What does it take to live a life rich with possibility, to transform one’s quality of living, to show up as a leader? I say it starts with a willingness to take responsibility for our lives and the world (which includes our fellow human beings) within which we dwell. Getting that we are the authors of our lives and not “victims” that is to say that we have a say in how we live, how our lives turn out and how the world is and is not. From there we can invent possibilities that move-touch-inspire us and give us being in the present moment. Acting decisively and persistently, out of the context of these possibilities, we shape ourselves and the world that we dwell in.
The quotes that best speak for this blog and the game ‘play BIG’ are:
“At all times, under all circumstances, we have the power to transform the quality of our lives” Werner Erhard
“Life can be pulled by goals just as surely as it can be pushed by drives.” Viktor Frankl
“But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.” Hemingway (The Old Man and the Sea)
You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want. Zig Ziglar.

Hello “The Truth Warrior”
WOW, I am deeply touched that what I say, write, speaks to you and you find it worthy, inspiring!
Don’t we all want to be accepted just as we are, to matter, to be loved? I do. And through your nomination, your comment on this blog, you have given me that gift. Your gift is especially welcome as it has been a tough week health wise. And once again confronted by the possibility of ‘death’ I was confronted by the question: “How did / does my presence in this game called Life, make a difference? In whose life did I make a difference? Who did I cause to smile? Whose tears did I wipe? Who found a resting place on my shoulder? Who was able to accept him/herself because of my sharing? Who did I inspire?”
If you were here I would give you a heartfelt hug. Isn’t touch the primal language? Words cannot do the work of touch!
I am grateful that you exist in the world, that our paths have crossed and that we contribute to one another. What a privilege life is!
Namaste
