Coaching and Friendships make a difference
The following is a reading that my yoga teacher shares with us occasionally. It reminds me of the power of coaching, friendships and relationships we need while we explore life. Enjoy and share!
People come into your life for a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually.
They may seem like a Godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you never knew. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a Season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life. Whether you were a Reason, a Season or a Lifetime.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. (forwarded from Neil Wood’s Wisdom file)

My contribution to better attitudes
This month has been Very busy with seminars, workshops and presentations - so I apologize for such a long delay since my last blog on this site. I’ve hosted workshops on How to set Goals and my fourth presentation on How to Stay Energized and Positive Daily. The feedback has been excellent! I will do All I can to get people back on track after such a challenging year.
On “the road” I’ve spoken in Scottsdale, Quincy, Weymouth and Boston. I share ideas on how to work smarter, concepts from the book SO WHAT and success stories from other people who are “making it happen.”

Attitude by Charles Swindoll
ATTITUDE
“The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company…a church…a home. __________________
The remarkable thing is we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past…we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude…
____________________
I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you…we are in charge of our Attitudes.”
-Charles Swindoll-
Wishing you many Great moments in life!

Goals for 2010
This is one of my favorite times of the year. I enjoy most of this week reflecting on my personal and professional highlights this year. There have been quite a few “positives” and a few challenges as well. Overall, it’s been a great year to test my own attitude and “tough-mindedness” and as you can see ~ I survived! (although I do feel like I’ve aged 5 years in the last twelve months)
Some people talk about new year “resolutions” and changes you want to make. My suggestion to you is to keep your list to a few major focuses and be specific. Personally, I prefer to set Goals instead of resolutions. If you need more details about setting SMART goals, visit my Blog from Optimist Island http://optimistisland.blogspot.com
