I picked up my copy of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's, Gift From the Sea, and noticed I bought it in 1996. Her words and ideas, originally written in 1955, are still spot on. I marked a particular passage and as I re-read it, the wisdom of it touched me again.
"The only real security is not owning or possessing, not in demanding or expecting, not in hoping, even. Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what is was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. For relationships too, must be like islands. One must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits - islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, continually visited and abondened by the tides. One must accept the secuity of the winged life, of ebb and flow, of intermittency." - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

During the holidays we are busy thinking about presents we want to give and gifts we'd like to receive. The best present in the world you can give yourself, at anytime, is the moment - the here and now. And when you are present, that is also a gift to everyone around you.
"Through self-observation, more presence comes into your life automatically. The moment you realize you are not present, you are present. Whenever you are able to observe your mind, you are no longer trapped in it." - Eckhart Tolle

When is the last time you played? The last time you had fun? Play isn't just for kids (although that's what we're told). It's never too late to release the playfulness in you.
"Play is an attitude." Alan Cohen

Have you ever noticed how often we think about things outside of ourselves? We worry and wonder about what other people think about us. We think about other people and how they are doing.
But how often do you consciously inquire as to how you are feeling at any given moment? I was re-reading Eckhart Tolle's book, Practicing the Power of Now (his new book, A New Earth is also a must read - http://www.eckharttolle.com) and one section really struck me. Here's what he said:
"Make it a habit to monitor your mental and emotional state through self-observation. 'Am I at ease this moment?' is a good question to ask yourself frequently. Or you can ask, 'What's going on inside me at this moment?' Be at least as interested in what goes on inside you as what happens outside. If you get the inside right, the outside will fall into place."
Only having to get the inside right sure seems a lot easier, and more peaceful, than spending time trying to make everything on the outside right. So why not start tending to your interior and see what happens?

Do you ever find yourself saying (or thinking) "I should ...''? Whenever you notice that you are feeling like you "should" do something, stop. This is a sign to consider whether or not it is really something you want to choose to do.
That's right, you get to choose. You don't "have to" do a lot of things. Many times we cross our own boundaries and do things we don't really want to do because we are trying to please other people. Remember, don't "should" on yourself. You'll have more peace and you'll feel good about the things you do decide to do.

The two words 'thank you' are so easy to say and yet sometimes we simply forget to use them. A heartfelt 'thank you' means so much to the person who receives it. And guess what, it also feels good to say it. Who can you thank today?
Saying 'thank you' is important in your personal life as well as your professional life. Here is a link to an article I wrote about how it can affect your business:
