How to submit a Telling with TellingTouch
TellingTouch how to
When you decide to do a Telling you have taken the most important step! Commitment…
And with that done, you will be amazed at the speed with which your Telling will come into being! Listen to the ideas that come to mind as you now ask yourself some powerful questions about your life to draw out the life experience which holds the potential of helping others:
1. What situations, which time healed, caused me the most pain in my life?
2. What situation, for which I am now grateful, caused me to radically alter my
belief system?
3. What life experience most taught me that problems and challenges in life
are actually opportunities and stepping stones?
4. How did I learn to become my best friend rather than my own worst
enemy?
5. What life experiences taught me that success was simply a matter of getting
out of my own way?
6. How did life teach me to stop blaming others and to realize that I could only
change myself?
7. What life experiences humbled me? Which ones taught me that both
success and failure are imposters?
8. What life experiences taught me that others truly depend on me and see in
me value that beforehand I could not see in myself?
9. When it was only sideways or up, what caused me to take action and
overcome my dire situations in life?
10. If I had to do it all over again, what life experiences could I avoid with a
more open heart and mind?
Other motivational reflections to help you think of an experience you could turn into
a Telling:
By focusing on the positive outcomes and treasured teachings resulting from the adversities and trials in your life which you have overcome, you will be able to create powerful Tellings which may assist others who have not yet faced these tests-but eventually will.
For though we like to believe that we are all unique, man faces quite similar experiences in this life on earth: Loss; sorrow; grief; anguish; fear; pain-but also, love; joy; happiness; friendship; success; courage; and growth.
If the sharing of your Tellings can help others as they traverse these obstacles as stepping-stones on their own paths, you will have taken part in one of the most important endeavors we can offer to those who follow along after us: Wisdom and Hope.
All that is necessary is for you to take a moment to reflect on those things in your life which have brought you the truths by which you now live. These were hard-earned lessons.
Others are waiting to hear from you. Speak from the heart, that place of divine knowledge and intelligence. Be gentle with yourself and realize that your Telling is important-you have given your life for it! Now it is a gift you can offer to others.
As one of Goethe's couplets encourages,
"…Until one is committed there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too."
"All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would come his way."
"Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it."
The magic of your Telling can bring healing and peace to others. It is your TellingTouch.

Other motivational reflections to help you think of an experience you could turn into
a Telling:
- Who are you now in relation to who you used to be?
- What do you want out of life and how has that changed since you were younger?
- What keeps you moving forward in life?
- What has taught you to let go of things in life which held you back?
- How do you keep your focus on the future? How do you treat the past
- What is working in your life now that you've learned many of its lessons?
- How does your pattern of living serve you? Others?
- What actions are habitual in your life now and what ones still take a lot of effort?
- Where are you headed from here? Have your goals changed with life experience?
