Build it upon truth and justice


I fully realize that no wealth of position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice; therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealously, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude towards others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself. I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full faith that it will gradually influence my thoughts and actions so that I will become a self-reliant and successful person." - Napoleon Hill, from his best-selling and groundbreaking book Think and Grow Rich.


I'm back from Matura! Had an absolutely amazing and inspirational time over the past few days and here's the thing that stood out for me. Consistency, Dedication, Integrity and Purpose. These 3 people started an organisation out of love, they didn't even know they were starting an organisation, they just started and did something rather than just blabbed and talk and complain and moan. The turtles were being slaughtered, they were being killed for meat, for fun, for a laugh, for ignorance and they decided to do something about it. 20 years later they have an organisation that employs over 100 people in the community, they have multiple sources of income, they have the respect and admiration of the same people that were cussing them at the beginning and it wasn't easy and it still isn't easy but they are committed

How many times in my life have I complained, moaned , stopped what I am doing either because I was afraid, I was ignorant, I wanted to please people? How many times have I decided to not take a stand because it was "hard"? How many times have I spoken and not acted? I learnt over the weekend that slow and steady is the way to go! So confessions, I was a little intimidated doing this workshop, what can I possibly tell these people who have grown a community group into a successful world renowned business with multiple streams of income? that has been recognised all over the world, Japan, USA, China? And I went back to the lesson, show up as me every single time! We shared, we learnt from each other and it was awesome!
Now I start the work! I am so inspired to move forward with my purpose, my life's work
Thank you Matura!
Peace!!

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

Someone is cracking open their joyous nature

Right now, Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche Danielle La Porte, author One doesn’t just wake up one morning and is suddenly enlightened! Sorry it just doesn’t work that way! It is not by magic that your life is changes, it’s by choice! One has to be willing to do the work, it is really just that simple. Doing the work takes responsibility, it takes self love, and compassion, it takes you telling the truth to yourself every single time! Denial and blame becomes things of the past! As soon as you find yourself denying and playing the same blame, you are off track, get off that bus and take another one You got to be willing to do the work and accept some good home truths about yourself and your life and trust me it ain’t pretty or fun at most times. I am telling you in my case, I was deep in denial, in a cave really, a deep dark one! I kept telling myself that...
