Rachna's Note

May 2003

Dear Reader,

Welcome to this month's issue. It's been a

hectic month so far- I just returned from

several weekends away. I had a great time,

but it's good to be back.

This month's feature article focuses on

getting more than you need.

I hope you enjoy it. See you next month,

Rachna

p.s. Thank you for passing this newsletter

on to your friends & family.

More Than You Need

All Rights in All Media Reserved

It's important to always have more than you need.

More love. More friends. More time. More money.

More joy. More happiness. Get the picture? Yet,

very often, we all seem to settle for "enough"

rather than more.

Why is this?

Why do feel that we're only allowed a certain

amount of love, joy, happiness, freedom, money?

Have you ever "settled" for something that was

less than what you really wanted? I think we

all have.

We do it, I think, because we fear. We fear people

judging us, or thinking we're selfish, or arrogant.

I was struck by this over last weekend, when I

traveled out of town to attend a conference.

For conference attendees, meals had been arranged

in the hotel's restaurant and were served buffet-style.

There was a woman in front of me who had a young child-

girl, about 5-6 years old- with her. They moved slowly

through the buffet, with the child choosing exactly

what- and how much- she wanted of each item. This

proceeded for a bit of time, until the mother and

child came to the dessert section of the buffet

table. Here, the little girl piped up with, "I want

some of everything. I like it all." The mother became

a bit perturbed by this and explained that the little

girl couldn't possibly eat everything, and that

it wasn't nice to waste food. This made sense,

except, then, the mother said, "And, besides,

if you take everything, there won't be enough

left for everyone else- and that wouldn't be nice,

would it?"

I was stuck by this comment, because the mother was,

unintentionally, shaping her daughter's beliefs

about abundance and lack. The little girl was

learning that it was only nice to take as much

as you need, "because there might not be enough

left for other people". I know that this might

be true of things like pies, and cakes, and

ice cream- but is it really true of intangibles-

emotions- like love, forgiveness, happiness,

peace?

In coaching, we often talk about creating a 'reserve'-

and this idea is the focus of this article.

By creating a 'reserve'- more than we need-

it frees up our energy and thoughts to pursue

other things. This month, I'd like to invite

you to begin creating an extra reserve- of anything-

but especially intangibles. Aim to get (and give)

more love, forgiveness, happiness, joy than you

absolutely need and you will see, too, that some

things become more abundant the more generously you

share them.
