Instead of sharing a quote and my thoughts this week, I'll share a story I found on Paulo Coelho's blog.
Story
Two young kangaroos were playing in the forest when they fell into a very deep pit. They tried to jump out but couldn’t jump high enough to get out of the hole.
Meanwhile, a big group of kangaroos started gathering above the pit – the pit was very deep and the gathered onlookers shouted to the two young kangaroos that it was impossible for them to get out. The older one of the two kangaroos heard the disheartening words of the spectators and after a while gave up and fell asleep, whilst the younger kept jumping and trying harder.
Finally, he managed to jump out of the hole – the spectators were shocked and asked the kangaroo,
“When we had told you so many times that it was impossible to get out, what was the reason that you tried even harder?”
The kangaroo was shocked because as he was partially deaf. He told them:
“Looking at all of you standing there cheering me gave me the strength to succeed in my mission of getting out of the pit.”
Always remember the affect your words have on others.
Have an awesome week.
Bob

Listening
News
No new updates for this week.
Quote
“A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?”
My Thoughts
Listening is a critical skill to develop for any relationship. Becoming better listeners will help us in all areas of our lives. Most people struggle with listening. Instead of listening many people are merely thinking about what they are going to say while the other person is talking. This leads to miscommunication, disagreements, and arguments.
I'll share a story about how this can affect business relationships.
This past weekend I met some friends at a bar called Prost. I won't go into all the details of what happened, however the main problem here was listening. Basically we asked the staff for something, but they didn't appear to listen. So we talked with one manager and she didn't really seem to listen either. We then talked with another manager and he also didn't listen. In the end what we requested wasn't fulfilled which actually wasn't the problem. The problem was in the handling of the request. No one could explain why things were handled as they were.
So what was the outcome?
Well now myself nor anyone close to me will go back to Prost (something similar had happened there before but it wasn't as bad). The situation could have been avoided if one person out of the five we talked with had stopped and listened. Will that hurt their business? Maybe not right away, but if it continues to happen it will certainly cause a loss in customers.
I encourage you to be a better listener this week. When someone is talking try to not have any thoughts, just focus on what they are saying.
Have an amazing week.

Giving Coins
Hello Everyone,
I hope your week is off to a great start.
News
There are still a few seats available for this Saturday's "Mastermind Group Coaching Course".
If you are interested in attending please register with me to make sure your space is reserved.
You can register by emailing me: bob@oneamazinglife.com
Instead of sharing a quote and my thoughts this week, I've decided to share a story.
Story
“Over the course of one year, give a coin to each person who offends or upsets you,” instructed the abbot of a young man who wanted people to follow a spiritual path.
For the next twelve months, the boy gave a coin to each person who offended or upset him, as he was instructed. At the end of the year, he returned to the abbot to find out what the next steps were.
“Go into town and buy food for me,” the abbot responded.
Once the boy left, the abbot changed his clothes, disguised himself as a beggar and went to the gate. When the boy approached, he began to insult him.
“Good!” said the boy, “for a whole year I had to pay the people who upset or offended me, and now I can be offended for free, without spending anything!”
Hearing this, the abbot removed his disguise.
“He who does not take insults seriously, is on the path to wisdom.”
Have an outstanding week.

My Thoughts
Sometimes we get so focused on what we don't have that we forget to look at what we do have. Sometimes we become frustrated that we don't have enough. It helps to remember that there are many people far worse off than you.
We can get so caught up chasing after the things we don't have that we never stop and look around us. We never see the inherent beauty in all that is around us. It also can cause us not to be focused on the present moment.
Remember to be grateful for what you do have. I suggest that you take time each morning or evening to reflect on what you have. It can really help change your outlook on life.
