Diana, my wife, broke her her foot two weeks ago. We like to say she did it kick boxing, but actually she fell getting out of a row in a dark concert hall, tripped and fell down and broke her foot.
So now we are two weeks into the cast and the crutches and the physical therapy. It is a relatively small thing in the world of problems, but it adds a layer of complexity to every day, as I am picking up a lot of the extra jobs around the house that Diana usually handles.
At first it felt like yet another thing to take care of. And then I realized, I do not want to be here caretaker-- I want to be here care GIVER.
When I give care it is easy and open. It is the same with my clients and the people I work with.
I have so much to give.
Giving makes my heart feel light.
Giving makes the other person feel better, and that makes me feel better.
Giving with passion feels best of all.
I can do this today,
Find my passion, and give it away!
This daily journal came from a promise. Right before Memorial Day 2009, I met with my business coach Joe Stumpf. I shared with him my total burn out in my business of 20 years. Frustrated by what my life had become, I promised to get up at 5:00 AM every day, meditate and journal and focus on bringing passion back into every aspect of my life, my work, my family and my personal growth. Instead of going to work every day and having a PITY PARTY, I have decided to have a PASSION PARTY.
