Lessons Bloom Like Lilacs
Lessons learned in life
the lilacs are in bloom
muse not needed now
No Regrets
I have no regrets of any kind
I let them go in order to find
A place that is filled with peace
A place where I can find release
There are things that make me cringe
Things I can’t take back or unhinge
I wish they would have never happen
But changing them is not an option
I cannot live my life stuck in the past
Or worry about the bad choices that I have amassed
I can only accept the path I have taken
For that journey has brought me to this junction
All those things that make me sad
Have made me who I am, and for that I am glad
I can’t look back with guilt and shame
For then my future would be the same
So I let go of those things years ago
Not because I don’t care but because I choose to grow
So…

Be Alert to the Needs of Others
Michael Hyatt shares:
Because we are so busy with our own agenda and tasks, it’s easy to overlook the needs of those around us. As I watched this beautiful Russian video, I was reminded again of the need to be alert to the needs of others, stop what I am doing, and lend a helping hand. The truth is, we are all in this together.
Are You Too Nice?

Are you too nice? That may seem like a strange question because most of us would think that being nice is a wonderful way to be. But sometimes we are too nice

Tell Your Business Story, One Blog Post at a Time…
Mike Allton [one of my new favorite bloggers] writes:
Since pre-historical times, people have been using the art of storytelling to communicate. Cavemen drew pictures on cave walls depicting great hunts and deeds. As language developed, oral tradition started, where people would tell and retell the same stories over and over again to communicate their history and values. And then to help our forgetful minds, we found ways to preserve these stories on stone, paper and eventually electronically.
There are lots of stories that provide pure entertainment value, but most stories strive to teach us something, whether it’s an actual lesson, or our history, or perhaps the human condition. If you think about some of the movies that you’ve seen which, years later, you can still recall and enjoy – there was a lesson in there that stuck with you.
Do you remember, “Toto, I’ve got a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Sure you do, that’s from The Wizard of OZ! Dorothy has an experience after her home is struck by a tornado and it teaches her to love and value the people she has in her life.
Ok, how about, “Houston, we have a problem.” Of course you remember Tom Hanks delivering that classic line as Jim Lovell in Apollo 13. The simple understatement of the line is even more profound considering most people who watched the film were familiar with the story it was telling, and knew that the astronaut’s troubles were just beginning. But we love that story and that film because of the fantastic triumph of the human spirit it portrays.
And what about, “I’m gonna make him an offer he can’t refuse.” You know that one. The Godfather, right? What’s the lesson there? I don’t know, maybe, don’t mess with the mafia?
The point is, those were great stories which touched us and taught us something. We enjoyed them and related to them and remember them to this day.
What if you could do that for your clients?
One of the most effective purposes for a business blog is storytelling. You can tell stories about your clients and your products or services, but one of the best ideas is to tell stories about your actual business. But what do those stories look like? Here are six different kinds of stories you can tell, as well as some general tips on great storytelling.

The Gift My Mother Gave to Me
I know that Mother’s Day is over for some, but for others Mother’s Day happens more than once per year! Tara Lemieux shares this:
“You can. You must. You will.” — Eunice Shriver
These are the words shared by Kennedy family matriarch, Eunice Kennedy Shriver, and to her daughter, Maria Shriver.
Her words were simple, but their meaning most profound—in that all things, when done with the fullness of heart, are possible.
In this most beautiful video, Maria Shriver tells the story of how her mother broke through all social barriers in founding the Special Olympics—and in doing so, became the torch-bearer for so many young dreamers.
“You are the stars,” she urged these most brilliant young souls, “and the world is watching you.”

Life as we find it…
“Life as we find it, is too hard for us it brings us too many pains, disappointments and impossible tasks. In order to bear it, we cannot dispense with palliative measures. There are three such measures; powerful deflections, which cause us to make light of our misery, substitute satisfactions, which diminish it and intoxicating substances which make us insensitive to it.” Sigmund Freud

Mark Nepo: Lineage
Mark Nepo writes:
Beyond family or the culture and religion of our birth, life will lead us to discover the lineage we are a part of, the circle of kindred spirits that nourish our soul. The difficulties of living can often make us put this lineage aside to deal with trouble first. I’ve done this and found myself lessened for putting what matters last. This poem speaks to how draining it is to put trouble first.
Lineage
Old Friends, Old Teachers,
I never meant to crowd you out.
At first I would drop anything
when you would appear. And
then, it was the noise of the world
that made me save you for a more
sacred time. It was obstacle after
obstacle that drew my attention,
while I kept you like a prize for a
quiet simple day. No one told me to
make this separation. I just started
to keep what matters from what
needs to be done. I began a
life of clearing debris in order
to live in the open. But there is
always more debris. And after all
these years you’ve never failed me;
always waiting in the noise, in
the pain, in the thing
to be cleared.
A Question to Walk With: Describe one way in which you’ve put tasks before things that matter. How can you reverse this and recover the priority of embracing what is sacred?

Thank You for the Gift of Your Light

4 ways to connect with absolutely anyone
Through life we have to connect with all sorts of people from all walks of life. Family, friends, co-workers, superiors, supermarket workers, service staff, and so the list goes on.
Sometimes we connect really well with people, and other times it feels like something is lacking.
On those occasions where you have trouble connecting – who do you hold responsible?
Chances are, you hold the other person responsible. Maybe they just aren’t as intelligent as you are. Or witty. Or funny.
However, if you are able to meet with every person where they are at. Whether they are the smartest person or the dimmest. If you are able to connect with them. And make them feel seen and heard, then that is the test of real intelligence, more than anything else.
When you meet someone new, instead of thinking “is this person worth my time”, turn it around, and think…
