But there is another life, and he discovers it in his dreams, in his reading and in his encounters with people who share his ideas.<BR/><BR/>The warrior allows his two lives to draw near. There is a bridge that links what I do with what I would like to do, he thinks. Slowly, his dreams take over his every day life, and then he realizes that he is ready for the thing he always wanted.<BR/><BR/>Then all that is needed is a little daring, and his two lives become one.<BR/><BR/>"Warrior of the Light" - Paulo CoelhoHarry Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329922320940535781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-14445764393656599042009-03-31T13:01:00.000-06:002009-03-31T13:01:00.000-06:00Hey Michael,Thank you for your kind words - living...Hey Michael,<BR/><BR/>Thank you for your kind words - living a life of integrity is harder than it looks, isn't it (and the support sure comes in handy). :-)<BR/><BR/>Take care and create a great day!<BR/><BR/>HarryHarry Tuckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10329922320940535781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-58033776046920650152009-03-31T11:43:00.000-06:002009-03-31T11:43:00.000-06:00Harry - Cogratulations...Enrolling yourself is so ...Harry -<B> Cogratulations...Enrolling yourself is so crucial.</B> I'm sure Microsoft is losing a great leader; but the world is gaining one.

I'm not all that far into it, but so far Covey's talk of Character vs. Personality based paradigms ring very similar with this post. Sometimes I think if the same basic message keeps popping up in life over & over (and frequently), perhaps we're on the right track... well, if we heed it, that is.<BR/><BR/>Very best wishes to you on this new path!Kenna Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15029800312763996759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-12140891150917780772009-03-30T23:38:00.000-06:002009-03-30T23:38:00.000-06:00Harry,We teach what we most need to learn.

However, I lapse into inauthenticity whenever my ego gets in the way. If you ever see that happen, please give me an authentic nudge so I can wake up and be true to my self.Leonard Szymczakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08893729795403461221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1005196875375123554.post-44448029998323110542009-03-30T18:54:00.000-06:002009-03-30T18:54:00.000-06:00Hey Patti,Many thanks for your kind comments.

Often we feel guided by all kinds of outside forces which seem to draw us away from our authentic heart and our core values, all the while we're still believing we are doing the 'right' thing. That can mean trying to fit in, or being absorbed into a specific culture. The result is never pretty if it doesn't fit your core values. Seeking to find the messages within which bring you closer to your authentic self can take a lot of practice and are often thrust upon us in situations we least expect. The key is to listen!
