Jan 11 2012: Nic, I love your work in the world. I absolutely believe that we can become lastingly happier as individuals - and within highly effective organizations as well. Happiness (and love) create an experience of being open and moving forward. Fear and other emotions that do not fully embrace happiness create an experience of contraction and holding back. I see this every day in my coaching practice with people. When people remove the blocks within themselves and they come alive, they walk through life with full strides. They become exponentially more effective in their lives in every way.
Jan 11 2012: Recipes for happiness? We all know the things that can bring us happiness in a fleeting moment - which has great value.... For lasting happiness however, there is no short-cut to doing the work on ourselves. My experience in finding lasting happiness is layered with many ideas but a start is: 1) The pursuit of finding and living one's mission on earth. Going after it with the same intensity as if you were thirsty for water in a desert. 2) Choosing self-acceptance love and compassion in every moment possible. 3) Working every day to remove the blocks that make us feel stuck, numb, or shut down. 4) Connection to others, hugs, feeling loved, playing. 5) Acceptance that pain is always going to be a part of our existence - (when a loved one dies, the longing to be loved etc.) - And removing resistance to that reality.
There is so much more to say!
