The Art of Possibility

posted on 30 April 2009

Wow! I’ve just been watching an amazing video clip of a guy who speaks passionately about the world of the downward spiral vs the world of possibility. You may have heard of him – conductor Benjamin Zander. On this video there are several gems such as

a) what to do when you make a mistake (and it’s not saying ‘Oh how stupid!’)

b) how sitting on one buttock can transform your life

c) a demonstration with a young cello player of allowing Spirit into what you do

It’s a remarkable form of coaching by a remarkable man; check it out at this link:

How to Simplify Your Life

posted on 30 April 2009

Yesterday on one of my Coaching Circle calls we were talking about flow, and the importance of it in practical terms, ie systems. All successful businesses, large or small, have efficient systems to manage what happens. Even individuals in their home lives have systems (or not!) to manage their household.

A smooth running system can make all the difference to the ease you experience within life. One of the participants recommended a book:

Seven Practical Steps to Letting Go of Your Burdens and Living a Happier Life

‘What do I need a coach for? I’ve always managed perfectly well on my own’.

This is a cry I’ve often heard in response to someone suggesting they find a coach. And of course, some people do manage perfectly well on their own. Others go through traumatic, challenging times and have no problem seeking out help. And yet the majority of people tend to struggle on through life, vaguely feeling like they could do better, or thinking that something is missing, or wondering why life is passing them by.

But having some coaching is just getting help. In the old days, you might have got help from your auntie who lived down the road or round the corner. Now, with [read more]

I was visiting my sister in York recently and while at lunch in a converted church hall (beautiful) I noticed a small book on the table whilst leaving.

“The Sixty Minute Debt Buster — an hour to transform your finances”.

I took a look, and the first thing I read was ‘only carry cash with you’. That was enough for me to buy it, and sure enough that night I did read it in sixty minutes. The advice in it is brilliant if you’re in debt. Very sensible, very easily understood — although it will take you a lot longer than sixty minutes to put what they advise into practice.

But it’s also a good ad for the various debt [read more]

Have you heard of it? I hadn’t.

Last night I was sitting in the Universal Hall in the Findhorn Foundation listening to a presentation about global warming. What’s this got to do with Rich Thinking, I hear you ask? Well, I’ve posted here before about global warming and the world financial difficulties being fantastic opportunities to put thinking richly into practice. But boy, is it challenging! So anything that makes it easier is something I’m interested in.

I nearly didn’t go to this meeting, knowing how easy it is for me to slip into the black hole around this topic. But I left feeling heartened and inspired, and one of the things that was inspiring was this idea of [read more]
