===> Metaphors
empowering yourself + other people using ===> powerful metaphors!
What are the metaphors for YOUR life?
If you aren't familiar with metaphors, here is one. "Life sucks!"
Here's another. "Life is full of beautiful surprises!"
If you think the first one, or you think the second one, that's one of
the metaphors for your private and business life.
Think of all the metaphors you use for all areas of your life.
Write them down and review the list. With each one, ask,
"If MY life was like this, how would I feel?"
Make sure each area of your life has empowering metaphors.
If they aren't, create new ones. If they are already empowering,
create new ones that are even more empowering -- for each
area of your life
Repeat the new metaphors at the beginning and end of every
day for the next month. Decide that these are the metaphors
you will live with now. At the end of those thirty days, see
how your thoughts AND your life has changed.
And above all:
DO empower your family, your friends, your businesspartners using
===> powerful metaphors!
Want one of those? OK, keep on reading.......
An old TAOISM story from China for YOU
"Who knows what it is good for"
An old farmer lives with his son. On their small farm, they
have just one horse. One day, the horse escapes and disappears into the
mountains. All the neighbours say, "Oh, how terrible for you", and the old
farmer just shrugs and says,
"Who knows what it is good for"
The next day, the horse returns to the farm - with a dozen wild horses
following it. All the neighbours say, "Oh, how wonderful for you!", and the
old farmer just shrugs and says,
"Who knows what it is good for"
A day later again, the son is attempting to break-in one of the wild horses
and is thrown off. His leg is badly broken in the fall. All the neighbours
say, "Oh, how terrible for you", and the old farmer shrugs and says,
"Who knows what it is good for"
Then the next day some men from the Army come to town to take away all the
fit and healthy young men. They are being forced to fight in a gruesome war
in a far-off country. The farmer's son, his leg badly broken, cannot go
All the neighbours say "Oh, how wonderful for you!" , and the old farmer
shrugs and says,
"Who knows what it is good for"
....and the cycle just continues again and again
This is a great strory to remember when you suffer a setback or heartbreak
of any sort; things can turn on a telephone call, a kind word from somebody,
or even just a good night's sleep. You might think you've had some really
bad things happen to you lately; well, maybe, maybe not:
"Who knows what it is good for!"
It depends on how you look at it and what happens next.
Sometimes we can never even imagine in our wildest dreams what will happen
next.
Thats what makes life such an exciting journey!
