Do you have to remember to breathe?

Sometimes, I feel like I’ve lived four different lives already.

First, there was my initial career in the Fitness Industry. Eleven years of growth, ambition and the sweet taste of making a difference in another person’s life.

Then, there was the “Night Club” period.

Nothing has meaning except the meaning we give it

This is one of my favorite Bob Proctor’s quotes. I use it a lot when giving advice to people facing challenges, dealing with difficult people or having a dilemma about a particular decision.

Actually, I used it with my brother last week as we were talking about what to do with those possessions that you’ve had stored for a while that have “sentimental” value and you find it hard to part with them.

I will personally be facing this scenario next month when I head back to Sydney and decide what to do with all the household belongings from Glen’s and my house that we put in storage. Our new investment apartment is already furnished, so we no longer have use for this storage unit full of incredible memories.

I will definitely be digging deep to decide the fate of so many things that have a special meaning to me.

Another Layer of the Onion

I have become comfortable with the truth that personal development is a lifelong process. This is why I’ve made a commitment to myself to attend workshops and events when I can, which expands who I am, stretches me and helps me peel off yet another layer of the proverbial onion.

I mean, every time I have mistakenly thought “I’ve got this, I am soooo spiritually superior right now”, life/God/The Universe has a plethora of ways to put me back in my place.

So, not only do I commit to attending regular events but, each time I do, I truly surrender to the process. And I approach it from a beginner’s mind rather than bulldozing through with the “holier than though, transformational leader who’s got her sh*@t together” persona so I can find out more about myself.

I want to leave the event a better person, leader, teacher and friend.
