I went kite flying yesterday and I have to say that I had a total blast! I think I found a new hobby. I mean it was seriously fun for me. I know what does that say about me : ) Oh that George, he really knows how to party, he loves to fly a mean kite! But seriously though, I found it very meditative and relaxing. So while I was meditating on my kite not falling out of the sky, I had an epiphany.
How much of our life is like flying a kite? The kite does not require us to do anything, but to allow and let the wind to take it. We don't have to try or force it, or struggle with life, all we have to do is allow it to happen and just like the kite its flight is effortless. So the next time we find ourselves struggling so hard to make something happen, remember to let go and let the kite go where it wants to go.
Also I realized that the feeling that the kite flying had on me lasted for hours afterwards. I was calm and serene and when I laid down to take a nap I could still see the kite in my minds eye soaring ever higher. So there you have it.
Go fly a kite!

The Success Principles Workshop 2009
Hello Everyone!
Wow I'm still feeling the energy from the workshop that Jack Canfield presented on Saturday. Some of you may or may not know, but I started a meetup group The South Bay Success Principles a couple years back when Jack Canfield had put out his book "The Success Principles" and The Secret had first come out. The purpose of the group was to provide a place for people to come and learn about "The Success Principles" and work on their goals and dreams. In the process, I worked on some of mine, which were to speak and teach The Principles and to have support to write my book. The group has grown from it's humble beginnings of a couple of us talking about our goals to me presenting at The University of Toytota.
I was familiar with Jack Canfield from his "Chicken Soup for The Soul" books in the early nineties, but when my wife handed me this one it just so resonated with me. Jack basically compiled all his best work over the past years and put it into one volume for the reader to have if they wanted success in any area of their life. It was like a master book of success strategies. I had just left the non-profit sector as a Marriage and Family Therapist and was considering Life Coaching when my wife gave me the book. Now the funny thing is that my wife does not read this kind of material, but she "just thought I might like it." Boy was she ever right. I had been struggling with the question of what to do with my life, if not therapy? I have worked in the helping profession for almost twenty years and it was how I defined myself. Now what? As I read Jack's book, so many times I identified with his writing that I kept telling my wife he has traveled so many of the paths that I want to travel. It was as if he was writing for me! At the time, I had created a Parenting Company with a couple of friends, but it dawned on me that I was constantly coaching them in the business as opposed to being a partner, then *BAM* the light went on and I realized that while I was interested in parenting, and business, I was doing what I always did with friends, family, and clients, I was empowering and supporting them to reach their highest potential. Once I had created the company and it was off and running, I stepped down as President and CEO, so that I could focus on my core genius.
I decided to take a leap of faith and to do what came most naturally to me and that is using my intuition and empathy to inspire, empower, and support others to discover their highest potential. Around this time, he offered a Life Coaching program and I jumped at the opportunity. I worked The Success Principles and continue to use them in my day to day work with my clients and myself.
My group continues to grow as we have become a support for others who are trying to change their life in a positive manner. We use "The Success Principles" as well as other Law of Attraction and Life Mastery Teachers, such as Eckhart Tolle, Abraham/Hicks, and many others.
I currently offer a "Vision Board PlayDay" as well as a "Vision Quest" where I lead you on a guided meditation to discover your life's purpose. Here is a short clip from "The Success Principles Workshop" in Anaheim, CA. this past Saturday. I have seen Jack in Santa Barbara for his taping of the PBS Special and met him briefly then and at The Los Angeles Times Book Expo and he is always the most gracious person with his time.
As always, Jack was great and passionate about the material as he even ran over to make sure that he covered everything he intended. He was also very generous in signing autographs and posing for pictures. He has his "Breakthrough to Success" 7 day training coming on August 9-15, 2009 at the Fairmont in Scottsdale, Arizona if you get a chance go!
In Peace and Love,
George
