Lesley Morgan's Blog: Passion

Many of us are what I call “UNPACKAGEABLE SPIRITS”, people who will never be fulfilled, or satisfied, by doing just one thing for the rest of our lives. We thrive on an array of evolving interests, and have an insatiable sense of wonder. Our style of thinking does not usually follow a "linear process", and we often zigzag through our days attempting to move in several different directions at once.

In fact, thoughts and ideas descend on me like a meteor shower, or sometimes like a hail of bullets from an action movie, coming at me in all different directions at once. Sound familiar?

This type if thinking is not that unusual, but not often embraced in culture today since the advent of the Industrial Revolution. (But more on that later in an upcoming blog post.)

Throughout my life, I have been a Butcher, Baker, and a Candlestick Maker....well so to speak.

Over the years, efforts to pursue my numerous passions simultaneously sometimes left me feeling overwhelmed, anxious and often depressed. I heard family and friends express that they wish I would find one thing, settle down, and stick with it.

By incorporating coaches and mentors in my life the past few years, I have learned to trust my intuition and unique gifts, and live in the moment. It has changed everything for me!

I now coach and educate other "UNPACKAGEABLE SPIRITS", (entrepreneurial beginners, and leaders alike!) in achieving mental clarity by blending and directing, the multiple facets that make them unique, and managing their passions through specialized techniques.

Are you an "UNPACKAGEABLE SPIRIT"? Know that your innate desire to follow multiple passions is the best part of who you truly are! Embrace and cultivate your passionate essence, and become the authentic person you were meant to be!

My name is Lesley Morgan, and I AM a BRAVEHEART WOMAN!

I was spending time in my library tonight looking for inspiration for a new blog post. I found something wonderful!

The writer Rumi is one of the most widely read poets in the world today - which is extraordinary, as he wrote in Persian in the 13th century.

There are things that are timeless. Enjoy!

Passion makes the old medicine new:
Passion lops off the bough of weariness.
Passion is the elixir that renews:
how can there be weariness
when passion is present?
Oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue:
seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!
Rumi

In the past months, I have been trying to hold on to areas of my life that just were not working out the best for me. At the root of it, I was stuck in not wanting to let people down, and lacking the courage to move out of places, and circumstances, that are not serving me any longer.

Those monster brothers, Anxiety and Fear, started to creep...step-by-step...in to my world in a stealth manner at first, hardly noticeable.

Then, more recently, I was feeling the monster duo had me in a death grip. I felt like someone had set a house on my chest, and my throat was severely sore every afternoon and evening. I noticed that I did not laugh, at all…Joy gone from my life.

A few weeks ago, I drew a line in the sand, and during the dark hours of the night, I put a new set of Intentions out to the Universe.

It took only a few days… then my phone rang three times with new opportunities for me to make a change in one of my businesses. A week later, I picked up a new coaching account with some great people you will be meeting soon here on our BraveHeart site.

Last night, on a whim, I stopped at a grocery store and rented the movie Mamma Mia. When I got home and put it in the DVD player, I soon heard an unusual sound….a sound I have not heard for awhile...it was me laughing! I watched the movie a second time, and this time sang along!!

Today I set out on one of these New Beginnings. "Shift is happening..."

BraveHeart Women, please send a “Whoosh” my way!

I have a lovely friend Lisa. She is as “fun as a barrel of monkeys”, and thoughtful as can be. I received this message from her today, and want you all to see it.

A friend of mine has a brother who will be turning 50 on March 21. This in itself might not seem a huge milestone, but if you knew Glen, you would know why this is a big deal.

When Glen was born in 1959, there were severe complications which caused brain damage. Glen has limited speech capability, and is socially, and emotionally in the age range of 12-14. The doctors told his mother he would never speak, and never walk. Well, we are celebrating his 50th birthday in a few weeks, and I would like to invite all of you to help Glen celebrate by sending him a card.

Glen often checks the mail and can recognize his own name on an envelope. Each day he walks out, brings back the contents in the mail box and then will say, "No Me" Meaning, "Nothing for me" Well, I'd like for him to say, "All me", meaning "It's ALL for me"

As I said, his birthday is March 21st, and some of his favorites are:

His favorite color is: Blue

His favorite music is: Elvis and the old 60s style

His address is: Glen Hill, 914 Keele Drive, Reno, NV 89509

Please send a card and make his birthday a great one!
Thanks,
Lisa

I just happen to know a special group of fabulous people…of course that’s you out there BraveHeart Women!!

Let’s all send Glen a great birthday card. But better yet…pick a date (two or three) and log it in your iPhone, Blackberry, DayTimer, whatever you use to note your important dates and reminders. Put in Glen’s name and address, at random on any date, and you know what to do from there.

This is one of my very favorite April Fool's Day stories.



In 1998, Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a "Left-Handed Whopper" specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans.

According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers.

The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, "many others requested their own 'right-handed' version."

Have Great Fun Today Everyone!!
I am off to Subway for right-handed veggie sub...

Got a coach? How about a mentor (or several)

Think of King Arthur's round table. The King and his Mastermind Group. Yes, well I know that is not likely how His Majesty referred to them, but I am pretty certain that is what it was.

Envision, if you will, all the best minds of the realm, flanking the entirety of the grand circle styled table.. facing one another..all brainpower directed toward a good and common goal..a place called Camelot!

At my table sits Ellie Drake, Seth Godin, Mari Smith, Wayne Dyer, Alex Jeffreys, Leonardo da Vinci, Napoleon Hill, Michelangelo Buonarroti, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Maya Angelou, Maria Andros, Snow White, Socrates, Queen Elizabeth #1, Amy Huentelman, and Jack Canfield - just to name a few.

Pretty good, uh? By-the-by, there are some folks listed here that don't have a clue who I am. But it matters not...they are among the circle that has influenced me to become inspiration in action, and create my own Camelot. (Wouldn't it be great fun to get this group together at Starbucks?)

So alas...out defending the castle, AND slaying dragons on your own, are we??? It's a little more than difficult to man the catapults, push the siege tower to the gates of Castle Success, pour cauldrons of boiling oil on assailants, all on your own...OK, I'll slow down with the dramatic effects now. I am getting to a point here.

You may fancy yourself as a King Arthur in your character, mind and spirit - aspiring to great things. But, it matters not, unless you are supported by an arsenal of great knights, and grand ladies (living in this life, or not-so-much). You cannot create and/or rule a kingdom without a "Special Forces" support team.

So sally forth.. put together the great coaches, and mentors, that will sit at your round table!

HEED THIS DECLARATION: Be a coach, be a mentor, but be very certain to surround yourself with the same.

When I was in the 5th grade, our music teacher taught these lyrics to the class. At that age, the words were interesting and made me very curious to know more...

"Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breath free;
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
Tempest-tossed to me
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"



These are the finishing sentences inscribed on a bronze plaque in the interior of the pedestal at The Statue of Liberty...the sonnet "The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus.

...I then began to truly realize what our country stood for in the world...



Happy Birthday America!!

You know, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. With that in mind, I was just thinking...

Sometimes "Perfect" looks different than what you might have imagined...
