…. another life coach moment…
I always say that a sloppy apology reveals a sloppy character…at least in the moment. I notice Steven Covey also expands on this same idea in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People pointing out the significance of maintaining a balanced emotional bank account with key relationships – make deposits, avoid withdrawals.
So why do we make so many withdrawals with people we care about?…What inspires us to act in ways against what we really want out of an exchange? I found my morsel of wisdom in what is revealed in simple apologies…
Have you ever observed an individual do and say everything but sincerely take accountability in the right way? I have. And what I observed is the evidence of a complete character imbalance. When the ego is larger then the heart, it will always move toward the position of power and of least vulnerability. One way the ego reveals its lack of power is in behaviors of refusal. When one feels low power they refuse to understand, listen or be truly receptive to another view point or truth. As the ego saves “its face”, it can betray the heart. To the ego, understanding, listening and being receptive is death – because it is perceived as losing individuality through the openness of actually receiving another viewpoint in sincerity.
With a heart-centered consciousness, one has full power. You see, the ego is meant for definition and individuality. Its purpose is for the identification of “you” within the world of “Us”. To master the dance between the fun of enjoying our own unique expression (personality) while exchanging energy with different facets of the same diamond (other people), we must appreciate the ego for its assistance on our evolutionary journey thus far, but now let it go. The new energy that many are buzzing about in the dawn of 2012 is simply global evolution. And the “new humanity” trying to emerge has a new basic operating system. Just as we upgrade our personal software, the world is upgrading its operating system. To operate successfully in this “new world”, one must be mindful to recognize that ego-centered consciousness is not an effective path anymore for what we want to create. There is plenty of evidence as we watch older societal structures dismantle – evolution does not play around.
So here are two powerful things you can do right now:
1. upgrade your software by consciously allowing your heart to be the driver in all your interactions (let it guide you)
2. begin to think in terms of one humanity while acting locally toward that unified vision

OK, I am really not sure what all the confusion is, really. I am pretty certain about a few things and wonder why we don’t have stronger leadership for HUMANITY. Who will be brave enough to rally what is right and good for the whole? Here are my thoughts on the matter…
1. Everyone should have care…we are one human family. Period.
2. Our society perpetuates poor diets, toxic food and solid bottom lines off the sick… ok, huh? Soooooo, sick people are good money making “customers”? wow.
3. Prevention should be a powerful priority backed by funds regardless of who is losing money…raise your hand if you want to get a check every time someone vomits?…our system supports and perpetuates this mentality.
4. Everyone is so overwhelmed with healthcare’s “broken pieces” and trying to glue them together that the most obvious and most powerful solutions are overlooked.
Perhaps a radical approach is in order?
1. Like all folks should be FREE, all folks should have support when they suffer. If the system does not move fast enough…then move faster then the system…calling all caregivers – give. give. give! Don’t wait for a slow moving system to support what you know you can do now.
2. Take care of your body and change the business model from making money off the sick to making money off the healthy. Can you imagine the paradigm shift if being healthy, well and happy were this huge economic driver? Then when anyone is sick they would have access to top quality care that’s easily funded. What a concept.
3. Create HEALING CENTER/HOSPITAL HYBRIDS …they should be beautiful, loving, warm and homey….the focus should be “we trust the body’s ability to heal, we simply support its return to balance”…and a true partnership between modern medical science and the cutting edge discoveries on energy medicine/color therapy/meditation etc. would dance in harmony toward a wellness VISION that is about creating and sustaining health, balancing the body and intervening only when necessary.
I heard Steven Covey once say that true leadership comes from saying.. “I’ll go first”…
