Turning Point - A Gps For Your Success ~ Judith Harrison

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison Ever bother to really wonder at whence ‘the moody blues’? Usually we are more likely to criticize or judge another – or even ourselves – for our moodiness. We are programmed to think that we should be nice, pleasant, thoughtful of others and so on. But what about the vicissitudes of our emotions? If we have emotions and responses, wouldn’t we be well served to check them out as wonderful guideposts?! Psychiatrist Julie Holland, in her new release: “Moody Bitches” sheds some very interesting scientific data on moods and truth-telling. We shall explore the landscape of moods, science, and relationships in this hour of Turning Points. www.judithlharrison.com

Judith believes people are designed and meant to thrive, living a path of personal Greatness, joy, and satisfaction. She has dedicated her life to helping people close the gap & clear the clutter between where they are in life and where  they want to be.  “By capturing the very essence of DaVinci’s life and genius – the seemingly perfect imagination of mind, body, spirit, and soul - …a discovery and understanding of the boundlessness of our own full human potential.” This is from the back cover of a book: How to Think Like Leonardo daVinci, by Michael J. Gelb Using the book as a guide, we will look at Seven Steps to Genius Every Day. One of my faves here is all about LISTENING! ‘Layered Listening. Listen for Silence. Listening “…opportunity to deepen auditory perspicacity…” Leonardo says that “The five senses are ministers of the soul.” www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison “Life is a marathon. Fortunately, running is good for your heart, good for your body, good for your lungs. Yet it’s where you’re running to – and why – which, in the end, will determine whether you win this race or not.” The Art of Life, Joan Chittister This quote sets the pace and context for a look at living life well and why looking at the elements that contribute to winning this race matters. www.judithlharrison.com

Turning Point- a GPS for your Success with Host Judith L. Harrison Today we will explore the art of listening and the challenges to effective and persuasive communication… How do we listen? Why listen? How is Leadership empowered by the quality of our capacity to listen as a tool for “winning ways” in the business of life. What is leadership and what is NOT leadership. Care to listen? www.judithlharrison.com  

Virginia Satir, a phenomenal leader in my field of psychotherapy says we connect through our samenesses but we grow through our differences. However, though attracted to differences, we must beware to not become abusive in dealing with differences when ‘familiarity breeds contempt…’ Our show today features Jocelyn Burgener of Naked Under My Coat, a book of prose and poetry. Our focus will be abuse and domestic violence. www.judithlharrison.com

Karen Collacutt, money coach for entrepreneurs, helps people build bridges between their personal and business money. She says: “If you want control over something in your life you have to take responsibility. Control over your Money Life is NOT best served by a dictator or dominatrix, but by a trusted friend or loving parent. Take ownership of your money situation.

Who’s Got Your Back and Dare To Be Yourself…sounds innocent enough, right? But! What if the initial premise of “who I am…” is off then what exactly is being protected as a self?! Increasingly the wisdom that is coming out exposes the myth of  fearlessness. Increasingly people are crying for more happiness and want a way to find their way… Today’s Turning Point will explore some of these myths or misunderstandings and where to turn instead. www.judithlharrison.com

“Of all the fears that you now feel, or ever will feel, only 2% of them are a legitimate cause for concern and attention. Why not nip them in the bud early?” —-Denis Waitley Though fears and taking a Safari To The Soul may seem unrelated… not so! Wouldn’t you like to know how to turn off your fears? Would you like to know why doing so is critical – as in your vitality, vibrancy, joy etc? This reflection is in service to Finding Focus and Producing Real Results. Please join us on the Safari for Strategic Acceleration in the life of your business or the business of your life. It’s a jungle out there so why not have an adventure out of it? www.judithlharrison.com  

The Power of the Spoken Word and whence the images for which WORD is symbolic… This week has offered profound confrontations with ourselves, our beliefs, our rules, roles and expectations. And also, where do we go when where we always ‘went’ is no longer providing us the roadmap to which we had become accustomed? www.judithlharrison.com  

The Power of the Spoken Word is made so by the act of powerful listening.. What is happiness and why is it tweeted as #1 in goals expressed as a resolution for 2015? Yes! That is correct… wanting more happiness has been tracked on tweets as that which is the most desired element and stated #1 (top 5) in tweets as a resolution. And how does this get reflected through listening? “No friend or lover, no husband or wife, no community or commune will be able to put to rest our deepest cravings for unity and wholeness…Friendship and love cannot develop in the form of an anxious clinging to each other. They ask for gentle fearless space ( in which true listening can occur and thereby happiness…) in which we can move to and from each other.” P30 Reaching Out by J. M. Nouwen Does it surprise you learn that a majority of people are resolved to find more happiness in 2015? www.judithlharrison.com  

This Holiday Season brings us face to face with ourselves more than any other holiday, I believe. There is such a push for festivities, giftings, and the drive to be joyous… I think. But what about those who do not feel the joy, the love, the hope? Also, though primarily riding on the Christian explanation for ‘what is Christmas’, what about those among us that do not get the religious message but celebrate anyway? Or, perhaps, want the Christian, deeper meaning and are left with a sense of “empty”? Wherein lies the truth of Joy? Or Faith? Where? What? How? How do we get back to a sense of Belief… Unbroken? Jack Gilbert says: “We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world.” Let’s talk about Joy. www.judithlharrison.com

Retreats, Seasons, and Reasons... featuring a Grail Springs newsletter and highlights on a post-modern reflection on what we used to refer to as "Sabbath" moments. Grail Springs says: "No mud, no Lotus". In advocacy for retreats, or "Sabbath" moments the newsletter has this to say: "...if we just press pause for a few moments longer... the Omnipotent Beauty of it all reveals itself to us." What if a 'life-giving' quality of living depended upon taking time to breathe and get present to presence: retreats, or "Sabbath" moments? Would you...?

How much of you are are you? Mostly we are busy being, doing, pretending, defending parts of ourselves, projections from others or projections onto others. None of this is being a clean, clear, strong stand of my best me - The only real me to be. In often reflecting as to why people can't hold onto their dreams, I come up puzzled. But in reflecting on how much we are socialized into being something for someone else, I get it... Isn't it time for your Turning Point?

WE ARE EXCTED TO RETURN WITH WYNNE AND THE ANGELS TODAY - LIVE! So!!! this means that you will be able to call in to the show during our broadcast and be "the show"... what we means that Wynne will be taking your Life Path questions and she will work with your angels to answer your question for you.   You can also reach me at judithlharrison@rogers.com www.judithlharrison.com

As you may have heard from our show last week - Wynne and The Angels - we all have purpose and purpose is a natural energizer. Conversely, not being on purpose we leave us stressed and ultimately, if left to extremes, ill, dying to be real. "Your work in life must be your religion, whatever your occupation may be." This is taken from Bowl of Saki, Oct 19 and the commentary goes on to add that our purpose is to become more living, to allow the soul to live more...let the soul express itself in every aspect and it will surely fulfill the PURPOSE (bold print mine) of life." When we are 'on PURPOSE' we then must set priorities:-) In a Blog written this week by Krista Harrison, she asks also whether your priorities are being defined by negativity or positivity.. She goes on to ask "What have you done today or this week that really reflects who you are and what you love to do? Better yet, do you know what you lobe to do?" www.kristaharrison.com If not for you, then who will be? Is this where we lose the battle of w
