What’s your melody line (18 of 40)

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

It’s a beautiful day, don’t let it get away. - U2

Whether or not you’re a fan of the Dublin-based rock band U2, if you’ve heard their song “Beautiful Day” on your iPod or over the airwaves, you might automatically recall the melody line. For others, maybe we needed the sticky nine words above to conjure up the melody line, and now we’re in another world, singing the entire song.

Melody lines wield that type of power and that type of potential.

As we might expect, Bono, humanitarian and main vocalist of U2, is often associated with the term melody line. He’s a singer, after all, and for one of the biggest rock bands of all time.

But what might surprise you is how Bono himself uses that term.

Are you more scared of the dark…or the light?

Posted on May 8, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when adults are afraid of the light.

-Plato

She’s 79. He’s 76. What’s your excuse?

Posted on May 1, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

Nothing fires me up more than people on fire. Recently, I met some old people on fire. The thing is they’re not really old. They’re more alive than many twenty year-olds.

You see most people are dead, they’ve just never made it official. Watch Pete and Pat Gano in the video below. They’ll fire you up.

They’re both working on their first book and they’re starting a business/ministry to help others.

They’re enrolled in a Deeper Path cohort and yesterday they took the next step to become certified. They join 58 other Deeper Path international speakers and coaches.

She’s 79. He’s 76. What’s your excuse?

Fear? Education? Money? Time? Apathy? Lies?

Blah…Blah…Blah..

Stop arguing for that which you don’t want.

Start investing in yourself and your potential.

We’re waiting for you.

The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it. -Unknown

Why we want you to land safely (17 of 40)

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

The choice is ours: Do we want to shake the dice and wait until our unexpected bird strike before we determine our response?

If Captain Sully had waited, he, the crew, the passengers, and the plane would have gone down in flames like other flights before him.

The world is waiting on you to get past what you’re waiting for. We need you to convert your apprehension into productive energy. We need you to dig Deep and act today. We need you to take The Deeper Path. Tomorrow could be your defining moment, the day when your number is drawn.

Use today to prepare for tomorrow.

Know that we’re behind you.

And we want you to land safely.

Because we have a vested interest.

Here’s what’s at stake (16 of 40 )

Posted on April 11, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

Know this: your number will come up. I can’t tell you the exact day of your defining moment, but trust me, it’s coming. And it doesn’t care if you’re ready.

Now our friends and family, they do care. They’re rooting for our success and want us to land safely. But let’s be honest: they have a vested interest too. None of us is flying alone. We all have passengers with us. They’re belted in behind us, praying that our response will prove to be the right one.

But this is much bigger than even the “passengers” directly connected to us. Consider that US Airways Flight 1549 landed in the Hudson River adjacent to midtown Manhattan. Thousands of innocent New Yorkers were engaged in their normal routines that day, completely oblivious to the mass of metal with full fuel tanks descending directly on top of them. You get the picture.

Both our action and our inaction directly and indirectly affect our world

This one was no miracle (15 of 40)

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

Imagine the possibilities.

We could shortcut heartaches, ensure successes, and take strides ahead of our competition. We could excel in relationships, avoid emotional blowups, and center ourselves before uncertainty comes knocking.

We could choose our response ahead of time and guarantee that our defining moments would define us exactly the way we desired.

Many people want none of it. To admit The Deeper Path exists is to admit the need to interact with it. Therefore, many dismiss January 15, 2009 as a fluke or an example of luck in its purest form. Many prefer to label the whole experience as a miracle. And that’s just what they did, referring to this event as the “Miracle on the Hudson.”

But it wasn’t a miracle. For the record, I do believe in miracles. I’ve read about them and have even experienced a few, but I also believe in The Deeper Path that Captain Sully knew and understood. Fortunately for his passengers, he didn’t just know this Path; he practiced it and put it to work for him. In the process he achieved “the most successful ditching in aviation history.”

Was he a hero?

You bet, and the rest of the crew with him. They rightfully received the highest award in aviation. But this “miracle” wasn’t simply happenstance. Rather, this successful emergency landing on the Hudson River resulted from a series of decisions determined long before, and birthed out of something much Deeper.

As Captain Sully told CBS news anchor Katie Couric:

For 42 years, I’ve been making small, regular deposits in this bank of experience: education and training. And on January 15 the balance was sufficient so that I could make a very large withdrawal.”

This cliché is killing you (14 of 40)

Posted on March 28, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

Like me, you’ve probably been sold the same claustrophobic cliché your entire life—that life isn’t fair. Well, what if in this situation it is? What if the universe operates according to specific laws and Sully simply used them to his advantage?

Here’s what I mean: most people accept the Law of Gravity. For example, despite our best intentions, if we step off a cliff, we’re going to fall and crash at the bottom. This law is no respecter of persons—unless we have a hang glider, jet pack, parachute, or some other invention strapped to our back. Unless we bend the law by knowing the law and by putting it to work for us Unless we “cheat the system.”

So what if we could cheat the system with other laws too? What if this is what Captain Sully did?

We don’t get what we want; we get who we are.

Posted on March 25, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

The truth lurking in the shadows (13 of 40)

Posted on March 24, 2013 by Kary Oberbrunner

Nope. Life happened and he didn’t have time for anything except an immediate response. But this is precisely what made Captain Sully a hero. And he didn’t need a bird strike to tell him that. He already knew the secret that sets people like him apart. He acknowledged the reality that is no respecter of persons, race, age, intelligence, income, or education. He knew The Deeper Path and, more importantly, he traveled The Deeper Path.

Unfortunately, although this truth is available to all, it’s understood by only a few. And despite this truth lurking in the shadows on most days, every so often, like on January 15, 2009, life decides to invite it into our awareness, even if for only a brief moment.

But what if we could tease this truth out of hiding, study it, and employ it to our advantage? What if we could make it work for us and not against us? That wouldn’t be fair, now, would it?
