    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...

    Is there a change wave speading?

    I have been on the road for a couple of weeks meeting potential partners for Aliveworld and networking with other people involved in change based initiatives in the USA and UK. And I am enormously encouraged by what I am finding. In the last couple of years there has been a significant increase in projects...

    A poem about making change - Portia Nelson

    In the spirit of how we all go about realizing how to make a change in our lives, Portia Nelson's poem says it really well. As baby's we first poop and then realize it, soon we feel it coming, but still poop. In time, we feel it coming, and sometimes make it to the toilet and other times not...

    The miracle of persistence

    We live in an instant age. And the truth is, many of us don't live in it, we survive in it. A battleground of conflicting expectations, habits and desires, life for many of us only becomes more frenetic and less controlled as its pace increases. If you're like me, you don't want to be on...
