Yourself, first.

I'm often asked the question, "How can I best help my
children, spouse, family member, staff member, friend etc.
improve/change?" In fact that might be the most frequently
asked question I receive, "How can I help change someone
else?"

My answer often comes as a surprise and here it is. The key
to helping others is to help yourself first. In other words,
the best contribution I can make to someone else is my own
personal development.

If I become 10 times wiser, 10 times stronger, think of what
that will do for my adventure as a mother... as a
wife.. as a business colleague.

The best gift I can give to you, really, is my ongoing
personal development. Getting better, getting stronger,
becoming wiser. I think parents should pick this valuable
philosophy up.

If the parents are okay, the kids have an excellent chance
of being okay. Work on your personal development as parents;
that's the best gift you can give to your children.

If you have ever ridden in an airplane, then you might have
noticed the oxygen compartment located above every seat.
There are explicit instructions that say "In case of an
emergency, first secure your own oxygen mask and then if you
have children with you then secure their masks."

Take care of yourself first... then assist your children. If
we use that same philosophy throughout our whole parental
life, it would be so valuable.

If I learn to create happiness for myself, my children now
have an excellent chance to be happy. If I create a unique
lifestyle for myself and my spouse, that will be a great
example to serve my children.

Self-development enables you to serve, to be more valuable
to those around you; for your child... your business... your
colleague... your community... your church.

That's why I teach development skills. If you keep refining
all the parts of your character, yourself, your health, etc.
so that you become an attractive person to the marketplace -
you'll attract opportunity. Opportunity will then begin to
seek you out.

Your reputation will begin to precede you and people will
want to do business with you. All of that possibility is
created by working on the philosophy that success is
something you attract by continually working on your own
personal development.

Good & Bad

I am not in Love with you, but it does not mean I don’t love you.

Taking the good with the bad is apart of everyday life. I recently advised one of friends not to settle anything for less then what they want, however I feel I am joking on my own words because no matter what the situation is there is always a pro and a con, in order to find happiness we must learn to take the good with the bad.

Recently I have discovered a little more about friendship. Some come and go, some appear for a reason, some bring laughter and some bring conflicts but at the end of the day we lay in the bed we made.

Slow & Steady ..like a turtle =]

"Slow and steady wins the race."

Its not glamorous, but
its true. The tragedy is that most people never even get in
the race, and many of those who do hope that success comes
easily and swiftly.

When it doesnt, theyre out of the race, before it really
begins. What they dont realize is that the decision to be
unstoppable is never made just once. It is made moment by
moment ....again and again.

Setbacks are inevitable. In fact, they're evidence that
we're doing something. The more mistakes we make, the
greater our chance of success. Failures indicate a
willingness to experiment and take risks.

Unstoppable women and men have learned that each failure
brings wisdom and insight that will take them one step
closer to achieving their dreams. When we focus on one
unstoppable moment at a time and stay the course, the end
result will take care of itself.

It's important to remind ourselves that failure is an event,
not a person. If you don't achieve your 30-day goal, does
that make you a failure? If you don't get a promotion at
work, does that make you a failure? If you get married and
then divorced, does that make you a failure? Of course not!

Failure doesn't characterize who you are. It is simply an
event that happens to you. And when you continue to move
forward, despite difficult experiences, you have already
won!

Action: Find the gift in the setback

The next time the outcome you had hoped for doesn't
transpire, look for the gift. Ask yourself the following
questions:

1. What can I learn from what happened?
2. What am I grateful for about this experience?
3. What are the potential benefits of this experience?
4. What is the best way for me to move forward?

Commit to finding the gift in any setback. And in advance,
tell yourself that you will never, never, never quit. If you
don't give up, you simply cannot fail. Not only will you
achieve your dreams, but the combination of your commitment,
courage, and faith will rise as the greatest triumph of all.

A long overdue HELLO TO 2011 =]

Does anyone even read my blog?
Well, anyways, thats besides the point =]

GUESS WHO'S BACK SNITCHES!

I'm starting off with this ...Be a possibilitarian. No matter how dark things seem to be or actually are, raise your sights and see the possibilities -- always see them, for they are always there!

2011; so far so good! Been busy working on my personal life hence my absence on Facebook and such! My husband and I are making some major adjustments in OUR life to prepare for OUR future together. I gotta say; some days are easier then others.

I've learnt that (unfortunately/surprisingly) I am not ALWAYS right. My opinion is not the only one out there. Compromise and make sacrifices. In order for any relationship to work regardless of it being a love relationship, or merely a work relationship ....we must take the time to listen =]

Stress & 50 Ways

OKAY. I KNOW.
Its been ages since Ive updated my blog. But here I am, once againn! Ive been bombarded with a ton of work and what not. Similar to the rest of the human population; I am STRESSED. It just seems like we can never get a break, right? lol If its not one thing, its another thing we gotta deal with. Okay so what the FUCK do we do? .... (no, we cannot jump off a bridge or strangle our bosses/co workers/ in laws ..although I really wish sometimes we could).

50 ways to cope with stress:
get up 15 minutes earlier. prepare for the morning the night before. don’t rely on memory - write things down. repair things that don’t work properly.
make duplicate keys. say ‘no’ more often. set priorities in your life.
avoid negative people. always make copies of important papers.
ask for help with jobs you dislike. break large tasks into bite sized portions.
look at problems as challenges. smile more. be prepared for rain.
schedule a play time into every day. avoid tight fitting clothes.
take a bubble bath. believe in you. visualize yourself winning.
develop a sense of humor. stop thinking tomorrow will be a better today.
have goals for yourself. say hello to a stranger. look up at the stars.
practice breathing slowly. do brand new things. stop a bad habit.
take stock of your achievements. do it today.
strive for excellence, not perfection. look at a work of art.
maintain your weight. plant a tree. stand up and stretch.
always have a plan b. learn a new doodle. learn to meet your own needs.
become a better listener. know your limitations and let others know them too.
throw a paper airplane. exercise every day. get to work early.
clean out one closet. take a different route to work.
leave work early (with permission). remember you always have options.
quit trying to ‘fix’ other people. get enough sleep. praise other people.
relax, take each day at a time - you have the rest of your life to live.
