Today, I'm writing background material for my soon-to-be-launched executive coaching website. Grasping for language to explain why, at the age of 51, I am starting yet another career, I am looking through old journals, blogs and other writings. As I age (and evolve), I become more conscious of my in...

COMPASSION AS AN EMPOWERING RESPONSE: Empathy Evolved.

I am motivated to do my small part to heal the greater wounds of our world. For me, in this moment, that involves staying mindful of my own judgments, my own prejudices. It means keeping in my awareness, my human connection with both sides of every seemingly dichotomous issue.

Please join me in my pledge of 30 days of compassion meditation/contemplation. If you would like guidance or assistance, send me your email in a message and I will send you a link for a 60-day membership to Whil.com, a meditation app/program I use daily.

Thought for the day, from the app I use for my daily meditation.

Is our capitalist system failing? Is it destroying itself? There are plenty of news stories and opinion pieces out there that make it look that way.

As a member of Conscious Capitalism (http://www.consciouscapitalism.org/), I tend to look at this more hopefully as the painful process of metamorphosis. A functional capitalist system is one in which the exchange of value from business benefits all parties involved.

I do agree that what is needed for this metamorphosis (the alternative to death) is spiritual healing. The system can be no more functional than those who participate in it. This is the reason that merely replacing one ideological system with another has historically never really cured the ills underlying the revolution; at best they were replaced with new ones.

Until we work in a way that supports and sustains our growth toward becoming whole, connected human beings, we will always have a sense of being unfulfilled; a sense of vague dissatisfaction and unease.

When we work in alignment with purpose and our higher selves, we are able to "do well while doing good". Energy is freed up, solutions become apparent, creativity is unleashed and community is created. There is no longer a sense of "having to rob Peter to pay Paul". Balance between the many demands on our resources is more easily achieved.

Ultimately, work, when done this way, adds to our personal sense of well-being and fulfillment, rather than detracting from it. While our work doesn't define us, it does help us to be who we really are.
