The Art of Crashing

Who can relate to learning how to ride a bike as a kid, and the inevitable crash that followed?  Maybe it wasn’t the first day, but at some point, you became comfortable, and stopped paying attention to what you were doing, or you attempted a new trick, only to come crashing down. Maybe you never had this experience with a bike.  For you, maybe it was on a skateboard, or rollerblades, or surf boarding in the ocean. I’ve experienced many crashes in my life, but I’ve never surfed (nor is it on my list of top 10 things to do).  Continue reading >>

Small to Large

Nov 302011
 

In Monday’s article, “Letting Go, A Practical Application,” I shared my thoughts on exactly that:  How we go about Letting Go and Trusting. I provided examples of small Let Go’s and large Let Go’s, acknowledging the vast spectrum that exists.   I walked through a real example of something I wanted to Let Go of regarding the upcoming holiday season.  After finishing the example, I concluded with: “The more we adapt our mode of thinking and the actions that follow to Let Go and Trust Life on the small stuff, the more we practice on a daily basis, the better prepared Continue reading >>
