Today is my birthday and I'll remember it for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I was reminded today about the fact that people come to things in their own time, and that there is a right time for everything. You know how sometimes you feel that things just aren't clicking - but you know that what you are striving for will happen and that the right things will all connect at the right time to manifest your 'dream'. Today I facilitated a meeting between two people who I respect very highly, both extremely experienced in their fields. The meeting was to bring them together as a final attempt at gettting them to do business together. Until today, both people were focused on achieving the same thing (a business partnership) but for whatever reason they did not see eye to eye and the trust simply wasn't there to 'make it happen'. So we tried a last ditch attempt by asking each of them what they would be doing, on the assumption that they WERE in business together ... this got them thinking about the end rather than the means, and diverted their focus away from the barriers to proceeding. This had an interesting effect. It brought things to a head and enabled both parties to 'see' more clearly and reach an agreement.
Secondly, my little daughter Amelie has her teeth coming through and that meant little sleep last night .... I guess that it was just the 'right' time for her teeth to appear!
