It seems to me that as we mature spiritually, what used to be important to us in this 3rd dimension will begin to wane. We will become more detached to what used to matter to us… such as the color of our new car… who wins the World Series… what he said in regards to what she said… that so-and-so didn’t follow through on their word, etc… Realize now what is important. It’s about your spiritual maturing. Just remember that it’s about progress… not about being perfect. Remember, too, that so much of what we see around us is an illusion… an illusion of ego, which is not You.

Unconditional Love
A friend of mine asked me a couple of days ago what sin was. What came to me was that sin was anything… any thought or action… that does not come from unconditional love.
At the end of the day… this is for you leaders: If you want to be a more efffective leader… if you want your team to be able to do more with less effort… work to grow in unconditional love of yourself. Love really is the catch-all for the rest of the components in the R.I.P.P.L.E. formula. Think about it!

Customers Rule… not!
This is just my opinion… through my intuition. As we move through time, we will be moving more toward individualized attention… that the customer is going to demand individualized attention or they will go elsewhere. That being said… we will also be moving in to a time where the customer will not always be right… their antics will be tolerated less and less… and the one providing the good or service will be less inclined to accommodate. The provider will feel safe and secure in knowing there there are other potential worthy customers out there who are low maintenance, trusting, and appreciative of what they are offering. So… customers… start working toward better, more appropriate behavior. I’m talking about you behaving as if the one you are buying from is the customer.

The Ego
Remember… or realize… that the ego can justify anything. The ego can justify why it’s okay to deviate from the truth… why it’s okay to be hurtful or harmful. The ego can tells a story that overrides the natural state of our higher Self and disguises itself as the truth. So… be careful. The ego is a tricky thing… full of negatively held emotions… with the desire to be “right”… the desire to seek “justice”… the desire for short term “gratification”… with judgment and condemnation.
Your job… to work from the highest and best intention… to expand love… realize that you are not your body… that you have a purpose just like all of the other souls walking around this planet with everyone seeking to learn something whether consciously or through trials. – http://www.KeynoteSpeakersPro.com

Boundries!
I was the speaker on a nationwide conference call recently and was talking about the importance of removing toxic people from you life and the importance of how this relates to your success. At the end of this hour-long talk, the “floor” was open for questions. I answered a few questions and then said that any of this listeners could email me a question if the didn’t feel comfortable asking their question in an open format. I received an email from a woman within minutes of hanging up. This woman wanted to know how to “remove the toxic person from your life when the toxic person is your mother.”
My response was simple. I first told her that if she changed… then her mother would change… and that she would be changing if she merely set boundries. I told her to simply tell her mother how she felt after her mother did or said something that was hurtful and to express this with a when-you, I-feel statement. I told her to give this a try and then because this would help her validate herself as a person and serve as a mechanism to cause her mother to back-off. The woman then wanted to know what to do if that didn’t work. I proceeded to tell her that she needed to separate herself from her mother if her mother did not modify the abusive behavior. This would include her not calling her mother on the phone to share her dreams with her. This would include not allowing her mother to visit if she was abusive. This would include not allowing her mother access to her grandchildren if the abusive behavior didn’t completely stop.
I’ve sent our several emails to this woman caller since giving her this advice and her feedback is that it seems to be working.
So… sometimes leadership is not about you leading a team. It’s often about you leading yourself… you being an effective leader of your own life… by doing what you have to do to take care of yourself in a healthy way.

Power vs. Love
I keep hearing this from those around me… that we are going in to a new age… that we’re leaving a time in human history where man wins by coming from a position of power… and we’re entering a time where we must come from love… with an open heart… in order to achieve the desired results. Failure to come from love will result in you struggling as a leader or teammate. – http://www.KeynoteSpeakersPro.com

Better Leadership… Better Teamwork
To be a better leader… to be a better teammate… come from the heart… with compassion and empathy. Please don’t misinterpret this for me telling you to give yourself away. I ‘m just encouraging you to offer a win-win situation for all… one that is fair for both sides of the opportunity… that has a foundation of honesty… and that allows you to feel good about yourself. Lots of us don’t do this becasue we come from a position of fear and lack & limitation… the idea that we don’t have all that we need or that we’re going to go with out. Work through the fear. I know it’s not easy. It’s a tough one for many of us… me included, of course.
At the end of the day, work toward being compassionate toward others for most don’t know their true purpose. There is gentleness in doing this. – http://www.KeynoteSpeakersPro.com

To be a better you…
To be a better leader is to first be a better you… to grow in each area of the R.I.P.P.L.E. formula as best you can. Remember that this is not about perfection. It’s not about beating yourself up as you move through the process. To the contrary, it’s about being gentle with yourself as you learn… as you mature… spiritually… mentally… emotionally. – www.KeynoteSpeakersPro.com

Remember This…
Remember… the quality of your life is directly correlated to the quality of R.I.P.P.L.E.s that you put out into the Universe. – http://www.KeynoteSpeakersPro.com/
