Replying to LO29712 --
Dear Steve
I would like to commend you on the way you asked for help. It tells me with
great clarity:
1. who you are (and where to find you)
2. What you are doing and have done
3. What you want (with examples)
4. Why you want it and what you are going to do with it.
Besides the above you show a wholesome degree on anticipatory greatfulness
that motivates me to contibute, in fact it almost passes as a good direct
mailshot (it merely misses the prefunctory PS) I think others (in future)
should follow your example. Best wishes and good luck.

PS - The examples of those simple things that we all do that are
essential to expressing and maintaining our values as we face life's ups
and downs - follows:
Joel Barker in his video Leadershift deals with an example of what he
calls 'Making winners out of life's losers' referring to the
Delanceystreet rehabilitation centre in San Francisco. From this i
developed an approach for this year (2002) that really made a huge
difference in my life. The slogan: If you don't win I don't win!
It is so much better than just looking or waiting for the proverbial
win-win solution. I means that i begin by realising that nothing is going
to happen if i don't get off my butt. It is proactive anf not passive. It
creates free energy instead of reducing me to being a free energy vampire.
Come to think of it the archives of this LO is probably one of the best
repositories of the type of examples you are looking for that you will
ever find. At de Lange's classical piece on Treasure Maps is a good place
to start.
