Three Ways of Patience

Have attitude like Gandhi. Live your dream like MLK. Think with your senses. Feel with your mind.  

Sensing what you value is how to think different. It's good judgment.

"The hope of a secure and livable world lies with the disciplined non-conformists who are dedicated to Justice, Peace and Brotherhood" ~ Martin Luther King Jr. 

Patience is never an option. 

It's always a reality check.

The opposite of patience is frustration. Frustration is a rut. Being impatient is being in a rut. 

The impact on life is just like procrastination. Both are ways of being out of step with good timing and good luck. 

Everybody needs good luck.

Patience is the only way to live your dream.

Three Ways of Patience

With Yourself

• Patience with yourself is personal loyalty.  It's respect - the foundation of every worthwhile relationship.
• Being impatient with yourself is always self-defeating. 
• Worse, when you are not patient with yourself, social relationships don’t last. 
• People who are impatient with themselves make narrow-minded choices in social situations that  appear to be selfish or arrogant, and alienate others. That's why 'things' don't work out.
• Find patience for your heart and mind. If you don't give it to yourself, nobody will.

With Timing

• Patience with timing is a sign of confidence in choices and faith in goals. Sure, it’s a disappointment and a drag to not have an answer, a meeting or a trip when you want it. Reality is: we all march to our own beat and we're not always in step with others. Sometimes this means waiting.
• The surprise of extra time gives you space to prepare the response for an unwanted answer. Time always catches up with us.
• Extra time means you can have unexpected insights to fine-tune content for the meeting. 
• Postponing a trip puts you somewhere else you need to be. 
• If you are perfect, LOL, then the time of ‘waiting’ will reveal an opportunity or responsibility you need to address or reposition before your answer, meeting or trip. 
• When you are patient with delays, you will find something new that helps you succeed. Time brings opportunity.

With others

• Patience with others has its priorities. These include dignity, self-respect and compassion. People who do this well are our heroes, like Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi. These patient fighters used patience as personal power. So can you.
•  This is not about what you do; it's about how you do it.
•  Patience with others means acknowledging differences. No and yes are equally important for staying in tune with patience and your goals.
• It is not ‘turning the other cheek” while someone hits you. You can be angry and be dignified.
• If someone pushes your buttons and is disrespectful, sometimes it's best to just say, good-bye. The only person you can change is yourself. Stand tall, talk softly and use eye contact to make your point. 

'Life is like an elevator. On your way up, sometimes you have to stop and let some people off.' ~ anon 

Patience is an intuitive reality check. Experience reality. Be a sensual thinker.

Compassion and Relationship

Compassion is intuitive connection that nourishes relationships the way oxygen fuels fire. 

Sensual thinking is personal power that enhances natural connections.

In romantic relationships, compassion keeps it ‘hot' by tuning-in to what you sense. Compassion feels like respect. It's the unspoken, constant connection in successful relationships. Every good relationship is fueled by attitudes of enthusiasm, passion, curiosity and mutual purpose.

Compassion can be as simple as listening when someone speaks. It is thinking with your senses. When you sense effort and acknowledge it, the relationship opens. When you sense greed or resentment, you protect yourself by closing or limiting the connection.

Relationships and compassion are both collaborative. For success, we don't have to be the same; we just have to work together. Power connections are transparent, clear, kind and focused. Good relationships share passion and values.  

Intuitive global values reveal truths and lies that words cover. These sensual, transparent screens are filters for making smart connections and protecting yourself. To have relationships you value, use intuitive attitudes to sensually sync with compassion.

Most connections keep us happy. Finding connections is a combination of luck and hard work. Keeping them depends on sensual thinking.

Stay in sync with self-respect by checking in with your heart, mind and common sense before talking. Connect with your inner power to stay in-tune with purpose. Use your senses to sync with the moment, and filter with intuitive values to connect with the relationship you deserve. 

Compassion is a connection in the moment. Sometimes it's heartfelt eye contact.

Making good connections is not about how smart you are. It's about being receptive to what you sense. Fine-tune your senses and your timing by being true to yourself. Learn to recognize your attitudes of patience, dignity and curiosity. 

Connect with character. Learn to use your power.

When you think with your senses you notice issues of daily living slide into the groove of your highest potential. Tune-in to compassion with intuitive filters of curiosity, dignity, patience and courage, for direct access to connections that bring inspiration and unexpected solutions for successful relationships.

Hit With Attitude

Do you ever get hit with attitude? 

 Attitude is the way you text your personality.   

It is shorthand communication for your personal energy.

Attitudes create boundaries that are safety zones, seduction zones or war zones. Because we are physical beings, everything we sense is physical. We get hit with attitude all the time. 

We sense attitude in every conversation. 
Instead of talking about it, attitude reveals exactly what’s going on. We give and receive it automatically. Energy comes as attitude through our eyes, our tone and body language. Without words, we make a statement. 

Everyone uses attitude. 

Without exception, it's how we communicate exactly who we are and what we feel. It can be person, obnoxious, petty or endearing. Attitudes are not always beautiful but they are genuine. Importantly, when we get hit with attitude, we know where we stand.

While it’s easy to notice what's going on physically with your 5 senses, in fact, clearest communication is intuitive. It’s intuitive to feel with our minds. The intuitive sense connects with the survival instinct. Through the 6th sense we ‘get’ what's happening as attitude or notice a ‘head’s up’.

Often, attitude reveals someone is lying or they don’t respect your ideas.  Other times, attitude reveals kindness, determination or suspicion. Communicating with attitude is sensual syncing. 

Words have limits. 

That's why we have love songs and dinners by candlelight. It's also why we may be misunderstood, not clear about what we're told or not connecting the way we want. Our senses are our points of clarity. Notice what you notice.

The next time you need to be understood, talk less and sense more. Respond to what matters deeply by maintaining an attitude of curiosity to keep an open mind and dignity to maintain self-respect. Peoplel 'get' your attitude. 

Intuitive values are strategies that clarity attitudes and protect what matters. Intuitive attitudes like courage, dignity and curiousity equally understood and recognized across every culture and age. When there is injustice, hit it with an attitude of self-respect, and honorable perspective. Your energy speaks.

Sensing is a language of attitude that spans the globe like the Internet. Sensual thinking is clarity about shared values that is the foundation for universal communication. It's a rewarding attitude. Use it to work together to bring new solutions to old problems in your life and our world.

Find options.

Make history. Use change to make life better. Think outside the box because there is no box.

Turn dead ends into revolving doors.

Using your senses is the difference between walking into a bakery with a stuffed nose or entering because you smell something good. Sensual thinking puts you in ‘the zone.’ Access is 24/7. Feel the edge. Options = opportunity.

Recognize options by thinking with your senses. Choose to notice what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell and to discover a refreshed feeling of presence. Simple sensual connections connect with your heart. That's why what you sense is the link that lifts your spirit. A new option can be a game changer.

When jammed or bored, fine-tune your senses to discover what’s missing. 

Lucky breaks and setbacks both provide new perspectives. Dead ends are signals to try something new. If you don’t know what to do at a dead end, then wait. Use patience like a power tool - to check out what you sense. A new option will appear. It’s all part of change. As you think with your senses and feel with your mind, timing gets better. 

Taking advantage of new options isn't always simple. Choosing new options for old problems is like changing a haircut that’s out of style. It’s worth the effort and you feel great. 

Sometimes a new option is uncomfortable. Anger and old scars are roadblocks built by fear. Be bold. Let go of what doesn’t move you forward. You can't change the past but you can learn from it. President John F. Kennedy said, “Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.”  That works for me.

Learning from the past means you don’t have to repeat it.The person in control of your future is you. The future is ours to create. The first rule of intuitive thinking is to protect yourself. Let your inner light shine.  Intuition is the foundation of your survival instinct.

“Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future.” ~ Paul Boe

Think sensually to find original answers to your questions. There are new solutions and opportunities everywhere. Share ideas. Take control by staying responsible for your choices.

Sensual thinking is a power tool for change. Thinking with your senses defies old options, and feeling with your mind clarifies how things fit together. Tune into the future with a solid foundation of intuitive attitudes like courage, dignity, curiosity or patience to expose your unlimited potential. You will love the journey.

We need to work together to be the best we can be. Use today to tune-in, love, and live your dream. If it doesn’t happen one way, find a new option. Be dignified. Be passionate. Never give up.

Taking Back The Future

Our responsibility is to heal our planet and ourselves.

Every person and every form of Life matters. We are taking back the future.

We breathe the same air and drink same water. That makes us globally one. As we work together to heal our planet, we heal ourselves. Nature’s lessons and our future, is about balance.  

We need to think differently.  The way  is to collaborate and communicate with mutual respect and shared values. Greed and suffering throw us and our planet out of balance . It takes courage, dignity, tenacity and curiosity  to bring change.  

Gratitude for our planet and all the life it sustains is a good beginning. Intuitive values we share like dignity and courage form a collective moral force bringing us balance we need. 

Sensual thinking is the simplicity of what we sense, the honesty of what we feel and the anchor of what we know from experience. 

• Our senses keeps us aware of choices. 
• Intuition guides us to recognize the bigger perspective and experience long-term satisfaction. 
  
• Balancing innovation with experience keeps us in the groove of change.

Change is  normal. Staying in step with change is done by staying clear about what does not change. Our ability to feel what is right does not change. In a crisis, everyone intuitively feels courage, dignity, patience, curiosity, determination, prudence, foresight, tenacity, grace and self-control in order to do what is right. When we do what's right, we are never alone.

With over 300,000 people showing courage and tenacity by attending the Climate Change march this weekend in NYC, we are past barriers of invisibility. Around the world there are cries to heal our planet. We can be braver. We are evolving with an attitude of unity for our planet. Our lifeline is intuitive.  Our shared sense of right and wrong is transparent communication.  

Sensing justice and truth crosses all age and cultural boundaries. Courage and curiosity are our flexible, cohesive foundation for working together for the greater good. We already think with our senses to know what's present and feel with our minds to know what's right. 

Working together we are taking back the future.

Compassion and Family

 

Compassion. We all need it.

Compassion is a kind of heart powered magic that we each have inside. It keeps us strong.

To have a healthy world and healthy family,  notice hunger - your own and that of others. Everywhere there is hunger for compassion, humor and faith. We are a global family.

People in our family are hungry for food, basic education and personal freedom.

How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these. ~George Washington Carver 

Compassion makes us champions of the world. As I write this, I'm nibbling on delicious chocolate from Alter Eco. This company is founded on the concept of compassion through global family that includes the family of rainforests and families of farmers they work with. This is all of us.

Global warming reminds of when we get a fever. If we ignore it, and it just gets worse, it means we're sick. It's possible that our planet is not just warming, it's potentially dying. We are its family. To survive, we have to be compassionate. There are many ways to work together to heal the planet. Choose one and participate. You will feel the connection in your heart. You might get a dose of amazement.

Compassion teaches us how to thrive with change. Be a champion of our world.

Hear the truth.

Take A Walk On The Wild Side

I purchased a JBL bluetooth speaker. The packaging said: Hear The Truth. It sounds easy. The catch 22 is, we have to listen with our mind, heart and ears to hear it. We have to be bold.

The truth is powerful, whether we acknowledge it or not. It's not always pleasant, but it always opens doors to answers. Don't bury your head in the sand.

Truth is clear to see, hear, taste, touch and smell. As you think with your senses, stress loses its power and it's easier to be bold.  Our senses hold no emotional charge. They tell it like it is. 

 Tuning-in to the truth puts us in the fast lane of living. Feeling the truth is taking a walk on the wild side of reality. It's being brave enough to live fully, knowing mystery and passion are part of the adventure. It's living with no fear.

Truth is part innocence and part passion. Passion is innocence that is tattooed to your soul. Innocence is a private, inner free zone that connects with our dreams. Every person is born with a dream. Stay in touch with yours. It's determination to get the truth heard. 

The simplicity of what we sense, the honesty of what we feel, and the anchor of what we know from experience, keeps us vibrant. Staying 'real' keeps us in sync with change in our lives. It's having the edge.

 The syllabus of Living is all about the truth. Every time has its own challenges; just like every generation has its own language for saying what's real. We stay "young", "hip", "cool", "chill", 'synced', etc. when we hear truth.  Everyone can access what's true. Ignoring it doesn't make it go away. It makes us ostriches.

Between what we sense and what we know, is a bridge of connections. The foundation of every bridge that leads to happiness is truth.   

Hear the truth. 
Take a Walk On The Wild side with Lou Reed and have fun!

I purchased some plastic keys for a toddler that came with a tiny book of innocent and empowering truth from children. Listen for it:

• "You know what? Not all dreams come true. But that's okay because you can always make new dreams." Katie, 4yrs and the book says, B. confident. 
• Children remind us to be happy for no reason.
• "Hey, look! All I need are some rose tops and I'll have roses!" Ryan, 5yrs after finding a bunch of rose stems on the ground, and the book says, B. optimistic.
• Children are always industrious.
• Son: "Do you get younger as I get older?"  Mom: "No, we both just get older." Son:" Hmmm.. Well, then where was I before I was here?" Sebastian, 2yrs and the book says B. curious.
• Never give up.
