You can make a difference!

Dear friends,

Following up on our theme of change in the new year, here is a short story for you illustrating the difference you can make to yourself and the world if you change your attitude:

While walking along a beach at dawn an old man saw a boy picking a starfish up off the sand and throwing them back into the sea. He caught up to the boy and asked him what he was doing. The boy replied that the starfish would die if left exposed on the sand after sunrise.

"But this beach goes on for miles," the old man said. "There must be thousands of starfish stranded on the sand. What difference will it make just to save a few?"



The boy looked at the starfish he was holding in his hand, then threw it onto the surf.

"Well, for THAT starfish it makes a big difference!"



Change is in your hands....

Happy new change?

Dear friends,

Yoshi Kalpa said "change is possible" and in fact wrote an endearing and thought provoking little book on the subject of  personal change, what propels it and what holds us back from making much needed changes.

In December we all feel that pressure to make life changing resolutions. We scramble to prepare a new years resolutions list of things we hope to achieve (with the best of intentions). But how many of us have forgotten that list and those plans, barely two weeks after celebrating a new year?

How about choosing one positive change you would like to make over the course of the next two months? And once you have decided on that, ideintify someone with whom you can share your goal for motiviation and support.

Change is scary, exciting and above all, necessary. But you don't have to do it alone. Let us at Southern Consultants accompany you on this adventure or time of transition in your life. Check back on our blog for updates and news on positive change we can make in our lives, be it spiritual, intellectual, physical or emotional.

Happy new changes to you in 2012!
