Make your Mark... Be Known for your Greatness!

SHERO on Responsibility: 


always, Always, ALWAYS do your best not matter what. I have heard so many times in business situations comments like 'he doesn't care why should I?' or 'she always comes late why should I come on time?'... the reality is that if there is only one you, if you consider yourself to be YOU Inc. then you better think, walk, talk, write and behave up to your high standards and not to others low standards for themselves. Trust me when I say that you are rewarded in many ways for upholding and improving upon your own high standards. You are rewarded by the way in which your entire physiology reacts to you maintaining high standards. You are rewarded because others do notice your behaviour and it WILL open doors for you. You are rewarded because your self-confidence and belief in yourself attracts great people in your life. The list is endless... Always remember.. if it has your name on it, if you had something to do with it's production, creation, distribution, organization and everything from A - Z take full responsibility for it and make it the best it can possibly be. Make your Mark and be known for your greatness not weakness.

Life.. It's in you to Live!

SHERO on Enlightenment:

You have heard it many many many times... it's the journey not the destination.. and yet we forget as we fill our days with 80% non pertinent activity and 20% constructive action.  It's almost as if we are a mortgage... we keep paying the interest and never pay off the principal.  We spend our day spinning out of control focussing on things that will not give us any satisfaction.  We procrastinate and shy away from challenges and projects that will give us incredible results.  Remember everyday work toward your goals.. enjoy the entire process don't just wait for the result.. part of the result is the process.  Love your life, it's the only one you have.  No matter what you believe in.. i.e. reincarnation, going to heaven, going forever etc.. the reality is that you will be you in this shape, size, format, etc this one lifetime..  maximize it, forget limits... get out there and conquer your fears and laugh at your self-imposed limitations.... have fun as you go and grow!

The pistons that fire my engine... S5!

SHERO on Opportunity: 

Do you have any idea how close you are to getting what you want? Don't give up. Most of us get locked into fear and quit only to find out later that what we were seeking was just around the corner. Go for it... if you are down pick yourself up quickly... it's ok if you have stopped to take a breath but keep the momentum going... even a beautiful sports car needs a pit stop... aren't you worth more than anything material??? Rev your engine, fire those pistons and put the rubber on the road... GO GO GO! Do you know why I love the Ford GT below with the number 5??? Because it symbolizes the 5 strategies that make the acronym SHERO - Spirituality, Humanity, Enlightenment, Responsibility & Opportunity.. It's the S5!

You must begin today what you plan to accomplish TOMORROW!

SHERO on Responsibility: 

When setting a goal for yourself make sure that it is specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timely.. also know as.. SMART. What happens to many of us is that we set giant goals and want them accomplished in two days. And when it doesn't happen we get overwhelmed and quit. Or we get disappointed with ourselves and quit. Once you set a goal make sure you start taking small action steps towards attaining that goal. A group of small steps will make you feel empowered and engaged. Amazingly these small steps will give you further confidence to continue on your path and before you know it you will have reached your goal. The day and time are going to go by anyway so why not do what you have intended to do. Whether it's a diet, cleaning your office, writing a book, going through financial paperwork or taking over a new company and the list goes on and on.... everything can be done with small actions everyday... look at nature as an example.. you can rush a plant to grow.. it takes time for all the processes to take place until the end result... in order to get to the end result you must begin.

It is time to take FLIGHT!

SHERO on Enlightenment: 

Be very careful that what you think, say and do are in alignment. Be sure that if you want to see a sunset you walk west not east. Be sure that if your intent is to lose weight you learn about nutrition no just focus on fat free products filled with calories. Be sure that if your intent is to do good for humanity you do so every day by your kindness to your family, friends and even strangers not just to those who share the same cultural or religious background on specific days. Be great every day, not just when it suits you and fits into your schedule....You can be great at home, at work, during travel, anywhere and everywhere... 24/7... Step out of tribal hypnosis and embrace a global catharsis from limiting beliefs to empowered interdependent engaged Life.. LIFE; It's in you to live! The Butterfly is flapping it's wings... the change is not coming.. IT IS HERE!

It Begins with YOU!

SHERO on Spirituality: 

Whether your belief ends in -ian, -im, -ology, -ism, etc know this.. no matter what you choose own it and be it... not passively but actively...do not just pick and choose bits and pieces as it suits you and excludes others in turn. Be extremely aware that anything you believe in that represents constructive and interdependent thinking with service to ALL humanity becomes null and void the minute you raise your hand against another based on your own ego, insecurities, lacking, manipulation and fear. We ALL have the capacity to love and co-exist. We also have the capacity to hate and destroy. YOU decide which direction you choose to take humanity starting from your own thoughts and actions. This will in turn have a rippling effect towards your family, your community until ultimately it reaches all of humanity. It begins with YOU!... Choose LOVE!

What is your intent for YOUR Life???

SHERO on Opportunity: 

What may initially look like a great loss may be the catalyst for helping you produce the major achievement in your life. Do not wallow in self-pity, self-doubt, self-loathing etc.. look at the world around you and think of all those people out there that may not be as fortunate as you are. What wouldn't they give to have an opportunity to solve their problems the way that you do. The river of life is always flowing.. you don't have to sink.. not only can you swim but you can do so in any direction you choose... even when Salmon swim upstream they do so with clear intent... What is your intent for you life?

No Matter How Bad it May Get!

SHERO on Responsibility: 

You will always come up against opposition, people who do not believe in you or your ideas, setbacks of many different kinds.. however.. the only way to get through them is to ensure that your belief in yourself, your dreams and your goals far outweigh other peoples opinion. How bad do you want what you want? What would it mean to you if you had it? Who would you become as a result? What are the values that you have associated with all the above? Keep going and growing... be constructive, interdependent and surround yourself with like minded people to give you that extra boost... you have nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Happiness Does not Follow Success??? What madness is this???


SHERO on Enlightenment: 

Copernicus discovered that the sun does not follow the earth and rather that the earth follows the sun. This became the Copernicus Revolution where we shifted our way of thinking about the universe. It is now time to shift our thoughts about what is meant by Success and Happiness. Until now we have believed that we will not be happy until we are successful... (whether that is monetary success, achieving a set goal, etc)... Neuroscience research and the Positive Psychologists state that the ONLY way to achieve Success is to be happy first. Human Flourishing and Happiness does not follow success rather success follows happiness... time to shift our way of thinking... and make it quick please!

Don't limit yourself... Get out of YOUR OWN WAY!

SHERO on Opportunity: 

There's knowing and then there is GOING, DOING, BEING & LIVING... Recently I was surrounded by rooms filled with people with incredible achievements in the field of Psychology - Positive Psychology to be exact - as well as neuroscience. I was humbled and honoured that they gave me an audience to speak SHERO by way of a poster presentation even though I do not share their similar background. The point is this.. do not let your insecurities and mental constipation limit you from going down the road less traveled or venturing from the safety of the harbour. Put away limiting beliefs and engage yourself with others around you. Don't assume they are better and you are less. Don't assume that you are better and they are less. Collaboration will always get you further than trying to be the 'lone wolf' all the time. When jealousy, envy, ego, insecurities etc are put away in their place comes flourishing, growth, co-operation, creation, compassion and interdependence that take you toward win win situations.. most of which you couldn't even imagine before...

To be Happy or not to be Happy.. That is the question and that is YOUR choice!


SHERO On Enlightenment: 

Beliefs have incredible power.... they can propel you to greatness, affirm all that is good in life, help you attract all that is love and make you be in love but... they can also deny you from all of the above.... and the simplicity of it all is that you can choose this for yourself... it begins with a simple choice... really.. it's that simple
