A New Life to Love Sharon Tan
My flight back to Singapore was unforgettable, I was present to the fact that I have a new life to live. I looked out of the airplane’s window and saw how beautiful the sunrise was! It is as if I have a pair of new eyes to see from. It is quite a remarkable experience. I
understand then why sometimes it is difficult for graduates to tell other
people about the Landmark Forum. Nevertheless the result of the course is
tangible and real in my life. After I did the Landmark Forum, my heart was
blossoming with love for my husband, Joe Yin, the man of my life. It was
quite a transformation. Only six months prior to it I was having lots of
arguments with him! When
I found something great I wanted others to have it too. So I enrolled my
husband to do the Landmark Forum in Sidney, Australia. I was thrilled when
I heard that the Landmark Forum would come to Singapore. Han
Dana, the
webmaster of this website and one of our partners in the US, kept me
informed about it through email and finally in May 2003 I met Ramesh
Ramachandra and our then newly forming team of graduates. At
first I was not sure that I would want to take on the leadership
accountabilities in our team. I have many considerations about the time I
had to spend to do the tasks and I doubted whether I could meet others’
expectation of me. I wanted to spend as much time with my small children,
my daughter Rachel who was 6 years old and my son Mykel, who was 2 years
old. It seemed to me as if I had two conflicting options only - whether to
spend time with my family against the time requested of me for the team. Then
I heard Jerome Downes, our Landmark Forum
Leader, coaching the leadership
team about it. I had a breakthrough! I realized then that the conflict was
not real. The issue might not be about the amount of the time I spend
necessarily. More important
than that is the quality of the time that I can give to the many
commitments of my life. Maybe who I am being at any given time is the
deciding factor whether whatever it is that I do will make a difference. I
have taken on this coaching and it has worked out well for all the things
that I really do care in my life. After
I took on the accountabilities of the Finance and Registration Fulfillment
Team Leader, I had another major breakthrough. I distinguished how I had
settled for a life that had been quite lack-luster. It was so transparent
I hardly noticed it. This opened up a remarkable future for me. I
appreciated the coaching and the support of our incredible team of
graduate leaders in Singapore. Especially at those time of breakdowns when
they used to find me just sobbing, tears just rushed out of me like
rivers! Then the next thing they knew, I surprised them by having a
delightful breakthrough! As we worked our way through the many
difficulties of bringing the work of Landmark Education to Singapore, we
experienced ourselves as a very special Landmark Assisting Team and we had
incredible time of fun and accomplishments together. I
have discovered the enormous privilege as I led the Introduction to the
Landmark Forum to our relatives, friends, colleagues and their friends in
Singapore. I continued to
have many breakthroughs where I found myself profoundly at peace, serene
and empowered to take on the challenges that face us as a team. I found
myself being a leader who makes a difference to myself, my family and
others. This is what the Landmark Assisting Program makes available to
people. In November 2003 I went with Ramesh and Poorani
Thanusha for a special training program in the Landmark Tokyo Center in
Japan. I was amazed to see at what a Landmark Center provided for
graduates there and I really look forward to our own Landmark Center in
Singapore too. I told them I was more than just happy. I was in bliss and so acknowledged because my dream of having the Landmark Forum in Singapore was then being fulfilled! My young daughter Rachel told me that mommy is now fun to be with (she used to say that mommy was suffocating... !) I am the possibility of being present to my own greatness - the possibility of Fearlessness, Unlimited Energy, of Trust of my own inner wisdom. |
