Everything is a Problem

Image
Have you ever said or thought  "Everything is a Problem" . I think that there is always a solution for every problem.  Sometimes it only takes rethinking the situation to realize it is not a problem.   Work is not what you thought it would be; you can feel stuck, as though in a rut with no where to go but out.   Maybe you realize your career is based on someone else's dream.  Maybe you are not where you want to be financially. Or, maybe you finally understand that you don't have what it takes for this career choice, but you can have IT for what you really want to do!   This does sound like everything is a problem. Well let's add being a member of a dysfunctional family; then there are issues of friends - the ones who you think fail you;  the folks who you get very angry with and only you can understand your anger;  then of course there is that messy word called "forgiveness" - it's the thing you don't want t...

Life Can Hurt

Image
You expect when you do wrong that there are hurtful consequences. But life can hurt when you do all the right things as well. So what do you do when the hurt is as a result of the right that you've done? Well I tried reciting all those good phrases And it did not help I prayed but the hurt was still there So what do you really do? I went into myself (my spirit), I evaluated my hurt (What was causing this? How can I stop this?) I realized my hurt was being fueled by a thought? I understood that I can only remove this thought with another. I got my victory! It did not take a few hours, days or even months As I continued using the principle of intentionally controlling my thoughts The hurts took less time to get over.

Who are you?

Image
If asked to give five (5) words about myself I would say: Caring, Loving, Giving, Helpful and Humble. But then, if you are unable to see me caring and loving myself; or giving and being helpful to myself and not forgetting being humble then I need to take a good look at perception vs truth. How we see ourselves can be very different to the way others see us.  My actions can sometimes make my option of myself appear to be a lie.  While it is easy and almost second nature to care for others, love and give assistance, help and exhibit some form of humility, these actions on many occasions are not reflected to myself. For 2018 I would like to be a real version of who I think I am.  It is ok to look within and find the faults that we sometimes wish to hide.  It is even better when we have the opportunity of life to make desired changes to ourselves which will make those around us feel happy by our personal fulfillment and success.  I have been described as an ...

The Joy In Goal Setting

Image
Have you set any goals for 2018? I have recorded a whole set of goals for myself.  Goals are achievable when plans are put in place. Do you know what actions are require for your goals to be realized?   Plans require predetermined actions.  Our actions will result in moving goals into our own reality. Who are you accountable to if your goals are not realized?  Who will be celebrating your victories when you win?  Actions are mostly done when accountability is put in place. Moving from a thought to a clear purpose takes a lot of work which we are sometimes not ready for.  When setting goals its important to be realistic and understanding of your own capabilities and desire for accomplishment.  Acceptance of the goals has everything to do with the journey. My journey in the birthing of my company "Training Anchor" was more enjoyable than obtaining the realization of the goal "Training Anchor". Please share your thoughts and comments. I pr...

Is It Possible To Change Someone?

Image
No one has the power to change someone.  The ability for change from a human perspective is within all of us. It is a myth that one person can change the thinking of another based on social and cultural norms. In reality the power of influence can be given credit for changing the position of another. In relationships there is a need for acceptance, love and to be needed. Sometimes this desire for emotional connection can push an individual to accept "God complex behavior".  We are not, nor can we ever be, God to someone!  As sated above the power to change must come from within the individual. I tried to change someone I cared about and it did not work.  My persistent efforts did not work because the individual did not have a desire to change in the way I wanted.  When the individual did not change as I wished, I felt sick within because I did not get my way. That was selfish.   A friend told me "Don't mistake myself for God in anyone...

Leadership - Owning It

Image
I believe leadership is “influence”, nothing more and nothing less.  Everyone possesses leadership abilities which is the limit that decides a person’s level of effectiveness. It is my belief, leadership can be taught, which will result in more people choosing to follow you as an individual. As we enter into a position of authority (leadership), it is important that we realize, people’s lives should be improved by our leadership. Here are some things we can practice to bring our leadership ability to an excellent level: ·         Empowering others – excellent leadership is not about seeking your elevation only but it’s about empowering or uplifting others.  The main reason for not being able to fulfill this; is insecurity or the fear of losing what we already have. ·          Gaining respect – I was taught gaining respect follows a pattern:  when you are respected as a person – people adm...

Personal Growth And Your Career

Image
Personal Growth is just what it says ... it's PERSONAL. I realized that it starts with me the individual.  I had to desire it.  I had to make it intentional.  I had to be persistent about it.  I had to understand that failure is part of the process to growth.  I did not really understand all of this until I actually started my journey!   I laughed when I read Sarah Ban Breathnach's quote, " Always remember that striving and struggle precede success , even in the dictionary ". From my experience, thinking harder or smarter will not help me grow. In fact doing will not help you.  Aging is different from growing.  Performing in a career without active development of any part of your self will not help you grow. In my own life journey, my career grew as I pursued various courses.    Personal development happens as you participate in activities and interact with others. We learn from each other.  Twelve years ...

What God wants from us

Image
My Reflection Today Pray without ceasing. 1 Thessalonians: 5:17 KJV My reality, is there are times when I am so overwhelmed by situations or circumstances, praying is difficult. Sometimes, I can pray through that feeling and at other times, it's hard and I can't.   We are human.  However, this morning I was admonished to pray without ceasing.  The Word of God in the scripture above says that we should pray without ceasing.  In fact, our circumstances should not be allowed to manipulate our feelings. We are bigger and stronger than our emotions.   Thus in gratitude, I will pray without ceasing.  Thank you, I look forward to your thoughts and comments. Stay blessed and stay focused.

A Piece of my Present - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Thinking About The Present I just disrupted my life, I changed jobs. I went from a wave of mixed emotions to feeling fantastic! The enormity of the emotions which came with the changes were - fear, joy,  uncertainty , relief, sadness, release & anticipation.  I went from receiving a salary to pulling all my skills together. What a reality check for me ... keeping it real. Based on what  I’ve learnt from this experience there are two things that I wish to share:   Change is the only constant in life.   Jesus Christ remains the same.

Nugget From My Past - Dr. Chris Mitchell

Image
Hi everyone, I just want to share a story from my past with you.    Straight out of school as a young girl I formed a Sports club.  This club consisted of youths from my community who participated in Netball, Football, Basketball and even Table tennis.  We played at a competitive level, and won many games and trophies.  From an early age I loved and cared for people and believed that 'teamwork makes the dream work!' I guess I was an ' influencer'  from an early age!   Life has a way of playing jokes on us -  imagine, I am in business developing and influencing positive change in others! Today I help people develop themselves overall, in many different areas such as goal setting, building confidence, self-esteem, and life skills. Thank you for listening, I look forward to your thoughts and comments Stay blessed and stay focused Connect with me;  Email :  traininganchor2017@gmail.com  Phone:...
