Merry Monday

Merry Monday TeamStars,

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're Doing Something.

So that's my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes. Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody's ever made before. Don't freeze, don't stop, don't worry that it isn't good enough, or it isn't perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

Whatever it is you're scared of doing, Do it.” Neil Gaiman

My belief is that this will be a truly special year. May you have a prosperous 2013!

Kind regards

High Heelers: Stand up in giving

Hello High Heelers,

I had to pinch myself today when I realised that I’ve done absolutely no Christmas shopping and it’s the second week of December. Now I’m going to get stuck in the crowds fighting over random holiday gifts for my beloved family and friends, that they don’t really need, and don’t necessarily want... http://highheelers.blogspot.com/

Have a wonderful week.

Cheers,
Joanne Sharpe

High Heelers: Opportunity and calamity

Hello High Heelers,

Where you spend your time, you will gain value (or lack thereof). Just like where you spend your money. If you splash out on an old car that’s falling apart, you run the risk of getting stranded – invest in a bad relationship and the same thing is likely to happen. Check out this week's post!

Have a wonderful week.

Cheers,

Merry Monday!

Merry Monday TeamStars,

“Work is love made visible” - Kahlil Gibran

This past weekend I discovered a video on YouTube called “People are Awesome”  

This clip is packed with action and crazy stunts, but it made me realise that we do have the power, the knowledge and strength to make even the farfetched dreams a reality. I shared my notes with you below.
 

·         10 000 Hours – We need to complete our 10 000 hours to become exceptional and to stand out from the ordinary

·         Passion – We need to have a passion and love for what we do.

·         Excellence comes from dissonance

·         A hint of crazy – Sometimes we need to be a little crazy to achieve our extraordinary visions

·         Commitment – We need to commit fully to what we cherish!

So I hope that in this week you can rediscover how AWESOME you ARE!

Enjoy!

Merry Monday TeamStars,

"Humor is one of the most serious tools we have for dealing with impossible situations."  Erica Jong

As this year is reaching its end we are all becoming more tired and wearied. The smallest things can become enough to trigger a response. How do we manage this?

I recently discovered the Visuals learning called “A kick in the attitude” (link below). Sam Glenn speaks about the elements around us and how we can ultimately change our attitude that will have a direct correlation on our response.

“We cannot control what goes on around us, but we can control our perceptions, responses and actions, which ultimately form our attitude.” Sam Glenn

The Key take outs for managing our attitude is:

·         Lighten Up

·         Keep your perspective

·         Reject negativity

Challenge for the week: Let us be positive and change our attitude, and be cognisant of our responses towards one another.

High Heelers: Superheelers

Hello High Heelers,

I know real life superheroes. Really, I do! Yesterday driving home from a braai my bestie said to her hubby, very casually, “Do a U-turn now and go back quickly.” To my absolute amazement her hubby took action and immediately swung the car into oncoming traffic and sneakily managed to get onto the other side of the road without killing us. But that’s not the superhero part... http://highheelers.blogspot.com/

Have a wonderful week.
