Pray
Outside the Box
In my seminars I lead an exercise
called "My Ideal Day." If you were participating, I would
ask you to take a piece of paper and write down in detail the most
wonderful day you can imagine. The only requirement...
Take What You Have and Make What You
Want
A sneak preview of Alan Cohen's new book, Mr. Everit's Secret:
What I learned from the World's Richest Man. This fascinating
prosperity parable chronicles the relationship between a young man
who is trying to find himself, and a seasoned mentor who changes
his life in more ways than he can imagine.
Happy and Hungry
"I don't need any more money," Mr. Everit shrugged his
shoulders. "I have enough."
His statement jarred me; I'd never heard anyone say they had enough
money. Even the wealthiest people I know always need more. Some
of the few millionaires I've met were bigger whiners than people
on food stamps. It seems that people who think they don't have enough,
never get it, and people who think they have enough, never miss
it. More...
The
Ending Doesn’t Matter ~ by Alan Cohen
It is easy to be seduced by the idea that how things turn out is
more important than what happens in the process. Manifestations,
as desirable as they are, are by-products of the soul qualities
that are developed in quest of the goal. The real question is not
“How did it turn out?” The question is, “What happened to
your spirit as you journeyed?”
You Already Know ~ by Alan
Cohen
When I studied organizational development in graduate school, my
professor wrote a sentence on the blackboard that ultimately meant
more to me than all the techniques I learned. It said: A consultant
is someone who borrows your watch to tell you what time it is.
I Can't Believe It's Not Buddha
~ by Alan Cohen
Every situation is an opportunity to find God; indeed our entire
purpose here is to find God in as many different forms as possible.
A poet once declared, "God is a flower that grew a nose to smell
Itself."
The Complete Genius ~ by
Alan Cohen
The more you are who you are, the more your genius comes forth.
On the other hand, the more you sell out and try to be what you
think you should be or live up to others’ expectations, the more
you stifle your brilliance.
Awakening To Your Path ~
by Alan Cohen
There is a great wave of awakening that cannot be denied, suppressed
or reversed. Those who align with the expansion are empowered and
uplifted by a Force much larger than themselves. And those who resist
or oppose it are gripped in only deeper struggle.
Healing Allowed ~ by Alan
Cohen
Healing can happen anywhere, in any way, under any circumstances,
through any person or avenue. The universe is always trying to deliver
well-being to us. There are no obstacles outside of us. The only
obstacle is our own resistance to it.
Don't Follow Me ~ by Alan
Cohen
How wonderful it feels--and how powerfully it works--to regard ourselves
and each other as innately wise, capable of accomplishing anything
we choose, greater than any task or challenge before us. Wouldn’t
you like to be regarded as magnificent?
