The Answer to all of Life’s Questions-The Bear in the Room!

Are we so focused on what we want, or what we think is happening that we miss the big picture? Is it really that easy to see it when we look for it?  When others are caught up in a drama it is easy to see what they are missing. You just want to yank them and shake them until they wake up, but it is hard to do it with ourselves.   In the past I have been just as guilty, not seeing my own drama, or patterns, or whatever else has been holding me back. Years have gone by and I did not notice the bear, until he began to jump up and down right in front of me. Positioning himself just so…to where I could not look around him anymore…wanting me to see him, and it is then and only then that I did.

So it made me realize that this is the answer to all of life’s questions!  That the answer is right here if we just see it.  So let us stop what we are doing right now!  Breathe…Relax…Slow down our minds… Start zooming out on life.  Get a little distance from it.  What are we missing? In business? In love? With our family?  With our friends?  Start to watch your life as you would be watching a show!   What would you do differently?  What needs to be done?  What changes would you make?  You know the answers…if you don’t, keep zooming out.  Give yourself some distance until you can see the whole picture.  If it helps, look at your life as if you were looking at someone else’s…what would you see?  What would you say to them? What would you change?  The answer is right in front of you!  Look for what is obvious!  See the bear!

Woodstock – 3 Days of Peace and Music

WoodstockPoster

I am not exactly sure what the Tipping Point was that allowed a peaceful event to take place at Woodstock. It was one of the most tumultuous times of the 1960’s, and was coupled with the fact that so many things went wrong… they had a shortage of food and facilities, a soaking rain, with an unexpectedly excessive amount of people, and a lack of organization for the peaceful chaos that ensued.  This seemed to be the perfect ingredients for some sort of helter skelter, but it did not happen… why?  Was it just something that the collective majority desired and envisioned?  Was it just the fact that the focus was on Peace and Music?    What made this event different than other events that took place at the same time?   I am not sure what the answers are, but I do know that it happened, and it is proof that peace is possible in times of chaos!

So let us remember on this and every Anniversary of Woodstock that we have proof that we can have peace now, in whatever we are personally and collectively going through…

Gross National Happiness

The first place that I would like to travel to is the country of Bhutan.  Bhutan is a country that is located in the Eastern Himalayas, and I believe that it would be the perfect place for me to start my journey bringing me more peace and inspiration in their beautiful country.  The true purpose of the trip however, would be for me to study their Gross National Happiness (GNH), a term which was coined by a former King of Bhutan.  The GNH looks at the well being and happiness of the citizens of the country and, in general, came about when the King decided to build an economy that was not just based on economic growth, but would grow in unison with spiritual development.  Bhutan is the only country in the world to measure its wellbeing by Gross National Happiness vs Gross National Product, and the country has ten ministries that are working together toward this goal.

Bhutan does so many things right that it may take several blogs to tell you what I think that I know about them, and then again after, or during my journey to tell you what I know for sure.
