I Had a Moment

 
Author: Brad Swift

It happened on Saturday morning, while I walked around Bonclarken Lake across from my home here in the North Carolina mountains. It was a bright, brisk and beautiful spring morning, with an edge in the air I could almost taste and could certainly feel.

It started innocently enough with my walking with my Aussie/Border Collie mix dog, Lady, reciting my "purposeful prayer." But then it happened. Suddenly I found myself giving thanks to, well everything. To life, to love, to the love of my wife, Ann, and my daughter, Amber. To having a job where on a fairly regular basis I have the opportunity to make a significant difference in someone's life, and on more than a few rare occasions even a profound difference. To the incredibly beautiful, colorful, sensory enriched world in which we live.

The list went on and on, and the more I counted my blessings the more purposeful, passionate and playful I felt. What a way to start off the day. What a moment. What a life.

That's it from Flat Rock NC where it's another beautiful day in Paradise.

Author Bio:

Brad Swift

As a writer, I've written well over 300 magazine articles for a diverse assortment of magazines including Omni, Entrepreneur, New Age Journal, Yoga Journal, Utne Reader, Unity Magazine, Better Homes and Garden, Modern Maturity, and many others. I'm also a regular contributor to Veterinary Economics. (Yes, I still have a special place in my heart for animals.) My books include, WINNING THROUGH COACHING: Building Your Business Through Building Your Team and TRAVELING THE PURPOSEFUL PATH ? 6 Passages to an Inspired Life on Purpose.

As a public speaker, I lead programs on life purpose that are customized to fit such diverse groups as churches, spiritual centers, civic and professional organizations. The principles of these programs are also available in the 12-week teleclass, Living the Fulfilled Life. From these programs participants bring more focus to their life, experience a renewed sense of fulfillment, and lighten up and have more fun. Out of this focus, fulfillment, and fun emerges an ability to maintain balance in their life and a deeper appreciation for living.

One of my all time favorite ways of expressing my purpose is as a life purpose coach. I find the intimacy and creativity of one-on-one coaching to be a breathtaking experience. The select group of people who are my clients are very special to me, and with them I am constantly creating new facets of life purpose coaching that are then incorpoated into the other programs.

In short, the focus of my life is life purpose. From living on purpose, I've been blessed with an extraordinary life in which I am satisfied and fulfilled. My wife, Ann, and I share our redwood chalet home in the "Paradise Found" of the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina with our daughter, Amber, and a menagerie of purposeful and playful pets.
