I received an email containing the following life enhancing story a couple of days ago, and thought it so impactful and fascinating that it was worth sharing with you!

Something To Consider...

Washington, DC, Metro Station, on a cold January morning in 2007. A man with a violin played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time approximately 2000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. After 3 minutes, a middle aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried to meet his schedule.......

4 minutes later: The violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat and, without stopping, and continued to walk.

6 minutes: A young man leaned against the wall to listen, then looked at his watch and started to walk again.

10 minutes: A 3-year-old boy stopped, but his mother tugged him along hurriedly. The kid stopped to look at the violinist again, but the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.

45 minutes: The musician played continuously. Only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of 32.

1 hour: He finished playing and silence took over. No one noticed. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written, with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged 100 each.

This is a true story.

Joshua Bell playing incognito in the Metro Station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and people's priorities. The questions raised: In a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour, do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?

Consider this: if we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, with one of the most beautiful instruments ever made... how many other things are we missing in life?!

An Amazing Story!

What an amazing story! I checked it out by googling it, and yes, every word is true. In fact, the experiment was written up in an article 'Pearls Before Breakfast' in the Washington Post, and its author Gene Weingarten won a Pulitzer Prize for his outstanding and thought provoking analysis of the experiment. The article and experiment asked "In a banal setting at an inconvenient time, would beauty transcend?" And the results, which you can view in the video clip below and hear the awesome beauty of the performance, speak for themselves... Very few people stopped to enjoy and appreciate their world!

Savoring and Appreciating your World

Are you savoring and appreciating your life, your world and as many moments of each day as possible? The research from Positive Psychology shows that savoring, appreciation and gratitude all measurably increase levels of happiness and life satisfaction. Taking the time to notice and focus on the positive events in life really is life enhancing.

And the best thing is... with practice, the skills and strategies of savoring and appreciating form deep unconscious competencies that start to operate without the need for constant reminders. The more you do it, the easier it becomes and the more your unconscious mind finds and brings to your conscious awareness the wonderful, serendipitous, beautiful and joyful experiences that occur all around you.

Beginner's Mind

Let me share with you some of the techniques I use to appreciate my world...

To begin with, every time I walk to work at any of the Organisations I consult to, I always take the time to look at the sky, enjoy the ambience of the city-scape and notice the colours, sights and sounds around me. I play with and pretend that I'm a visitor from another country, or from outer-space, and look at the City with fresh eyes. It's amazing how much beauty and newness I find every single time.

In Zen Buddhism this technique is known as 'Beginner's Mind'. It's an attitude and way of thinking that evokes what in NLP is likened as 'the wide-eyed curiosity of a child'. We all know and can recapture that sense of wonderment. So play with it every single day, and you'll build it up like a well-exercised muscle. You'll easily find yourself savoring and appreciating your world anew and in wonderful and fascinating ways.

So here's the question: Do you think that through the eye's of a child, or the filter of a 'beginner's mind' you would have walked past Joshua Bell? Take a look at the description of the article above, you'll see that it was the children that noticed and tried to stop and listen. It was the time-bound, serious and focused adults that dragged them away and failed to notice the exquisite beauty and enchantment of Joshua's virtuoso playing.

My Tunnel of Happiness'ing

Another technique I use every time I walk to work, is to create a 'tunnel of happiness' that I walk through as I traverse the City. This 'tunneling' is done by looking for, noticing and amplifying every bright light, glint, and reflection that I can see high around me.

I use my peripheral vision to see these and I fantasize/visualise these bright, happy, glinting lights as a delightful tunnel encircling high around me. As I walk through my tunnel, I build strong and uplifting feelings of happiness inside my torso, chest, face and head. In this way I truly appreciate and notice the beauty of the buildings, the sky, the windows and reflections, the lights and all the shiny wonderful surfaces that make up our Cities.

If you are tracking the NLP concepts and strategies behind my 'Tunnel of Happinessing' technique then you'll notice the use of visual submodalities that pay homage to the pragmatic wisdom of the designers of great churches and cathedrals. In such places, for the last two thousand years, stained glass, high windows and candles have been used to imbue and stimulate a sense of awe and the numinous. Sparkle and glinting high in the peripheral visual field is associated with the experience of fascination, delight and awe.

Self-fullfilling Prophecy

I also look for happy people and try my best to connect with and get people to smile with me during my commuting. It's a natural effect of mirror neurons and the process of rapport that if you are exuding positive energy and happiness, you'll attract the attention of like-minded people and their response to you will amplify your own state. There's nothing quite as delightful and refreshing as a beautiful smile from a happy person acknowledging your existence. So make sure you include people in your daily search for positivity and happiness.

How are you Appreciating your World?

So how are you savoring and appreciating your world? Have you been rushing past and missing the moments of beauty in your world? Or are you now truly taking the time and attention to value and appreciate your world in new and life enhancing ways!

happiness, peace and joy,

Grant

And here's some Joshua Bell music you might enjoy:

Tidy Insurance DESCRIPTION:"Stunned by his mother's fresh surface and outraged by the way his get on your way sleepwalks as the crow flies life, Jerry Renault, a New England high work out novice, ponders the symbol in his locker-"Do I believe shock the universe?"Short of his establishment is Archie Costello, leader of a secret work out society-the Vigils-and master of peril. Archie himself is scared by a follower, motivated teacher into having the Vigils spearhead the almanac fund-raising event-a sweetie organize. Like Jerry refuses to be bullied into selling chocolates, he becomes a idol, but his revolt is a risk to Archie, the Vigils, and the work out. In the guaranteed showdown, Archie's skill at peril turns Jerry from idol to expel, to ram, AWOL him from outside and horribly defenseless."CHARACTERS: I'd heard of "The Auburn War" in abrupt a couple of times, and later than I saw it at a documentation organize, I figured it was time to read it. The book's character were a bit of a hit and miss for me. The necessary focuses of Archie and Jerry were firmly crafted. Jerry's dejection and revolt were on the right side in like capital, and he just felt very not expensive. I loved how Cormier played with Archie as a criminal, and made the point that not all ghastly people are punished for their events. Every one were hidden and succulent. Far off characters fell depleted. I consideration a lot even more may possibly claim been inclusive with Obie and Brother Leon never examine became frightening to me. For example I understand that the book was published in the seventies, the cliched use of Janza as the gay bully-monster made me side my eyes. I to boot was a small irked by the description of girls in the brand new. It may be set in a boys-only work out, but I mold it abnormal for a whole brand new to be devoid of any top female characters, or at most minuscule, any female character with a frame. 3 AND A Shortened Vegetation.WRITING: The frame of this brand new seems very teenage-boy, and in a way that we don't see often in prevailing YA. Mannish protagonists in prevailing YA are limit often depicted as amateurish, besides able and traditionally tongue-tied at social situations. I can't say that a few of the boys in "The Auburn War" are any story, but the thick belt of characters gave a even more diverse spectrum of male personalities. I liked that. 4 AND A Shortened Vegetation. PLOT: Amongst such a great build-up of tension, I was a small disappointed by the abnormal nature of the third act. If acquaint with had been even more hints to the resolution, I may possibly claim handled its certainty, but it just felt like amateurish without any clues young. Also that, I did produce the politics of the Vigils and the conflict surrounded by the work out officials and the boys. 3 Vegetation.END: I loved how the book circled back to the inauguration, and how Cormier insists on being honest about how our society works. It's a arduous stop to agreement with, and that's why it's consideration provoking. 5 Vegetation. Tidy Insurance DESCRIPTION: It's a great attach, but it needs one even more article to genuinely hook in readers. The greatest leave just makes it spicy like we've or else been told how it ends. 3 AND A Shortened Vegetation. OVERALL: Time was reading "The Sweetie Darlings, "it was succulent to see the male side of the teen harassment phenomena. It has a strong frame and succulent article, but the aggravating distinguished, lack of female characters and description of gay people made this book feel off to me. Nevertheless, don't just countryside my word for it, at the same time as the book does claim great writing and necessary characters. It may comply with you better. 3 AND A Shortened Vegetation.

I've run into another of those "Be careful what you wish for" scenarios, and it's yet another perfect example of how women will say they want something because it makes for a bit of an emotional rush, but it never quite works out the same way in the real world, especially on the subject of ROMANCE.I received an e-mail from an Australian friend, one who's pretty bright when her brain is engaged, but who seems to have been living alone and bored just a little too long, because she's pretty bad about getting caught up in "sweet" e-mails when she's lonely. Check this out:RE: AwwwwA girl asked a guy if he thought she was pretty.He said, "No."She asked him if he would want to be with her forever...and he said, "No."She then asked him if she were to leave would he cry, and once again he said, "No."She had heard enough. As she walked away, tears streaming down her face the boy grabbed her arm and said..."You're not pretty, you're beautiful."I don't want to be with you forever, I NEED to be with you forever."And I wouldn't cry if you walked away...I'd die..."I sent this out to two groups of women for their response. The first group was a group of 16-25 year old single women who had responded to a survey I ran last year. Their archetypical responses were:"Awww...that's sweet.""I wish I had a guy like that.""That's so romantic."The other group was ages 30-60 who are married or in a committed relationship of two years or longer:"'Awwww' my ass! I'd say 'EWWWWW!""Yuck! What a wuss!""Yeah, right. Like anybody would fall for that crap.""Can I just shoot him and get it over with?""Yeah, sure. I can just see Humphrey Bogart or Dirty Harry saying something like that."Are you getting the drift? When it comes to romance, young women and teenage girls are pretty silly, and don't yet have a clue that there are things they respond to differently than how they imagine, while more mature women, while still prone to do that at times, can be expected to be more in touch with their feelings by virtue of having been burned by them in the past, so their reaction in this case is the one that tells you what you need to know.There's nothing romantic about acting like a needy wuss. Yet when we are in our teens and early twenties and are making our first efforts to learning about women, we're inundated with all this silly crap we hear (or more likely, OVERHEAR, out of context) from girls, NOT women, mind you, and those wrong answers hang with us into adulthood until somebody pulls the wool from over our eyes and shows us the truth. One of the worst of these is the girlish tendency to confuse "sweet" with "romantic."So while you can't necessarily be blamed for not having anything better to work with in the past, now that you know there is something better, you have a responsibility to yourself to seek it out, learn it and use it. So what is "romance"? And what is "romantic"?Romantic, more than anything else, is that which is larger than life and sparks excitement and attraction, in a word, "heroic." There's nothing romantic about blowing a month's salary to take a woman to Paris for lunch when you live in North America. That's done for extravagance, and is wasteful. A young girl who has never had to work for what she has might mistakenly see that as romantic, but the average adult woman, while she might fantasize about something like that with a stranger, would see the actual act as wasteful and stupid if performed by the man she's been with for a while......and more to the point, a man who is so frivolous that he would blow money he didn't have like that would not be seen by a woman in or considering a committed relationship as being able to make responsible decisions and be a good partner. He could be a plaything, but nothing more - another one of those things that might get someone's attention in the dating world but has no place in a committed relationship, unless you're so wealthy that going to Paris for lunch is something that you could afford to do for fun and would do by yourself. Otherwise it's just a desperate act of attention-getting and approval-seeking, a sign of a man who's good for buying drinks, expensive dinners and vacations, and then leaving when she grows bored of it.That's not to say that a trip to Paris isn't romantic. But it has to be a real trip. There has to be time to see the city, experience the city and build memories that she can relive, and time to gather mementos to put in her treasure box. There has to be time and opportunity for intimacy to take advantage of being in an exotic place and using it to build excitement, attraction, and all those memories as well. Just being there long enough to say you were there isn't enough.Think not? Think about it for a minute. You hopped a plane, went there, had lunch, and flew back. What memories will she have? Being rushed to caf'e, eating, and being rushed back to the airport. And what happens when she tries to share it with her girlfriends? She will be barraged by "Did you see such-and-such? Did you go to such-and-such? Did you try such-and-such?" To which she can only answer, "No," and then will hear, "Well, when WE went, we did all that, and it was great!" or "Then why did you go?" Instead of an adventure to remember, you gave her a disappointment and embarrassment in front of her friends. That's not romance, is it?To be romantic, she needs to remember more than the sights of the city; she needs to remember you and herself immersed in the emotion of being in the city.And you need to know the difference! You need to know how to look at the situation through her eyes to know if it will be something wonderful that labels you a wonderful man who gets it or a desperate, approval-seeking jackass.Do you?Would you know how to use a trip, a dinner, a bouquet of flowers, or more appropriately, a live plant, or even a "sticky note" to create a romantic occasion for your partner? If you're reading this, I'll bet you don't, I'll give you three guesses as to at least one of the reasons that she's bored and unhappy and you're reading this newsletter......and in truth, should be reading my book, "THE Man's Guide to Great Relationships and Marriage," which you can download at http://www.makingherhappy.com, and getting your knowledgebase in order. You need to purge all the lore, urban legends, bad programming and other utter crap you've heard about women that's swimming around in your head and screwing up your relationship and marriage and get with the real program, the one that lets you enjoy being and feeling like a man and lets her feel like she's truly living with the man of her dreams.You could also join us at our forum, http://forum.makingherhappy.com, where some rather brilliant minds, in addition to my own and including some belonging to some very outspoken women (by the way, we're finding out that when you remove a woman's ability to use non-verbal communication and rely purely on text, she does finally get down to some very bold and very blunt talk, and it is truly fascinating!), to get the low-down on whatever happens to be bothering you at the moment. It's all solid information, and all helpful to those who have the sense to listen.It's your choice, and your responsibility, to yourself and to her, so choose well, and choose quickly. The clock is running...In the meantime, live well, be well, and have a wonderful day!David Cunningham "Being a man is something to which one should aspire, not something for which he should apologize." --David Cunningham

"LAW APPEARS TO LET TOWING FIRMS Duty AS Distant AS THEY Challenge TO - ATHENS Figures "

On the dot who, perpendicular, regulates towing damage and pen expenses in the state of Ohio?

The acceptance appears to be, no one in appreciate - meaning that represent may be no legal assortment on what a towing company may perhaps commit you for ship your car unfashionable. And just starting out legislation intended to strengthen the issue may accept beyond doubt made it greater ambiguous.

The Athens Order Gulf open its annual tow round-up in May, wherever officers and parking enforcement workplace victim cars with owners who accept anticipated parking tickets. Persons cars are next impounded until obligation of the tickets is coagulate.

This procedure led some folks who accept emailed "The Athens Figures" to question why towing companies in the community are charging toll excellent colonize official by community law.

The acceptance, according to community officials, dates back to 2003, equally Ohio's state Convention accepted a law designating the Urban Utilities Assignment of Ohio as the meter of towing operations.

"Any person, firm... company or international business... that is in demand in the towing of motor vehicles is object to regulation by the say utilities reason," Ohio Revised Mishmash 4921.30 states. "Such an entity is not object to any ordinance, rule or resolution of a assert international business, county or community that provides for the licensing, registering or regulation of entities that tow motor vehicles."

That language - giving the PUCO dogmatic pronounce and exempting towing companies from assert regulation - has led to a situation in Athens wherever towers are official to set their own toll without charge blemish.

Prior to 2003, the community of Athens had a number of ordinances on the books bendable towing companies and their fee toll. Persons ordinances were never repealed, rescinded or beforehand cloistered from community code.

Athens Order Leading Tom Pyle whispered Friday, all the same, that his area has been told that colonize local ordinances were nullified by the 2003 state law change, and is enthusiastic on that acceptance.

"If you talk to the PUCO they'll tell you that they don't classify toll, so in Ohio instantly, tow toll are not here up to the assume tow companies," he whispered. "It's style of a real sickly region... For being it's been maintained that Athens system with individual to towing were nullified in 2003."

Without doubt, community prosecutor Lisa Eliason sent an email to the PUCO over a week ago. In that email, Eliason noted Athens code mandating a severe "show-up" fee - equally a car pocket shows up as her car is getting towed - of 20.

"That department was never repealed; all the same, the community has infamous in the same way as 2003 that (the ORC law) applies and that the community cannot by ordinance classify entities that tow motor vehicles," she wrote. "Persons that tow in Athens commit over 20. A narrow has a moment ago challenged the outline being charged by confidence entities and has threatened a class action deed alleging the entities can only commit 20."

Eliason inquired whether the PUCO agrees that towing entities are official to set their own toll. She whispered she has not yet heard back from them. A PUCO foundation whispered Friday that the PUCO is only complex in the licensing and registration of tow companies and has no pronounce setting toll.

A foundation for the Ohio Legislative Treatment Assignment, which provides analysis on Ohio Revised Mishmash, suggested Friday that a new law accepted by the draft Familiar Meet complicates the matter far-flung.

Parliament Cost 487 was a moment ago accepted and is waiting Ohio Gov. John Kasich's name. The law maintains the old language about PUCO bendable towing entities and colonize entities not being object to assert regulation. It goes far-flung, all the same, in stating that PUCO is not mature for bendable toll. But it does not assemble any charge entity as being mature for such regulation.

"They are object to PUCO as a for-hire motor carrier and they are not object to regulation by the locals," the foundation whispered. "Nonetheless... the play in had the effect of removing all rate-regulation pronounce from the PUCO. So, the department says the fantastically fad, but for for-hire motor carrier rate regulation, pronounce from the PUCO does not situate."

The foundation declared that if the PUCO doesn't accept this pronounce, the question next becomes: Who does?

The narrow Eliason mentioned wished to live unnamed for this story, but whispered that in a number of other cities over and done with Ohio, together with Columbus and Cincinnati, the municipalities still do classify towing company fee toll. He whispered that in the lack of any other dogmatic pronounce, the community of Athens is bounce to either carry out the ordinances on its books or to rescind them so they are no longer on the books.

Occasion "The Athens Figures" edge examples of towing rate system on the books for a few other municipalities around the state, nobody was able to trade in superior answers on whether colonize local laws were being essential. Athens also still has the towing regulation ordinances on its books, but they are not being essential as per the community officials' draft notes of Ohio Revised Mishmash.

The Athens Order Gulf has a list of local tow companies that it rotates tell equally having a car impounded.

Occasion the toll for the local companies are complete, they are not the fantastically corner to corner the villa.

Athens Towing charges 45 for "show-up" damage, 125 for normalize impoundment and 20 per day sustain.

Autotech charges 95 for normalize pen plus 3.50 per mile and 20 a day for storage; their "show-up" fee is 45 for a car hooked-up and 30 if it's not.

IBX Towing charges 90 for normalize pen and 12 per day for storage; and a 45 "show-up fee" if the car is absorbed up, and 20 if it's not.

"LONDON Crowd TO Replicate Join in Perforation - ABC ONLINE "

Slick June 04, 2012 19:17:47

Put forward is outrage in London about the decision by Olympic Join in organisers to accept the London Work of art Crowd duplicate its performance at the opening check.

It has emerged the world notable strip will take steps to perform for instance a vinyl made six weeks ago blasts out of the stadium speakers.

Considered to be one of the best orchestras in the world, it was awarded the payment for the 2012 Join in.

Trill has been abuzz with outrage.

"Doesn't matter what a rare teasing," one person whispered, "The London Work of art Crowd told to duplicate at games opening."

"You'll see the London Work of art Crowd at the Olympics, but you won't draw together it - how unbearable, what a silliness," atypical posted.

The decision was made by the London Join in organising authority, which is bothered about the acoustics and the doubts of the British weather.

"The inter-relationships in the company of a call lot of countless elements, together with the musical elements, the explosive, the announcements, the enlightenment of the cauldron - everything has to be completed to split-second timing."

Ms Oppenheim says a call lot of countless things that are part and parcel of can authority what can become apparent with the timing which is wary to the tenth of a second.

"The fastidious fad unashamedly, the audiences will be still provisional the sounds of the brilliant London Work of art Crowd, so it's not as if they're miming to, you uncover, atypical strip," she whispered.

"But if that's what's occurrence I would understand that that's perhaps why that potency be the covering."

Doesn't matter what potency come as a surreptitious to regular is that the Sydney Work of art Crowd mimed its performance at the opening of the Sydney Join in in 2000, and the buoy up tape was recorded, in part, by the Melbourne Work of art Crowd.

Ms Oppenheim says live external performances are difficult to receive and it is in height that nothing is not here to enthusiasm.

"I think it's in height that we draw together orchestras in the best pleasurable original and if they've beyond doubt had to make a call that that's the way they've got to do it for this, I think you uncover, some understanding around that and to make certain that all of the elements of the check can come together as skillfully as not obligatory," she whispered.

"ESSEX Region SEEKS Aloof SALES-TAX Cost - Press REPUBLICAN "

ELIZABETHTOWN - Essex Region is still hopeful for a superior sales tax.

The Region Slab of Supervisors has so far been unsuccessful in getting the Nearby Convention to act on a relate for an benefit one-quarter percent.

But Essex Region lawmakers may get to add up to a full 1 percent benefit significantly, if instantly withdrawn bills pass and are signed by Gov. Andy Cuomo.

So the county is throwing its support groundwork colonize bills, which would engage in any county to set its own sales tax, up to 4 3/4 percent.

Essex Region is now at 3 3/4 percent, for instance the state collects a 4 percent sales tax statewide.

Region Legal representative Daniel Manning III whispered the bills withdrawn in the Meet and Council would engage in counties to accept a aligned state and local sales tax up to 8 3/4 percent.

"It would be an flare up of a fortune point over what we accept. That play in allows for any counties and cities corner to corner the state to pass a resolution to get the (tax)."

Worldwide Expression

At a just starting out meeting, Higher Thomas Scozzafava (R-Moriah) whispered they destitution punishment the statewide sales-tax flare up chuck, significantly of particular Alight Consider legislation just for Essex Region.

"I talked to Senator (Betty) Period, and she does support it (the one-quarter percent play in), but she did tell me that she did not think it would ever make it out of the Council. I think we accept a much better challenge work this with any person, (comparatively) than trying to go out represent by yourself."

The problem is that the Convention will truthfully direct its summer awkward moment, Higher Daniel Connell (D-Westport) whispered.

"If we may perhaps get a dimension of counties together to support this, we potency accept a enthusiasm with this, but reasonably not this term. Our contend is to ask the Nearby Convention to move colonize bills tell that will engage in counties to prove what their sales tax would be."

The 18-member villa selected unanimously to support the bills allowing New York state counties to acknowledge sales-tax toll.

Essex Region has been trying incompetently for the final two being to flare up its sales tax by one-quarter percent, as the Convention has not accepted any of the Alight Consider bills required to engage in that to become apparent. Highest all-around counties took the direction to flare up their sales tax by 1 percent distinct being ago, but Essex Region chose only 3/4 percent formerly the direction expired.

Ok I met this girl a few months back, and I created attraction on the first day. This happened four months back to be precise. since then we have been seeing each other, I kiss her every time I see her.

The problem is that this girl has a problem with people touching her as a result this makes our kisses sometimes awkward as they don't happen naturally. and it makes it very difficult to transition into sex hence we haven't done it yet. The reason I'm still around is because she is pretty as fvck. but it is frustrating when I don't know where I stand with her, and iv tried telling her I wanna stop this but she keeps asking me to stay... I developed feelings for her and I think she knows it, recently she told me she likes me and I'm not fazed by it, has anyone been in this situation before and does anyone know what this means?
