Please Dont Waste it!!

Are you wasting potential?

Wasting your Passion?

Wasting your GIFTS?

So many people have secret dreams and goals, and never do anything with them!

Thats terrible!

It's like being given a great big present all wrapped up with a beautiful bow, just waiting to be opened, and it gets put away in the cupboard.

Day after day, after day, you look at it and wonder what it could be! But yet, you never, ever open it and find out.

You might shake it around a little, try and guess what it could be, but you're never really going to know what it is, unless you open it!

Are you making that mistake?

What gifts have you been given?

What Dreams?

What Passions?

You were given them for a reason. Open them up and use them!

Is Work-Life Balance Really Important?

Work-Life Balance
I actually prefer Life-Work Balance. I feel the Work shouldn't be at the top of list.
Work wasn't ever meant to be our whole life, but granted it is a big part of it.
We need to work to have a life, but should we live to work?

It depends.

If we are doing the right job that we were created to do, then we will be getting so much fulfillment out of our work that we will love waking up each day and it wont even feel like work. This can only enhance all areas of our life.

But work should never be so all consuming, that we don't leave anytime for our families or indeed ourselves. We will eventually become rundown and get sick .

To quote a line from one of my favourite movies "The Princess Bride", if you don't have your health, you don't have anything!

Whats more, you will never get that time back with your children or loved ones. They may not be there forever and we can't take them for granted.

Nobody that I have ever heard of has come to the end of their lives and regretted not working more!

So yes, Life-work balance is very important.

You will find it easier to achieve this if you are in the right job for you.

It's Not The The Work, It's the Purpose.

I am reading "The Shack" by William P. Young at present. You may have heard of it and you may not. It's a ±1 New York Times Bestseller and one of the books of the moment and challenges your preconceptions of God.

One of the statements I read last night was this:

"It's not the work, but the purpose that makes it special."

It really stood out for me as that can be so true in our own working lives.

It may not necessarily be the actual job that we are doing that is causing our sense of dissatisfaction and lack of fulfillment. In fact many people love their jobs but feel like there is something missing.

For example one man became aware of his desire to help disadvantaged communities. He stayed in the same job earning big money, but the purpose changed and earning the money now gave him a sense of purpose as he was able to give it to places where it would be well used. What's more, everybody says he is now a much nicer person.

Maybe you just need to get a view of the overall picture. The bible talks about us all being different parts of the body, and that each part is of equal value. The hands get to do their work by the feet taking them there.

How do you view your position? Have you forgotten that you are an important cog in a big wheel?

Our Deepest Fear

“Our deepest 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, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's 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.”

by Marianne Williamson

This is one of my favourite quotes, often attributed to Nelson Mandela because he used it in his 1994 inaugeration speech.

Are You Working Like a Dog?

The dictionary definition of "working like a dog" is that you work very hard.

I was watching some people have a discussion on whether they themselves worked like dogs or were they workaholics or neither?

There seemed to be a bit of a negative connotation applied to working like a dog.

I don't see any problem with working very hard, as long as you enjoy what you are doing.

A workaholic on the other hand cannot sit still. They don't know how to relax, very often their personal lives suffer and they end up with nothing at all except their work lives.

If you watch dogs (I am a bit of a dog fan) they know how to enjoy themselves. I love watching them run around having fun, sticking their noses out of car windows to grab every scent available, and you can't tell me dogs don't smile!

They love to work, they love to be appreciated and they love their rewards no matter how insignificant they may seem to us.

If we as humans got as much pleasure out of the work we were doing, we would be on the right track.

There is no point working like a dog, just trying to get through the week to the weekend, or just through your working years to get to retirement!

Who knows if you will even make it that far.

Life is for living! Make sure you are working in a job that you get satisfaction from while you are working like a dog , and in fact it wont even feel like work as the hours will fly by as you will be enjoying what you are doing.

Working like a dog does mean working very hard, but also if you think about it, it means enjoying it and even having fun while you are doing it.

What Do Others Observe in You?

One of the things I enjoy doing is people watching.

I find people fascinating.

I sat down for a few minutes at the local shopping centre today and just watched the people walking past. How they interacted with each, what kind of looks they had on their faces, how they walked.

You can tell alot about people by watching them

One of the things that has always struck me is that the most attractive looking people aren't necessarily the most physically attractive.

It's the people with a happy face that I find attractive. The big smiles or pleasant, contented dipositions.

When I was little, I remember a girl at our church who always seemed to be smiling, and I remember saying that when I grow up, I want to be like that.

Unfortunately so many people look miserable and very unattractive. I wonder what is not quite right in their lives for them to look like that?

What does your face, walk, smile say about you? Do you have things in your life that aren't quite right yet that need attention so that you can be contented and happy with life?

Can Girls Do Anything?

There was a programme on TV the other night, yes it was a reality programme which I am not normally a fan of, but this one interested me because they took three extremely successful business women, and placed them in a man only environment to see if they could adapt.

In this episode the three women were sent to cattle ranch where they had two weeks to learn to drive cattle. They had to encounter predjudices and chauvenism, and yet they got the job done.

They even earnt the respect of the cowboys.

What it seemed to prove was , that if you have the right attitude and determination, you can achieve what you want to achieve.

Im not not thinking about women in a mans world here, but anyone who wants to do something that others may think is crazy and not feasable.

If you:
Have the right attitude
Have enough drive and determination
Are teachable and can can develop the necessary skills
Have the right kind of support.......

Why shouldn't you be able to anything that you want to do?

There are plenty of people in the world who have done just that.
