Friday, November 26, 2010 Anonym 3915 Personal Development Doing, Being, Having? During a long walk last week, the first in a very long time, I had some time to clear my head of all the planning and details that I feel the need to go over and over in my head. I started to think about my November 7th tradefair and my motivation for putting it on. I feel so blessed to be at the place in my life with a clear vision of what my passion is, and the reason I am here is because I took some risks and stepped outside of my comfort zone. I began to think about how difficult it is for people to let go of the past, sometimes there is comfort in holding on to their baggage. As I was thinking of this, I realized how at the other side of this, is that so few of us enjoy being in the moment. We are here and we wish to be there, then poof, the moment is gone. Guilty.... I am so busy DOING, that I forget to BE. This is a lesson I have learned before, but one that is obviously a challenge for me. I am working harder than I have in many years, I love what I am doing, but sometimes I forget that it is alright to take time and just enjoy it. "Wherever you are, be there totally. If you find your here and now intolerable and it makes you unhappy, you have three options: remove yourself from the situation, change it, or accept it totally" Eckhart Tolle - The Power of Now Three things I have started to do since the walk. 1. Schedule my time for work and pleasure. 2. Ask for support. It is just more fun to do work or social things with people. 3. STOP, LOOK and CHOOSE. Take rainchecks or decline offers if I don't want to do it in my social life or business.
