| "When I first walked into Sabrina’s office, I had very little self confidence, but now, thanks to Sabrina, I can walk into a room and feel comfortable talking to people that I don’t know. I no longer require people to tell me what my strengths are because I already know them. I can now also see in the mirror what I actually look like." - Malcolm, Brisbane |

The Greatest Love?
As I’m sitting down to write this article Whitney Houston is crooning about “The Greatest Love of All” (I want to say its the radio but sadly, I’m playing her Greatest Hits CD... I’m a sucker for a feel good song) and it’s triggered some thoughts for me. Whitney is specifically referring to the love we have for ourselves as the greatest love of all, but what does that mean exactly? We’ve all heard the old adage “you can’t really love others until you love yourself” and yet most of us struggle, in real life terms, with being comfortable saying (out loud) “I love me!” In The Secret Bob Proctor portrays the idea of loving yourself by enthusiastically kissing his own hand! What does it feel like to be THAT sure of who you are? I can tell you right now... it feels fabulous! It’s been a crazy journey to get to where I am today but I can honestly tell you that I love who I am, I’m proud of the woman I’ve become and I’ve earned this feeling. It came through blood sweat and MANY tears. But it is SO worth it. I wouldn’t change one single part of that journey. I am truly alive everyday of my life. Katrina and I attended a Leadership workshop in 2002 where we took part in an exercise about discovering your ‘personal power’, it was challenging and frightening and it went something like this... One by one we took turns at standing up in front of the entire group and we had to yell as loudly and strongly as possible a phrase starting with ‘I am’. It had to be something relevant for us and we had to stick with that word and keep yelling until such time as the group unanimously clapped us to sit down. If even one of them wasn’t convinced then we had to keep going. How did they measure they’re conviction? Goosebumps. Yep that’s right... goosebumps. When you come from your true place of personal power, you can really feel it and, so can those around you. Why do I tell you this story? To invite you to step up to your own personal power. Too often I see people living luke warm lives and believing that’s all there is to it. They stop expecting things to be different because they don’t know HOW to change them. We don’t always have the answers, we don’t always know the ‘how’ (honestly, we RARELY know the answers), but that’s the joy of life! Go out there and find the answers. Don’t do your best – DO WHATEVER IT TAKES. Being happy is worth it. |

Book Review
Way Of The Peaceful Warrior – Dan Millman
Recently made into a movie, this is the story of Dan Millman – an up and coming gymnast in the 1960s. Dan meets an old gas station attendant he affectionately names Socrates and the journey begins. This book is partly biographical and partly philosophical but it is 100% truth. Socrates challenges Dan in ways he never knew he could be challenged. It is the story of the death of a man’s ego and the birth of his heart. It is a message we can all afford to hear, there is no-one exempt from taking this journey at some stage in their lives. I re-read this book every year as a reminder to myself of what is important. It’s effect was compounded when I followed it up with the sequel – “Sacred Journey Of The Peaceful Warrior”. Recently Dan Millman also released “The Journeys of Socrates”, thereby completing the circle and bringing us back to where it all began. Please read this book. Read it as a reminder of what it feels like to be alive or you just use it as a swift spiritual kick up the rear end! This book will change you. |
