Your Vision

Originally uploaded by wimpers

What do you see in your future? Much the same as you experience today, so no real change or do you see a brighter and more inspiring reality?

Having a vision is important as we develop ourselves to match that experience, and this is when your mind and body will follow, as long as you keep on your path and your vision will come closer to you.

Take today for example: You have responsibilities and things that must get done, it's life you take ownership of your duties and they happen. With this in mind however you need to know it is for a grander purpose, you do this so in 6 months time you will be closer to your goal, or as one client said to me today you chip away at it bit by bit until you have your goal in your sights. This actually motivates most people has they are going to a brighter future.

I knew in my heart that I was going to be a mummy, sure it took a few years and every step I got closer, never giving up because having fertility issues was an obstacle to my vision of motherhood. So I took ownership of our challenges and did whatever I could to make it a reality. Now I see her face and I marvel at this wonderful creation.

So Ask Yourself:
What are the obstacles to your VISION??

Are you prepared to overcome them??

What will it take??

What support do you need??

Make it HAPPEN, it is your life and your vision is worth fighting for!

Facebook ROCKS

Just in the last couple of weeks I have connected with people that I have not seen in over 15 years or more! All made possible because I found them or they found me on Facebook. Who would have imagined this possible 10 years ago? That there would be a software application that found your lost lost friends???

Yes technology has come along way. Seeing my old lost amigos and what life had given them, children, holidays, good health wonderful relationships etc. It is lovely to read up and catch up. I mean how does one begin to sum up the last 15 years? All too much for a simple email that is for sure!

We see ourselves there too, and count our own experiences and successes. I have had many challenges like most people, and have been riding the biggest wave yet, motherhood! It is so much more than you ever read about. It changes you like you would never imagine, it is ALL ABOUT YOUR BABY!

And how un-selfish is that! yes refreshing to say and share with you all. This is the best job in the world, actually it is not a job, it is a pleasure to see her face everyday and make those connections. You are the witness to her first experiences and her awakenings.

Beautiful, and to share this with some cool people, wow that is a bonus, the icing on the cake!

It's Perfect Just the Way it is..

Imagine if we lived our lives like this, just being and accepting things as they were. No feeling of disappointment or getting upset over issues that just keep resurfacing. It would be the ideal way of being right?

Well it can be you know, we just need to let go and be in the now, do what we can to have good intentions and vibrate from the right place. If we are busy looking at the negatives then we stay there and we do not bring what we want into our existence. We cannot bring about what we really want if we are busy judging others, criticising self or feeling down. It is that simple.

To be in bliss is to be in flow and in the right state. That is when all just falls into place and you experience perfection in the moment. The instant you begin to think consciously about the flip-side or hesitate, procrastinate. The magic flow is gone..


Try it sometime, be absorbed in an activity and be in that moment, magic will grow..

Reinvent Yourself

Originally uploaded by daniele.cogo

In my discussions with some very inspiring women today, we openly talked about reinventing our careers. As the economy is not favourable to certain industries like building,car industry, some retail, design and taking holidays, just to name a few. Sure some industries are on the up and this is because they are recession proof.

So we need a PLAN B, what are you prepared to do to keep the cash flow coming in?

Here are some ideas to think about if you are in this situation:

1) Touch base with all your contacts and ask them if they know someone who may need your services?

2) Look at your job and if this is not in alignment with your values and passion, seek a career coach and have a chat about this

3) Promise yourself that you can get through this obstacle

4) Create a budget and stick to it, it is important to be accountable for your expenses and debt.

5) DO you need to retrain? Look at short courses, and get a feel of what is out there

6) Think about offering swaps with other professionals, to get more momentum in your career.

7) Keep nurturing yourself and have a treat once in a while.

After all it starts with you and you need to feel good during change...

Lindt Fun

During Easter I dreamt about Lindt Easter bunnies, and I created some fun Lindt words, here is what I can still recall:

Lindt-errific

Lindt-me-up

Lindt-ime

Lindt-so-good

Lindt-melt-in-your-mouth

Lindt-does-it-again

Lindt-comes-to-town

Lindt-is-timeless

Lindt-ROCKS

Lindt-Tease

There is no other like Lindt Easter Bunnies, no one comes close! Well in my opinion anyway!

ZERO Tolerance

Originally uploaded by KTImages

What are you tolerating right now? And is this serving you? If not then what do you need to do to move from it and go to a better, happier place?

I am thinking a lot about this recently, I had a powerful session last night with a client and I am always amazed at what people are tolerating. Toxic relationships that serve no purpose except to keep you in the past. Keep you disempowered and un able to really move forward no matter how much you want a better future you are in limbo land.

This is when you need to draw a line and DECIDE once and for all, to get resolution and to FORGIVE. This way they are not holding any more power over you (energetically of course!) as you let them go and get the learnings and start moving forward. When we have energy cords to these people we just play the same tune, we just cannot move because this impacts the relationship and there are consequences. If you are unhappy in this relationship then you owe it to yourself to value your independence,your freedom and trust that you are making the right decision to let go..

Some people have zero tolerance for others, because they want to keep the control. (whatever that is for them). This is really lack of trust, they simply do not trust the world and look for examples each day to validate this.

So if you are the master of your own destiny what do you WANT? Ask yourself this instead and create the life you deserve!

Coaching Feedback!

I thought I would share my latest testimonal from my client. He is still a client, and we are now working on new goals, new challenges and more exciting momentum. I can already see him achieving the next step, as he is SO COMMITTED to his SUCCESS! He is honest, open to change and the type of client that bring out the best in me!

Paola helped me to regain my focus and clarity on what are the most important goals I want to achieve. It has been absolutely amazing meeting with her as I gain such incredible ideas and insights on how to best achieve my goals. She helps me to stay on my path. She also helped me find my dream job!

I was really confused and frustrated several times. Paola helped me to get out of toxic relationships and unsatisfying and unfulfilling jobs that were holding me back. Countless times she has helped me to gain the discipline and motivation to move in the direction of my goals.

Avoidance Dance

Originally uploaded by letgoandletsgo

Usually I write positive blogs with some learnings or personal development themes.

Well lately I have been feeling that our clients are just avoiding us. Yes not making any contact. They want assistance and we have a few sessions, all going great, so we think! Then a few weeks or days later, nothing NADA. It appears that they have skipped the country and now living in Mars! In most professional companies it is important to confirm appointments, yes we do that. However if someone wants to bail out they have that preorgative, after all we only want to work with people who are committed to making a change in their lives. These particular people are excited about coaching, they commit to the coach and then, like a magic disappearing act, they evaporate!

So if like attracts like, then what are we doing that is a reflection of this? What in my life am I avoiding? I am really thinking about this one, so once I can address and take responsiblity my clients can show me the same courtesy. Well I really hope so, because I am huge on communication and respect.

I treat people like this, I treat people like I want to be treated, it is that simple.

In the meantime I am going through some soul searching and patience. There is a lesson here for all of us. The avoidance dance serves no purpose. Only that the person just cannot communicate effectively to the other party and this does not show respect. (In my model of the world)
