Open Opportunities come from Winning Proposals and Open Minds

Where would you choose to be if money, space and time were no object? What would you be doing, in that moment, and how would you be feeling?

Here is an image of a Zen Garden In Kyoto Japan. Thinking of something I hold a deep appreciation for, and an amazing sense of calm becomes a nice "mind opener". Curious that someone with such a love of art and order would find an appreciation in the simplicity and lovely contrast of zen gardening. I am a clutter nut by nature, so the idea of a Zen Garden is my place to go to dream, to think, to feel a gentle breeze, or orange blossom scent perfuming the air, as I just learn to be.. I like the notion and beauty of a well ordered, well planned zen garden- with a place and purpose for everything, and everything in it's symbolic place. Like life, the zen garden unfolds as an expression of time, where the care and order, the pruning and tending to the garden are part of that order, the harmony, and the beautiful balance.


An exercise for remaining open to learning and new opportunity: Practice from time to time, the beautiful lesson of emptying your mind, before filling it with thoughts of competing, winning, losing, or proposing change.. If your thoughts are on fear or flight, the beauty of this moment might miss you. There is joy and knowledge in how far you have come, what you can appreciate about this moment, and finding the empowerment to create new solutions.. Sometimes, however, the mind, like most computers, needs a "reboot" to clear away the items in "cache memory" and make room for more productive operation.

From a beginners mind, with an experts wisdom, we can not help but to create astounding potential. So go ahead, quiet your mind for just a moment..

• Stay in the moment, open to learning something new.
• Stay in the moment, accepting and even expecting change to happen.
• Accept this moment. Let it be..
