experienced as a sense of lonliness. Today... try a different process... practice altruism... do something for someone else without expection from them... make a difference in someone else's life ... for as you lift others, you ...

today

We are a direct result of all the decisions we have made in our past, conscious or not, right up to this moment... And... most decisions are based on all the information we have at that moment in time, only information we gather afterwards causes us (or others) to judge those decisions as bad or wrong decisions... So... it is incorrect then for us to use that negative self-judgement as part of a new (wrong) decision... only as information to make a different decision. If we are not creating the outcome we want... it starts with making a different decision!
