My response is... I can't.
Because how can you fix something that isn't broken?
I have something that I want to share with you... and this is what I tell my clients....
You are NOT broken nor can you EVER be broken.
You can feel lost, you can lose hope, you may have moments of confusion. But you're not broken and you definitely don't need someone else to fix you.
Your life is like a jigsaw puzzle with a million pieces that need to be put together. There are times when nothing seems to be fitting together quite right but would you ever call a jigsaw puzzle broken?
Now, you're jigsaw puzzle might look like nothing but a pile of peices right now. But don't get frustrated. Get inspired. Because soon you will see the big picture ;)

By reading, we can unlock our true potential at earth-shattering speeds.

When we allow ourselves to be immersed in new ideas and foreign concepts, we expose our minds to a new way of thinking.  These new perspectives help us gain a competitive advantage over others - and the best part about it, is reading is virtually free! (other than our time of course ;-) )

If you saw my post a few days ago about being able to personally meet and share the stage with the Dalai Lama, you know about the Engage Today 2009 Conference, recently held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

I can honestly tell you, this was the event of the DECADE.

There were so many great and inspiring moments at the event, but the powerful video below features some of the best moments and the incredible speakers at the event, including His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, Dr. Stephen R. Covey, Tony Hsieh, Lynne Twist, Les Brown, Greg Habstritt, Vishen Lakhiani, Carol Cone, F.W. deKlerk, Greg Mooers, Janet Attwood, Wyland, Garrett Gunderson, Eben Pagan, and ME! :) The video also features the musical theme of Engage Today, written by Paul Hoffman and William Lane.

Lets all think about how we can make a contribution to better the world we live in.

Peace,

Sean

I have been so excited to share this with you...

Guess what!?

A dream of mine JUST came true!

While at the Engage Today event in Calgary, Alberta last month, I got to meet the Dalai Lama! It was SO awesome! He is one of the most compassionate and kind souls I have ever met.

Here's the whole story of how we met:
