Why?......Who knows?

Tonight on the Millionaire Mastermind Roundtable Conference Call I really spoke from the heart on the question "Why?"

In the past week 1/2 I have been a part of something that I really didn't comprehend at the time. Some friends in AZ just recently lost their niece, Hanna-age 7, in a car accident. She was a girl beyond her years and created such an amazing story that will just touch your heart.

Hanna's Dream

Then while visiting my friends in AZ I receive news from a dear friend back home that her son, Willem-age 7, just passed away from Asthma.

Again I found myself asking the question...Why? Why these young children? Why so close together?

And while speaking with Willem's mom she said something that really made sense to me. I had a ah-ha moment!

She said something along the lines of "The light children are being called back up." Their work here on earth is done and we deserve to keep their passions and dreams alive. There is a shift going on in the world and what we were to learn from these two children we have learned. And I can tell you it has been some wonderful things.

Then a day later I learned that my Nephew had come into this world! Today I had the opportunity to see him for the first time and it was so amazing! A true miracle!

Again the question...Why?

Why all within a few days of each other? What is the universe trying to tell me? Show me? Speak to me? I know that everything happens for a reason and those answers are still coming to me.

Perhaps it is to connect with you, here, now. To touch your life. To make a difference. To spark your passion and help you realize your "Compelling Why". Why are you here? What is your passion? Your Purpose? Your Why?

Do you feel you don't know what it is?

That's okay.

Perhaps these few questions will assist you.

-What excites you?

-What are the loves of your life?

-What things are deeply important to you?

-When you talk about them do you light up? Do you get emotional?

Great Now Write Them Down!

Simply write it on a 3x5 index card and carry it with you in your purse or wallet. That way when the little things happen that make you upset, or get you down you can refer back to your card and instantly be reminded of what your purpose or your compelling why is.

My last story that I connected with while in AZ comes from a women who lost her husband at a young age. He left behind her and their 3 young children. For the past 20 years, she also asked herself "Why, Why me, Why now, Why my family?" It wasn't until recently that she realized the answer to that why.

Her story, the people her husband touched-just like Hanna and Willem, the prompting she listened to and others didn't, has changed the lives of 100's of 1000's of people. Because of her loss, 1000's of people's lives have been touch for the better and continue to be touched. Without that event who knows if the movement that was created would have occurred.

As she proceeded to tell us her story and her realization, I too realized a little more of why the events occurred as they did for me.

I now know that Hanna & Willem's stories will continue to touch 1000's of lives for the better and the birth of my nephew comes to show me that life is always created, new stories are being written, and passions and purposes are being realized each and every day.

My wish for you is to take the time to appreciate the people in your world.

Smile at a stranger.

Shake the hand of the men and women who serve this country.

Even the small things make a difference.

Wishing you all a life of purpose and passion.

Listening From The Heart

On last night's Millionaire Mastermind Roundtable Conference Call I spoke about Listening from the Heart. I wanted to make sure that if you were unable to make our FREE Conference Call (which we hold every Monday night at 7:30 pm PST at 646-519-5800 pin code 6195#) that you would still have the opportunity to benefit from the information presented.

Through my experiences of training and coaching and finding my way through this game we call life... I have come to understand that the fastest way to build a relationships is to truly care about the other person. This is true for both your personal, business or professional life. Perhaps just by listening from the heart is the best way to demonstrate that you care.

Heck, when I was growing up I did so much more listening than I did talking. Actually...let me rephrase that...I hardly ever talked and just about always listened! I was bit of a shy girl however it taught me some very valuable lessons. It allowed me to go beyond the words, to watch peoples mannerisms, their energy change, it allowed me to develop a sense of who they are and where they were coming from...just by listening to them.

So what is listening from the heart and how the heck do you do it?

Well, let me ask you this. Have you ever witnessed or perhaps yourself been involved in a conversation when only one person was actually present in the conversation?
For Example: You are on the phone with a friend, colleague or client, talking about something you are very passionate about and you get the feeling or perhaps you even hear then typing up an email or just waiting for a time when they can interrupt you so they can talk about whatever it is they want to talk about?

Now how did that instance make you feel? Did you loose a little bit of respect or trust for that person?

Now let me give you another example.
You are on the phone or in person talking about something you are very passionate about and while you are speaking you see that the person is looking you in the eyes, you can feel their sincerity and their connection with you and when it is their turn to speak...not only were they able to reflect back to you some of the points you had just mentioned but perhaps they can offer a similar situation that happened to them which tells you they were really listening.

So how will this information serve me or serve you?
This information will serve you in many ways. It will allow you to build deeper, stronger and more meaningful relationships with not only your family, friends and loved ones but also your clients, co-workers and business partners. It will allow you to connect on another, deeper lever. Listening from the heart is another form of connecting and whether you are in a sales environment or not, relationships are still being developed. It is up to you how deep you want to take them. Do you want a bunch of superficical relationships or do you want more meaningful ones? Do you want to walk into a room and know every ones name and only be able to comment on their attire that evening or how the weather has been or do you want to be able to engage in a conversation, perhaps even pick up where you left off because you listened with your heart and made a deeper connection? You and you alone must take 100% responsibility for the way things are if you don't like where you are at then make the decision right now to change them.

So if one of the most basic human needs is to be heard and understood and to have a connection with others...How in the world to do you give this gift of Listening from the Heart to others?

In other words, what must you do next for peak results?
1. First, you will want to shift your focus from your own thoughts to what the other person is saying. Listen with an open heart. Listen beyond what the words are that they are saying and listen to their feelings, their needs and their energy so you can truly understand the speaker.

2. At the same time you are giving 100% focus to the speaker, quiet your own internal dialogue (that talk that goes on in your head as we try to multi-task or think about what we are doing after the call such as picking up the kids or meeting up with someone for coffee).

3. Express interest by using body language, making eye contact, and sitting in a receptive posture (no arms crossed or slouching deep in your chair).

I would like to take this opportunity to challenge you all to choose one phone call a day to truly listen and understand the speaker on the other end of the line.

Also for the next 24 hours, avoid giving solutions or attempting to just fix a situation. Instead, support this person you are speaking with in finding their own way, this will build their confidence and increase accountability.

And lastly, practice listening from the Heart with a family member each and every day and see how positively they respond back to you! I guarantee you will see a shift in your relationship...one for the better.

With that in mind I want to thank you all for being here and connecting with me through this blog. I look forward to speaking with you in person and feel free to comment and give me your feedback as well.

Until then, Take Care!
