Intimacy is the foundation of a loving relationship on which romance and passion are built and sustained, as well as the engine that drives the romantic energy in the relationship. Intimacy is about the connection, direct communication, understanding, and trust that come from close association, contact and familiarity, and very personal and private interactions between two people. Being intimate says, “I love you,” and so much more!
No matter our chosen profession, and regardless of our upbringing, we all have a natural way of being and we know our “way of being” (in terms of personality, talents, capabilities, ways of communicating, and ways of being motivated), are all different from those around us. We know from experience when we are in alignment with our natural way of being – and when we are not. We perform better, feel better, we have more success, and we get outstanding results.
A personal mission statement defines three things for the world to see:
Embracing Your Unique Talents
The Power of Discovering and Using Your Unique Talents in Your Business and Life!
“The road to happiness lies in two simple principles: find what it is that interests you and that you can do well, and when you find it put your whole soul into it – every bit of energy and ambition and natural ability you have.” John Rockefeller
“Each of us has been put on earth with the ability to do something well. We cheat ourselves and the world if we don’t use that ability as best we can.” George Allen – Professional Football Coach
No matter our chosen profession, and regardless of our upbringing, we all have a natural way of being and we intuitively know our “way of being” (in terms of personality, talents, capabilities, ways of communicating, and ways of being motivated) is different from those around us. We know from experience when we are in alignment with our natural way of being. We perform better, feel better, we have more success, feel more fulfilled and we get outstanding results. We may not exactly know WHY we are in alignment, but we know when we are and when we are not. Wouldn’t it be great if we could be in alignment more often? Imagine how much more productive, prosperous, happy, fulfilled and successful you could be if we were performing “in alignment” more often than not! What would it mean to you to have this kind of success, fulfillment and peace of mind?
The power is yours to create the life of your dreams with a clear vision!
You may have heard a few of these quotes in your lifetime, “If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there.” (George Harrison). Or, “If you don’t know where you’re going, you will wind up somewhere else!” (Yogi Berra). We really like these quirky little quotes because they capture the true essence of what happens when you’re not in the driver’s seat, actively navigating your life, and living intentionally. They also touch on the extraordinary power available to you by honing a clear focus, choosing a direction in alignment with who you are, and creating a compelling vision of the life of your dreams.
I was just taking a minute to think about the workshop you conducted and wanted to again share my appreciation. The level of passion, effort, and care that you have shown has exceeded my expectations. I felt the workshop was a great success. You delivered what you promised, it took on a life of its own, and you guided the process effortlessly while providing a safe place for everyone to share ideas. So far all the feedback I have gotten has been positive and everyone really enjoyed your facilitation. I am sure I speak for Pat as well when I say, thank you, and we are really looking forward to the challenges and hard work that lie ahead.
I just wanted to reach out and thank you for your help last year. Your guidance and advice helped me make the right decision at a crucial point in my life, and I am grateful. I am so incredibly happy and fulfilled in my new relationship and I would have never met him if I hadn’t gained the courage I needed to take the next step in my life. Thank you again for helping me define my needs in a relationship and encouraging me to find the right person to share my life with. I’ll be forever grateful.

I am so grateful to have met you during my visit to get advice about starting a nonprofit organization five years ago. You have truly been an amazing mentor over the years, and I appreciate all the help and guidance you have continued to provide. Thank you for finding the time to always help me with my different requests whether it be questions about running a business, networking, or with my homework. You are amazing! Thank you very much!
