    Reviewing Change projects

    It feels good to update and review my change projects. I am inspired by the heartfelt comments and support I have had from the team who are sharing these and supporting me. It is great to know that others want me to succeed and become more of who I am at heart. I have spent some time today considering...

    Life Balance - getting it right

    Getting life balance right is really difficult for me. I find that I am constantly adjusting to the pressures I create with time commitments to family, work, community involvement and then working on getting some time for myself. I constantly prioritise and reprioritise and adjust and although I manage...

    The power of the internet to support change

    Today we have a good example of an organisation seeking to take advantage of the power of the internet to support people wanting change in their lives. Agape International Spiritual Center in Los Angeles, CA, opened their AUM Learning Channel here in Aliveworld with the publication of their first Guide...

    Change is the breath of life

    Something today reminded me of the words from a song that went more or less like this: "I accept myself, just the way I am, there's nothing I need to change." Remembering this set me to pondering. I think it's important to accept that I am what I am, rather than beat myself up for not...

    Is change possible? With hope, yes.

    OK, so I can get quite passionate about change being both a necessity and an obligation. The obvious next question is can I do it? I recall a dinner party conversation in London over 20 years ago with a medic who argued that change was impossible -- people can't change, people don't change. Depressing...

    Is change an opportunity or an obligation?

    I've been listening to Seth Godin's latest book Tribes which is very focused on the fact that change is happening all over the place and happening fast. The book is a call to leadership, a call for modern day heretics to step up and lead tribes through the process of change. One thing that struck...

    Is change a luxury or a necessity?

    Far more energy goes into maintaining the status quo than in trying to bring about change. This is part of what worries me about the election of Obama in the USA -- his ticket may have been the need for change, but he too will have to battle against the forces all around him intent on maintaining things...

    What to consider for making a resolution.

    I have thought about all the general things, weight, wealth, health, and generosity. But although becoming fitter is a real goal with much of these in mind I have also realised that I really want to get more connected spiritually. To feel that wonderful acceptance of unconditional love more in my daily...

    Mumbai, Men, and Violence: What Can We Learn, How Should We Respond?

    As I write this at 3:00 PM on Thanksgiving Day, November 27, 2008, I am deeply saddened by the violence and death in Mumbai, India. News reports indicate that at least 101 people have been killed and more than 250 have been wounded. As many as 30 people may still be in danger as hostages. Although it...
