'We accumulate barnacles, or layers of paint, which
mask our purpose or constrain our personality. After some number of years, we
might have survived – maybe even done very well – but in many ways we have
numbed or forgotten what led us here, why we are on this journey and most
importantly, who we are?’ Redefining

Another "Purpose Huddle" with beautiful people this past weekend at Grotto Bay:
From Knowing to Doing to Being...
Some of the concepts we worked on:
- Thinking Styles
- Awareness
- Perspective
- Ambiguity and paradoxes
- Personal Contracts
- Purpose Statements
I always walk away from these weekends feeling profoundly affected by how we underestimate ourselves and how we are able to cause effects in the world, leaving it, in some way, better than we found it.

Every
human heartbeat is a universe of possibilities. Every human has the opportunity
to transform their own fate. I’d always thought that fate was something
unchangeable: fixed for every one of us at birth, and as constant as the
circuit of the stars. But life is stranger and more beautiful than that. The
truth is that, no matter where you find yourself, no matter how good or bad the situation, you
can change your life completely, with a single thought or a single act of love.”
