Who’s Got Your Back?

Keith Ferrazzi has a new book called Who’s Got Your Back.  I have not read it nor have I read his first book Never Eat Alone, but may be I should.  I believe that to have a perfect life in a perfect world, no matter what the life is that you want to create, that we need to have great relationships. 

They say it takes a Village to raise a child, and I say that we need that village to stay with us as we grow old. The village may change a little, people moving in and people moving out, but we need people around us who have our backs.  People, who care and support us, people who will not only hold us accountable but will encourage us to continue to create the life that we want. 

We can not do it alone and feel fulfilled.  Success at any level feels empty if you have no one to share it with, but that being said, we need to love ourselves first.  We need to know the strength of our village members. We need to know who has our back, and if we find that our village is too small, or that no one in our village is capable of giving us the encouragement and support that we need.   Then we need to love and respect ourselves enough to know, that it is time, to bring more people in.    

Just a thought!

We Reap What We Have Sewn-Green Shoots

In our economy, in our lives, in our relationships, in our health, and in our jobs… basically in every action that we take, we are planting seeds for our future! 

 

And nothing is more important for our future harvest than deciding what seeds to plant.  For these seeds will determine the reality that we will soon be living, and if we choose particularly well, then some of what we plant, will have the potential to sustain and nourish ourselves and generations to come!

 

Just a thought!

Green Shoots in Our Economy

Bernanke needs a new pair of glasses! Unfortunately I am afraid that the green shoots that he is seeing are weeds, and yes at least something is growing…  we would not want to see another great American dust bowl!  Yes, it is great that our economy did not totally collapsed, and that our ground is being held together by something, and yes we should be celebrating that!  But we also need to be planting our own seeds!  Seeds that will help us, our families, our communities, and our world become a better place!

 

When we think things are going well we tend to go along our merry way, functioning without much thought, along with the rest of the status quo.  I am here to remind everyone that this is our opportunity for change!  To start again with thought, and a new awareness!

 

No matter where you are in life.  Do things differently… think of the greater good!  Deep down you know what the right choices are… you may think that they are harder, but in the end the crop you reap will be so much better than you can imagine!  But do something!  Don’t just sit there!  Bernanke needs our help!  So get up, get out, and start working that soil, start sowing the seeds for the life that you want! 

 

…and then next spring when Bernanke puts on his new glasses, he will again see green shoots, but this time instead of weeds the shoots will be those of flowers, or of volunteerism, or of a new business that you always wanted to start!

 

Just a thought!
