This Awareness suggests that entities can build up "grace credits" in their cosmic bank account through positive actions, analogous to saving money. However, they sometimes spend lifetimes accruing grace only to later withdraw from their account through negative actions, appearing successful while their grace runs out. The questioner's past struggles reflected karmic debts, but recent positive actions have repaid this and begun building modest savings. Wise investment of this grace in cooperative relationships and service can multiply spiritual prosperity for oneself and others.

In January of this year (2017) I read Brené Brown’s last book and while reading ‘Rising Strong’ it struck me that it partly describes the Creative Interchange Process. The subtitle of the Dutch translation of her book: “the Wisdom of Falling and Standing Up” indicates that this book mainly covers the left side of my Crucial Dialogue Model (Crucial dialogues being one of the many applications of Creative Interchange).
Inspired by Brené Brown’s book I wrote five columns covering the complete ‘Rising Strong’ Process. First in Dutch and due to a comment of Mitch Kotula I started to translate them into (‘my kind of’) English. The last two columns describe the right part of the Crucial Dialogue Model, which is less covered in ‘Rising Strong’.
Those five columns, that where originally published on LinkedIn are now presented on Slide ‘to whom it concerns’ as a paper: The ‘Rising Strong’ Process.

Reboot Podcast #14 - Shadow and Leadership - with Parker Palmer and Jerry Col...rebootio
This document discusses the concept of shadow in leadership. Parker Palmer defines shadow as the unconscious parts of ourselves that we are not aware of but have power over us. Rather than trying to get rid of the shadow, the goal should be bringing it into consciousness so it no longer has unconscious power. Leaders need to examine their inner selves and acknowledge their shadows as well as lights to achieve wholeness. Failing to confront one's shadow risks allowing it to negatively shape one's leadership and organization. The reward of this inner work is feeling more whole and at home with oneself.

Like so many entrepreneurs, he struggled with the challenges of being an effective leader, and faced the pain of fundraising or not meeting payroll. But Ben’s end goal was a bit different. He’ a polar explorer. Between October 2013 and February 2014, he and his companion Tarka broke the record for the longest ever polar journey on foot. On their path to the South Pole, they faced temps of -50F and wind chills near -70F all while they covered nearly seventy marathons back-to-back on less than four hours of sleep a night.
This record breaking journey was nearly ten years in the making for Ben, and truly was an amazing accomplishment, but despite all that he found the inner journey that followed even more challenging than what he faced out on the ice. In this conversation, Ben and Jerry discuss his journey on and off the ice.

And perhaps the better question--how can owning my own anxiety in these areas help me step more fully into my authentic self and even increase my capacity for happiness?
We are honored to welcome one of our key teachers at Reboot, Sharon Salzberg, to the podcast.

How to discover yourself ! Give yourself some alone time, seek out a passion, and find a mentor. Change your perspective and let go of negative thoughts
The document discusses the power of gratitude and how practicing gratitude can positively impact one's life. It notes that as children, we often lacked appreciation and wanted things simply because we saw them, but we must be taught gratitude. While many lessons of gratitude become clear as adults, gratitude is often lacking. The document encourages taking time daily to consciously feel gratitude for what one has in order to feel freedom and joy. Practicing sincere gratitude can help abolish greed and problems in the world stemming from it like wars and corruption.
The document discusses the importance of being present in the moment. It notes that people often spend much of their time dwelling on past memories or future worries rather than being fully engaged in the present. Living too much in the past or future can create unnecessary stress and prevent one from addressing current problems. Some tips for being in the moment include meditation, catching oneself when thoughts drift to the past or future, and setting realistic expectations to avoid negative emotions when realities differ from expectations. Actors are given as an example of professionals who must be completely present in each moment to maintain realism and connect with audiences.
The document provides guidance on cultivating a positive mindset and achieving abundance. It advises focusing on what you want rather than what you don't want, being grateful for what you have, and acting with confidence that you have the resources to succeed. Additionally, it suggests letting go of attachments and embracing opportunities rather than scarcity. Overall, the document encourages taking responsibility for your thoughts and intentions, as they shape your reality.
The document discusses a person reflecting on their life journey from school through career and family. They realize they have been living in a "fog" striving for meaningless goals. Upon reflection, they decide to make some changes to improve their life, such as taking it easy, spending more time with friends, traveling more, and focusing on happiness rather than wealth or career success. They hope these changes will allow them to have a wonderful time and that is what really matters.
The document provides guidance on maintaining inner peace and composure when facing difficulties or reacting to others. It suggests observing thoughts without judgment, living in the present moment, accepting external situations as temporary without internalizing them, and finding one's true self beyond mental identities and roles.
When you are a matured, you will get to know the importance of money. It’s true that “money can’t buy happiness”, it at least provides some security. Being poor is never something that one strives to attain. Many people who become extremely wealthy often grow up in poor households, which become stronger their resolve to never again remember the experience.
Dear Reader,
I humbly present to you a collection of my insights into experiences that are by and large common to most of us. I have tried to put them down in a manner that it reaches out & the reader can connect with it.
It is not something that already doesn’t exist around us. It’s just that, we often don’t even realize what already exists around us. It is very similar to an incident which I remember vividly. I had taken my two year old daughter on a flight. We boarded the aircraft through an aerobridge. Once on board she kept on wanting to get onto an “airplane” similar to the one she was able to see through the window. I could not convince her that she was on one already.
Essentially this collection is about a journey that all of us are already undertaking. It’s just that, we are so engrossed in making the journey that, we don’t care to look outside the window to see what we are missing. It’s a snapshot of all the little things that are around us which we take so much for granted that, we have become oblivious of their very existence.
I fondly call it “SAU GRAM (100 gm) ZINDAGI”.
The document outlines 17 habits for living a happy life:
1. Choose happiness daily and focus on what you want rather than what you don't want.
2. Be grateful for what you have like friends, family, food and shelter.
3. Set big written goals and ask yourself useful questions to stay focused on positivity.
4. Surround yourself with uplifting people and create an environment that supports happiness.
5. Do things even when you don't feel like it, be present in the moment, and help make others happy.
The new Psychology of Success.
Self-discipline is a crucial life skill that enables you to succeed in anything you choose to do. Again, this doesn't necessarily have to do with money. These can involve your relationships. This can also involve your health. When you are self-disciplined, you learn how to keep your focus trained on your priorities. You decide on your goals and you prioritize.

Frank Myers Auto Maxx Uses Halloween Spirit To Attract Winston Salem Car Buye...Frank Myers Auto Maxx
A car dealer in North Carolina created buzz around his store by posting cryptic messages on social media about finding a "Trunk Monster" in a used car. He described finding a strange object in the trunk that turned out to be a yellow blob-like figure. Visitors could come to the store over Halloween weekend to see it. The dealer's stunt was inspired by Orson Welles' 1938 radio broadcast of "War of the Worlds" and successfully engaged consumers through social media marketing.
This 2002 Ford Focus Wagon has 123,120 miles. It has an automatic transmission and red exterior color.
