1/27/2015 0 Comments The still small voice...I am not a "Bible beater," however, there is a particular passage that is universal that I revisited today- listening to the still small voice. The omniscient, ever present, beneficent, universal energy that is and always will be. The challenge is to listen...So the story goes that Elijah was on the run from family, terrorist,God and his wife. Pretty frightened, in a cave he heard a still small voice, "a gentle whisper, " as the King James Version puts it. So as the story goes, he was running away for his own misguided reasons. So the universal energy confronts him ( maybe our own conscious) and asks -Why are you hiding and running away? Ironically the "voice" instructs him to, "Go back to the way you came," confront the issues, listen to your higher conscious not your fearful self and Deal with the problem at hand. Wow. Got it! Thanks! This semester at Atlantic Cape will prove to be quite challenging. I have 3 classes and Film Club to attend to; that's about 70 human beings. My challenge is, that they all seem pretty alert! Game on. So some of the dialogue we are having this semester is about personal power and then academics. 1-Dont let your work become your identity. However, tap into your values and passion to find what you love. And that will make all the difference for you and others. 2-If your in it for the money...well that's what your going to get...the money. Personal and intrinsic satisfaction is much more pleasant, honorable and satisfying. 3-The landscape of our lives are changing so rapidly, you may be preparing for jobs that don't exist yet. 4-As future leaders we need to be thinking more creatively as a community. Embrace your passion, creativity and truth as a human. Take care of the earth and each other. 5-Be mindfull that over 50%of the inventions that we will use over the next 25 years have not been created yet. 6-By 2030 there will be over 70 million Americans who are over 65. 7- We are experiencing a paradigm shift from the Industrial Age to the Information Age-which is significantly impacting the individual, society's and nations. These advances in technology's,medicine and education will create new models that will propel us as a society for the decade or destroy us. I am hopeful. 8-Spend a day at the YMCA, homeless shelter, psychiatric unit, the local hospital,a local church... 9- Reconsider why we spend 900 billion dollars a year on football when people are living out of their cars. 10- Consider taking care of and honoring your: Home,relationships,family, friends,passion,spiritual truths,intuition,health,creativity,career, and the list is infinite. 1/27/2015 0 Comments Vast human potentialJanuary is always such a challenging month-Transition out of winter and into spring. The transition is not always pleasant or easy, but our perception of the transition is really all that matters. That lead me to contemplate what keeps us from reaching our highest potential as humans? The answer I came up with is pretty simple- the beliefs we choose to hold onto about the world, ourselves and others. So naturally, that would mean if we shifted our perspective and opened our mind to the realm of possibility, never ending unlimited possibilities, our life could be exponentially different. There would be no lack or want or the desire to have MORE things- but perhaps a desire to honor what we do have, because in this shift of perception we would realize we are pretty lucky just being...today was a little difficult for me, so I shifted my perception and created this blog. Iam easing into the end of my day being humbled by a few things: Embrios become babies. A tiny seed can become a majestic cedar. And the same stuff stars and planets are created from is the same in me. My final though about today is that action creates results...
