Your Sword in the Stone

The Sword in the Stone, Excalibur, was the symbol of everything Camelot stood for. It was the axis around which every decision revolved and it embodied all the values the people held dear. And no one could remove the sword from its place except Arthur, the true and rightful king.

A true and rightful king has the Sword in the Stone in his hand and grants unconditional authority to his warriors to act in the service of “Camelot”. By a bond with the king, every warrior carries the Sword in the Stone and is totally clear about the unconditional authority he has from the king to take action, and to say “absolutely yes” without first having to check with someone else.

Don’t confuse your Sword in the Stone with your objectives, standards or your mission statement. It’s much mightier than any of those. Objectives, Standards and Mission Statements are notoriously limp, missing the mark every time by asking, “What can I do that’s different from the other guy’s?” and “What is my mission?” A warrior with his hand on the Sword in the Stone isn’t likely to ask silly questions at all, but rather say, “This is who I am and what I stand for. This is the action that I will take. You can like it, you can lump it, or you can take it down the road and dump it, but I will forever remain who I truly am.”

Sounds like a great way to live, doesn’t it? (Unless, of course, you have the backbone of a rabbit; then it sounds just plain scary. But then everything sounds scary to a rabbit.) But I digress.

A warrior never abandons a battle or a campaign that revolves around their Sword in the Stone. And sword campaigns tend to perform much better than those built merely upon clever ideas. A person’s Sword in the Stone embodies their core values and defines their essence, and from these flow their non-negotiable standards, mission objectives and their tribe’s positive experiences.

Do you have non-negotiable standards? Do you and those who relate to you know exactly what you stand for… and stand against? If your answers are yes, yes, yes, and yes, you may possibly have the ingredients to erect a powerful and iconic Cult Brand.

Superficiality is never attractive. People are attracted to the genuine, the authentic, and the real. In the words of Robert Frost, “We love the things we love for what they are.” Likewise, people you relate to will take strength, stamina and joy from knowing what you stand for.

“Work is about a search for daily meaning as well as daily bread, for recognition as well as cash, for astonishment rather than torpor; in short, for a sort of life rather than a Monday through Friday sort of dying.” – Studs Terkel

So, what agreements, standards and objectives do you have that revolve around your Sword in the Stone? And in what Stone is your sword securely planted?

Treasure your QUESTIONS

A quotation from the poet Rilke. . .

“You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” From Letters to a Young Poet, Translation by M.D. Herter Norton

Exploration Beyond My Limits!

A FEW IDEAS GREATER THAN I

I enjoy creating and sharing tools for accessing wisdom, power and divinity.

I enjoy a super successful, abundant Conscious Business that improves the lives of the people that I serve.

I want to live the life that gives maximum Honor and Joy to the Source of All, this is my BEST life!

I actively explore ways to Surround Myself with Awake, and Awakening Successful People.

My service to others is possible and enhanced by keeping my mind focused on a constant stream of Inspiration while cleaning an clearing whatever comes up from my individual and collective conditioning.

I am a contributor and generator of light, love, abundance, faith, healing and joy.

I hold all those people who are suffering, individually or collectively, continuously in the light of my consciousness as I commune with source.

I seek out Conscious Successful People, the ones who are living within the stream of energy from  God / Source / The Universe. All those who are having a great life, and fulfilling their destiny because of their connection with Source.

The people I associate with are making a difference in the world. These are people who achieve their dreams with ease and grace.  Their dreams are from Source. They are those who live in the Flow of Spirit in the Present Moment.

I seek out abundant, prosperous, supportive people who know the value
of honoring and staying connected with source. The faith of those  people supports my own faith and gives me confidence that I will achieve my destiny.

I just take some time to play!  I am invited by the angel of play!  It is my
Child Nature that is already enjoying the  kingdom of Heaven.

I make a commitment right now to spend less time with people who deplete
my energy. I seek out supportive environments that bring forth my
magnificence.
