How will you write the story of 2010?

There is no doubt that we are predisposed to create or experience what we put our attention on. If the life story you have already written is working well, then you probably want to create more of the same and explore how to continue to evolve. If you don't like the story you are living in, then it is worth considering how you want to re-write it. What's working? What would you change or do differently? What would you really like to experience as your life?

I am not talking about magical thinking or the happy-lah-lah winning the lottery but where you are heading with your life's journey, why that is important, the principles you live by and what you want to be, do and have. Your goals and plans for 2010 will be largely influenced by your attention: where your are directing it, it's quality and whether it is deliberate or default. Your attention will inform you about the psychological drivers - the limiting or liberating beliefs and values - that that affect your actions and your effectiveness in achieving those goals.

So while I am not against winning the lottery, the subtext of that is, that we don't have enough. Then what do we tend to attract or create..... that we don't have enough.... and we become blind to seeing other possibilities. The 'not enough' belief is pretty common in mass consciousness and a big driver of the desire to want more stuff. Not to mention that we become blind to the fact that maybe it is not more stuff that we need. In an age where it is rapidly becoming an imperative to live and work more sustainably - personally, environmentally, socially, spiritually and economically, perhaps it is the time to redefine what is important and how we really go about creating it.

In my work as a social change agent this year I will be focusing on:

• Helping people - individuals, communities and organisations re-write their story
• Programs to live and work more sustainably
• Courses and resources to become better leaders, managers and facilitators
• Working well together
  
• Empowering women to develop their own style of leadership
• New courses on Ecological Intelligence and Spiritual Ecology
  

Other events for the first part of the year are a regional Transition Towns conference and working with Tim Cotter on his brilliant course for sustainability advocates on cultivating sustainability. Another exciting stream of work to watch out for is the Zenergy Facilitator Training coming to Australia. More on all that later.....
