Greetings!   

CHANGE IS GOOD! 

I think to some degree, we all resist change.  Our Knower/Judger's got everything worked out...knows the route to work....where the coffee machine is....how many steps to the Men's room....all the comfortable things in life humming along on auto-pilot.

Change either happens TO us, or we INITIATE it. 

In today's world, change is happening TO us all the time.  Our employers want more output from us.  Banks don't lend money (unless you don't need it).  We discover Air Traffic Controllers are SLEEPING when they're supposed to be watching over us like shepherds.  To these (and all unexpected) changes I counsel Eckhart Tolle's three responses...

• Engage enthusiastically,

• Enjoy Passively, or

• Accept.

All other responses tend to sap your personal resources and make you look childish in front of your boss/wife/kids.  My experience is that while engaged in some self-pity or flagellation, anger or frustration something ELSE changes or goes awry.  And the day goes to Hell in a handcart.

But the change I'm talking about today is the kind we INITIATE.  Every once in awhile, a change of scenery gives our Learner/Researcher some fuel.  While the K/J can be stressed about all the comfort zone stuff, self-induced change can make us sharp.  Altered perspective opens our filters to new data.  Possibilities multiply.

So, with that I announce the World Headquarters of Corporate CoDriver has downsized and upgraded.  I've moved out of the office I've been in for the past 11 years into a smaller suite in the same complex.  I'm just 100 yards from my old office, but the difference is night and day.  I've got huge windows that over look the complex where I can watch the nesting pair of Red Tail hawks play.  It's got beautiful furniture and and nice brick walls. I havenew professional neighbors (lawyers and the like!).  My creative juices are flowing! 

So what are you stuck in that making a simple lateral change might spur your Learner/Researcher into action?  Think about it seriously.  You can learn where the coffee machine is in new surroundings.  You'll meet new people.  Make new connections.  See things differently.  

For those who ever have to mail something here...or actually find this little slice of productivity heaven, the new address is at the bottom of this missive. 

NEWS FROM CLARITY SUMMIT 

What's a Clarity Summit?  It's a chance to initiate CHANGE if you see change as a component of letting go of the struggle.  It's a weekend away from your Knower/Judger world with time and resources to see new data...make decisions....get clear. 

Your next "aha" moment could come at the next Clarity Summit. What's getting in your way?  Find out May 6-8 at the Moonrise Hotel in beautiful University City, MO.  Click here to learn more.
