What’s Your Time Integrity? (WT418)
Following on from last week where I confessed I had missed an appointment, this week I still want to talk about Time Integrity but in a different way. When I was younger (about 30 years ago), I used to do psychic readings for people. They would book an hour and 4 hours later, they would be walking backwards up the driveway, trying to get away. I couldn’t help myself. I wanted to give them everything I could. I did their Astrology and Numerology charts. I gave them a jewellery reading as well as a Tarot reading. I thought I was providing so much value. I didn’t realise that I was actually out...
Are You Right or Righteous? (WT417)
Wow, what a difference a week and a few days can make. Last week I was on a high, celebrating 8 years of thoughts. This week was low as I succumbed to being a victim and was planning on a thought to remind us all to be our word; to apologise when we make mistakes and to consider other people. And yesterday that thought changed from being right to righteous as I checked my diary and to my horror realised I had done the exact same thing I was moaning about from others. I completely missed an appointment. Not just any appointment. It was a Weekly Thoughts coaching...
The Universe Likes Speed (WT416)
Woo Hoo! 8 Years! Today we celebrate 8 years of Weekly Thoughts. OMG! No-one is more surprised than me to reach this milestone. And even more impressive for me is that I haven’t missed one week in all that time. Wow, that’s commitment for you. And these thoughts are for you. I actually enjoy writing them and sharing what I learn along the way. This week is no exception. Of course there is a message or three. Dr Joe Vitale said, “The universe likes speed.” He was referring to a training program he created shortly after being featured in “The Secret”. Whilst he was out the back...
Perfectionism or Procrastination (WT415)
I’ve mentioned many times before that there seems to be a theme emerge for the Weekly Thought. This week’s theme is perfectionism or procrastination. On three separate occasions the past few weeks, I was reminded of the difference and how perfectionism can stop us in our tracks. Scene 1: A coaching client gave me all sorts of excuses as to why he needed to get his website organised and his advertising schedule done before he could promote a workshop. “How many people do you need to run the workshop?” I asked. “About 10”, he...
Would You Walk Past It? (WT414)
Today’s thought might seem a bit bland at first read. Hang in there, there’s an important message from this story. Following the garbage collection this week, our neighbour’s bin was left in front of his yard. The lid was open. Generally, he takes it inside as soon as it’s emptied. I was curious and as we are prone to make up answers to our questions, I decided he had washed the bin and was leaving it to dry in the sun. The next day the bin was still outside with the lid open. The third day the bin had been put away, however there was a pile of rubbish left...
When You Need Reassurance (WT413)
It was 2 hours after the flight was scheduled to depart. I was flying from Fort Lauderdale to Freeport in Grand Bahama. Firstly. we started to board then got called back to the departure lounge as new flight crew were called in. We departed only to have to turn around because of a medical emergency for one of the passengers. Without knowing what was happening, I sat in my seat sending love and light; pink for love and white light to keep the passenger safe and blue and green for healing. I sent it to the sick passenger and the flight attendant - a young girl in her mid...
My Money Supports the Web of Life (WT412)
Tomorrow I am heading to the Grand Bahama – one of 700 islands in the Bahamas. “Cool. Sweet. Awesome”, you might say. And yes it is all those things and more and I’m only going because I was fortunate enough to win a magical consultation with 2 world class marketing consultants. How did I do that? Simple – I played the game. I submitted a video. I did my homework and I put my hand up and showed up. And what has this got to do with this week’s thought on money? Before the competition, a trip to the Bahamas had not been added to my budget, so whilst I...
Live By Your Values (WT411)
You’ve most likely heard the term “Vision and Values” in reference to business. For years this term remained a mystery to me. I just didn’t get it. I couldn’t see what the big deal was about having a list of words on a wall that we could point to and say, “These are our values”. That was until I read or heard, (I can’t remember the source) of the question, “Would you rather read it on the walls or see it in the halls?” Seeing it in the halls means we behave in line with what we say is important to us, i.e. our values – what we value. This week I was having a...
When You’re Feeling Down (WT410)
I don’t know about you; for the past few months many of my clients and friends have been experiencing many obstacles, set-backs and challenges and as a result have been feeling very low, depressed, frustrated and/or angry. I include myself in this list so this week I thought I would talk about it because it’s normal to feel like this from time to time. At times we can feel like there is no hope; no way out; no way through or no solution. At times like this it can be tempting to want to end our pain. I know first-hand how this feels and I’ve had it confirmed lately from...
Stop Distracting Yourself (WT409)
Speaking with a colleague this week, I was impressed with her clarity about what she is going to focus on for the remainder of the year. “Two things, Shirley,” she said. “I’m focussing on just two things,” and then proceeded to outline what those two things are. In order to focus on the two things, she realised she needed to give up a number of other things that had been what she called “distractions”. Listening to her, I could totally relate to what she was saying. As I thought about what she shared, I thought about all the things that I had been doing lately that were not “moving the...
