Interesting ideas with Stan Hustad

We welcome you to a new beginning of the transformation project as we continue and invite you to join us in The Transformation Zone. On this very special day that is often devoted to personal transformation, we join that effort and want you to join us too.

But we want to do more than that we want to understand how the transformation process works and how we can maybe create it, or even guide it... And be a part of helping people, businesses, organizations, and even communities better achieve their aspirations for a full and meaningful life.

So join Stan and Joe and as they also introduce Kevin into this project by beginning to help us know how we might begin to change new ideas into new and powerful and transforming realities.

Please pay attention. We would be grateful

And remember to read the Substack columns where you can help Joe write his book. Go to http://transformationsbook.substack.com

The celebration of Yom Kippur has begun. It is the highest and holiest of the holy days in Judaism. Even though we are not members of the faith and tradition, we are in deep sympathy, empathy, and a feeling of deep spiritual kinship with our many friends in faith.

We too seek to keep the Sabbath and in particular we celebrate the Rosh Hashanah, New Year's, and the 10 days that follow which are the Days of Awe culminating in this holy day which is the Day of Atonement.

These are challenging times for us all but in particular for oir Jewish friends and those of us who are friends of the state of Israel. It's been said that Israel is right now in the midst of a fight for it's very existence and it is in a seven front war.

I asked a good friend and a colleague in some projects, Steve Lear, to join me in a conversation of forgiveness, and a honest look at the situation before the people of Israel and indeed before us all; and in hope for a new spiritual renewal and direction for us all in the new year! We welcome you to be a part of our Yom Kippur conversation.

He asked me to step in for him and be him on a video. He was a well-known writer covering areas of money, finance, and life principles based on biblical principles and from the Talmudic principles of the Jewish tradition.

It was fascinating as he took some of the teachings and ideas from the ancient wisdom of the Hebrew and Christian scriptures and came up with some very significant and very helpful planned for life and business success.

And during the Covid crisis he did a special presentation which I not only performed and appreciated it... It really touched my heart and mind with some profound understanding.

So with your permission on this day before the Yom Kippur celebration and commemoration, may I share with you the story and what it can mean for you and for me today!.

It's been said that there is a real epidemic of loneliness and that leads to depression and other things that affect our mental health and well-being.

Today a new friend of mine, Bill Buck is our guest contributor to the Days of Awe and he has a number of good living insights that will help us. We are made for personal connection. That is often when we are at our best to help one another and by doing that actually helping ourselves.

So join me for a few minutes of coaching and counseling on relationships that may help us not only be better at who we are but better in connecting with one another and then being more fully alive.

And what do you think that might mean. There are some people who don't believe in evil... Oh there are bad things and there certainly must be some bad people, but evil, not so sure.

Well what do you believe and how does that impact how you view the world, how you live your life and the decisions you might make when confronted with things that are not very nice, not very good maybe, even very bad. Could it be that they are even worse than bad?

Please give me a few minutes to think about this with you and see if it might be helpful to you and maybe we could help us to understand some things first of all about ourselves, and then how we should live our lives in relationship to others when things are really bad~

Of course, many people think of new year as a time for new beginnings and a resolution to be better, to lose weight, to get in shape, to stop smoking, to drink less, and to think of things that might be helpful to do to make things better.

But in the Days of Awe ... We are challenged to do much more and in many cases we are challenged to do things that will improve the state of our soul, our state of mind, maybe even the very state of our being.

My friend Joe Pine will remind us that it may be about a transformation and there may be some simple steps to begin, however we will need to not just begin but find the ways to sustain our growth, our spirit, and our good intentions to not only do better but be in better relationships with others and possibly even with God.

This is a special edition radio program. The world has now heard about the catastrophe that took place from the hurricane and flooding that has smashed into large areas of the state of North Carolina.

And the catastrophe continues and many people are still unaccounted for. As a member of the Rotary clubs I was able to make contact with a fellow Rotarian who is located in the city of Asheville. Her name is Lacy Hagan

Fortunately even though she's had a number of difficulties she is OK and doing fine and helping to rescue others and she had the ability to get through and we had a phone conversation in which she told us about what's going on and how difficult it is... And perhaps how we can be helpful.

The motto of Rotary is service above self and they have been trying to more than live up to that at the present time, and obviously they will continue for a long time. And Lacy gave me the sad words that in many situations they now have gone from attempt to rescue to recovery.

I invite you to listen to the 25 minutes and then of course pass this on to others and continue to pray for them all help for them all when you can and how you can and of course pray for the children.

So many people in my home state of North Carolina have been devastated it's been just awful. And the threatened war in the Middle East could be very awful. And yet we seek to have hope.

This evening the new year begins for many and it is the hope of the new year that we will prepare ourselves to receive many blessings and share many blessings that are truly awesome.

Here are a few suggestions that you might bring to others and share your wisdom insight and truth in ways that might change someone's life starting now in the Days of Awe!

As we post this program in the mid afternoon here on Tuesday, October 1, there is now a state of war between Israel and Iran.

And this happens just as a number of us are celebrating the start of a new year and also doing so in a way that we are thinking reflecting and even praying about what the new year would be like and should be like.

So please hear me out for 10 minutes and hopefully you can contribute to some important understandings about what we should all be about right now during these Days of Awe~

Let me tell you right now that this story is exactly 60 minutes. And it is well worth your time to spend part of your weekend to listen to her story of how she started with nothing and created a national business all on her own with a little help, and then figured out how to live a life of generosity and service to others.

And as she will tell you, she is no saint, but she is extraordinary and focused, and well coached and extremely resiliant and she learned how to be one of the 3% of the population who knows how to succeed in life.

And as a woman in a man's industry, how well and powerfully she overcame the barriers and broke the walls that were necessary for her to succeed in a very challenging and difficult industry.

She is wise and witty and fun to listen to, and you will learn a lot. I guarantee it.
