I See YOU!

I love what these words mean to me!  Woman's eyeYes, I know this brings to mind the movie Avatar.  That movie does a wonderful job of bringing this concept to our attention.  Yet, it is not a new concept, not by any means.  The concept of sharing your true self has been around as long as people have been on earth.  I’ve been pondering this idea because it has been showing up for me in numerous forms this past week.

Everyone Has A Dream

Continuing our conversations on the power of creating your life, clouds Everyone Has A DreamI wanted to touch on the subject of finding and following your Dream.  I believe each of us was born with a Dream, a purpose we were meant to fulfill in our lifetime.  This purpose not only brings deep satisfaction, but it also serves the world.


When you discover your Dream, it sets your heart on fire!  You feel a burning desire to pursue this Dream.  Any other “job” seems dull and lifeless.  You want to shout it from the rooftops, “I know what my Dream is and I am going to do it!  I feel so alive! What an awesome feeling that is.  You can’t wait to tell everyone you know your plans.  You expect them to be supportive and encourage you to pursue your Dream…….

Who Is In Your Target Circle?


No, I’m not talking about target practice. :) Target Who Is In Your Target Circle?

I mean who is closest to you and what influence do they have on you.  The people who are closest to you should be the most supportive and positive people in your circle of friends and family.


Visualize a target, with expanding circles surrounding the middle, the Bull’s Eye.  You are the Bull’s Eye and the people you know are in different areas of the circles around you.  The closer they are to the middle, the more influence and impact they have on you and your decisions.

Are You on a Rhinoceros Path in Life?

Posted February 20th, 2010 by Val and filed in Personal Growth




rhinoceros

Let me tell you a little story about a rhinoceros in a zoo:


This rhinoceros had a small enclosure where he paced along the same path day after day until he wore a path in the dirt.  The zoo keepers felt sorry for him and expanded the enclosure to give him more space to move around in.  After the addition was built, the zoo keepers headed home for the night.


The next morning they excitedly approached the enclosure, hoping the rhinoceros was enjoying his new boundaries.  Much to their dismay, they saw that the rhinoceros was STILL following his same old path, totally ignoring all the new area he had to explore.



What happened?


The rhinoceros decided to stay in the same area he knew, refused to look at anything new or different.  It was safer to stick with his old ways instead of stepping into unknown territory.  Does that sound familiar?

Stepping Outside the Box – I am Leaning Wayyyy Out Over the Edge!

Posted February 16th, 2010 by Val and filed in Personal Growth

Here I am, pushing against the edges of my comfort zone big time. When I decided to create a blog, my first thoughts were about the quality of content and relevancy. Never did I give a thought about constructing and building the website. Oh boy, was I in for a rude awakening!

It didn’t take long to realize I needed to find a great source that could take me step by step through the process of widgets, tags, plugins, etc. After I found that source, I thought everything was cool. Well…not so fast there.

Keeping up with all the new information that was presented put me into overload. Of course, being a little OCD about things, I wanted everything to be neat and structured, all tied up with a bow. Doesn’t work that way. There isn’t time to sit and take things slow, technology is moving at the speed of light. If you don’t hit the ground running, you’ll be left in the breakdown lane. Needless to say, it was time to push against my limits. I was leaning wayyyy out over the edge!

The Edge
