Allana - Letting Go of Frustration and Self-Judgement While Shooting a Pumpkin!

Once on the farm, you’d think Gabe was born there. Smell didn’t bother him. Total natural with animals and climbing all over the barn in the hay. He was RIGHT in the pen with TONS of cows, in his rubber boots, guiding them into the milking station… they are HUGE animals and yet he had no fear! He loved the horses (Mr. Wilson came right over to nuzzle me when I went for a walk in the stunning acres over rolling hills…yum). Gabe also loved the dogs and one farm cat Kitan in particular. He even shot a bibi gun.

So did I! And a bigger gun. And a Bigger one! Nearly knocked me off my feet. Way up in the hills. I hit a pumpkin. LOVED it! I’m officially a red neck.

Justice was my 17 yr. old mentor who taught me the rules of respect for the guns. He told me he has no idea how I can live in a city. He prefers nature and animals to people. Yet he’s got a huge heart and I loved my lesson and appreciated his patience!

It was such a metaphor for life, when I was timid and not grounded, I missed the pumpkin. Frustration or self-judgment made it worse. When I pulled the trigger too fast ‘trying’ to hit the pumpkin, I missed. Yet when I leaned up against the truck, gun to my cheek, exhaled deep into my body and into the earth, BECAME the trigger AND the bullet and pulled the trigger softy, directly like I WAS the gun… WAS the bullet… bingo . Wow. I feel so enlivened. It was like a meditation. Cleared my mind, got me present, in my body, clear what I’m generating and creating in my life. Hot.

SMART Goals 101: Goal Setting Examples, Templates, and Tips - Brian Tracy

I think you’ll agree with me when I say: We’ve all heard that SMART goals are important . But a lot of people are left with questions about them, for example: What exactly are they? How do we use them correctly? Are they really contributing to your success? Here’s the deal: When it comes to achieving success, one of the most important steps that you can take is setting good goals. It is also important to recognize, though, that not all goals are created equal. In this article, we’ll take a look at a special class of goals called SMART goals and how you can use them to heighten your chances of success. FREE SUCCESS TOOL: Brian Tracy’s 14-Step-Goal-Setting Guide What is a Goal? A goal can be any objective that you set for yourself and push yourself to achieve. Sometimes that goal may be small (like waking up an hour earlier than you normally do) and sometimes it may be larger (like earning a promotion). But here’s the kicker: While having goals of all kinds is almost

bosanchez - The Bias of Fathers

One day, I was at a Christmas party. And parents were forcing their small kids to sing, bribing them with lollipops to banana splits to doll houses to Boracay vacations. One father — a friend of mine whose name I won’t divulge as it would be hazardous to my health — brought his little five-year-old daughter to the front. Because he even had a Minus One prepared, we thought, “She must really be a good singer.” So everyone clapped their hands and cheered as the music started. Then the five-year-old began to sing. Or at least made some kind of sharp noise. But she didn’t get one key right. The cute little girl was absolutely tone deaf. From beginning to end, she sounded so awful, the experience was similar to having an endoscopy without the anesthesia. But the father was right beside me, still taking photos, still smiling from ear to ear, his eyes glued to his little daughter. He looked at me and smiled, “She may not sound right, but can you see how lovely she sways her hips?” Th
