Your Creative Life

Are There Successes or Failures?

Soon after the previous post, I got a letter from the community college that stated that the participants had objected to the course, that they had not gotten what the course had promised and that the community college was refunding their money.

After experiencing the initial disappointment, I practiced letting go or releasing, as provided in The Sedona Method by Hale Dwoskin. I was able to write a thank you email to the community college which thanked them for the opportunity to present the class. I learned and gained from the experience that there is no success or failure from any event unless I attach one.  The experience also helped me focus on what is the contribution I want to make as it applies to change and its processes.

Fear of Change

I recently conducted a workshop at my local community college. I had designed and subsequently presented said workshop, titled "What is Getting in the Way of the Life You Want?"

The purpose of the workshop was to take time to notice habits that no longer serve and are causing unnecessary pain. Six participants actually showed up. As did I.

I don't know if the workshop changed lives and I can only hope that the participants came away with something.

What I gained from the experience was what each participant brought. The common thread was that each was experiencing some kind of change in their lives and were looking for some answers about how to negotiate the change and ease the pain.

At 64 years in retrospect the constant has always been change and how to survive it.
