Reply To: What have you found as a meaningful takeaway from webcast #23: Owning Your Life?

First off, I am so thankful that you host these on Monday mornings.  What a great way to frame the week.

Most meaningful takeaway for me, BY FAR, was the quote:  With awareness there is choice.  Without awareness, there is only habit.

I don’t know why, but I picture Mr. Miyagi from Karate Kid saying that to Daniel-son.

So true.  Without stepping back and thinking consciously about how I am going to go about this day, this week, the next hour, I would revert to what I habitually do, the way I normally approach things….good or bad.

Awareness forces me to think about things a different way.  To approach each event in my day…a conversation, a to-do, a meeting, an interaction with my daughters who are luckily still sleeping downstairs but will eventually awake… a different way.  The right way.  Not just based on the emotions or feelings that I might have in a given moment.

Thanks for a great session.
