Our work is a huge part of our life and, more importantly, when our work is aligned with who we are and what we value most we get so much closer to a life filled with fun and ease. If your work is a major source of frustration perhaps it's time to give your career a jolt. A good place to start is with these 3 Secret Frustration-Busting Tools I developed. My gift to you. http://www.mcssl.com/app/?af=1550918 I routinely travel for business. I give talks and conduct workshops and I have learned to pace myself when I am on the road. It has been commom to go out for a couple of days only to return home in need of a couple of days to rest and revive. I recently returned from 10 days on the road. I was nervous because it was the longest continuous business trip I have been on. I was amazed to realize I returned more energized and inspired than when I left.
OK, the body changes and ages with time. The spirit does not. I love the message Isabel Allende shares about living a passionate life in this TedTalk. At 71, she is living a full, passionate life. I agree with her perspective about retirement. It's a choice, And I look to my retirement with excitement. For me, It isn't about stopping. It's about choosing what I will create each day. In truth, it's an extension of my life as it is now. A big part of my dream for my next book is gifting a pre-release copy to clients, family, friends and colleagues.

Dr. Brene Brown rocked the world in 2010 with her TED Talk Houston. At the time of this post, Dr. Brown's TED Talk has been viewed almost 15 million times. Her brilliant discussion about shame and vulnerability highlights how our experience at work is impacted by our personal sense of worthiness and our willingness to be vulnerable. Our willingness to let ourselves be seen creates an amazing experience! Elizabeth Gilbert, the author of Eat, Pray, Love, talks about our individual, beloved vocation and the importance of embracing it. Elizabeth challenges us to think about what we love in this world more than we love ourselves. The thing we can dedicate ourselves to with a singular devotion. What is your vocation? Miriam and I are writing our third book. We love to write! We love creating helpful tools for our readers.
The working title is A Relief Guide For Clergy - How to Turn Off When Everyone Expects You to Be On. And....we have a commitment from a very important figure to write the Introduction for this book. More to come! |
