No matter what hardships happen in life, there is always a gift within for our Higher Good. Recognizing the gift often takes shifting one's perspective in order to see it. Melinda will give us insight on how to do so. This time, in speaking about gratitude and finding the beauty in what's been broken, Melinda uses the analogy of 'kintsugi'. Kintsugi, which means joining with gold, is a Japanese art form in which broken ceramics are repaired by using a bonding material made with gold. Since no two objects shatter in the same way, the result of each repaired item is beautifully unique. Just as 'kintsugi' transforms broken pottery into a one-of-a-kind piece of art, gratitude allows us to see the beauty that arises from overcoming our individual challenges. Both teach us that beauty can be found in the midst of brokenness, and that there is strength and resilience in acknowledging and honoring our past struggles. Just as the practice of 'kintsugi' creates a more valuable item than before, so does gratitude shift our focus to recognizing and appreciating our distinctive, precious selves.
Life is a gift, and we are here to enjoy life and be successful: It is our birthright. Adrian Emery's belief that the ability to flow is skill, like any other and can be learnt, can be mastered and will make all the difference as to how well you enjoy your life and how successful you will be in achieving your personal goals and ambitions. Moreover, the flow is real, is tangible and is an inherent part of life. In fact, the flow is life itself. It is the energy of the universe in constant motion. The flow is not something elusive, mystical, abstract and hard to achieve. It is your birthright. We all have to own our flow. It is your life energy, your fate, your destiny and your purpose. It is the thing that carries you through life. Adrian will share his LifeWorks Philosophy and 'The 7 Principles of Flow'.
