What our Children Teach Us about Happiness

And The Power of Now

My daughter, Bo, has recently celebrated her second birthday. As you can see by the picture of her below, she is all grown up now.

Recently, Bo has taken to waking me up each morning with a little question that she whispers ever so sweetly into my ear. The question is, Daddy, shall we have some fun today?

What an invitation.

It’s the way Bo says it that really gets me. She makes it sound so appealing. How can I say “No” to her? Continue Reading

10 Characteristics of the Entrepreneurial Spirit

How to Release it Even More In Your Life

If I were to ask you, “Are you an entrepreneur?” what would you say?

“Yes” or “No?”

“Maybe” is not an option.

If your answer is “Yes,” how so? What makes you an entrepreneur? Be specific now! How would you describe the tell-tale signs of entrepreneurial spirit in you?

If your answer is “No,” I recommend that you take a closer look at your life, your work, and your relationships. Maybe entrepreneurship is so natural to you that you haven’t thought of giving a name to it. It’s just who you are; and you just do it!

So What is an Entrepreneur?

It sounds a bit French, doesn’t it! And what is the entrepreneurial spirit? Well, here are ten symptoms that I have come up with which might help you to recognize it in you and release it even more into our life. Continue Reading

Everyday Abundance: Abundance is not an “It”

A Poem

by Robert Holden, Ph.D
Poetry
On February 27th-28th, I facilitated a workshop on Everyday Abundance at the Columbia Hotel, London. For two days, a room full of people, who came from all walks of life, explored some big themes including definitions of real abundance, blocks to real abundance, and also what can enable greater abundance.

I put this workshop on now, in the middle of this economic recession, because I believe we are each being called to reflect on what is of real value in our lives. The workshop was a wonderful occasion, and one that I personally got a lot out of. It was full of deep realizations, rich sharings, helpful conversations, and new commitments going forward.

The Everyday Abundance workshop started with a reading by Avril Carson and Lizzie Prior of a poem I wrote called True Abundance. This poem set the tone for our workshop. Here it is: Continue Reading
