The Value of Allowing Life to Happen Through You – TPS470

I recently watched an interview on C-SPAN with Ursula Burns, the first Black female CEO of a Fortune 500 company. I was impressed with her ability to allow life to happen through her rather than working hard to make it happen. A great example of synchronicity.

Highlights

• Brought up in a poor neighborhood, Ursula’s mother never let the kids know that they were poor.
• I talk about how Ursula let her life happen rather than pushing toward a goal. The fact that she could not have conceived of being a CEO of a large company worked in her favor. I expand on this.
• When you get yourself into the place where you allow your life to happen, you’ll get what you need to become who you are becoming.
• It’s important to be satisfied with where you are and what you have and believe that what you need will show up but it will probably take longer than you want.
• Problems and concerns are part of your journey.
• I talk about the oppression that is prevalent in our society and relate something I went through via Microsoft that allowed me to feel controlled and powerless.
• If you can recognize the situations when you feel controlled – or oppressed – it will allow you to process those feelings and not hold onto them.
• When you hold things in rather than expressing them, it’s hard to let them go. It helps to talk to people about what’s bothering you – without kvetching.
• Working through your emotions allows you to move your life comfortably forward.
