How Do You Measure Success?Written by David McGimpsey

Fred's children would much prefer he was a failed widget salesrep that was good at helping them with their homework. Fred's wife would much prefer he didn't always make bonus and occasionally lingered over a romantic dinner with her. He doesn't need to be good at homework or dinner, he just needs to be there. The trouble with success is we've become so fixated with being super human work junkies, we've forgotten what really matters most- being successful in our lives and relationships with our family and friends. My advice is, next time you consider success, consider whether you're giving your family and friends all they need emotionally.

| | Go On ! Give your Enemy a HugWritten by Robina Hearle
Continued from page 1
When you find yourself angry, sad, miserable, jealous, guilty – beside yourself with an emotion so that you don’t know what to do, picture that child and hug him/her. This is called transforming emotion. You are changing energy from negative to positive so to speak. Emotions are energy- energy in motion. You can’t get rid of energy- only transform it. Your enemy, that person who drives you up wall, lights blue touch paper for you [remember you may do same for them]-change it! Take responsibility and decide to make things better. Hug your enemy and see what happens next time you meet. ‘Those who would control you are those who are afraid they have no control. Those who lust after power are those who fear powerlessness. Those who would steal are in fear of lack. Those who would torment and torture are those who, indeed are tortured and tormented. Beloved, have compassion for their fear. As you may, without judgement, enfold these ones into your heart, indeed you will change reality’ [P’Taah,’ The Gift’ by Jani King]
