Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you were scared to let go? Scared to fail? Scared to trust in yourself and your higher guidance?
Time to Say Goodbye to Heavy Lifting
Just recently I was listening into a conference call from America when the speaker mentioned four words that literally shook my foundation. What were those four little words … very simply … “No More Heavy Lifting”.
You see the reason that these words resonated so strongly with me is that in that holy instant I realised that deep within my being was a part of me that was highly driven. Driven to get things done. Driven to be successful. Driven to improve and be better.
The only problem was … that underlying this ‘driven motivation’ was really a fear of fully trusting myself, fully trusting my own guidance, trusting that if I was to let go of trying to control and make everything work out the way I wanted, that maybe, just maybe it would all work out in divine timing and perfection anyway!
The result … a feeling of working tirelessly … working hard … of always feeling like what I was doing was never enough …. i.e. “Lot’s of Heavy Lifting!”
Escaping a Fear Driven World
While it may surprise you … I believe that I’m not the only one out there in the world experiencing this at this moment. You see, our world has been wired to believe that we do have to work hard, that we do have to strive and sometimes struggle to get ahead. That only those who sacrifice and are at the peak of their game will get to the top of their personal field of endeavour.
But could there be another way? Could this paradigm that we have so desperately bought into really be a false illusion guaranteed to keep us stuck in the comfort of the ego’s need for security and survival?
A global consciousness that has us buy into the belief system that true freedom, joy and happiness are something that requires lots of “Heavy Lifting”.
The Essential Questions
So what can we all do to allow our lives to flow with greater ease, peace and grace?
How can we let go and allow our highest lives to unfold and to flourish without stress?
What if in letting go of our attachment to the outcomes we most want in life we simply allowed even greater miracles to manifest?
These were all questions that arose from the gift of my
spiritual and personal dilemma of “Heavy Lifting”.
While some of us are already great students of the ‘Following the Path of Surrender’, I was guided that many of us (yes – including myself) were still to learn and experience the great benefits of this most wonderful lesson.
Insights for Following the Path of Surrender
So here are a couple of insights that I gleamed through my own experience and connection with higher guidance that may help you to ‘surrender’ to your own peace, flow and grace in your life:
#1 We fear letting go because we fear trusting in our higher source
Have you ever found yourself trying to be ‘the master controller’ of the universe? Do you find yourself sometimes wanting to make situations and events turn out the way that YOU want?
While all of us have a need to feel safe and secure, its also in these moments that we create our greatest attachment to the known, and what is certain, rather than trusting in ourselves and our higher guidance.
True faith is the ability to walk forwards without knowing. To find the inner-strength and belief in oneself to know that you are guided, you are loved and always looked after. When we fear letting go – we really fear trusting our higher source and guidance. The result? Our higher guidance simply takes a step back and allows us to drive, to learn on our own, and to fail and grow through our own experience.
However, when we surrender. When we hand over our greatest problems, our greatest concerns and know that we are in partnership with spirit, this is when our guides, masters, teachers and loved ones engage in our experience. This is when we receive and listen to the signs. When life flows and we feel that every step is guided. Heavy lifting becomes smooth sailing – and all we have to do is set our sail and enjoy the journey, enjoy the ride and trust we will reach the best destination for us (which of course, may not necessarily be the destination WE WANT!).
#2 We don’t need to know everything
So many of us wait until we have all the information, all the resources, all the certainty before we follow our inner-tuition, our inner-most intuition and take action towards our inner-most dreams and desires.
In the world of higher-guidance, the unknown holds your greatest resources and possibility for growth. Yet as human beings we fear these places. So how do we transcend our humanness, our need to know before acting?
By learning to embrace the understanding that we simply don’t need to know the outcome. All we need to do is tune into our spirit, our own guidance and ask ‘Does doing this feel good?”, “Will embracing this next step feed my soul?”, “ Will this next action bring me greater expansion, joy, growth and fulfilment in my life?”
If the feeling response from your own being, your own soul is yes … then simply take the next step.
# 3 Letting Go of the ‘Paddling Duck’ Syndrome
Have you ever noticed a duck gracefully gliding across a glistening lake? On first observations you may see a very cool level headed guy going about his daily business of foraging for food. Yet look beneath the surface and what you’ll see is a pair of duck legs paddling very quickly to stay afloat.
While ‘paddling duck syndrome’ may not just be reserved for ducks, you’ve probably also know certain people in your life that – ‘appear to have it all together’ but below the surface are paddling hard to stay afloat. Some of us may even know these people personally!
It takes a lot of effort to keep up an appearance, to make things look like they are going swimmingly well, when deep down inside the fear of falling a part and not being ‘on top of it all’ creates even greater tension.
Sometimes in these moments we’re really being called to seek help, to step beyond the illusions of ‘I can handle it’ and just say – “Hey I’m a human being having a very vulnerable experience, and that’s ok”. So stop, ask for help. Know that its ok to seek out a mentor, a coach, spiritual or inner-guidance to help you through the challenging times in life.
Most of all learn to love your inner-duck even more, and to affirm to it that there’s no need to paddle hard … indeed there’s no need for heavy lifting at all. And in the silence of your inner stillness you may just find the reassurance, hope and possibility that you have been so frantically looking to find!
Creating a New Consciousness of Ease
So my prayer, wish and desire for you for you in this year, this moment, this time in your evolution as a spiritual being having this human experience … is to simply let go of your “Heavy Lifting”.
The more that we as a humanity of connected beings embrace the consciousness of flow, peace, grace and surrender, the more we begin to create it as new paradigm, a new way of being in our world.
An Invocation for Renewed Grace, Peace and Ease
To the divinity within all that is seen and unseen. I know that in my humanness of this experience I don’t know everything – and that’s ok. I know that at times I feel the uncertainty and pressure of this life as my journey unfolds.
Which is why I need your help. Which is why I crave to grow closer to you, to experience your guidance, reassurance and benevolence in this moment.
Fill me anew. Fill me with your trust, your grace, your unending reassurance. Help me to see and believe at the core of my soul and spirit that I am ALWAYS guided, loved and open to receiving help and divine assistance. Help me to let go of my ego’s need to know, to control, and to hold on to this myself. Help me to surrender to divine guidance and grace in all moments. Help me find peace in the knowing that that there is a divine plan for life and soul, and that all I is accept it and trust that it will unfold perfectly.
I now release all ‘heavy lifting’ from my life. I now surrender to the path of grace, ease and flow. Knowing that my life will unfold perfectly in divine timing, grace and perfection for all involved.
And in knowing and trusting – I am set free to simply be me.
You Are Already Leading the Way…
In this context we all becomes the leaders of change in our own worlds … the light-bearers who lead the way, creating smooth ripples of divinely inspired progress for others to follow. And the wake that we leave in the midst of our ‘smooth sailing through life’ becomes the holy record of our transcendence to a new way of being, living and turning up in our world.
Affirmation for today: “I am open to receiving Divine Grace, Help and Assistance”
I wish you much grace, peace and flow on this exciting journey that we are all taking.
Well, it’s almost the end of another year, and if you’re like most people you’ve probably been busy getting ready for Christmas and the Holiday Season.
While December is usually a very busy time for most people, its also provides a great opportunity to take a some time away to reflect on the year that has passed, and to set your intentions for the new year to come.
So today I’d like to share with you a simple life strategy that really has made a significant difference in my life over the last few years that I have been using…
… and very simply its called ‘Setting a Life Theme’.
So What’s a Life Theme?
You see often we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to set goals and to make New Year resolutions that simply don’t come to fruition, or that simply don’t inspire or uplift our lives.
Setting a Life Theme on the other hand is more playful, more engaging, and is less definitive. It really is the canvass upon which you the artist can freely paint the story of your life over the coming year.
So what is a ‘Life Theme’? It’s a general theme or intent for how you would like to see your next year manifest. It becomes the metaphor by which your conscious and unconscious intentions are aligned to create, manifest and bring into being your highest life.
Examples of Some Life Theme Intention Might Be …
Sailing Easily Into an Ocean of Prosperity
Standing Up, Stepping Out, Living Courageously
Being the Change I Want to See
Embrace the Truth of Love in all I Do
Celebrate the Gift of Life One Day at a Time
Living Life on Purpose
Devotion to the Divine Within
3 Keys for Setting a Great Life Theme in 2014
Key #1 – Make it Engage Your Heart and Soul
It probably goes without saying – the best life themes are those that fully engage your whole heart and soul. So be playful, make it engaging, allow it to express your highest intent for the year ahead.
Infusing your theme with positive emotions helps to energise it and make it even more attractive, accelerating its opportunity to manifest and present in your life.
Ideally your life theme should stretch you beyond what is comfortable, yet be inspiring enough to make you cry!
Key #2 – Make Sure It Serves the Greater Good
It has been scientifically proven through muscle testing that the most potent and life affirming goals are usually those that have a greater outcome, a greater purpose. When your life theme not only serves you, but also serves others, and the greater good – then that elevates the vibration of your theme in consciousness allowing it to create with greater effectiveness.
Key #3 – Make It Short – And Give It Focus
As human beings we often like to complicate things. We like to make our goals and dreams often more fancy and elaborate than we need them to be. While clarity gives power, too many words and too greater dialogue also create confusion and chaos.
So make your life theme short. If you can manage to write your theme for the year in just 2-3 words then you extract the core essence of its nature. A few words also gives you the flexibility to allow consciousness and creation to manifest your intent in a myriad of ways without being tied down to just one physical form, way or method.
Going Within to Find Your ‘True’ Life Theme
Finally, remember that your ‘true’ life theme doesn’t exist within your head. Its actually held deep within your heart and soul. So make sure to use the accompanying mediation process to go within, to seek the Divine within you, to reach into the core of your heart and see where your soul wants you to navigate and manifest in 2014!
“We are powerful creative beings that determine our future with every thought we think and every word we speak.”
Cheryl Richardson
Just finished reading a great excerpt from a the book “You can Create an Exceptional Life” by Louise Hay and Cheryl Richardson.
Some mornings I will just wander through my bookshelf seeking out something that will give me a little inspiration, direction or guidance. Often I will just open up to a page and see what the first words are that stand out to me. As far back as I can remember my guides, angels and helpers in spirit have always provided intuitive guidance to me via the books I find or read. Makes me think I could have been a librarian in a past life!
Its funny, but sometimes I think we overcomplicate our lives. In the search for greater happiness, success and meaning, its easy to lose track of the fact that we are always connected to spirit, that we are always an extension of the divine source that flows through us, and through everything.
Our thoughts energy and vibration are consistently drawing to us or repelling what we do or do not want. So it goes without saying the conscious awareness of our thoughts, our intentions and our words in each moment becomes a lesson in expanded spiritual development and transformation.
So this morning as I turned and opened this book … I came across the personal story of how Cheryl Richardson at a moment when she was feeling stuck and held back in her own life visited friend Wyatt Webb, author of its ‘Not About the Horse’. Wyatt created the Equine Experience a process that uses horses as a mirror to show how we as human beings relate with each other.
Wyatt had sensed that Cheryl had been holding onto some unrepressed anger. So he took her to one of the horse stables, and simply asked her to send her thought and intention out to a horse in the corner – and get it to turn around. As you can imagine Cheryl was a little bewildered at the question, yet proceeded to go ahead with the request. Try as she might, nothing happened.
Have you ever experienced this in your own life? Where no matter how hard you ‘try’, how much effort you put into attracting or creating something – you just seem to end up with nada, zero, nothing!
I know I have, and the reality is it’s frustrating, limiting and causes our own energy to contract, rather than expand.
So do we allow our life, business, relationship intentions to manifest with greater ease? Here are a few keys I’ve picked up along my journey – that may help!
1) The Power of Intention is in Your Heart – Not Your Head
Often in my coaching, healing, guidance and mentoring sessions with clients, I’ll often ask them a question, and its interesting to see where their energy first flows. In most cases as human beings we are so conditioned to go straight to our heads in search of the answer. In many ways we have made the head the ‘king’, not realising that our hearts are in fact the ‘queen’ – and as we know the women in every household usually gets her way!
In the story of Cheryl Richardson and the horse, Wyatt could see that Cheryl was trying to expert ‘effort’ through her mind to achieve the result. However effort, hard work and striving will only get you so far in the energetic era that we have entered into. Noticing this, Wyatt had the awareness and presence to ask her to stop trying with her head, and instead push the energy, and intention out with and through her heart. The result? You guessed it. The horse did a lap of the stable and turned around to face her directly!
The moral of the story – the greatest results will often come with greater flow and ease when we realise that it is our deepest heartfelt intentions that have the power to manifest more gracefully and easily, if only we would allow them.
2) Infuse Your Highest Emotion (Energy in Motion)
Intention is thought vibration. All energy and vibration needs a stimulus, a force to enable it to travel and move through space. Your emotion is in fact energy in motion. Therefore when you associate high vibration energy with your highest intent you provide the catalyst for major transformational change.
Through his study of consciousness Dr. David Hawkins discovered that Love, Gratitude, Feeling Blessed and Compassion were some of the greatest energies around. When we weave these emotions into the tapestry of our intentions, we create high level convictions. Energetic impulses of though vibration that permeate the ether and establish themselves in ways that literally pull together our intentions into physical reality. From spirit, to thought, to conceptualisation, to formation, to realisation – we are always constantly evoking and creating our world a new in each moment. With every breath, every heart beat – your essence – and your presence is liberating life into form.
3) Intention + Attention + No Tension
When you create with intent it is helpful to check in and see what expectations you are holding onto. As human beings we have a natural tendency to seek safety and security. Our past hurts, upsets and disappointments create the energetic barriers that often seen to keep us separated from our highest good.
Just think for a moment? Have you ever wished for something that you really, really wanted – but it never eventuated? Maybe it was a desire to be with a certain person in relationship. Maybe it was a need to create and have greater finances. Maybe it was the need to have a certain person in your life behave and react in a certain way.
So, how did you feel? Where did you feel it? Did it leave you with a feeling of love, worthiness and confidence? Or did it leave you feeling unworthy, fearful and disappointed?
Our greatest intentions often manifest with the greatest ease, when we simply allow ourselves to let go of the tension. Often this tension comes from our past experiences. Yet by letting our energy flow, by allowing ourselves to trust, we create a greater conduit for universal energy to manifest into form. All we need to do – is to allow our intention and attention to harmonise and to project it through our hearts with love. Then await and act upon the divine guidance we receive.
4) Surrendering to Uncertainty and Vulnerability
Many of us have heard the old saying “you’ve got to surrender”, “you just have to Let Go and Let God”. But often this is easier said, than done in practice!
Why do we feel it hard to let go? Because as human beings we naturally seek to be safe, secure and certain. Our ego selves often have a hard time comprehending a space where we can step into uncertainty, where we can embrace the vulnerability of a moment, and not have to know the answer or do something.
So how do we really let go? By first noticing where our inner-motivations for what we want to create and manifest in our lives is coming from. Is what you want coming from fear or love? Is what you feel attached to really a need to hold onto something you believe is missing or incomplete in your life? A need to be loved. A need to be appreciated. A need to look good?
What ever you perceive as missing in your life will keep you attached to it. Surrendering therefore requires a need to do an inner stock take. To let go of the unhealthy attachments that no longer serve or support you.
5) Life Reflects Your Worthiness
Have you ever noticed that life doesn’t always reflect back to you what you most expect, but who you really are?
Have a read of that statement again. Let it sink into your presence. For within it is the key to allowing your best and magical life to present to you. Your self-worth and self-image exists at the cornerstone of your ability to powerfully manifest and create what you want in life. But you will only attract that which you are internally ready to receive.
Therefore the key to releasing your highest good is to begin with self-acknowledgement and self-appreciation. Unless we appreciate ourselves, love ourselves and acknowledge ourselves on a daily basis, our self-esteem and self-image will be defined by other people’s opinions and projections.
You are the author of your life.You dictate each moment what you are willing and ready to receive, and what you are willing to settle for. Change your inner-expectation and value of yourself, and you automatically change the value that the universe, God and Divine Source desires to rewards you with.
What do you want the rest of your life to be about?
In the absence of all fear, who would you not be afraid to be?
If life handed you a ‘golden ticket’ what dream would you manifest?
If you won $70 million how would you spend the rest of your life?
Why ask these questions? Why ask them now?
Because at this point in time humanity as we know it rests on an all important threshold – a threshold that holds within it the potential for great change and tremendous transformation on all levels. However in order for this global and world change to take place, it requires a new generation of leader, men and women who are willing to rise up and find the courage and strength within themselves, to first transform their own lives in doing so transform our world.
“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” – Gandhi
There is no coincidence that you have been drawn to this place, to read this article, and to question and delve into the relevance of it for your life.
For you are one of the many ‘spirited warriors’ and leaders around the world that at this time in humanity’s consciousness is being called, summoned and gathered to be the force of change, first in your own life, second in the lives of those you love, and finally as a powerful example in the world.
So how do you embrace this new quest, this new mission?
The Answer:Exists simply in being willing each and everyday to embrace, engage and enact ‘small acts of courage’ in your daily life.
The greatest barrier to all human evolution and growth is the ego’s fascination and preoccupation with the emotion of fear. Fear of the unknown. Fear of financial security. Fear of not being safe. Fear of being hurt or abandoned. Fear of being rejected. Fear of being unloved.
The good news however, is that in each of the situations that you experience fear, you are also presented with a unique opportunity to choose in favour of your highest self, to choose in favour of your soul, to choose to embrace courage.
So each day, as you go about your daily lives, take a moment in the morning before you start your day to expand your own consciousness, your own internal capacity to move beyond the mind’s limits that keep you captive, and instead seek to find your power, unleash your potential and BE courageous by answering the following questions:
Where in life is my soul calling out for more joy?
What am I afraid would happen if surrendered and let go of my attachment to success?
What one small act of courage can I take today that would bring me greater happiness, joy and fulfilment?
Remember, courage is not something that you need to find.
It doesn’t exist outside of you. It is part of your essential nature, it is an inherent and everlasting aspect of your soul already. All it needs is for you to stand in your power and embrace it.
To respond with courage, when life would want you to react. To stand-up and be counted, when life would have you hide. To take responsibility, when life would have you blame outside influences. To speak your truth, when life would have you keep your feelings hidden. To be your authentic self, when life would have you give in to other’s expectations and needs.
Every moment is an opportunity to show the world your truth. To be COURAGEOUS.
Life Wisdom for Today
“Feel the fear, but do it anyway!” – Susan Jeffers
What can a simple, ordinary, everyday Hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins teach us about life and leadership?
Well if you’re anything like the millions of adults and children world-wide who have already seen this phenomenon of movie, you’ll realise that there are a few key ingredients that every life adventurer, hero and ‘quest taker’ needs to be successful on the journey towards rediscovering the courage, power and purpose within.
After close to 3 hours of stunning landscapes, epic battles fraught with danger, incredible computer generated imagery, and an ending that left everything up in the air The Hobbit which has already taken in excess of $1 billion dollars at the box-office world-wide certainly has a story and deeper message for all of us.
So here it is …
My Top 8 Life and Leadership Lessons from Middle Earth …
That will help you develop greater courage, certainty and confidence to follow your own personal life quest.
1. You Must Be Willing to Leave Home
As with all great adventures the quest for greatness always begins … well from ‘The Beginning’! In the case of The Hobbit a young Bilbo Baggins finds that his first step in embracing the ‘unexpected adventure’ is simply that he needs to first leave the comfort of his own home. The place where he has his routine, is accustomed to habit, where there is no uncertainty or challenges to be faced.
All of us have our own homes. The quiet little places that we call our comfort zones. All of us also have at sometime chosen to stay where we are, rather than take a leap of faith, a step of courage and join an amazing adventure of life.
The Lesson: You will never find your holy grail until you have the courage to leave the comfort of your own home.
So where do you need to leave home? What unexpected adventure do you need to step out and embrace today?
2. You Need a Team on a Quest
Have you ever noticed that nearly every person who has ever been successful in life – did not get their on their own? After all … any quest that is worthwhile needs the support, alliance, skills and encouragement of a committed and supportive team.
Along his journey the young Hobbit Bilbo is joined by a wizard, dwarves and elves, each with their own skills, talents and innate abilities. Some can fight, others shoot arrows, some weave magic, while others provide encouragement, acknowledgement and support.
The Lesson:Don’t struggle on your own, when all around you are people with the skills and willingness to help.
So… what door do you need to knock on? Who do you need to ask? Who needs to be a vital part of your leadership team?
3. You Need an Inspiring Vision
How do you get people to follow you on a quest? Especially when that quest may involve uncertainty, challenges and hardships?
Every great leader knows that an ‘inspired vision’ is the fuel that brings people together as one, and creates the inspiration and influence to unleash real magic in the world.
The Lesson:Vision ignites souls. Vision connects. Vision has the capacity to powerfully create change.
Is your life or business vision clear? Does it inspire you? Does it move you to be filled with tears of joy, happiness, gratitude? Remember – if doesn’t move you – how can you expect it to move others.
4. You Need to Believe in Magic
Isn’t it funny how as children we can believe that anything is possible, yet as we grow older we lose that sense of enchantment, that sense of mystery and wonder to even believe in the unbelievable?
The reality is that each of us have access to our own wizard, our own ‘Gandalf’ within. The power to weave and create magic within our lives is not outside of us, it’s an inherent part of our soul that is just waiting to be awakened.
The Lesson:To create magic in your life you first have to believe in it. To believe in it you have to know that you are the co-creator.
That by shifting your awareness, your consciousness, your thoughts and beliefs – just maybe , you can create miracles – powerful shift in perception.
What do you believe in currently impossible to change? Where do you feel stuck and limited? What would truly owning your power mean to you?
5. Find Your Courage
A great revelation from the unexpected adventure of Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit is that courage in not found in the absence of fear. But rather true courage is the ability to take action in spite of great fear.
Every great leader and master has experienced some form of fear in the midst of pursuing their highest goals and dreams. The question is: will you choose to act from a place of “creation” or “desperation”, will you choose to “respond” or “react” to your situation?
The first is driven by a belief in self and the faith that the power to create the results you want are within you right now. While latter is driven by fear, a need to escape or get out of a situation that causes you grief, pain or hardship.
The Lesson:Your greatest life challenge now, also holds within it the seed of great opportunity. How you choose to respond or react is up to you.
What action do you now need to take in the face of your greatest fear or challenge?
6. It’s What’s Underground that Often Matters Most
At one point in The Hobbit movie Bilbo and his faithful companions find themselves captured underground, beneath the earth in the goblin’s lair. A place that is just filled with nightmarish ghouls that want to destroy them.
Often when we look at our life results we can sometimes feel disappointed and disillusioned that we are not where we ideally want to be. We can easily look at what’s happening in our life on the surface, and question why we’re not producing the financial fruits, the relationship fruits, the career and business fruits that we really desire. However as T. Harv Eker often says “It’s the roots that create the fruits”.
Just like in The Hobbit sometimes we have to look for the goblins, the beliefs and limiting patterns, that exist within our own unconscious thoughts that lie beneath the surface. Just knowing that we have almost 60,000 thoughts a day of which 90% are the same as yesterday should tell us something!
The Lesson:If the “roots create the fruits” then you had better start first attending to what’s really beneath the surface of your own consciousness.
7. You Need to Find Your Inner-Warrior
Go back 1000 or even 2000 years and you’ll notice that in the shadow of the great wars, battles and conflicts was an inherent ‘warrior spirit’ within the heart and souls of men and women who were driven by the need for survival, and the glory of conquest.
In our modern world, we have almost forgone the need to connect with our ‘inner warrior’ that part of every man and women that can be the fuel, the fire and the persistence needed to realise a chosen objective. After all, how many of us really feel threatened by our existence, how many of us find ourselves in situations of survival or battle every day.
While many may shirk at the notion of being a ‘warrior’, sometimes in life we need to find the inner-courage, the inner-fire, the positive anger that helps us to ‘take back our power’ and breakthrough limitations that keep us captive or stuck. Even Bilbo Baggins had to pick up his Elven sword and find the courage to step forward and slay the wilder beast.
Life Lesson:Don’t be afraid of showing your ‘inner-warrior’. When you channel your positive anger towards a worthy cause, you ignite the spirit of destiny that exists within every leader.
Where do I need to pick up my sword and fight for what I believe in today?
8. The Movie Doesn’t End
If you’re like me, then you were probably left feeling a little deflated with the ending of The Hobbit – An Unexpected Adventure.
Just when it appears that good had triumphed over evil, and that the adventurers were about to realise their quest – the movie ended. Yes ended, without any resolution, without any conquest, without completion. Why? Because the director in his or her wisdom knew that the real story was not complete, that in fact there just might be another movie or two still before we arrive at our destination.
Isn’t it funny how our lives are pretty much the same. We are here for a moment in eternity, a fleeting glimpse between a birth and a death, where the only things we will take our life experiences, the ways that we have grown and the gratitude for the people we have most influenced.
Life Lesson:Great leaders know that they only have a short time in this life. Perspective helps us to realise that we only have a moment to make a difference. To stand for something great that we believe in. And to be the very best that they can be.
So what do you want the rest of this movie that is your life to be about??
