United we stand. Fractured we fall.

Published on by in Articles

United we win. Divided we loose.

President Obama addressed the UN General Assembly. His message: UNITE! To accomplish this task, President Obama invites us to remember the power behind releasing old ways of thinking and doing things. Not that we forget our history, but that we engage the wisdom of what we’ve learned to support what we sense is worth our time and attention.

For our world to even consider the strengths of uniting on a diversity of fronts, it’s time to take stock in how united we feel on a personal level. If our personal and professional lives feel fractured, it’s unlikely we’ll have what it takes to begin uniting neighborhoods much less nations or ideals. How united do you feel on fronts of personal worth to include finances, relationships, health and spirituality – to name a few?

Before the choirs of doubt, debate and pessimism warm up, kindly know I’ve no desire to clone or rubber stamp some sort of idealistic Nirvana vision into everyone’s forehead! I savor diversity of cultures, creeds, needs and deeds. We can all polish our diversity observation skills by:

  • taking a walk in the woods or a park and actually SEE, smell and hear all the many amazing plants, animals, birds and related creatures.
  • sitting at a cafe or park to watch animated people share time with family and friends.
  • having a hard time on deciding what to eat while staring at a buffet table!

This short list of examples speak to the daily displays of diversity.

  • Diversity of life.
  • Diversity of choice.
  • Diversity of perspectives.

By closely observing diversity, we WILL see the COMMON traits we all share. Common traits are the cornerstones to building bridges to unite a variety of cultures, creeds and classes. Financial worth is certainly ONE common trait we share with most folks. What other common traits do you share with others no matter age, location or ability? As we explore common traits (such as valuing health, earning respect and falling in love – truly – a short list) we begin to recognize how to place financial worth in perspective to other types of worth. Perspective is the key here dear readers! To broaden your perspective of what personal worth is all about is what inspires me to to type the words you read and hear on my radio shows.

What does this all have to do with personal worth? Uniting all types of worth is a GOAL for this series. It’s my hope that YOU begin to FEEL (not just think) how a successful LIFE is MORE than financial success. Given the current state of the economy, if your finances are currently on a roller coaster ride, this ride need not turn the rest of your world topsy-turvy. Doubt my words?

No worries! Doubt is one of the STARS in the ever-popular, longest running movie ever! FEAR. Are you a fan of Doubt? Doubt is certainly married to Worry. Worry is another MAJOR star in our FEAR movie. You like this movie? Rock on! Have fun! Kindly know that your desire to worship and support your relationships with doubt and worry keeps the FEAR box office perpetually busy. Fear is exactly what’ll prevent you from accessing more of what you want.

(I can hear the choirs of doubt, debate and pessimism singing . . .) Yea! Right! How new agey can we get here. Come on SD! Get real! Fear is a part of life. Get used to it!

True, fear is part of life – that’s a sad reality. I never wish to get used to it! Why? Tell you what, post a comment in the box below to share how you united FEAR with helping you achieve a long term HEALTHY outcome in life. I’m opened minded. I’m ready to learn . . .

Care to stop buying FEAR tickets? Ready for a different show? (Hey – FREE popcorn for trying other shows here folks!)

Engage your creativity to come up with ethical, healthy ways to unite:

  • quality time with friends and family. Results? Increased levels of respect; more solid reputation.
  • what you did (your history) with what you learned (your wisdom). Results? Less likely to repeat painful lessons.
  • your attention with consistent focus. Results? More productive use of time, increase the quality of your work, relationships and health.

Play with these suggestions in ways that inspire a laugh, a hug or a smile. Keep them simple to start. Trying these different approaches are well worth your time and effort. Based on first-hand experience and by supporting others in their efforts as their guide, I know the payoffs ripple into and compliment many delightful results.
