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
