Dear Friends,
May each day bring a smile
May good spirit last a long while
May you soar like an eagle
In peaceful vastness like a seagull
May you harness your soul’s richness
Regain your desired fitness
Escape the wavering throws
Of the indecisive “I don’t knows”
May you capture your might
Take hold of your forces
Set forth on a plight
Or roam free like wild horses
May what ever you choose
Put a bounce in your step
May it spring you into action
Harvesting endless satisfaction.
Happy New Year Everyone!

No doubt you will agree, some we can do without, however magically in some way and especially if we look for it, the true spirit of the season is captured in the end. How would you define the true spirit of the season? How will you make it happen?

Ben is a successful executive who enjoys music and singing. He is also a family man with a wife and three children who are all musical in some way. Together, Ben, his wife and children have accomplished many endeavors over the years individually and as a family unit – endeavors they are very proud of.
Some time ago, Ben went in to work and was told that it was his last day.
At first he was stunned. His wife shed some tears. Later, after the initial blow to the family and the questions that swirled about, they did what many in similar positions must do – they embarked on a new path.
Embarking on a new path meant that Ben had to do some soul searching. That meant answering a lot of questions about who he was, who he is and who he wanted to be as he moved forward in his life and specifically career. He questioned what choices he wanted to make now that he had been put in a position he did not choose to be in.
It has been a good while since this happened to Ben and his family. You might be surprised by the revelations Ben has had since that fateful day.
He decided to probe his thought processes during the years just prior to being ‘let go’ and as he put it, “be brutally honest with myself”. He was surprised to find that he was subconsciously preparing to move in a new direction months before he left.
Over the years he recalled, his passion for music and singing had not subsided. In fact it continued to flourish. In his spare time he spent hours rehearsing for fundraising events at which he performed and thoroughly enjoyed.
He realized that as much as he was seriously engaged, dedicated and productive in his executive career, part of him and his thought process would be on music and performing. In fact, over the years he had been slowly purchasing expensive audio/electronic equipment and often times by chance, began connecting more and more with people who were involved in the music industry.
-A question you might ask is – was he subconsciously preparing for a new beginning and a somewhat new direction?
-What did he truly want?
-What is Ben doing now?
Today Ben is doing all the things he loves. He is working at a job that engages his specific expertise in business and at the same time lends him the space and time to nourish and reap the rewards of a passion that wouldn’t let go.
When asked, “What do you think the future holds?” the response is, “It looks promising!”
