Who are you? What do you say to describe yourself when asked? The question is... How well do you know yourself... I mean REALLY know yourself? Some of us are more aware of who we are than others. Knowing yourself is a life pursuit. It's not possible to know everything about ourselves. But most of us stay so unconscious and unaware that often one day we wake up and realize we are living lives other people have chosen for us. We go through life confused, from job to job, from relationship to relationship not knowing what we really want.
Knowing who you are is key. It gives you the courage to play full out, to live, speak, be authentic and live a life of meaning - recognizing your gifts - living with passion - having a reason to jump out of bed in the morning - even if you are retired, you know you have something to discover or contribute.
"By nature, as humans we are magnificent (Dr. Joe Rubino- Restore your Magnificence). We have the ability to overcome obstacles, achieve our goals, honor and live our greatest values, attain happiness, and... contribute our gifts to the world. So what happens? Somewhere along the way through life experiences we start judging ourselves and fall into the trap of thinking that the entire world sees as as being as pathetic as we see ourselves. Suffering is always optional but you have a chance to reclaim responsibility for our life and magnificence, transform your life and restore your magnificence."
Mike Robbins (author, speaker, coach ) tells us...."Too often we know who ' we think we are', 'who we want to be', or 'who we should be'. We define ourselves by our actions, habits and roles which is understandable because we live in a results driven world. But the more we see and understand what is below the surface, (our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, imagination) the more access we have to live free, open and authentic lives of meaning, purpose and passion."
My wish is for you to see your beauty, to love yourself, to love others and to love life. When you don't - you blame; fear failure; and, avoid risk. When you value yourself you can,and want to contribute and love this world we live in. There is something unique about you. Something only you can offer in your own unique way. And someone is waiting for it. Come discover your gift so you can give to others. Come because you are bored. Because you like looking at boats. Come out, try on another view. Get re-enchanted with everyday life. Move through that door and see the amazing possibilities you can create in your life and in your world. REGISTER NOW. F R E E !! By calling....604 718 8222
