Parents! Relax! All is well. All you need is an endless supply of cash, energy and patience. What you need is a means to usher in various opportunities for the aforementioned amenities to manifest!

Now, I know you think I’m being glib about this but I’m serious. It is in the ‘quiet’ moments, the ‘peace’ of mind, that we are able to bring forth our most efficient ideas for wealth creation, our most laser focused energy, our deepest reserves of patience when most needed (be it child discipline, nutty adults or bad traffic).

I propose, to help us usher in various opportunities, that we ‘seize moments’. We take hold of them, capture them and melt into them silently, thoroughly, lovingly. Melt into moments and extend them into minutes, then hours. From this exercise, will materialize, surprisingly deep wells of patience, a fulfilled life fed by lots of energy and mountains of cash. I know. It’s happened to me. I’ve done this before.

But, how to ‘seize the moments’? When you find yourself at the end of a sentence in your busy head, stop there and hold the silence, the space between sentences, for as long as you can. When I find myself ‘waiting’ anywhere, I ‘seize the moment’. When feeling compelled to ‘say it for the hundredth time to your kid’, put the Save Your Breath CD on to say it for you, then go ‘seize the moment’.

What other ways can you think of to ‘seizing the moment’?
