Wednesday Wisdom

Seed tomorrow with wise relationships today!

Mary Jane Mapes is one of the most gifted and talented professional speakers I know. And, as an educator, consultant and facilitator, she’s helped people and organizations get from where they are to where they desire to be for decades. Her insight is deep and her advice is priceless. So, I have to share the release of her book with you: You CAN Teach a Pig to Sing – Create Great Relationships with Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere.

These are only a few messages from the book that resonate with me and give me reason to ponder their meaning:

Only when we are free from judgment and in a state of acceptance can we access disarming ways of getting through to people.

Listening with the heart demonstrates that we commit to the inner stillness which opens us up to another person’s story.

Living an inspired life makes you a magnet for positive relationships.

I’m reminded that having exceptional relationships requires having a healthy one with myself. The treasures of relationships are a result of genuine compassion that can lead to understanding the stories of others. And, having a wonderful life is a result of inner stillness that allows the compassion and insight to fold.

Today, I wish you all inner stillness and small, subtle inner shifts that make all the difference!

Seed tomorrow with wise love today!

Monday was Valentine’s Day . . . hope you shared the love!

In love’s honor, I ponder these two life messages:

True love begins when nothing is looked for in return. ~ Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Love doesn’t make the world go around, love is what makes the ride worthwhile. ~ Elizabeth Browning

May love permeate every day of our life, enrich every relationship we cherish and mend every internal tear in our Spirit.

Seed tomorrow with wise giving of yourself today!

A treasured friend and colleague for over 30 years and an inspiration to everyone who crosses her path, Carol Ruscoe, often sends me inspirational messages. I recently received this one:

Remember: People love you for the way THEY FEEL when they are with you.

How about being impressed by another rather than working hard to impress? Think about it: Isn’t it really better to give happy than to chase happiness? Wouldn’t you really rather have people feel good about themselves in your presence than anything else?

Oh, did I mention that Carol is an extraordinary (and I mean EXTRAORDINARY) Business Support Specialist whose company has been purchased and is therefore currently seeking employment in the Detroit Metro area with a organization as equally progressive and exceptional as she is? If you have a lead, please contact me for Carol’s resume. I promise the company you introduce her to will be blessed, since co-workers and customers always feel valued in her presence!

Seed tomorrow with wise focus today!

I was completely mesmerized by 69 year old William Mitchell, the Memphis Downtown Marriott driver, who took me to the airport. In 20 minutes he eloquently shared his life philosophy and lessons that have helped him live a fulfilled life. Read just of few of the treasures he shared and you’ll see what I mean:

Everyday I make sure I get at least one ‘thank you.” That means I consciously help someone – everyday.

Too many of us are blessed and we don’t know it. Too many people concentrate and whine about what they don’t have rather than knowing they’re blessed,
and being grateful for what they do have.

I taught my children: Yes, ma’m, no ma’m. Yes, sir. No sir. Thank you and Please.
We pay a price for not teaching such simple courtesies.

Have dignity for yourself and others. Life simplifies itself with one word: respect.

Thank you for the most enriching ride, William Mitchell.
