The Importance of Direction
?
??? Quote of the Week:
?
"If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading." ?
Lao Tzu

?? Client Wins

“I was looking for progression with the company I work for and didn’t get picked for a recent promotion. We’ve worked together for 3 weeks, I got clear on my goal and a recruiter has just reached out to me with a more senior director role.”

?? Top Tip of the Week
?
Having clear direction for your life is super important! It gives you purpose, focus, inspiration and motivation.
?
As human beings, we are part of nature. Nature is always growing. Even in the fall/autumn when it’s shedding and in winter when it’s resting, it is preparing for growth.?? ?
The universe is always expanding.??
So… being part of nature, for us to feel good, we have to be growing & developing. ?
That’s why setting an exciting goal is key. ?
A goal gives direction and creates order in your mind. ?
Direction ?? ?if you don’t now where you’re going, you’d be quite lost. You might feel unfulfilled & stuck in the same place, without progress. ?
Knowing where you’re headed (and deliberately choosing where you’re heading), keeps you from drifting and helps you align your actions with your goals. ?
You’ll stop wasting time. When you know where you’re going and, thus, know what needs to be done, you’re less likely to waste your time and energy. ?
Creating direction through setting a goal to achieve something you really want?will cause you to stay determined, push through and keep going. It will naturally help you to cultivate resilience, persistence and consistency.???
Plus, it?creates clarity for you and everyone around you when you know where you’re going and what you need to do to get there. ?
Direction creates order in your mind, and we all know?when our mind is in order that it’s way easier to make decisions, we feel better and more focused and things just seem to ‘flow.’ ?
Do you feel like you have a clear direction in life, or are you trying to find one?

?? What we've been up to...

I joined a training course on LinkedIn / Social Media and picked up some great tips. Now just need to implement them ?? ?

My friend from Holland came to stay for a few days. We’ve known each other since we were 2 years old (that’s a lot of years!!). ?
Sometimes we don’t see each other for over a year.
Sometimes we don’t speak for a few months.
But… it always feels like it was yesterday we last chatted! ?
Super special, and super grateful for my friend.?? ??

A topic that’s been popping up with different people over the last couple of weeks is 'responsibility.' I thought you might like this little snippet from one of the modules from the Time & Activity Management course.???

?? Your quest for the next two weeks (& beyond)...
?
Give yourself some time to think about what you truly want from your life.??
Imagine you’re 3 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3, 5 years down the line. What would you want your life to look like? ?
Set yourself an exciting goal, one that scares you at the same time. Don’t worry about HOW you’re going to do it. You won’t know that, yet… ?
The fact that the idea comes up for you, means you have everything you need locked up inside of you to achieve it.?? ?
Then, start imaging it and all of a sudden, you’ll find that ideas start to pop up about how you could move into the direction of it. ?
Then, TAKE ACTION!???
