This is the first newsletter for Intentional Choices and what comes to mind to share is how serious we have made life. When did life become so serious? When did we lose our sense of humor – our ability to look at the lighter side of any situation in which we find ourselves? When did we become so rigid – when did we begin to see only one side of anything that was happening to us or around us and it was SERIOUS!

When I coach people, the gift I look for the quickest is their creativity - their ability to creatively look at a situation. This always invites them to try on a new perspective. They are always amazed at the view when they make the picture bigger especially when they realize how many different ways there are to look at any given situation. When did we begin to believe there was just ONE way? They find it humorous lots of times and find themselves laughing at the role they played in an interaction - which is all a situation really is.

I am choosing to keep this newsletter brief and I hope you will choose to take a look at the lighter side of a situation that may be at work in your life. This simple fact that you would choose to take a look from a different perspective will put you in touch with your Intentional Choice of Perspective - to make the picture bigger and maybe even to lighten up a little. Do you see how powerful you are?
