“H.I.P. people know that each moment is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for.
Be H.I.P. Wait no more. This is it!” ~ Coach T
My grandmother taught us the tale “milking the cow.” This term can be used literally and figuratively. For her growing up and being told to milk the cow could just simple be go outside and physically get milk from the cow.
By the time I came along mama was no longer in the countryside of the island and although I knew what cows looked like we didn’t have cows in the backyard. Times had changed significantly and with a large family to feed “milking the cow” became squeezing the last drop out of every dollar. We had to learn how to pinch the penny, squandering wasn’t allowed and only the real special occasion allowed individual treats. Yes! Pinching the dollar or stretching the money by getting only items that could feed many versus just one was the norm in our household.

Every day we spend hours projecting unto others our light qualities and our dark qualities. This means the qualities that we cannot accept as being a part of us but we perceive them out into the world. Into our family, friends and love ones, all of whom are playing their part in being mirror reflections for us.
The game goes like this – that person is mean, that person is angry, that person is undeserving. Perhaps that person is great, awesome, beautiful and charismatic. The qualities that we perceive as dark we push those away (daily feuds) and the ones that are light we are enthralled with. Humans spend hours per day watching OWN network because of the greatness they admire in Oprah (and yes there are those that perceive her differently). So many friends and acquaintances who comments “I will be on Oprah soon” – this is because they thing Oprah has something that they don’t have. She holds the ticket to their abundance and celebrity status.

My wonderful husband has these habits that at once would drive me up the walls but then when I asked myself “what would I do if one day these habits went?” I decided to really breathe them all in. Yes, it is a process to look beyond the appearance but this is a process I have consciously chosen to fully experience every step of the way.
Our mutual relationship is one of supporting each other to evolve into our best selves. This requires being pushed beyond the comfort zone. This dedication more often than not allows us to confront the frighten parts of our personalities and to simply be with what is seeking to emerge, a necessary discomfort for the evolutionary relationship that we both seek to express.

We have been conditioned to blame something outside of ourselves
For the parts of our lives we don’t like. We blame our parents, our bosses, our friends, the media, our coworkers, our lack of money, our spouse, the weather, the economy, our astrological chart, God, anyone or anything we can pin the blame on. We never want to look at where the real problem is – OURSELVES
To achieve major success in life – to achieve those things that are most important to you – you must assume 100% responsibility for your life. Nothing less will do.

“Your life works to the degree you keep you agreements.” -Werner Erhard
*Never promise more than you can perform.
*Recognize your word is your bond. Don’t give your word casually and then causally break it.
W-H-E-N you don’t keep your agreements, you pay both external and internal cost – you loss trust, respect and credibility with others (your family, friends, colleagues and customers). You ultimately create mess in your own life and in the lives of those who depend on you for getting things done.

H.I.P. Relationship Tip: Self-care isn’t just about you.
Whether you’re a teacher, coach, parent, minister, when you want to help others change it’s oh so tempting to believe that means giving your all, 110% of the time. That is means being on call no matter what – going the extra mile, being invested in the outcome and truth be told sometimes it does.
Short bursts of all out giving as a teacher, coach, minister, especially parent comes with the territory. But if you do it for extended stretches or you believe you must do it to be good or to be worth what you charge, you’re setting yourself up for a big ole train wreck of burnt out and soul sucking resentment.
