Be a Model: Reveal Your EssenceWritten by Louise Morganti Kaelin
As part of a workshop assignment, I was recently asked to identify 3 qualities that I would choose to model for others. Within a very few moments, I had my answer: compassion, respect, and wholeness. This reverberated with me so strongly that I soon realized that if I were able to live these three qualities to their fullest expression, I would be 'in' integrity with essence of my being. These were very heart of my core values and talked louder of who I am than anything I had come across before. Stronger than I can remember, they seem to answer question of Who Am I? and Why am I here? I soon experimented with some of my clients. Their answers included: (1) sharing, self-expression, intelligence; (2) dedication, loyalty, intelligence and (3) creativity, love, enthusiasm. All different. All extremely expressive of individuals who chose them. In each case, answers took just a few moments to come up with. In each case, individual involved felt that this was essence of who they were. They also felt energized and powerful. This is one of those exciting discoveries that I want to share with everyone. No matter what you're struggling with, getting in touch with those three qualities seems to have effect of lifting you above situation. It lifts you up to a place where alternatives - choices - are visible. And once we're in choice, we stop being victims and claim power to create reality we want.

We all know what it's like to want for things, both tangible and intangible. It is often first step in moving from where we are to where we want to be. Wanting 'for' someone else, however, is a powerful concept, both for you and other person. 'Wanting for' another person transcends everyday experience and touches soul of both individuals, evoking our inner wisdom and connection to Universe. If we are doing 'wanting', it lifts us up out of ourselves and comes from that cleanest, purest part of ourselves. If we are being 'wanted for', it can make us feel cared for, heard, loved. Both are potent feelings. Here are 10 extremely powerful 'want fors'. If you want them for others, remember to add their name after 'you' in each statement. Also bear in mind that they are a gift from you to them. You receive delight in pure giving, not in how it is received. The other person is at liberty to accept, decline, or ignore it. 1. What I want for you is to experience true richness of life 2. What I want for you is to savor each and every moment of your day
