Sparked!

Don’t die wondering if you left it all on the field. Don’t die wondering if you gave it all you got. Don’t die wondering if you truly “seized the day.” Don’t die wondering what it feels like to be fully alive. Today we talk about owning your power and the questions to ask to get you there.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.”

― Rainer Maria Rilke, Austrian Poet

Are you living out loud? I ask myself this question a lot. And then I wrestle with the answers. I look at all of the ways I am still holding back, playing small, shutting down, muting my enthusiasm. And I share them with you in these Daily Whispers. What does live out loud mean to you? Let’s find out!

This process of the good life is not, I am convinced, a life for the faint-hearted. It involves the stretching and growing of becoming more and more of one’s potentialities. It involves the courage to be. It means launching oneself fully into the stream of life. – Carl R. Rogers – American psychologist

Always we hope that someone else has the answer,some other place will be better,some other time it will all turn out.This is it.No one else has the answer.

No other place will be better.And it has already turned out.

At the center of your being you have the answers.And you know what you want.

There is no need to run outside for better seeing,nor to peer from the window.

Rather abide at the center of your being.For the more you leave it,the less you know.Search your heart and see thatthe way to do is to be.

by Lao Tzu — (maybe, maybe not, it really doesn’t matter)

What type of listener are you? Are you an active listener? Do you get distracted easily? Do you really focus on the person speaking? Mindful active listening is a great trait to have but it often takes practice to develop. In today’s Whisper, I review four ways to build the muscle of achieving the status of active listener.

W.A.I.T. Why am I talking? What kind of communicator are you? Do you speak deliberately and consciously? Or, do you sometimes get distracted and run off in unending stories? In other words, are you precise with your speech or do you unconsciously vomit on people? In this fun Whisper, we continue our investigation of looking at specific behaviors as a way to shed light on to how we are living. Today we look at our patterns of speech.

How do you consume information? It’s a huge question! In this episode we talk about 1) being aware and 2) being more mindful about how/why/when we consume information including: news, social media, emails, texts and more. I’m not in opposition of information. All I am suggesting is to shine your awareness on your patterns. That’s the first step to change.

How you tend to your everyday life—cooking, cleaning and prepping—points to how you tend to other areas of your life like self-care, business, commitments, etc. Tending to the simple things in your home, your car, your garage, garden, desktop. These are all behaviors that we can look at. Because they are a reflection of how you’re doing other things. As you do one thing you do all things. Remember, this is a practice.
