Abundance, Generosity and Celebration8dce9ca4dd0c236672c1bde0ebc2f6ae

Pillar 5 of The Creator’s Code, sounds simple enough, “Abundance, Generosity and Celebration”   In fact it even has quite a nice ring to it “Abundance, Generosity and Celebration” say it out loud, feel the resonance of the words together.  Cool isn’t it : )

I strive to embed these elements into my every day life and most of the time I think I do pretty damn well.  That said the grounding of The Creator’s Code is each month to take our NEXT step in living the pillars more deeply and consciously in our lives.

Simply put knowing is not enough we must BE and DO.

So with that in mind I am going to write about each of the three elements of Pillar 5 “Abundance, Generosity and Celebration” in great and specific detail for the rest of the month.

Starting with Abundance.

This morning I am sitting watching the sun come up and I am looking around me, I have a beautiful home, my family is upstairs sleeping safely, we are all healthy and strong. My boys toys are all over (ok I admit that there is a line somewhere beyond abundance that crosses into WAY too many toys!) I am writing this on my new retina display Mac laptop, abundance is here…in abundance.

However the truth is that I often take it for granted. I do not take the time to really acknowledge and appreciate my life and world AS IT IS.

When I fail to honor the abundance that surrounds me NOW, I feel like there is something out there that I should be chasing, working toward, creating.  That my friends is the seed of scarcity, that is the energy and resonance of “not enough”.

Not enough, just hang out with that phrase for a moment  “not enough” even typing the words brings a heaviness that is all too familiar, I KNOW the deceit in the words, yet it has driven me for more years than I care to admit.  I know I am not alone in that experience.

So today here is what I am going to do and who I am going to be.  I am going to focus EXCLUSIVELY on being abundant, I am going to slow down to appreciate my life and world as it is.

How I am going to do that is repeating a very simple mantra that I used to use specifically with money but today I am going to do it with EVERYTHING!

People, time, energy, patience, family, money, love, space, support…you name it

My Mantra is “Thank you, I have MORE than enough”

I invite you to join me today focusing on the abundance that surrounds you RIGHT NOW, by using my mantra and if it moves you please share your thoughts and experience below.

In abundance.

Clear, Complete and CREATE!

shapeitClear, Complete and CREATE!

Say it 3 times in a row, it is a great mantra!  Not only that is has a good beat and is easy to dance to ; )

I have had one of the best 1/4’s of life!  The past 90 days have been utterly and completely amazing/

A fb post I made said “thrilled, stunned, and relieved“. at completing 3 major projects that have been 3 +/- years in process.

As most things go I did not realize the weight, significance, and ENERGY that these projects (which we were making progress on….SLOWLY) were consuming.  It is only in their completion and absence that I can truly notice the difference.  I imagine not so different than the frog in the hot water, not noticing the difference in temperature until he is out of the water. Right now I am really noticing… appreciation, pride, gratitude, support and I feel the opening of vision, leverage, strategy and contribution.

It is a fascinating pattern for me, this process of consistently biting off more than I can chew and settling into finding or better put creating a way to complete what I set out to be or do.  On one had it is an almost magical strength of mine and on the other hand I a know that there are easier, smoother ways,  The dichotomy of the previous statements is not lost upon me.

In these moments of completion before I embark on the cycle of CREATION again, I pledge the following:

1) I accept that my desire to create is a double edged sword, if feeds and fuels my passion and engagement in life, it also can pull me off purpose when I get lost in the mechanics and too focused on “Getting SHIT DONE!”

2) The key to balancing greater contribution, enjoyment and PRESENCE is support.  Not half assed support, not good intentioned support, not convenient support, but strategic, professional, ROCK STAR support!  A quick shout out to my unicorn Tara, my brilliant rock star support that has been key in completing these major projects.  Thank you!!

3) Find and invest in groups and communities where I am “the dumbest guy in the room”  another way of saying this is spend time and invest in relationships with the people and organizations that have the greatest power and influence to support my mission and vision.

I had the privilege of being with a group of amazing people at ATL (Association of Transformational Leaders) last weekend and out of the entire weekend of outstanding and amazing content and conversations the statement from Yakov Smirnoff answering the questions of how did he become so successful so fast after immigrating to the US.  “and of course the power of proximity”  He had a long list of what he did and then added “the power of proximity” at the end as if to say and none of that would really have mattered if I had not placed myself in the “right spot”.  Hmmmm

So regardless of where you are in the cycle of Clear, Complete CREATE, I promise you that there is strategy, support and leverage that can make a monument difference.  To support you in that process I am giving you a give of a webinar that is the introduction of a coaching program I offer of the same name.

Clear, Complete and CREATE Overview!

Enjoy the webinar!

The Samurai Game Coming to Alberta!

Samurai_Art_Blacklight_062510
I just got back from the ATL (The Association of Transformational Leaders) meeting in Los Angeles where I had the honor of playing The Samurai with a group of astounding people, like Jack Canfield (who was assigned as MY back up in my role as 2nd in command LOL) Now to only get that happening in real life!  Also a ton of fun was Yakov Smirnoff who I really enjoyed, but back to the game.
Simply put the Samurai Game ROCKS!!

It is one of the most powerful activities, that mirrors who and how we are as human beings.  I will not tell you the details but I can tell you that in the game I died, the way I died was a perfect awareness (kick in the ass) for what I am working on in my life right this moment.  PRESENCE, being in the present moment, I have come away with clear commitments to strengthening my practices and more consciously aligning my environment (internal and external) to support living MORE in the moment.  I will write more about this in near future!

So if you are ready for a significant step up in your life and world, you really MUST get yourself registered in the program.  This is the first time it has ever been delivered in Alberta.  The weekend is June 28 – 30 We only have about 25 spots of 60 left. 

Feel compelled?

More Details:

The Samurai Game Workshop
The Samurai Game® Workshop is a powerful opportunity to experience the way of the warrior as a path to deeper self-awareness and enlightenment.In Japanese, the word samurai means “to serve.” The samurai lived and died by the code of bushido, “the way of the warrior.” For the true samurai, iron self- discipline, 100% commitment, inner calm in the face of danger, willingness to die rather than be dishonored, and unwavering loyalty to leader and team were a way of life. The Samurai Game® allows you to take on these qualities of the samurai warrior, and experience for yourself the way of the warrior as a path to deeper self-awareness and enlightenment.At the same time, the Samurai Game® is an amazingly accurate mirror that allows you to see exactly how you live your everyday life. As the game unfolds, major life issues will come to the surface for you to confront and deal with. For some people, the main issue is commitment—the willingness to persevere, not give up, in the face of setbacks, difficulties, and even pain. For others, it’s honesty and integrity—the courage to speak the truth, even when speaking the truth means the possibility of rejection or becoming an outcast. For others, what surfaces is the struggle between cowardice—giving in to fear—and courage, the willingness to risk, for what you believe in. And for still others, the issue brought up by the game is trust—trust in yourself, trust in other people, trust in life itself. The list of major life issues that may surface in the game is endless, since the game is simply a mirror. But you can count on being challenged to face up to yourself in a deep and meaningful way.Another challenge in the Samurai Game® for many people is the challenge of (symbolically) facing death. As you confront the possibility of dying in battle, you have an opportunity to contemplate the meaning of your life—and to face up to how brief this lifetime really is. For many participants, this is a chance to re-evaluate their priorities, and to gain a new level of clarity about what really matters.

The Samurai Game® is also an exercise in leadership and teamwork. Throughout the game, you will be presented with opportunities to lead—and opportunities to surrender completely to the leadership of others. The game will test you, and expose for you to see clearly your strengths and weaknesses as a leader and as a member of the team.

Participation in the Samurai Game® demands a high level of personal commitment and willingness to participate. Playing the game does not, however, require a high level of physical fitness or physical contact. Men and women from 18 to 80 years old, from all walks of life, have participated fully and created tremendous value in the Samurai Game®. As with any experiential process, the value you create will depend entirely on your willingness to participate fully and face up to yourself honestly.

The Samurai Game® was created by George Leonard. George was a founding member and former president of Esalen Institute. He held the rank of 5th Degree Black Belt in the Japanese martial art of Aikido and authored twelve books including: Mastery, The Ultimate Athlete, Education & Ecstasy, The Way of Aikido, The Silent Pulse, and (with Michael Murphy) The Life We Are Given. The Samurai Game® is now used globally in classes, seminars and corporate retreats, and has served hundreds of thousands of people.

The Samurai Game® Workshop will be led by Keith Bentz. Keith began his career teaching at the university level, doing undergraduate and graduate work at Stanford University, and teaching philosophy and literature at Stanford and Boston Universities. Keith has worked in the field of transformational education since 1980. From 1991 to 2008, he lived and worked in Asia, leading trainings in Japan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines. He has also led trainings for participants in the US, England, Holland, Russia, Mexico, Chile, and Argentina. Keith has personally assisted more than 60,000 men and women to live more effective, committed, and fulfilling lives. He is personally certified by George Leonard to lead the Samurai Game®.

What Have You Learned in 2012?

Posted by on

  · 1 Comment

PBsplashNow that the flurry of New Years week goals and pitches are complete, I would like to share with you an annual process that I have been doing for over a decade.

The key to me about this process is simple. Most people relive and recreate the same fundamental experiences over and over and over again! The reason generally speaking is simply this we as human beings are not that good at actually learning from our past, and our unconscious embedded resistance patterns attract and recreate the same types of people, circumstances, situations and choices that we have been making for most of our lives.

The fundamental law of resistance is this: Resistance breeds resistance, What you resist persists, what you resist over time you become! Simply put until we deal with our resistance and the unconscious beliefs that trigger resistance we are trapped to repeat the same patterns over and over again.

The assessment form I am sharing with you here is a simple yet powerful process to actually learn from our experience of the past year and consciously APPLY those lessons to our life this year!

Truly learning from the past is one of the most powerful ways to break the patterns of resistance in our lives. So lets get to it!

Here is a webinar that steps you through each stage of the form although it is stepping the participants through a shorter version of the form. Download here.

The form can be downloaded here.

This process is powerful and it works. Take the time to make sure that 2011 is all that you want it to be. You deserve it!

I will be doing a live workshop version of this free (limited space so register ASAP!) on Monday Jan 7th, in Calgary at the Personal Best Building 6:30 – 10:00 p.m.
