Fulfillment is the Feminine Side of Accomplishment

Last weekend I attended a strategic retreat, facilitated by Sam Horn in D.C, in pursuit of support for the book I've been writing. Being amongst this group of warm, business savvy, passionate women was exhilarating, enlightening and magical.

I knew without a doubt that I would benefit but my contribution was not completely clear to me until my return. I was amongst the participants who were shining the light on the feminine side of discussions--the fulfillment side--the essence of projects: how they could simultaneously be utilized for personal growth and healing. Others shined the light on the masculine side--the take charge side--the form of the project: networking connections, organizational skills, tools to best put our talents into practice.

When both sides are revered and balanced genuine success--success inside and out--is the outcome.

Fulfillment is when our 'doing' makes us better 'beings.'

So how do I maintain this balance while pursuing my goal? you might be wondering.

With a win-win mindset for starters.

A win-win mindset:
  • is faith-driven. 
  • has a higher purpose. 
  • holds everyone's best interests at heart including our own.
  • stretches faith and trust in a Macrocosmic Spirit (The Law of Attraction) far beyond the limits of creating a parking space.
A win-lose mindset:
  • is fear-driven.
  • pushes us to the depletion point.
  • strives to avoid being the loser by promoting sacrifice, suffering and inadvertently its spread.
  • has no trust in a Macrocosmic Spirit nor tends to a microcosmic one because the feminine side, the nurturing side of its efforts, has gotten lost.
Fulfillment satiates the heart while completion of our goal satiates the mind.


How can my pursuit serve to complete me rather than deplete me?

With a win-win mindset we can balance our personal and professional needs without compromise. We may not know how this can unfold but trust that when we ask, the Macrocosmic Spirit will provide a plan, and that if we slow down and listen we will be intuitively guided.

Faith is not belief without proof; it is trust without reservation. ~ D. Elton Trueblood


If I had to choose between my health and a bunch of money, I'd choose my health, but fortunately with a win-win mentality we don't have to make that choice. With faith we can not only have both, but will emerge from this mindset with a very different relationship with each. The Law of Attraction can be trusted.

This business-savvy group was rich with networking connections, but once I brought out my crystal cards my equally and uniquely valuable networking connections with the feminine side became clear. The collaborative of  our connections brought a sense of wholeness to our projects--purpose inside and out. We even witnessed the Macrocosmic Spirit in action--guiding us to the answers we were seeking. It was magical.

Neither dying with our music still in us or driving ourselves into the ground to get it out are fulfilling accomplishments; but when sharing our music in win-win fashion everyone it touches is all the richer including ourselves. I can't speak for anyone else, but I know, without a doubt, that I left D.C. feeling rich, loved, grateful, full of new strategies to make my book more engaging and enthusiastic about my projects and my new friends.

Win-win takes some practice to master but it's definitely worth the effort. It's time to revive the feminine side of accomplishment. As Sam so eloquently reminded us, "Receive, receive, receive." I believe with my whole heart that our health, well being and the health of our economy are depending on it.

Hope you can draw from this!

Warmly,
Dr. Trish
