Meeting Dr. Deepak Chopra

The Secret of living a fulfilling and peaceful life is Happiness

I saw Dr. Chopra yesterday and he tied together a lot of the philosophies I have.  People that have been following his work know that he is an Internist.  He recognized that he would have two patients with an identical illness, of identical age, and given the same identical treatment.  It puzzled him that one patient would live, while the other died.  He asked Why? 

This led to the social science of mind-body-spirit that is now common practice. 

Dr. Chopra said that when your examining your life, or an illness, or any other problem you may face it is important to ask why.  When you find the answer to why?  Keep asking why? Ultimately the reason why we do anything is because we want to be happy.

When we are happy, we attract opportunity, love, prosperity, and move through life with passion and purpose.  

We are all interconnected so here is a little exercise  to get you on the road to positive transformation:

Make someone else happy.  

When we make someone else happy and give a little bit, we in turn feel happy.  

Giving and Sharing creates long lasting happiness rather than one of self induced happiness such as drinking a glass of wine or eating a fine meal.

A long hard day .....

Today was a weird day! 

The best part was setting up Skype and feeling like I was on a George Jetson phone talking to Edie. 

I tried to get to the beach, but parking was impossible.  We gave up and headed home because we actually went to a BBQ earlier today.  Had a great time playing with a dog, a cat, and a bunny!

More importantly, I got to share with a lot of people today why I went into direct sales as an Independent Rep with North American Power.  Last fall I started researching how I could transition as a Program Analyst/Manager with a background in Supply Chain to a green job.  The sad reality I found was that they seem to only have positions for engineers, research and development, and sales.  All of the sales jobs seem to be commission based.  It makes sense since all of the company assets are in R&D.

I saw some ads for a few different companies looking for energy brokers.  There wasn't a bad company out there, but I chose to represent North American because I believe in the firm on so many levels. First and foremost they are the only company out there working with energy brokers who is an energy supplier and not a third party wholesaler of green energy.

Before I jumped in, they launched a program of social responsibility called Mission to Millions.  Simply, I liked the idea of saving money on my utilities bills AND having a dollar of my monthly bill go to a very reputable charity,

 Then I learned I could set up a charity in a fundraiser and help them reach out to their supporters.  They would receive a monthly check for that organization.  This includes fundraising for organizations that are typically not non-profit status such as a team league that may want to defray costs for uniforms. 

Then it got better, I learned the company was looking to promote a national program, allowing everyone to share in clean energy.  Then I learned it was happening July 16, 2011 just a few weeks away.

The next set of good surprises is that Deepak Chopra is on board, exited about a company that is this positive with promoting social responsibility, and all of the clean energy is MADE IN AMERICA CREATING AMERICAN JOBS.

I think this is a huge opportunity for everyone to start promoting positive change in the world.

Tomorrow, hopefully, I can get out the door and to the beach early enough before the parking lots fill up at the beach.   Fun and Joy!
