THE PATH IS CLEAR by Irene Becker
JUST JOY WORDS OF PASSION, PURPOSE AND POTENTIAL FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 8TH, 2006
THE PATH IS CLEAR © 2006 Irene Becker
We can run, we can hide, but we can’t escape the velocity of change
And yet the more things change, and the greater the complexity of our lives,
The clearer the path.
Because, our world has become like a narrow bridge…a bridge that is wobbling under the strain of the same unremitting need, greed and ego that has felled every fiefdom, empire and recently toppled once great corporations.
And, today, in an era of where the technology and knowledge at our disposal are greater than ever before, the World Health Organization forecasts that stress will be the major cause of disability by the year 2020.
The war for talent is ongoing, and the human and financial costs and casualties of our epidemic of stress continue to skyrocket.
For, today we each fight a silent war to reclaim the values, ignite the faith and engage the potential that can help us build better lives, better businesses and contribute to a better world at the speed of change.
A silent war that is eroding the quality of our lives, our workplaces, our leadership and adding to lives of quiet desperation that are so consumed with living faster and working harder than ever before that we forget that life is a gift to be cherished and savoured.
It is time to take back the power that is found in expressing our unique potential; and the joy that is realized in embracing our values regardless of our circumstances.
For while many of us feel that we are living in the worst of times….
The very changes, challenges and even crucibles we face can help us create the best of times.
And, while many of us feel powerless, we are not!
Because, the greatest power we possess lies in aligning the power of our heads with the strength of our hearts.
For when we can recognize that we are one people, sharing one planet,
We can discover that the basic human truths and universal values guide all good men and women, in different ways and through different paths.
And, we can start to use the changes we face to realize the power and joy within and to to heal, rebuild and restore
Our best selves, best work, and our best world
One woman, one man, one values driven step at a time.
The path is clear.
