Mission Statement or Mantra?

As I facilitated my early morning session at the Entrepreneur’s Master class a few weeks ago I could hear a subtle yet obvious groan as “Establishing your Business Vision and Mission” was announced as the topic.  Had I not known what I was going to propose I would have probably shared their lack of enthusiasm [...]

Are you a Master of Manifesting?

The first two months of 2012 have passed so quickly!  How have you been progressing toward the goals you set at the beginning of the year?   Could you benefit from an injection of positive energy and support from a group of like-minded individuals? If you are you ready to be a part of something special [...]

What Are Your Core Values?

I was reminded the other day about the importance of remaining true to our personal and business values. While presenting at our inaugural Entrepreneur’s Master Class to a highly enthusiastic audience we discussed in depth the importance of being clear about core values in our businesses.  While many business experts consider a vision the most [...]

The Roman God of Beginnings

Coincidentally (or not as is my usual finding), as I was preparing myself to attend tomorrows end of year Beyond Success seminar I came across a piece of information about a mythological Roman God called Janus that is quite relevant and worthy of sharing.

In the Distance Between Things…

Like many, I have been caught up in the Pre-Christmas rush that somehow seems to consume anything and everything that I do for the four weeks leading up to Christmas.  While most of my organising is done by December 1st (a challenge I like to set for myself to maximise the opportunity for a joyful [...]

I have been wanting to watch the movie “Letters to Juliet” for some time now (knowing full well that it would be a tear jerker) and I finally created the opportunity for myself this week – I wasn’t disappointed. The movie is about an American girl, Sophie, (Amanda Seyfried) on vacation in Italy who finds [...]

I recently watched the movie “Then She Found Me” directed by and staring Helen Hunt, co starring Bette Midler and Colin Firth.  The storyline follows a New York schoolteacher who hits a midlife crisis when, in quick succession, her husband leaves, her adoptive mother dies and her biological mother, an eccentric talk show host, materializes [...]

Using Your Personal History as an Excuse

How much of your day do you spend thinking about your personal history?  Events that have happened, words people have said to you, labels that have been placed on you – but perhaps the more relevant question is, how often do you use your personal history as an excuse not to take risks or follow [...]

Finding Your Purpose in Life

What is your calling?  Do you listen to it? Patangeles the father of meditation once said, “when you are inspired by some great purpose or some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds.  Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new and great and [...]

The Principle of Contemplation

Contemplation is the continuous use of your thought process to elevate the concept of ourselves to where we want ourselves to be. Our thoughts begin the process of materialisation. Contemplation is a kind of action in and of itself. When we contemplate ourselves surrounded by the conditions which we intend to produce – we get [...]
