Play Your Bigger Game - by Molly Gordon

"Shine your life like a light."

That line from the Indigo Girls captures what I mean by playing a bigger game.

The players in what I term the "bigger game" are individuals and organizations who are ready to step out of a paradigm in which inspiration and compensation come from outside sources and into a context in which they find what they seek within. In most cases, coaching clients are already adept at achievementand growth. Now they are ready to live and work on a more complex and more meaningful level, the level of the bigger game.

The bigger game is not about putting points on the coreboard. (That would only prolong the old, small game.) The bigger game is about learning instead of proving how much you know. In this game you let go of what you know how to do and reach for what lies beyond. Crawling is nice, and today you’re gonna take on walking. For all you know, before the day is over you may fly.

The bigger game is about playing for stakes that matter. Again, it’s not the points that count, it’s the actual gain or loss that results from our play. Have I, by cultivating my unique gifts and calling, added to the love, light and grace in the world?

The coach for this bigger game is a partner dedicated to the dissolution of all that blocks you from being the person you are meant to be. It happens that in the course of that BEING process you will inevitable DO a great deal and do it well.

Little Things - by Donald Schnell

 

What a week this is going to be, right?

Opportunities, ideas, new ways of looking at things

You create your Spiritual Success today!

Spiritual Success? This is the success you achieve from following spiritual principles to happiness that lead to your worldly and spiritual success.

Your success begins with LITTLE THINGS

Almost twenty years ago, I remember wanting some chicken. So I ordered a salad and some broiled chicken. When the salad came, I added the chicken to the salad creating my first main course salad. I learned this healthy idea from Marilyn Diamond`s bestseller, Fit for Life. A thought occurred to me . . .

Most people don`t do that.

The thought of adding "high water content foods" to their meals is ridiculous to most people Or not eating until they explode

So they buy all kinds of diet books and join a health club, hire a personal trainer but still don`t drop any weight.

Before I go any further, this discussion isn`t about weight loss or exercise

. It`s about doing little things to reach your spiritual success? your enlightenment.

Clients always want to know how they can be more effective. Well, once you`re pointed in the right direction, it comes down to little tiny decisions that on their own don`t seem like they make a bit of difference. Like putting your chicken in your salad and not having any bread or carbohydrates with the meal.

Does one main course salad make such a huge difference in your health?

Of course not.

But you`ve got to keep the big picture in mind & keep it BIG!

You know the old metaphor about the tree that took a thousand swipes with the ax to be felled? The big question is which blow knocked down the tree, the 1,000th or the 999 before it? Or the many before that? Which weakened it enough?

You can`t get where you`re going without taking each and every step. It`s the little things you do each day that make a difference. That`s why I call this Enlightenment 101. It`s easy. Just take the little steps.

This is the key to Spiritual Enlightenment. What are the little things you can do today, or this week that will make your life richer? One thing is certain; you are going to arrive to the end of your week. It is up to you as to "who" will be arriving.

What steps are you taking today to see that you will be more peaceful, more loving, more compassionate --in short, more enlightened by week`s end?

Little Things.

Play a game. Smile and give every third person you meet today a BIG smile and some warm enthusiasm. Make their day. That`s one of the secrets to spiritual success. Make someone else`s day better.

Why every third person and why not everyone? Because we are playing a game. If you try this with everyone, you will soon go unconscious again. You will forget. So play the game. You are training your subconscious with a new little habit of cheer.

Remember the lesson of Las Vegas? The slot machines are carefully designed by psychologists to pay out at the rates that make you most likely to continue. Not every time. A little win here, a little win there. It builds your confidence. The process is called fixed variable reinforcement and it is the most powerful behavioral change technique known.

So play a game. Do the little things. Give a smile?every third person?stay aware?don`t forget!

Have some main course salads this week. Every fourth meal. Take whatever you are eating, your rice, vegetables, beans, chicken potatoes or fish, and cut them small, and put them into a nice green salad. You WILL lost weight, and you`ll feel more spiritually fit.

Smile BIG at every third person? even if it is a phone contact. Smile through the phone.

FEEL THE SMILE IN YOUR SOUL.

Little things.
