Is Life Leaking Away
I came home yesterday from shopping to find the main well line into my home had split open and was spewing water out like a fountain in the downstairs. Of course, it just happened to be late afternoon and about five minutes after normal business hours for most of the local plumbers.
After some frantic calls I finally had the plumber headed my way so I tried to quell the water flow as best I could. During the event I realized how much the situation mirrors our living experience.
If we don’t keep our body, mind and lifestyle in proper condition we spring leaks and have mishaps. There are times when we must call on someone else, even an expert to help us repair the concern and establish normal flow again.
I realized my situation could have been much worse if I had not been aware of it or had ignored the warning of the sound of spraying water. Of course the clean-up chore was not the most pleasant experience, but it did allow me to clean-up areas that I had wanted to rearrange.
Is your life leaking away or have you paid attention to the fair warning signs and made the effort to repair the situation and establish good stable living flow?

The Magic Words
During a recent visit with a family I met through a friend’s introduction I was caught in the center of a whirlwind of activity and loud children. As we sat in their living room their kids were running wild and rampant.
With three little sets of feet constantly encircling the coffee table it was almost impossible to carry on a normal conversation. Suddenly one child offended another and there was crying all around.
Little the parents did made even the slightest dent in the temper tantrums. They counted to five, threatened and scolded yet the display of displeasure continued.
After a few minutes I whispered a few words into the ear of the oldest child and her 8 year old tears subsided quickly.
She walked over and took her younger sisters by the hand and quietly led them off to play elsewhere. Oh, I could still hear a few snubs and moans as the pain eased, but the result was wonderful after 20 minutes of chaos.
Both parents stared at me with their shocked and disbelieving eyes and asked, “What did you say?”
Magic words! When I leaned over I simply whispered in her ear that I was making HER the teacher and her sisters were now HER students. Teachers don’t cry and they don’t let their students cry.
As soon as she believed that she was in charge she stopped crying and also helped her ( students ) stop too. I had replaced her discomfort with a focus on authority and responsibility using a game format that the child could easily understand.
These are the same factors that give you self-esteem and self-control as an adult.Take a close look at yourself.
Are you a crying child or a teacher leading others by the hand?

The Dream Killer
You had grand visions and plans for your life when you were a young child and now you find yourself in this dire position. Suddenly you realize that your life may never turn out like you wanted.
Sound familiar? It should because most people go through those thoughts several times during their lifetime.
You had dreams and the routine and demands of the daily living experience seems to have sucked the very life from those dreams and any hope of ever reaching them.
The dreams and the path to them are still there waiting for you. It’s just that you have piled the debris of daily living in front of them and no longer see them as goals and ambitions. It is important that you complete daily functions, but not to the exclusion of your long term goals of fulfillment.
Strip away the useless and blocking thoughts and breathe new life into your dreams and aspirations.

The Center of Your Universe
Ever wonder how someone can break into or walk in front of a line of waiting people without any thought to being rude or insensitive. They can do this without feeling because of the way they judge value.
As humans we are constantly measuring, comparing and judging importance and value and we do so from our personal perspective.
It’s not that people want to be rude they simply judge most things they need or want as more important and urgent than anything someone else might need or desire.
In other words they are self-centered and self-focused.
Be aware that the people around you have needs and desires that they feel are just as important as yours.
The quality of your standards, values and morals is a critical part of your character as a human being.

Taking Candy From a Baby
As humans we are never more innocent or without hidden agenda than when we are infants just born into the world and without any cares other than pure comfort and hunger.
Babies are sweet because of these facts. Adults do not feel threatened or suspicious of an infant because the newborn holds no adverse potential for them. They are simply lovable little humans that are totally dependent on others for their wellbeing.
However, something happens as you grow up. You begin to represent a threat and mysterious potential of hidden thoughts and intentions.
At times other people will shy from you because they have inner doubts, insecurities and fears that cause them to fantasize about the potential harms and injustices that you might cause them.
These fears may be completely unfounded, but they exist nonetheless.
Learn to take some candy from a baby. Take on the sweetness of an innocent child by having an ongoing reputation of not holding to hidden agendas and thoughts or intentions of revenge or injustice.
Treat everyone you meet fairly and with respect and you will find that many more doors will open for you in life and that others will hold them open for you.

The Eyes Are The Secret
When you communicate with other people there is a lot more going on than just the transfer of words and meaning. One of the key ingredients is your eyes and where you focus your attention.
When you are talking to someone what do you notice? Generally people focus on if that person is listening or not. It is more important that they listen than get the topic of conversation.
If you are talking and the listener is looking at someone or something else it is distracting and almost insulting. Their eye actions are telling you that your words are not all that important and certainly not as attention grabbing as what they are looking at.
Eye contact is a vital part of human communication. If you are shifting your eyes around or away from the speaker they are getting mixed messages about your attention, interest and desire.
When speaking or listening to others always make certain that your eyes, attention, body posture and words are in unison and under self-control.
