Acknowledgement is the root of engaging with others and connecting your greatness with their greatness. When we shine a light on another, or on ourselves, we bring their soul to our attention. We often find ourselves becoming estranged from others. We need to take a moment to realize how grateful we are for the people in our life. Whether at work, home or on a special holiday we can acknowledge others, even though we’re very busy!

Of course, let’s not forget our own soul, our own being. When we feel great, we can give more to others.  We have to fill ourselves up with warm throughs. Check here for my post on how to think positively!

Once we believe in ourselves, we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight, or any experience that reveals the human spirit. – e.e. Cummings

Loving your career starts with loving yourself. Positive thinking starts with loving ourselves. It may sound simplistic, but when you have self-love you are also able to create surroundings that you love (including your career). In fact, self-love is the first ingredient for success. So how do we love ourselves all over again? With a nice big helping of positive thinking!

We develop certain thought habits depending on the environment we grew up in.

I come from Irish- Catholic roots. My mom and dad were both raised that way as well. There are 6 of us, five girls and one boy. We were taught to behave, be quiet and to do good- in school and for others. My mom taught me most of those lessons, which is directly related the all the success I have had, internally and externally! (My dad did too, but we are all about Moms this week!) My success is largely attributed to my upbringing.

She taught all of us from her words, but most importantly through her own actions. My mother went to college to be a nurse. She could have been anything she wanted to be but she loves people and wants to comfort and take care,

Conflict and tension are part of self-doubt and self-protection. I heard all the time as an executive, “we tried that already, it will never work.”

“Well, have ‘we’ tried it this way?” I would say back. The push back, the fear, the frustration would come out and more effort and agony for a project that could have been so smooth. How do we do it better? Differently?

Fear is the root of anger, tension,

Do you enjoy wine? Do you enjoy the curvy, leafy growth of the vines? Love driving past acres and acres of grape growth lined up for miles? The symmetry, the beauty of nature revealed on a hillside, along a country road? Wine is a magical beverage, biblical, historical, wondrous in its variety and complexity. I was recently in a new (new to me) wine region of the country, Paso Robles, California. We went to enjoy some time away and see different terrain, have cooler weather and just kick back for a  few days.

Back in action now, are you ready for a Career Shift? A clarity Call?

Running along the vineyards early in the dewy morning I was struck by the early spring growths.
