About Success
Open-heartedness: Charity, compassion and love - a basic trust in life and concern for
humanity and the earth we call home.
Congruity: Self-awareness, harmony in word and deed - (honour and integrity) - we are less
powerful than if we are united within ourselves.
Freedom: non-attachment to pleasure or pain, patience, peace - freedom from dependencies
and from defeating limitations like fear (sometimes this state is called "grace")
Purposeful Action: Motivation, diligence and courage (energy) towards something, rather than
away from something in reaction or defence.
Mindful Choice: Awareness, contemplation and consideration of consequences -
consideration of the greater good, responsibility and accountability.
Intuitive Wisdom: Going beyond the obvious - delving into the mystery, connection with the
power of creation through meditation and spiritual practice, acceptance.

| I can help you with life success by helping you identify what is blocking you from your potential and by facilitating a path forward. |
| The great and glorious masterpiece of man is to live with purpose. ~ French philosopher Michel de Montaigne |
| "Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the life-long attempt to acquire it." Albert Einstein |
"Where science, psychology and spirituality meet ."
Consider this: how you define your expectations for success will also define your satisfaction
with your life. If some of these "goals" are not attained, far from feeling like "a success" you
may perhaps feel like a "failure". While there is nothing wrong with ambition or working
towards goals, as energy and effort is necessary to make any stride in life, falling down is as
much a part of success learning as is the successful achievement of our objective. The
question to ask is: are attaining our ambitions our only measure of realization? Or, does
success involve more than meeting a physical, externally-referenced yardstick?
I believe it does. Success can also be defined as a supremacy of the human spirit. Our
human spirit is, by nature: open, congruous, free, purposeful, aware and wise. These
qualities are accessible to everyone as they already reside within each of us and are not
constrained by external factors. It doesn't require money, nor does it depend on others; all that
is required is a connection with our selves and/or our Higher Power. In this case, opening to
the possibilities and making the journey is the success, not the destination.

I encourage you to define what success means to you.
Is it money, fame, family, friends, acclaim, good sex,
lots of cars, travel, adventure, altered experiences? The
list can be quiet long. This niffty litte off-site presentation
by Mr. Loo of UBC may help you get started.
If success to you is achievement-based then some
coaching may be of assistance to you. I can be of
assistance in helping you to transform obstacles into
opportunities for growth and development.

When we are disconnected from our inner guidance, that is the time we feel closed,
incongruous, trapped, confused, aimless, powerless or lost. This can make any life journey
difficult, unhappy or dissatisfying.
