Between Your Regret, Reminiscence and All of Your Planning

My first InTheLifeRoom Podcast in 2016. I hope it blesses you.

That 10-second wait to hear this podcast is part of this lesson. There is anxiety when we have to stand in our current state and wait. Stay in your moment of quiet with confidence. What starts for you starts in the right time for you. You tend to lack nothing as much as you lack contentment in/with the current moment. Striving has its place. Don't strive for what other people have. You have a place to be that is ordained for you and only you. That grass you see on the other side of the fence is plastic. It really isn't where you want to be. You'll get there through grace. Confidence in getting there by being healthy and whole and happy in your present day while taking care to execute in a way that assures a good today is the new human imperative. Planning has its place. Don't get caught up in the game. The distance between planning and regretting is being. Know and execute your plan for today. Who you are right now is everything. What you do today is significant. It impacts that tomorrow which creates too much anxiety right now. Show up as your best self today. You , your friends and family, your employer and community and ....THE FUTURE want you content right now. We have a responsibility to be content here and now. A happy today is a birthright. Yours. That is the thing we all have in common. That birthright is internal for everyone.

LETTING GO....

L-E-T-T-I-N-G G-O You have seen these words before..yes? Very simply written in nine letters. “L e tting go .” Why does it make you uncomfortable? It is simply an action that you as a human being experience every single day, just by physically and chemically existing. It is an action that occurs when you have complete trust in your intuition ; that heaven sent voice inside of you. You know the one you may not always agree with, but the angels are so fond of you ..they send it into your ears, head, heart , and sometimes your eyes? If you are reading this your eyes open and they shut very quickly ..it is called "blinking" but in fact it is letting go and it happens very quickly. As we blink old light goes away and we allow new light to come in …seeing the next moment. As you turned on your computer or device you may have pressed a button, touched the screen, flipped a switch. As you clicked on your mouse, stroked and released keys on the k...

Where Did It Go? The question that comes when ownership is lost.

" Where Did It Go? " This is a common question asked about time, goodness, old regimes, and old relationships, memory and other than that... money and misplaced keys. Where did it go? We hear this amongst those of us who have not set a strategy and intention for what we have. This also the question that comes particularly from those of us who become all too confident in what we have but do not own. Ownership of one's talent,work, innovation, relationships and contribution is either an old or new concept in many places. What is encouraging is the ability to list our criteria for ownership and then be honest about what we truly own. Here are a few that I was thinking of today: Ownership of material things - You paid for it , don't owe anything for it to anyone Ownership of relationships - You tell the truth, engage with grace, and express mutual respect without excuses or references to what does not apply to the person you are relating to Ownership of innovation -...

Live Your Life As if Everything Is Rigged In Your Favor ..Even in Technology

I have an educational background with a top American engineering school and an Ivy League University. Society does not expect to see someone that looks like me on the campuses much less in those classrooms. Nevertheless, I did that. Several years ago, I had a White co-worker tell me that my voice on the phone and my knowledge base made him assume that I was much older and also White; so, he was shocked when he met me. He was also quite dumb because … I mean, use LinkedIn! I told him never assume anything about someone’s race based on the sound of their voice. I was already clued into the assumptions and bias that people have and offended that intelligence and articulation are deemed ” White” traits. The fact of the matter is that there is no gender or color for intelligence. However, if you ask Apple or Amazon – you’ll find that “Siri” and “Alexa” voices are predominate in their AI. I’ll leave it at that and expect the Tech world to act on what they already seem to know. I have...
