Perseverance it's up to you!


SHERO on Responsibility: You and only you are responsible from getting yourself from point A to point B. You need to find the tools that will help you propel yourself forward. You need to surround yourself with constructive, positive and motivated people who are willing to help you as you help them. All this begins with a choice that YOU must make. Perseverance and adaptation are keys to success... if this tree can do it why can't YOU!

When a child is hurt...


SHERO on Humanity: Would you shoot yourself in the foot? Of course not! But every moment of every day when a bomb is dropped on a child, when a child is left hungry, when a child does not receive a proper education etc etc... you are shortchanging the immediate future of your respective city, municipality, province, state, country, continent and all humanity. That is shooting yourself in the foot! Responsibility is not just on the leaders we see on tv with great speeches.. responsibility lies in all of us every minute of everyday to make constructive changes...When a child is hurt so is our immediate future.. that's lose lose... Time to turn it around....NOW!  Do something amazing today!

We can learn to love again!


SHERO on Humanity: A smile is universal... we are born inquisitive, loving and wanting to be loved.. what we learn along the way is a different story. Be present in your life. Be conscious of the choices you make and the beliefs you own... it will make the difference between living a life sitting on the bench compared to living with intention, clarity and direction.  If we have learned to hate as we have walked down our paths.. surely we can learn to love again!

Love yourself, love thy neighbour.


SHERO on Enlightenment: In order to appreciate the beauty of the world around you, YOU must learn to appreciate, respect and love yourself. Not only on the outside but more so on the inside. Be beautiful, not just for the way you look but for the way you look at the world!

CHOICES

SHERO on Responsibility: Underneath the different colours and shades of our skins we all have a heart that functions to keep us alive. Our heart has the capacity for love and hate, peace and war. The value that will takeover is the one that we focus on, feed and expand in our thoughts. One value will bring us together the other will pull us apart... which will you choose? 

Our heart functions better when it loves? Wouldn't you agree?

Is FEAR Nature or Nurture?

SHERO on Enlightenment:  Like everything else in life it is useless if not used.. even if you are born with love, it is useless if it is kept within... it needs to be shared for it to grow into something bigger than anyone can imagine.  Why is it that we sometimes automatically tap into fear as opposed to love?  Is fear part of our DNA or is it part of our training?

To Done List!

SHERO on Opportunity: New opportunities come when old ones are dealt with.. get rid of clutter, finish stuff that you have already started, organize your work and creative space, have all that you need for creativity around you and handy... not only will this attract new opportunities it will get rid of stress... stress happens when we haven't completed our to do list....turn the to do list into a done list!

Have you reached someone's heart today?


SHERO on Opportunity: You are as many people as languages you speak. Every time you speak with someone in their native language (different than your own) not only are you challenging your brain for stimulus and growth but you are also touching someones heart. I believe they call that win win!

Re-Act.. in a POSITIVE manner!

SHERO on Responsibility: People may write against all religions, people may make fun of you or your thoughts, people will make movies that are against your views but... only you choose how to react to it. Just because somebody portrays something in a negative way it does not make it so. Please put down weapons and turn your passion into something constructive.... when a person makes a movie or writes a book or makes a speech...that person does not represent all humanity, all members of their country, all members of a particular religious group etc. There are people who make their living by causing trouble across all borders and couldn't care less about religion or positive beliefs. All they care about is manipulating people by playing the 'us vs them' game. Don't become part of the game. This behaviour is not limited to just the Middle East, North America, Asia etc... it's a type of personality of particular human beings in all corners of the world.
Violence needs to stop. Anytime we hurt another human being we are hurting ourselves....There are incredibly intelligent human beings out there who realize that we can co-exist in a peaceful interdependent way and won't let anybody manipulate them away from this constructive path... make sure you are one of them.

Us vs Who?

SHERO on HUMANITY: Break free from what you are told about 'us vs them'. Break free from preconceived notions of others race, religion, customs, beliefs etc. Learn to think constructively... you are free to choose, you are free to express yourself but you are not free from the consequences of your choice... choose wisely... choose for the benefit of humanity...

Art binds us...

SHERO on Spirituality: Sitting at the Louvre in Paris, France I reflected back to our need to express ourselves through art. Within the walls of this museum is art that is dedicated to show human triumph and tragedy, joy and pain... not just European Art yet art from all corners of the world from ancient times to present. We all want to express ourselves, we all want to dance, to sing, to create, to play.... it's really not that complicated... we are spirits wanting to love and be loved.

I choose to......

SHERO on Responsibility: Criticism, rejection, feeling angry.. is a choice you make... it is not something that someone makes you feel. The ACT of feeling is in your hands... remember people who are hurting inside are the ones who hurt people... don't become part of their pool... swim in another constructive one.
