Words Of Wisdom  

"Simplicity of living, if deliberatley chosen,

            implies a compassionate approach to life. It means
             that we are choosing to live our daily lives
with some degree of concious appreciation of
the rest of the world."

Self  Development
 
At the basis of a true self development goal is the search for authenticity - our authentic self.
What do we mean by the search for the authentic self?
Why search for authenticity?
 
Is it for everyone?
 
Why do some of us continually strive for this self development goal when others appear genuinely disinterested?
 
Why this compelling journey inwards, this excavation of the true self, this navigation of a pathway that feels so arduous, fearful and all encompassing?

"When we are dealing with people, let us remember we are not dealing with creatures of logic. We are dealing with creatures of emotion, creatures bustling with prejudices and motivated by pride and vanity."

What is it that inspires you to do your best work? Have you considered what things might be fueling the work of your employees/coworkers? Although unique to each worker, professional drive has a basic core to which everyone can relate. Discover your essential similarities, and use this knowledge to inspire others to cooperate, instead of mandating that they do so.
Don't dictate -- inspire
Don't direct -- win people to your way of thinking
Begin with praise and honest appreciation
Build morale and earn loyalty
Ask questions instead of giving direct orders
Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to

What Elizabeth Kubler-Ross Can Teach Us about Life, Happiness and Pain
 
Every experience can be regarded as a gift. All growth involves pain.
 
 "I have had my share of lifetime experiences and the painful lessons
were the experiences that caused me to grow beyond my wildest dreams.
I have learned hard lessons and experienced painful loss and became a 
wiser, stronger, more compassionate person because of those experiences." Jenn

There is a quote I love, often misattributed to Nelson Mandela: 
Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate, our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God; your playing small doesn't serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God within us. It is not just in some of us, it is in everyone, and as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
 
"Let go of your fears and shine for all to see.  We are the shining star that gives
others the motivation to shine themselves!" Jenn
   
 
May you let yourself Shine this week~ See you next time~!

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat,
known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths.
These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them
with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.
Beautiful people do not just happen."  Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
