Influence vs. Cajoling
The following is an excerpt from The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life...~ Roz and Ben Zander:
Influence is about getting others to buy-in to your vision or ideas, it's about enrollment. Enrollment is not about forcing, cajoling, tricking, bargaining, pressuring or guilt-tripping someone into doing something your way. Enrollment is the art and practice of generating a spark of possibility for others to share. Our universe is alive with sparks. We have at our fingertips an infinite capacity to light a spark of possibility. Passion, rather than fear, is the igniting force.
Abundance, rather than scarcity is the context. So, the practice of influence is about giving yourself as a possibility to others and being ready, in turn, to catch their spark. It is about paying together as partners in a field of light.
So I ask you, are you open to catch someone else's spark? Are you operating from a context of scarcity or abundance? Are your fears extinquishing your spark?

Republican Transition Team in PA
As the time draws near for Governor Ed Rendell to step down and Governor Elect Corbett to take office, some of us are wondering... why the transition team does not include a Latino? I'm wondering why no one is talking about it other than a select few who are concerned that the needs of Latinos in Pennsylvania will be overlooked when the republicans take office.
Here is the Latino reality in Pennsylvania:
Total Hispanic population in Pennsylvania: 589,000 (U.S. Rank - 14)
Median Age of Hispanics: 25
Median Income of Hispanics 16+: $22,405
Poverty Rate of Hispanics 17 & younger: 31%
Hispanics Without Health Insurance: 23%
Hispanic Homeownership: 46%
Hispanics as Percent of all K-12 students: 7%
These are sobering statistics for Pennsylvania, so why aren't more people taking action to ensure that WE have representation in our State government? Comment, tell me what you think...

Our Greatest Fear ~ Marianne Williamson
Our Greatest Fear —Marianne Williamson
it is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
