Yesterday I learned that one of my best friends that I knew when I was going in college has passed away.
Ever since I came back to Ottawa, and even before then, I had been thinking about my friend Marc. I’m not sure why.
Then this past weekend I was going through some old papers I had stored away at my parents place and I came across his parents address. So I looked them up and they were still living in the same place. I gave them a call and spoke to his father and he told me that Marc had passed away 6 years ago.
It’s such a shock to find out that someone I was really close to at one time in my life is now gone. I’m not sure why I wanted to connect with him again but it’s very sad and frustrating not to be able to. I also feel guilty that I didn’t do it sooner. In fact, quite a few years ago he had contacted me and we visited for a few minutes. It was a time in my life when I was struggling to figure out my identity and unfortunately I wasn’t very present to him and afterwords I didn’t keep in touch.
I regret not being able to be a better me at the time and I figured out last night that I have to be the best me I can be at all times and to really make an effort to enjoy every moment that I have. Just like the saying goes, enjoy every moment as if it were your last.
Rest in peace Marc and I truly wish, no… I know that you are at peace now.
Peace and love,
Elle

Today’s Topic – DISTINCTION: Floundering vs. Stuck (Distinctions are subtleties of language that, when gotten, cause a shift in a belief, behavior, value or attitude.)
It may seem odd to be glad you’re floundering since it sounds like a place you wouldn’t want to be. But there is a world of difference between floundering and stuck.
Stuck is frozen, no options, at the effect-of, unhappy. A classic victim place.
When you are floundering you may also be unhappy, have no clear sense of direction, and not want to be where you are. But you are trying things. You’re in action, maybe without visible traction, but you’re doing something. And you have the clarity that “this isn’t it.”
Flounder-ers are exploring and looking for something better. Stuck-ers can feel resigned to their fate.
You can, if you choose to, smile even as you flounder, enjoying the discovery process. A person who feels stuck is rarely smiling.
Coaching Point: Who can help you move past floundering, to clarity, quicker?

I’m posting a copy of today’s newsletter by my friend Steve Straus.
I met Steve at a Peak Potentials seminar called The Worlds Greatest Marketing Seminar. On a side note, I recommend any Peak Potentials seminar.
Steve is a delightful man and very wise. I receive his 3-minute coaching and get a piece of wisdom about once a week. I really enjoy reading what he has to say and I wanted to share some of his wisdom with you here today. I strongly urge you to subscribe to his newsletter. Enjoy and thanks Steve.
Peace and love, Elle.

Today’s Topic – PRINCIPLE: Change the Beginning
(Principles are basic truths that, when applied,
cause success to come to you easier and quicker.)
Would you agree that when you begin something it causes
outcomes to occur? This is true whether the beginning is to
do or not to do something. Outcomes always follow beginnings.
So, what if you are in the middle of an outcome which is not
desirable? What to do?
Change the beginning.
No, that does not mean go back in time and make a change.
It does mean to learn from what has transpired as a result
of the original beginning and then realize that right now
is a new beginning. In order to get a different outcome,
change your current beginning.
It’s easy to believe that the course you’re on (as a result
of a previous beginning) must continue to play out. Not so.
Always be willing to change your beginning, the actions you
take or don’t take right now.
It’s difficult to change the past. It’s easy to change to a
new beginning.
Coaching Point: What is one thing which is not going the way
you want it to? What new beginning can you change?

Every year at this time I choose a theme for the next year. A theme is like a pair of colored glasses that you wear all year long to guide and inspire you. I’m really excited to announce that my theme for 2010 is…
drum roll please…
“Magical Moments“
I can’t wait!
Take a few moments to choose your theme and why not share it with me in the comments.
I wish you and yours a spendid holiday season and a joyous, prosperous, healthy and magical 2010!
