What do you want?

October 19, 2010 – 10:03 pm

When you’re thinking about your life and looking forward, do you know what you really want? 

Knowing what you want is the important thing.  Not to worry about the ‘how’… but to keep focused on the outcome, what you want to happen and not get bogged down in the nitty gritty of how it will become your reality.

It’s good for you to have some clarity about what you really want.  Most of us know what we don’t want and struggle to know what we do want.  As you’re reading this, I know you are wanting to gain higher self esteem and confidence.  Imagine how different your home life, family life, career, finances etc will be once you have built these up - these are your reasons for building your self esteem in the first place.  If you are unclear about what you want and maybe there are some grey areas in your thinking.  You’re not alone, so many clients struggle with this and they book me for a coaching session or more.  If you’d like to devote some special time to exploring and discovering just what you do want, email me at ali@daringdamsels.com this is your life, you deserve it to be a fulfilling and happy one!

So, whatever you want or dream of, get into the habit of asking yourself – or even praying to a higher power for an answer every night before you fall asleep.  Ask for the way to be shown to you.  You may well wake up with more ideas – write them down and keep pen and paper by your bed ready. 

What I’ve started doing more recently is keeping a diary just to record the bursts of inspiration.  So often we do not do anything with this information or ideas which come from our higher self/Universe and yet they are the very gifts which will guide us on our path.  Today I looked at my diary again and had already forgotten to take action on some points – so I was so grateful for having recorded them.  That’s what we all do, we get the messages, think wow and then we forget them, so I urge you to keep a record of them and begin taking action.

The way to achieve your dreams may not seem probable or realistic at first glance, it does not mean that it is impossible, just open your mind… and be aware that sometimes the way will be shown in a less likely way than the obvious. 

Quote of the day

 ”Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.” Mary Kay Ash

 Wishing you all you wish for yourself

Pick yourself up and try again!

December 2, 2009 – 10:35 pm

Have you noticed how printers have a knack of waiting until you have an important document to print in a hurry before they tell you they are out of ink?  What a cruel trick ;) – and a cue for me to be become more organised and have a spare to hand.  This morning I was in a rush to print some flyers for my January Daring Damsels Self Esteem Booster Workshop.  I wanted to attend Cappuccino Connections in Aylesbury and take the flyers with me.

After running off 10 copies which I realised were of  poor quality I knew I’d have to make a quick trip to get some new ink.   I went out to the car to and noticed a tyre was looking somewhat deflated… mmmm… great – not.  The event was starting at 10.00am (a drop-in event) and it was now just after 10am.  I drove to find some ink and looked at the tyre again… Ooops… it was really looking flat… I trundled a few hundred yards to the garage and put some air in the tyre.   After getting home, printing my flyers I was ready to head to Aylesbury.  A quick glance at the tyre told me the air was escaping; a calculated guess told me I was pushing my luck but I was determined to get to the event.  I thought I’d call the road recovery people when I got to the venue to ask them to rescue this damsel and put on the spare tyre.  I held my breath as I drove… but as I got to within 2 miles of the venue I knew it was time to pull over and make the call.  Maybe it was the smoke coming from the tyre that was the giveaway? ;)   Ooops… I know I’m so naughty!

Having had breakdown cover for 20 years – this was the first time I’ve ever used it.  It was a good experience.  The lovely Knight of the road arrived within 40 mins and popped the spare on.  After thanking him I looked at the time… it was midday.  Exactly the time the networking event finished.   Mmmm…. so what to do?  Return home with my flyer or go anyway.  Of course, I whizzed down the road and arrived within 5 minutes.  The leader of the networking welcomed me warmly and with a twinkle in her eye reminded me they begin at 10am and finish at midday – not begin then!  Ha ha very funny!  There were about 8 ladies still remaining – and out of the corner of my eye I spotted a few plates groaning with chocolate cookies!

Now the most amazing thing happened.  I was introduced to a lady who was getting ready to leave.  She is a trainers trainer – exactly what I need right now; someone who can help me to prepare myself for the January workshop.  How wonderful!  I need all the tips and training I can get in order to deliver the best possible experience to my attendees.  I feel very grateful.  We have agreed a training session.  So the lesson for me was – if you keep getting knocked down, keep getting up – and keep positive.  Focus on what you want – not on what you don’t want.  The Universe may test your perseverance by throwing up some obstacles and it will also reward you if you remain on target.  If you’ve not watched/read The Secret – do get yourself a copy.

So, what would you have done in my shoes?  Maybe you wouldn’t have risked the tyre in the first place?  What are you focusing on?  Are you on target?  What support could benefit you?  Who could help?  If you would like a copy of my Daring Damsels Self Esteem Booster Workshop flyer – do message me.
