The global shift in energy is overwhelming and like attracts like. We desperately needed some goodness and only good things can come. Can't wait to see what they are. The world may have it's challenges but if we never have the bad, could we fully appreciate the good when it comes? Love to you.

]]> Comment on funktionslust by Jolanta Budziak http://jordanbower.com/blog/2008/10/27/funktionslust/#comment-1410 Jolanta Budziak Mon, 03 Nov 2008 03:53:43 +0000 http://jordanbower.com/blog/?p=130#comment-1410 Jordan, You wrote this few days before we met for luch, and yes, this lunch was free and then some. I am so grateful. I remember working for Red Cross and using my skills of tellerig and counting money for the Ethiopian relief back in the mid 1980..ies. It seems that I have devoted many years to servicing others, yet I feel my best is yet to come. I do a lot of things well, including recognizing the grape type or a wine style in a blind tasting of wines. And while this brings me a self satisfaction and self confidence, I have yet to find a purpose, like someone who completes a crossword in 5 minutes: how do you combine the best in what you are at with what the world needs from you-- it is the biggest challenge. I suppose it is the basic marketing challenge: narrowing the gap between what the one needs and what I can do for the one. Finding what you are best and positioning yourself is a big challenge in the spirit of providing the service rather then creating an identy for yourself and living it at all costs. Understanding that once you detach yourself from the outcome you can simply focus on being best by doing your best without the payoff but like you said, with the funktionslust in action creating an equilibrium of need and satisfaction. The money will come. It is sad that many a time, our circumstances add filters through which each one of us has to pass (some sooner, some later, some never) to distill to the point at which we understand our funktionslust and act upon it. To say that one wants to change the world is indeed a vision, yet without the mission statement, we are not any further. Understanding who we are and what we do best helps us in 80% of the best 20% that need to happen to change the world. And like I learned at the "train the trainers" worshop back in the 1980..ies.., It only take a 2 degree of change in the course of a spaceship flight to land on the opposite side of the world. Your thoughts are stirring, keep them coming. Good luck in India, can't wait for your stories. Lots of love. Jojo Jordan,
