Sometimes a step back or away from an idea, task or project brings even more perspective, insight and clarity.

The secret of winning any prize is knowing that your own treasure and potential is equal to it... and worthy of it.

Money and material things may well sustain you physically. But it is only living life from/with love & compassion - and the hearts and lives that you touch - that will truly nourish you emotionally and in spirit.

In leadership, life and all things it__ far wiser to judge people by their deeds than their speech - their track record rather than their talk_ _ Rasheed Ogunlaru

Don't spend your life believing a story about yourself that you didn't write that's been fed to you - that simply you've accepted, embedded and added to. Let the story go and there beneath is the real you...and your unique gifts, heart and path that await you.

There's a difference between disclosing that which is only your business and hiding away from the world and not seeing, shining and sharing your magic.

Is your life story the truth? Yes, the chronological events are true. Is it the whole truth? No, you see and judge it through your conditioned eyes and mind - not of all involved - nor do you see the entire overview. Is it nothing but the truth? No, you select, share, delete, distort, subtract, assume and add what you want, need and choose to.

How you look at it is pretty much how you'll see it

The only way to change someone's mind is to connect with them from the heart.

In life your expectations and disappointments are directly linked. So too is your heartfulness and your contentedness

To truly motivate others 1) discover what their motives, desires & drivers are 2) genuinely connect with and support them from the heart.

I am not sure that you can be taught how to love. In many ways it is innate - just watch and see what small child effortlessly does. But you can be invited to it and reminded of it.

We spend so much time trying to change others _ in part _ because we do not deeply believe in and embrace ourselves as we already are. And so more often than not we do not learn to trust and utilize our gifts and power whole-heartedly enough to pursue and fulfill our own passions, purpose and possibilities.

Open your eyes, mind and heart - and then (only then) you will see

See money _ currency - as the flow of energy and giving that cycles between you, others and me. Now let it flow kindly, fairly and mindfully.

If you make everything solely about money you end up with a very poor society.

Funny how money speaks even more loudly than morals in this beautiful, superficial material world.

It does not need to be perfect - or technically correct - to be magic
