Success and Harmony - September 2007 Newsletter

Hurray for us! Dear List member,

Today's focus is on success - not just long-term successes like growing a business or being a good parent, but success of all kinds!

So are you always aware of your achievements? Do you share them? And do you look for new ways to generate success?

If you do, these things will colour your whole attitude to life. You'll be, and become, more positive - and that, in turn, will make you more successful...

Awareness

Every achievement, however big or small is important, and we should remind ourselves of this more often. Remember that the simple things in life are often the best; some wonderful successes don't cost a penny.

So, what was your most successful achievement in the last three years? Be aware of it - it's worth remembering.

Sharing

I put that question in a Self-Success workshop - and nobody answered! It took a while, but I managed to prise out each person's success story.

And what a difference it made! The room was full of cheering, congratulations and smiles. Because everyone enjoyed sharing everyone else's success!

Generating success

Start a habit of being successful! There are many ways to do it, but here are three to get you started...

Do something spontaneous! Give someone a surprise and you'll both enjoy it!
Do something you've wanted to do for ages - whatever it is! Go Salsa dancing. Read that book. Visit the countries you've just been dreaming about. 'Me time' reduces stress - so you can achieve much, much more.
Make a five-year wish list of things you've always wanted to do. (Ride in a helicopter, learn French, do a bungee jump!) Put the list where you can see it. Then tick things off as you do them. In five years' time you'll be amazed how you feel!

Self-successful thinking

"The person born with a talent they are meant to use will find their greatest happiness in using it" - Goethe

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought" - Buddha

"We make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give" - Winston Churchill

About Sheila

If you've been to one of Sheila's workshops - or heard her speak - then you'll know she learned her skills the hard way. She's had to face, and overcome, the toughest challenges most of us can imagine: cancer, family estrangement, and much more.

By turning her own life around she's found a way to inspire others - and her clients have included publishers, librarians, NHS matrons and mentors for The Prince's Trust. Sheila is an Associate Member of the Professional Speakers Association. She's appeared on radio and TV, and has written a successful book.

Sheila educates and entertains. Her positive message is remembered long after the event is over. And she loves to give her audience the tools they need to rise to their own challenges.

She's a warm and approachable person with a successful business background. And that really is a winning combination!
