2010 - Destined Change the World Beginning with Yourself Links Website Life & Business Coaching Young Adult Coaching Past Newsletters Press Purchase a Copy Dear Friend, Welcome to 2010! I know this year is going to be a tremendous year for you. What I also know is that it is going to require some work on your part to stay disciplined, say yes to caring for you and passing on the blessing. My goal this year is twofold: Support you in changing yourself so that you can change the world around you. Help you answer the question, "Just who am I destined to be?" As your coach I want to encourage you to dream wildly, love wholeheartedly, persevere relentlessly, believe in yourself unwaveringly and give abundantly! If you are new this week...welcome...let's begin the journey together! God Bless, Margaret. This Week's Topic: Change the World Beginning with Yourself Dear Friend, "If you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment Would you capture it or just let it slip?" ~Eminem Change begins one person at a time. During the holiday week my husband and I saw The Blind Side base on the true story of Leigh Anne and Sean Tuohy and Michael Oher. The story first written by brilliant author Michael Lewis illustrates the impact we can have on one person. What is the phrase, "Love isn't love until you give it away?" That is true. (Read Lewis' story in the New York Times.) Beginning with yourself, you can change the world one person at a time - and see the difference you can make in the lives of others. This year I want to help you change yourself so that you can change the world around you. Let's begin this process by focusing on you. Change Yourself... What one change would you like to see yourself make? And what is it going to take to get there? Use your imagination...the sky is the limit...dream a little. Select one change large or small...that would greatly, enhance the quality of your life. Then plan a lot...seriously consider...what is it really going to take - each day, each week, each month, each quarter - to get there? What is one goal that might seem unattainable now, but with hard work you believe you can achieve it? This is designed to be a reach goal...not about changing you, but about doing something new, learning a new skill...a goal that inspires you. Consider the following areas of your life: Love & Relationships, Health, Physical Environment, Work, Financial, Spiritual ...So that you can Change the World... What is one thing, outside of yourself, you want to focus on this year? Select something outside of yourself to focus on. It can be your family, friends, another family, hunger, literacy, peace, animals. Select something specific so that you can see your impact throughout 2010. Next, select a theme, a phrase, a song or even picture that inspires you and keeps you invigorated towards this focus. For example, if you want this year to be about your family and bringing your family together...you may select the theme song, "We Are Family" by Sister Sledge What impact would you like to make on those around you - family, friends and community? This goal has an intended result. Select one way you can make an impact. You may think...what can I really impact? The truth is you have tremendous power to impact anything you set your heart, mind and actions towards. For example, If you want to encourage those around you to live a healthier lifestyle you may decide to organize a group of people to do a series of charity run/walks across your community. Another example, if you want to stay fit and focus on animals in 2010 perhaps you become a Pet Pal at the Humane Society. Select something that you want to impact, and go for it! Make it Happen Change begins one person at a time. Change begins with a dream, an idea, a hunch. Change begins with you - on you, for you - so that you can take your work outside of you to the world around you. May you be blessed for you are a blessing!
