Embracing the Exuberance of Happy - Episode 102

“We should concern ourselves, not so much with the pursuit of happiness, but with the happiness of pursuit.” — Professor Coreman, from  the film “Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014) 
It’s human nature to want to be happy, but the question of where happiness comes from and why has caused human beings ponder for centuries. The film “Hector and the Search for Happiness” (2014), based on François Lelord’s novel of the same name, invites the viewer to join Hector (played by Simon Pegg), on his research quest to discover what makes people happy.
 
There are films out there that inspire and fill our hearts with joy because they help bring meaning to our lives by reminding of us our own exploration of what it means to be human. On this episode, Lisa and Michael share their joy and thoughts on this delightful film which invites the viewer to join Hector as he steps out of his comfort zone to embark on a larger than life adventure in search for happiness. In the movie, Hector learns a beautiful set of lessons and discovers insights that will lead to greater happiness which he records as a list in his notebook. 
We are so inspired by the meaningful message of this film that we wanted to share it with you. Hector in Search of Happiness invites us all to become increasingly aware of what does and does not bring us happiness. In the film, Hector searches the globe to find the secret of happiness which ultimately lies more in the contrast of what Hector believes happiness should be, to what happiness actually is. The film is a great reminder that happiness is about discovering what happiness means to you. Sometimes to find happiness for yourself you need to get a little lost, the journey is unique to you but this film is a wonderful invitation to start you on your own an amazing adventure to discovering your own happiness path. We encourage you to make the time to watch the film, and to make your own list of what happiness means to you. Focus on the opportunities that exist daily that are available to you to experience happiness; reflect upon your list, absorb the list, and adopt the principles into your quest to create the happy life you love to live. See every day as an opportunity to be happy, you deserve it!

Flow into the Stillness of the Mind - Episode 100

“The richness of present-moment experience is the richness of life itself. Too often we let our thinking and our beliefs about what we ‘know’ prevent us from seeing things as they really are.” ― John Kabat-Zinn
In today’s busy world, many of us have become a bit distracted by modern day stressors. We have become seemingly disconnected from our present moment awareness of ourselves and our environment. Join Lisa and Michael for a meaningful conversation on the importance of cultivating a practice of mindfulness in our lives. There is a gift in nurturing our ability to be fully present in the moment, by being aware of what is around us. Siddhartha author, Herman Hesse, wrote, “Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself.” Allowing ourselves to pay attention to what we’re sensing in the present moment without judging our thoughts and feelings can free us from our memories of the past or our imaginings of our future. Mindfulness has countless positive benefits on both our physical and mental health by decreasing stress, anxiety, and depression levels, as well as improving our relationships, insights, and job performance. Practicing mindfulness through a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment may take patience but when we become fully immersed in and at one with the present moment we experience a richer and more vivid experience of the gift of being alive.

Wow! That’s Interesting. - Episode 99

“A physicist visits a colleague and notices a horseshoe hanging on the wall above the entrance. ‘Do you really believe that a horseshoe brings luck?’ he asks. ‘No,’ replies the colleague, ‘but I’ve been told that it works even if you don’t believe in it.” ― Niels Bohr, Quantum Physicist
The modern world presents us with some interesting new ways new opportunities for growth on a daily basis. The choices available to us are seemingly endless. These choices may bring with them emotions of excitement, joy, curiosity, satisfaction or perhaps the opposite feelings of apprehension, fear or loss. Regardless of the choice we make these emotions, whether conscious or unconscious are being fed into the quantum field that we are a part of.  Join Lisa and Michael as they explore how to cultivate good feeling within so that we can use those emotions to law-of-attract greater things. One of our greatest challenges is to learn to love, trust and appreciate the decisions we have made, no matter what the outcome. Discover how placing our conscious awareness on loving all parts of our life without judgment allows us to draw in that which we are wanting.  
We will be sharing our thoughts on the ocean of abundance, from which we draw and add, to that is available to each of us. The key is in recognizing the quantity and quality of our unconscious thoughts. As Lynn McTaggert, author of The Field wrote, “We need to realize that we are observers and creators, and in every moment that we are observing our world, we’re constantly remaking it at every instant, and that we have to understand too that every last thought we have, every judgment we hold, is having an effect whether it’s conscious or not. So of course the most important thing of all is to be aware of what we are thinking and to realize it has an effect on the world around us.” Wow! That’s interesting.

Opportunity to Transform - Episode 98

“The more you see yourself as what you’d like to become, and act as if what you want is already there, the more you’ll activate those dormant forces that will collaborate to transform your dream into your reality.” ― Wayne Dyer
At some time in our lives, each of us has questioned how we feel about ourselves, our life and our future. It is natural process of growing and developing our value system of defining what is important to us. In the busy-ness of caring for others, we can forget that we have needs. We can become disconnected from our sovereign self. We forget that we are capable, courageous, lovable, worthy, whole and that we are enough. Join Lisa and Michael as they explore what it mean to reclaim our own power and transform our life. Lao-Tsu, Chinese philosopher and author of the Tao Te Ching, wrote that, “Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”
We will be discussing how to draw in opportunities to transform our life through separating from the past, reclaiming our purpose and restoring our inner peace in the present. We can reclaim and reconnect to our own inner knowing to be the sovereign of our own lives. From Wayne Dyer, “We are never given the power to dream without the equivalent power to manifest that dream and make it your physical reality.” Our opportunity to transform awaits us all!
Please take a moment to breathe in this inspiring wisdom from Marianne Williamson.
Our Deepest Fear Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God.
Your playing small, Does not serve the world. There’s nothing enlightened about shrinking, So that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, As children do. We were born to make manifest The glory of God that is within us.
It’s not just in some of us; It’s in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we’re liberated from our own fear, Our presence automatically liberates others.

Life Lessons on Falling Forward - Episode 97

“It is impossible to live without failing at something unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.” ― J.K. Rowling
No great success was ever achieved without failure. Like it or not, all of us have had the experience of failure at some point in our lives. Even a baby crawls before they can walk and in the process of learning to walk, babies stumble and fall many times over. The simple truth is we all fall, we all make mistakes and during the course of our lives we will all experience our share of failures. 
Join Lisa and Michael as they explore the life lessons of falling forward, how trying at anything and failing helps us grow as individuals. This week’s show was inspired by Denzel Washington’s 2011 commencement speech that he delivered at Penn University offering valuable advice on embracing failure. Denzel encouraged the graduates to “Fail big. Do something you are passionate about . . . and don’t be afraid to fail big. If you don’t fail, you’re not even trying.” He went on to say, “I don’t want to fall back on anything . . . If I am going to fall, I want to fall forward. I figured t least this way I can see what I am going to hit.” His advice on Falling Forward as a means of setting, achieving goals and obtaining success can serve as inspiration for each of us to look at failure differently.  Inspirational writer Zig Ziglar wrote that, “It’s not how far you fall, but how high you bounce that counts.” It is our ability to bounce back or to fall forward that affords us the opportunity to create a future that otherwise would not happen. We invite you to redefine failure as a necessary step to success. When we find the courage to try, regardless if we fail in our attempt, it opens the door to amazing new beginnings!

The Joy of Reunion - Episode 96

“There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.” –  Nelson Mandela
Every reunion is unique and precious, whether it be a meeting with friends, family, classmates or co-workers. Reunions are important celebrations of roots, meaningful relationships and traditions that give us the chance to reconnect with our own history and values.
On this episode Lisa and Michael will be exploring how being reunited with people from out past can help us better understand who we are and how we got to where we are today. Reunions reinforce our common bonds, renews our friendships, and invigorates an appreciation of what’s uniquely wonderful about our being connected despite how life’s different but parallel journey has taken us on different paths. Reunions can revive our sense of belonging, give us pride in where we come from and help us to feel affirmed in knowing who we are. The connection of a reunion handshake or a shared hug can open an opportunity to add new memories to the precious experiences we have shared over the years. The simple joy of reunion is that it reminds us not only to celebrate the past  but to give time to what and who we value in the present, connecting with love to our friends, classmates and family while they are still here is a beautiful gift.

Drawing On Your Life For Inspiration - Episode 93

“There’s a voice in the universe calling each of us to remember our purpose-our reason for being here now, in this world of impermanence. The voice whispers, shouts, and sings to us that this experience of being in form, in space and time, knowing life and death, has meaning. The voice is that of inspiration, which is within each and every one of us.” ― Wayne Dyer
The word inspiration is derived from the Latin word “inspirare,” meaning to “breathe into.” Each of us has the ability to allow ourselves to draw in a breath, and open up our awareness to the possibilities, without limitations, that lie before us. Author Mandy Hale said it best, “You don’t always need a plan. Sometimes you just need to breathe, trust, let go and see what happens.”
Inspiration helps us generate new ideas, energizes us and opens us up to feeling that we can create anything. But how do we connect to what inspires us? On this week’s show, Lisa is joined by artist, musician, creator James Bristol, founder of Warrior Windows and Earthworm Arts. Lisa and James take a deep dive into how each one of us has the ability to have to draw on our lives for inspiration. We will be discussing how opening our hearts to allowing ourselves to truly see, enables us to find inspiration all around us. For each of us there exists an endless supply of amazing things in our everyday world. When we draw inspiration from our lives it can guide us on an intuitive path to discovering not only who we want to become but also it can also enable us to take the first step toward creating something meaningful and achieving something that truly matters to us.
James Bristol is a visionary creator, explorer of the unseen and founder of Warrior Windows and Earthworm Arts.. He has the ability to find inspiration in the tiniest of parts of the world and bring forth beauty from things and places that have been forgotten or disregarded.
