Advanced Exploration

I am thrilled and delighted that following the completion of the 12 week 'What one person can do' conversation I now have the opportunity to go on and complete the advanced exploration with Bill Cumming with a view to facilitating the WOPCD conversation with others in the future!
I now have the opportunity to continue to explore and extrapolate my experiences out to my whole life.
Currently I am doing everything with enthusiasm, as if it were the most important thing in the world to do. It makes the housework far more enjoyable and my new energy affects all those around me too, it's a wonderful experience, why don't you give it a try? :)

My Life's Purpose

One of the assignments for the 'What One Person Can Do' course is to write down your life's purpose.
I thought this was a huge task and wrote several drafts before realising that the 'doing' part of my life really isn't that important if the 'being' part hasn't been figured out.
Once I'd realised this my purpose flowed out of me in one continual stream.
I feel it says the most I can say about what I want to 'do' with my life and what I feel my purpose on this planet is and I'd recommend writing down your life's purpose to everyone :)


My Purpose in Life
  • To come from a space of loving kindness in everything I do
  • To create safe supposrtive environments that allow others to grow and explore
  • To keep growing positively and changing when necessary
  • To not know all the answers but to be curious about finding out
  • To bring more fun and joy into the world and lead by example
  • To nourish my own spirit and take care of myself so I can be able to assist others
  • To be present in each moment and maintain my consciousness
  • To follow my dreams and live a wonderful, joyous, exciting, varied life and in doing so allow others to do the same
  • To recognise the gifts that are in each person, and believe in them, so they can find them too
  • To be authentic and promote this in others
  • To remain detached from any specific outcome and allow the universe to work, knowing everything is happening just as it should

What one person can do.....

It's been a busy few months for me so not much time for the blog. But I am back now.....

I am currently in the 4th week of an experiential program entitled 'What one person can do' it's run by Bill Cumming and i would highly recommend it to anyone.

So far it has been both stimulating and challenging and has allowed me to look into myself at a deeper level.
Assignments have been to write out my goals and note which ones I am in action about, complete a task I despise as if it's the most important thing in the world (sounds crazy but just try it...), notice patterns in my energy levels, make the conscious choice to increase my energy levels, start (and continue) a practice of self care, really look at who and what I am allowing into my life, so many interesting and insightful things!

This week my assignment is to create a magical situation. To choose two situations I am expecting this week and set the context of those situations in advance. i.e. choose the emotion to go into the situation with in order to make the ordinary extraordinary. I'm choosing running tonight (my first time in ages, I might die!) and lunch on Friday with my brother. It will be good!

I have found the idea that the only thing you have any control over in any given moment is how you choose to be, extremely liberating. If the only thing I can control is how I choose to be in a situation I can choose to go into a situation in a positive frame of mind, and whatever follows is whatever follows. Although, ultimately I cannot control how the situation turns out, it will be different depending on how I choose to be in each moment.

It truly is a fascinating course and i cannot wait to find out what I will be doing next week.....
