Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison Dying well is a right and responsibility of everyone. It is also an inevitability for everyone. Why then do we struggle in our efforts to deny this and make every awkward effort to avoid it? It is said that we should die a little every day. It is said that children deal with it better than adults. Why then do we seem so surprised and uncomfortable with this aspect of a ‘great life’? Why do some see it as a solution to their lives??? We shall explore some of this jungle on our last show of Turning Point – a GPS for Success www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison I love my enthusiasm for “what’s next”!? And then I marvel at my surprise and dismay for what follows, forgetting that the goal is never the goal… even though this is a discovery I made and for which I coined the phrase – the goal is never the goal – many years ago. The latest ‘surprise’ was in registering for an online course for Addictions and Beyond Kundalini Yoga. When the trainer asked me what addictions I wanted to overcome, I was startled. Addictions? And then, quick on the heals of that, realizing that yes! I do have one - being a perpetual junkie for growth and development. Do you have one? www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison How do we reconcile the difficulty of being a diaspora versus our nature as mobile creatures – nomads by nature and as such learn best when ‘in movement”? When the familiar is radically displaced because of violence versus the transformative experience of exchanging comfort zones for the unfamiliar and building our comfort quotient with failure – the unpredictable? “Death is our constant companion, and it is death that gives each person’s life its true meaning.” Paulo Coelho www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison For years, and with increased intensity in the past few months, there has been a swelling tide of people migrating from their home country with interesting reactions and responses from nations around the world. Last week – the first week of September, there was a Turning Point when the picture of a small, drowned child – 3 years old – washed up on a shore, flooded the media, and, awakening consciousness riveted the world. What does this mean to our personal theology – the nature of humanity and of our view of life? www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison Working with material from Mike Dooley, we will “learn how to focus your thoughts, choose your words, and decide upon the physical steps you need to take in order to achieve the changes you desire”. Turning Point – a GPS for Success will explore success elements, the role of stability, and the learn-able navigational skills and practices that can help us on the journey of the life of a business and the business of a life. We look at what is “It” that keeps us running harder & faster, relentless in the pursuit thereof – the “It” factor? Why is it that we get smarter with technology, connect more broadly with Social Media, travel further afield than ever and yet continue to destroy ourselves (& others) with war, gender abuses, medication, and a growing incidence of disease to name but a few? Isn’t it time for a “Turning Point”? www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison My fascination and enthusiasm for life continues to grow –no matter what’s happening…stretching my heart open for longer and longer periods of time…and feel vulnerable without being victimized…hold my boundaries without being resentful, or beating myself up afterwards…kick up my heels and dance around like a fool…then revel in those moments of deep peace…and ”go back to grazing”. Life is a river flowing through us…what if we lived as though this IS the prescription for our future best self – the one we choose to live into? www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison Whereas last week we visited the power of mindfulness, commitment, and questions. This week we will further embrace the focus on mindfulness, questions, and letting go of attachments; commitments notwithstanding. “Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison…widening our circle…in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.” P 255, Mindsight, The New Science of Personal Transformation”, Daniel J.
