iPEC principle...."Each Moment Describes Who You Are, and Give You the Opportunity to Decide if That's who You Want to Be.
Wow....so we do have the opportunity to change things...make our life what we want it to be. So there is really never really a 'right' way to do something...it is just the way we live out our reality in the moment...doing the best we can do in the moment we are in. Our life is a journey...one that takes turns..goes up hills and coasts down hills. We have to judge by the process not by whether or not we reach a certain goal. So we are going to finish college....get married....have a child....go for a promotion and we don't get there...failure???? No, it is what we learned in the valued journey of the process...that is the gift we have....it is the process.....should the goal be 'enjoy the process of life'?
So much of what we put ourselves through is the process of not reaching a goal we have set....but we need to sit back and realize what value we gained through the journey of the process....what we learned, the contacts we made in the process...the lives that were touched in the process of journeying toward the goal.
Each moment we decide who we want to be....maybe that changes moment to moment...and you know ..that is OK.

Friend or Foe???
iPEC Foundation Principle....There are no mistakes.
"If we treated our friends like we treat ourselves, we'd all go to jail." - Unknown
Really...there are no mistakes? Well, honestly, don't you always make the best choice for yourself at the time? When we are in any given situation...depending on the time of day, stress level, time restraints and a million other factors, we do indeed make the best decision we can at the time. In looking back on some decisions, we may believe it was a 'mistake' to take that action....but In All Reality...we were just doing the best we could at the time. Every moment of every day we are at a different energy level, dealing with a different aspect of life!
Sometimes we make decisions based on what happened last year, or what the consequence was when I was a child.....all based on our belief system....assuming that we know how things will turn out. So many times, if we just listen to that little adventurous voice inside that says something like...'try it this way this time' or 'it did not work last time...do it differently'.... But we are tugged by the 'critic' voice inside that says...."It has always been done that way.....do it that way again".
Part of the 'there are no mistakes' life is to step out of that old box and intend to react differently...shed a new light on an old issue....that old issue will CHANGE!
One of my favorite quotes is...."When you change the way you look at things...the things you look at change" - Wayne Dyer
Based on that thought process.....change things up...do some things differently. I am not suggesting that you upset your entire life's applecart....just do something small in a different way. Change up your morning routine slightly. You may find a more relaxed way to start your day out. Add a different exercise into your fitness routine....do something in your life differently everyday. Some of the changes may not appeal to you....but what if they do .....try it!!!
