Will put the “Peaceful Warrior” on my Xmas holiday “must see” list. Thanks for sharing – here’s a similar insight I read often that hit me so hard I posted the words in my home office where I see them every day (from Mike Dooley’s daily “notes from the Universe” which are FREE at tut.com, and totally amazing!!) – your message reminded me again to SLOW down to SPEED up..
Have you noticed that the more you hurry, the slower you go?
The more you wait, the longer it takes? The more you worry, the less you dream?
But the more you live, love, and laugh, the more you live love, and laugh.

I am in a constant state of juggling & it’s the intentional quiet time, and getting present when things are crazy that keep me flowing forward, and staying happy.

Slowing down, and being in today, even in just a moment of today allows one to perceive even the smallest success or joy!

This minute moment of being present allows you or I to draw from each joy or success and energize our enthusiasm and our gratitude!

Thanks Stephanie, and may all our moments this season be blessed!

Hi Stephanie~Peaceful Warrior is one of my all time favorite movies. As the world increases it’s speed and distractions abound I am constantly at work to do less and accomplish more. I am finding it is a definite practice meaning I have to keep practicing, I make mistakes often and then I am redirecting myself to get back on track. Always relieved to do less and accomplish more. Thank you for your great wisdom and inspiration!

Hi Stefanie

Thanks for the newsletter about Jim Rohn passing away and the dedication. When I started my network marketing business 4 years ago, I was blocked by a poverty consciousness I wasn’t even aware of. My sponsor “fed” me Jim Rohn’s work until I was able to identify my “money” and “prosperity” blockages and set concrete goals to undo them. It still took me 3 years though to do anything with my business and in the interim, I got distracted by so many things that do not serve my purpose that I ended up this year with 9 revenue streams that were not generating much income and forced me to wear too many hats.

I will forever be grateful to Jim Rohn for hsi response to a client who attended one of his semianrs on sowing and reaping:

“Sometimes when you sow a see, it gets eaten by the birds or blown away by the wind.. that’s just not fair; I want to know why some seeds that you sow don’t produce a harvest”

“Son”, Jim Rohn replied ” That is one class I would nevr sign up for”!

Jim Rohn’s work taught me not to sign up for things that don’t serve my purpose. When we do this, we misdirect our energy into things that keep us always busy, always expeding energy but never getting anywhere.

Last month I didn’t just slow down. I decided for once in my life to stop running and just stop, to take time to just be and appreciate everything I already have. I was amazed by the things that came to awareness and in that one month I was able to complete the manuscript for a book I have been struggling with for 2 years.

Blessings for a “slow” Christmas season that helps you to speed up your misssion and purpose in the New Year.

On 6/25 of this year I underwent by-pass surgery. Quite unexpected but literally life-saving. I had four arteries with some blockage that never showed up on any treadmill test I’ve done in the last four years. I had one blockage that we were monitoring. My instincts made me ask for a “look” with a heart Cat…..found 5 arteries blocked.

Yes, I’ve slowed down and will make dramatic changes in 2010 regarding my business and personal agenda.

I’m also saddened by Jim Rohn’s death. He made a trememdous impact on my life as he has millions across the globe. Remember him in your prayers.

I am laughing as I use the movie clip of that exact scene in a presentation and a video I have to help prospects and clients “get it” using humor. Fabulous tool humor.

Everyday I remind myself to BREATH in BREATH out and it helps me to slow my mind and my heart so I can be at one with the present. Thanks for the reminder.

Beautiful post Stephanie. Thanks for writing so clearly about The Power of Now. Many try to explain it and few achieve to be well understood. Be sensitive to the air coming and going out from your body and to the physical sensations of your body trying not thinking in anything helps.
