Do you ever get a gut feeling that you should call a friend to find that they were having a hard time and needed you? "Synchronicity alters events to bring in more meaning." It is not a small happening or coincidence. For example, Chopra explains, "Two people meet, and one has the answer to a problem the other hasn't been able to solve, and in the process a tiny seed of an idea is given an enormous opportunity to grow." There is a greater power at work. When miracles occur in your life it is not a coincidence. Chopra says, "If pure chance were at work, the odds would be millions to one." In order to experience more of these synchronizations in your life, go where you are guided.
We all have a knowing and we can magnify our knowing if we want to. It's as easy as becoming conscious and aware of this knowing. Some call it intuition. This morning I got a light feeling to park in one spot than another. I don't know why but I trusted my knowing and parked in the spot that felt right at the time. Other times I have not trusted my knowing and things didn't go so well. It's your choice on whether you want to hear it and follow it. Synchronicity exists and it is powerful life force to bring more of what you want in your life.
Stay tuned for the next book, Awaken the Giant Within by Anthony Robbins. This book will teach us, "How to take immediate control of your mental, emotional, physical and financial destiny." How does it get better than that?

Taking Responsibility for Your Feelings
Is it possible to control your emotional outbursts? Do you even want to? Chopra, in The Soul of Leadership says that a great leader is able to control their feelings by being in touch with them. We all have automatic responses; anger to someone telling you 'no'; defiance when someone tells you what to do; frustration when you get cut off in traffic. Your reactions have been trained and there is a way to untrain them. A leader needs to take responsibility for their feelings.
Untraining your feelings means, first of all, noticing patterns. If you automatically respond by doubting for example, or by pushing away new things, if you cringe in the face of change or of new people suddenly appearing in your life, step back and notice your feelings. Then, wait and see, giving way to space. Most often the first response will fade away and your soul will begin to unfold it's feelings, explains Chopra. This gives rise to your natural response instead of your trained response.
I had to put this into practice so I just asked Nate to make me mad. (I know, I'm responsible for my feelings and no one can "make" me mad, but let's just go along with it, please?) He kicked the side of my leg. I was mad and startled for a second so I let that sit for a few seconds to see how I really feel to untrain my natural response of whining. It actually became funny to me! My true feelings were to take the situation light-heartedly. What in your life do you automatically respond to instead of waiting a second to figure out how you really feel?

Finding Your Strength
The Soul of Leadership, Deepak Chopra
Have you ever noticed how similar we all are? We all are great communicators, presenters, teachers, and healers. Right? Wait a second we are all similar but we are all very different also. This doesn't make one person better than another. We are all equal in regards to the human race. We all have strengths and weaknesses. Not one person has it all and this should be celebrated. Our differences are what make us unique and able to add our personal touch to this world. Be empowered by this and empower others!
Notice others strengths, as a leader, and emphasis those qualities in them such as if they loyal, responsible, task-oriented, a fixer, or persuasive. All of these strengths are important and you can empower that in others by letting them know their strengths. In The Soul of Leadership, Chopra says, "When you understand that everyone is the expression of a soul, you as a leader find joy in helping each individual uncover that truth."
My first job as an engineer my boss recognized that I have great people skills. I was able to gain the trust of my co-workers quickly and be genuine. He particularly liked this strength of mine because there was a lack of team work in the group. My addition helped to strengthen bonds between the group. Isn't that cool! How does it get any better than that?
