On Purpose Program - 8-weeks to Clarity of Purpose at Unity Center of Mills River

Thumbnail
September 13, 2009 at 1:30pm to November 8, 2009 at 3:30pm
When I ask people what they would do if they won the lottery they usually say something like this:"Well, first I'd want to take some time off and just relax. Maybe travel to the places I've always wanted to visit. Then I'd start doing the thing I'd always wanted to do."You see, most people think there's more to life than sitting in front of the TV watching game shows. They have a longing in their hearts to make a difference in the world; to do something that has real meaning.And sadly, most of…See More

Follow Up from Sunday's Open Space

What a truly incredible Open Space event today. I've enjoyed the World Cafe happenings too, but this one had such a positive, creative and proactive energy, and the cookout was a perfect opportunity to continue many of the conversations.



Thanks Zelle, Maureen, Kerry and the many others who made this such a special Sunday.



Also, I had shared in my talk about an article on Living Simply in a Complex World and then used it as one of the Open Space topics. So, I wanted to… Continue

The Upsides of this Major Downturn -- Part 4: The Opportunity to Know Our True Self

I figured since we're meeting tomorrow at 2 pm I better post this final part in the series. Looking forward to exploring this in an 'open space' sort of way tomorrow.

BRAD

=========================



“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”

~~ Friedrich Nietzsche



There’s no question in my mind that one of the major upsides of any major downturn or breakdown is the opportunity to grow and, in the process, to know ourselves in a deeper, more meaningful… Continue

Part 3: What are the Upsides of This Major Downturn?

The Opportunity to Simplify Our Lives



"If I turn off the TV and there's silence, then what?" That idea is so anxiety provoking that usually we don't turn off the TV. The choice is more naked about where is it that I will orient my attention. Where will I point my mind in a sense and what will I do with my will? How will I exercise my will?



"The spiritual writers tell us that if you will stay with that, stay in that quiet, in fact, enter it more deeply, and you move… Continue

Part 2: What are the Upsides of This Major Downturn?

The Opportunity to Re-evaluate Our Lives



I remember hearing from one of my clients a few years ago that he realized

that he was one of the many people so busy climbing the corporate ladder,

scrambling all over each other he'd failed to notice the ladder was propped

against the wrong wall, and wasn't going to result in a fulfilling or

satisfying life.



What wall is your ladder propped against? Isn't this the perfect time to

spend a little time… Continue

Initial Thoughts on: What are the Upsides of This Major Downturn?

I thought I'd 'prime the pump' of our collective thinking and wisdom prior to the

upcoming April Open Space on the topic of: What are the Upsides of This Major Downturn?

Here are some of my initial thoughts:



We've all heard plenty about the major down turn that we're in the

midst of. The news media is having a real hay day with it all. Unemployment

continues to rise, home foreclosures are everywhere, and no one seems to

know quite what to do about it… Continue
