I paid for some coaching years agon with a gentleman by the name of James Mapes.  I had seen James while in Cancun and he lived so near to me at the time, I thought it would be great if I could coach with him. 

We met a few times and I had some really neat breakthroughs.   The one thing he gave me as an everlasting gift was an expression. 

Isn't that interesting?

He encouraged me to carry it with me and whenever I was able, use it.   So, when I found myself using langauge in a certain, or predjudices surfaced, even when anger or other weird emotions popped up, I would think and actually say, "Isn't that interesting". 

Years later it still serves me.  I'll admit that soemtimes life goes by incredibilly fast and I forget to stop and think, I just react.  But more often than not anymore I am able to briefly pause and think, isn't that interesting.  

So, what's eating away at you from the inside, what causes you to react and not act?

Isn't that interesting?
