52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 23-What We Are Not Distinguishes What We Are

February 25th, 2010 by Kathleen

‘A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.’…Aviator, adventurer, & author, Antoine de Saint-Exup’ery

In a commitment to inquiry, exploration, and discovery, we give ourselves access to initial recognition of what we are NOT.  This recognition and the acknowledgment of what we see is key to continual distinguishing of what we ARE.  As we ‘take away’  – eliminate what we are NOT, we move closer to our individual core – to the perfection of what we ARE for ourSelf, with Other, in the World.  These three windows of ‘I am’ frame our individual resonant potential, give us a context for intimate deliberate listening, and ultimately transform the words we say to create the yearning we experience.

Within each one of us lies our capacity in the world.  At the level of resonance, we know this potential and we can articulate its name.  It is not available through intellect.  Only direct experience provides this revelation.  We are charged with living inquiry, with opening to exploration, with allowing discovery.  The question is the key.

This week’s living question – our question to live is part of the process of distinguishing each person’s expression of resonant potential in the world:   

In the world, what am I NOT?

52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 22-Realization Or Outcome?

February 15th, 2010 by Kathleen

‘A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him’…Soren Kiekegaard

Realization OR Outcome?  … Both.  One is linked to the other.

RealizationOutcome is the conversion of what is real internally in essence into embodiment externally in expression.  In EveryBody and EveryThing, Outcome is the perfect expression of  Realization.  The integration is complete.  In externalization, expression only has the appearance of being separate.  In actuality, it is ‘Realization-Come-Out’ – ‘Outcome’.  This coming out of what is within is perfect observable evidence of the state of Realization.

No thing in itself, Outcome is the captured experience of Realization given expression.  As with all elements of the Blueprint we each are, RealizationOutcome is an aspect of the InfiniteFulfillment of me and you.

This week’s living question – our question to live is part of the process of distinguishing RealizationOutcome in each person’s QuintessentialYou Blueprint:

What realization would impact all my outcomes?

InfiniteFulfillment Week 21/52 Check-In: What Is Authentically Yours To Accomplish?

February 15th, 2010 by Kathleen

What is authentically mine to accomplish?

Fulfillment and freedom are authentically mine to accomplish…..and yours.  This fulfillment and freedom is in the unique design of each one of us.  Hence, it is articulated and expressed distinctly through life experience, activity and circumstance.

Our collective task is collaboration with every expression, regardless of how it shows up.

My individual task is surrender to what is in integrity with me, my only access to being paid well for living life.

This surrender is not trite or invented.  It is innate.  It is what the essence of me calls forward.  It is imperative to the fulfillment and freedom of what is fundamental to quintessential me.  Revelation comes in part from awareness of my history – my story, and its impact on me.  It is there in what I remember and how I experience what I remember.  It informs the commitment that I am.  It lives also in what I desire and my capacity to surrender to the very core – the essence of that desire versus any singular version of its expression.

The magic is in the revelation of what is authentically mine and yours to accomplish.  It is registered within, waiting for our individual recognition and acknowledgment… waiting to do its part in the expansion of each individual life.

Discover your Blueprint – Articulate what is authentically yours to accomplish.  Reveal the key to this very accomplishment.

52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 21-Experience Your CommitmentDesire

February 9th, 2010 by Kathleen

‘There is nothing capricious in nature and the implanting of a desire indicates that its gratification is in the constitution of the creature that feel it.’….Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet & Essayist

View CommitmentDesire in the QuintessentialYou Blueprint here.  Note each of the elements in red:  QYouBlueprintCommitmentDesire

CommitmentDesire is inherent in the design of EveryBody and EveryThing.   Commitment is simultaneously the way into Desire and its ultimate fulfillment.  In this sense, Commitment guarantees Desire and Desire demands collaboration with Commitment.  Each is integral to other.

Desire calls for presence and acknowledgement.  Commitment calls forth the state of being in which Desire flourishes and expands.  CommitmentDesire is in an ever-evolving relationship.

Much simpler than we have been lead to believe, this relationship is universal, forever integrating these two elements for the exquisite, impeccable and perfect expression of CommitmentDesire right now.

Intimate to the process of InfiniteFulfillment, CommitmentDesire is embedded in our history and in our future.

InfiniteFulfillment Week 20/52 Check-In: What Is Intolerable To You?

February 5th, 2010 by Kathleen

What is intolerable to me?

I saw something new about PassionPurpose as I lived this question this week.  There is a subtle difference in how I have held Purpose and a new understanding of how Passion is continually connected to what is intolerable to me.  Surprisingly, I noticed it in the routine tasks of life and my approach to them.

For the longest time, I held my intolerance for mediocrity as a resistance to the condition itself.  This week, I experienced something new as I allowed the question: ‘What is intolerable to me?’ to permeate my life and activities.  I didn’t realize it until I sat down to enter this blogpost – It is NOT the mediocrity itself which initiates my attention and triggers.  It is response to the ordinary and mundane that raises my ‘irk’ meter.  On first thought, this might not seem significant, but this recognition has made an immediate and I think lasting difference to my experience.

I see the opportunity for excelling and beauty in ways I hadn’t acknowledged before.  They were always there – active but with no awareness on my part.  As a result, I have a new relationship to the mundane – to raising mediocrity through my response to it.  For me, the following quote from Wallace Wattles writing in the early 1900’s captures this notion: ‘…remember that in acting upon your present environment, you must make every act a success in itself;’

This makes perfect sense from the perspective of  the PassionPurpose element in my own QuintessentialYou Blueprint.

How is your PassionPurpose connected and active in day-to-day existence?  What are the elements of the Blueprint that is quintessential you?

52 Weeks of InfiniteFulfillment: Week 20-Experience Your PassionPurpose

February 2nd, 2010 by Kathleen

“We are designed to transcend… It is that mystery which pertains to common humanity…. Therefore, you will never have to ignite your passion to be whole.  The passion is in you already.  It is your birthright.”…John O’Donohue, Beauty: The Invisible Embrace

View PassionPurpose in the QuintessentialYou Blueprint here.  Note each of the elements in red:  QYouBlueprintPassionPurpose

Passion keeps alive what it is we are fervent about and sustains those places where we always get results.

Purpose is a moment to moment thing.  It calls us to expand to be with what is externalized and surrender to it.  No matter what.

PassionPurpose is constant and constantly evolving.  We can halt our seeking.  PassionPurpose is inherent.  It is active in your life and mine right now and continuously.  There is no escaping PassionPurpose.  We cannot.  Passion and Purpose are linked, each impacting the other with the slightest movement of either one.

Active in our present day-to-day lives, PassionPurpose calls us to be our best in the face of what is here now, what we are doing now, what we have now.  The inquiries that distinguish PassionPurpose are different than what we might expect.  Intimate to the process of InfiniteFulfillment, these inquiries have us look beyond the usual questions of passion or purpose.

This week’s living question – our question to live is part of the process of distinguishing the PassionPurpose of each person’s QuintessentialYou Blueprint:

In a word, what is intolerable to me?
