    Do This And You Will Succeed
    During the past 10 years I have had the good fortune to coach a number of good clients. About 17 percent of the individuals who have entrusted themselves to me have been Chief Executives or Main Board Directors of corporations with turnovers counted in the hundreds of millions.Coaching is like most other businesses in that the coach needs to keep learning and progressing in order to stay up with the game. One of the most valuable sources of knowledge is one’s clients.This is especially true when you are coaching people who are already very successful. You notice what they do and how they think and adopt some of their best traits into your coaching toolkit.There is one really noticeable difference between highly successful executives and those I would term “ordinary managers.” They a
    His home is now in the eternal. His home is in the soul. He has to go to the other shore. This is the shore that the Celts called Tir na Nog. This is the place of true belonging. It is the place of heroes. It is the place that Christ called heaven. It is the shore that Buddha called nirvana.

    This shore does not live beyond the death of the body. It lives beyond the death of “me” and “mine.” It lies in the journey to the edge where you surrender all that you hold onto as being precious little me.

    This journey of the soul is the only path worth taking. It is the path less travelled and it goes through the dark wood of non-acceptance.

    The question for each of is, Am I prepared to quest?

    The quest asks you to answer the real question, Who am I? On the hero’s journey all paths lead to the centre. There you will find the beauty of no thing because you become the flow of everything. When you let go and surrender to the Beloved all that you ever wanted arrives because there is no longer any sense of wanting. What to want when you know you are it all.

    You come to be in Tir Na Nog. You come to the land of the ever young where there is only the eternal now and you need never be afraid of anything ever again. You have c

    Annual Report Themes – Ideas for Non-profit Annual Reports
    Many nonprofits organize their annual reports to reflect the set up of the organization. If three different programs were implemented last year, your annual report would need to include three sections describing those programs. Though that is one of the easiest ways to structure an annual report, it's not one of the most compelling methods of telling your story.Developing a theme for the year is a better way to organize an annual report. The theme must flow throughout the document and it can also appear as the title on the report's cover.Here are three themes that any nonprofit could adapt for its annual report:Results that Speak for Themselves. Having people who greatly benefit from your work talk about your accomplishments is much more effective than speaking about your acc
    “Look at every path closely and deliberately. Try it as many times as you think necessary. Then ask yourself, and yourself alone the question, "Does this path have a heart?" If it does, the path is good. If it doesn't, it is of no use. ~ Carlos Castaneda,

    In Corrogue I am building paths out on this acre of diamonds.

    These paths come from all directions and form all sorts of shapes. There are diamond shapes, and square shapes. There are triangles pointing east and west. At some future time I will build octagons. Lastly I will embrace the land with circles and crosses.

    All these shapes serve to remind me of the power of symbols and the way in which a symbol can transform “my life” into the real life. My favourite symbol at this point in my life is the Celtic cross. For me it represents the unity of the masculine and feminine. It is a symbol of time merging with the timeless.

    The Celtic cross abounds in Ireland.

    There is hardly a day when travelling the lanes around this cottage when my eyes do not feast upon its beauty. Incorporated into the body of this cross is the endless weave. These are two strands that are woven together without beginning or end. This reminds me of how life and death are not separate just as time and the timeless are never separate; just as the Beloved and I are never separate.

    I think that the cross on its own is such a lonely symbol. It is all straight lines with beginnings and endings. It is a very masculine symbol. When you add the circle to the cross it becomes complete. The circle is feminine. It is empty and full at the same time. It has no beginning and no end. It represents eternity.

    This week I have been watching the movie trilogy of The Lord of the Rings.

    At the centre of this movie is the circle in the form of a golden ring. Only this circle as represented by the ring is not the circle of love but the circle of power held within time. It is the symbol of a dark power. As a symbol the movie represents the journey of the ego that has lost contact with the soul.

    To wear the ring of power gives you invisibility.

    In essence, you are no longer seen. In essence, you can no longer feel your soul life. On placing the ring of power on your finger you enter an invisible world. This world is the separation from the beauty of love. You enter the world where all is ‘me’ and ‘mine.’

    You enter the world of possession. You become possessed with the power that you can do whatever you like. You leave the real life and enter the world of belief. You enter the belief that you are separate from love.

    Lord of the Rings is the story of the soul journey. It is the story of the forces that move within all of us. It is the story of the hero’s journey. This is the quest to come to a place of timelessness within this place of time and space in which we all live and have our being.

    You can have the ring of power but then you fall out of the circle of love.

    This journey to return the ring of power to its original source is a moment to moment journey. It is a journey into the dark places of the heart and the mind. Each of these dark places can become an ally when you offer them the light of acceptance rather than the harshness of judgement.

    At the end of the journey all that you hold ‘precious’ has to be let go.

    At the end of the journey you stand on the edge of the chasm of fire. All that you think is ‘mine’ has to be surrendered. All that you hold onto as belonging to someone separate from love has to be thrown into the fire.

    On the edge you will fight.

    The ego will fight you and will seek to cling to the power it feels rightfully belongs to it alone. It is afraid. It fears that without what is ‘precious’ to it there will be nothing left.

    In the movie, Frodo’s hobbit companion Sam acts as his conscience. They come from middle earth to save the world. They have come from the heart and it is Sam who in the final moment of decision asks Frodo to “Let go the ring.”

    We encircle our lives with the illusion of the ego.

    We encircle our lives with the idea that we are moral and that life has a beginning and an end. We encircle our lives with the limitation of time and space and rarely if ever come to know the beauty beyond limitation.

    The fight that takes place in the movie Lord of the Rings is the fight that takes place in each of us. We all carry the ring of power. We all carry the inner critic Golem who would kill to keep what is “my precious.”

    When you take the journey of the hero you cannot go back. You have let go the burden of the precious ego and you are left empty. You have come to the centre. After this letting go you cannot live in the world in the same way. It no longer holds the attraction it once did

    You are no longer seduced by the illusion of the precious “me” and “mine.” The journey continues but it is not the journey of time and space alone.

    At the end of the movie Frodo cannot go back home. His home is now in the eternal. His home is in the soul. He has to go to the other shore. This is the shore that the Celts called Tir na Nog. This is the place of true belonging. It is the place of heroes. It is the place that Christ called heaven. It is the shore that Buddha called nirvana.

    Corporate Gifts That Make An Impression
    There are many reasons for giving corporate gifts, and the gifts that you choose should reflect the reason that you’re giving the gift and to whom you are giving it. You may choose to give gifts to associates or employees, or send them out as part of a marketing campaign. You may choose from a variety of corporate gifts to distribute to employees as incentives and rewards, or hand out take-away gifts at a convention or marketing show. No matter what your reason for picking out gifts, though, it’s important to choose corporate gifts that make a lasting impression. Follow these rules to choose gifts that will be remembered.1. Choose the best quality. A promotional item doesn’t have to be a tacky, poorly made gimmick item. The better the quality of the gift, the more highly it reflects on your busin

    SEO Best Practice: Befriend the Directories
    Why Directories Are ImportantDirectories should play a major role in your SEO efforts, well, at least the big and important ones, for the following reasons: - Listings within major directories provide "context" to search engines. For example, if your web site is listed in the Open Directory Project under the category Pets -> Weird Pets -> Blue Cats, search engines will assume your web site has something to do with blue cats. Your web site and pages will be indexed faster and might have a better ranking in search results for specific terms (in this case, "blue cats"). - Major directories (such as Yahoo! Directory, ODP, Jayde etc.) have high page ranks and as long as you obtain a non-reciprocal listing from them, paid or unpaid, your page rank will benefit greatly. - Major dir

    How To Achieve Success Through Accountability
    Run a Google search on “accountability” and you get nearly 50 million hits. Glancing at the sites you find references to government accountability, corporate accountability, and accountability for those struggling with various types of addictions. You have to dig pretty deep to find a link to the kind of accountability that I believe is essential to success – personal accountability to action.Success is rarely accidental. Most individuals who succeed have created specific goals and worked hard to achieve them. They have also done one more thing – they have established meaningful relationships that will hold them accountable for the steps necessary to achieve those goals.In his book entitled Goals!, Brian Tracy emphasizes the importance of associating with the kind of people who inspire
