Imagine its one year from today

and we all agree that we're going to

come back for a reunion

Not maybe, absolutely. We're all going to

come back exactly the same group of us

And we're going to come back for a reunion

Only want to share the things that has

happened in our lives, during the last

12 months of our lives.

We're going to share what it is we've

dreamed up when we were here at TEDX

in October of 2016 and what's happening

in our lives right now 365 days later.

What would you love to be saying about

your life? What would you love to say

in the four areas where humans actually do

create results?

We live in a spiral universe.

In a spiral there's an ever upward pole
of becomingness.

A little blade of grass feels it as it 
presses through cement to

become more of its self today than 
yesterday

A tree presses to the edges of itself
to become more of its self
today than yesterday

And humans feel the same thing, 
we just feel a little differently

We feel it through longing
and we feel through discontent

We feel a longing for greater freedom.

We feel a discontent with
certain circumstances and situations.

And if we just keep breathing another
365 days,we will create results.

Because that's what humans do.

Now we create results in four areas.

We create results in health and well-being

You could look at your results in health
and well-being

but what would you love a year from now?

Because if you keep breathing you're going
to have results in that area.

Humans create results in relationships.
Some of them are wonderful,

some of them are deep, some of them
are supportive, some of them are not.

What would you love 
in the area of your relationships?

Would you love to bring that someone
special in your life?

Would you like to transform a relationship
you are in?

Maybe a relationship is on an auto-pilot
and you'd love to have it go deeper

Humans create results in vocation.

What we do with our time and talent.

Whether we earned income doing it or not.

Because just by our beingness we're doing
something with our time and talent.

Even if we think we've done so many
mistakes and want to go under the covers

What I create that day is "Covers over my
head day in bed"

I don't get to not create out of my
experience

And humans create results in time and
money, freedom or constraint

So if you think about next year when we
come to the reunion

What would you love to be saying?

You know in my calendar the last twelve
months here are the evidences

More freedom for me and time

More freedom for me in the economic
freedom

where I could go where I wanted to go,
do what I wanted to do

but maybe even more importantly
and I believe it is

actually give to the things that matter
to you

provide some of the things for those that
matter to you as well

Now...about fourty years ago

I got very interested in transformation

I was getting my undergraduate degree

and I cared deeply about kids

This has been a longing of mine for
quite a while to become a school teacher

And while I was getting my undergraduate
degree I wanted to study everything

I could in the field of transformation

And the purpose at that point was to help
children discover a kind of self-esteem

So no matter what their circumstances,
no matter what their situations

They could actually believe that they
could actually become the person

they wanted to be and achieve the things
they wanted to achieve

I went on a got a graduate degree in
