Becoming the Workplace Goddess

The Power of Belief

When we believe with certainty, we figure out ways and means to achieve our goals. We never give up on our ideas or dreams. ~ Anthony Robins The power of belief simply means that whatever we believe in with conviction will become our reality. It is only when we change our belief, which is a repeated thought, can we begin to change our reality. We often hear people say, “When I see it, I’ll believe it,” but, in fact, the opposite is true. People ought to say instead, “When I believe it, I’ll see it.” For it is true that we see only when we believe in it.

Understanding Spirituality as a Need in Life

For as long as humanity has existed, there has been a constant necessity for a higher purpose. Ancient civilizations realized the relatively unknown forces of nature to be “divine” and “powerful,” and so they were revered with constant admiration and fear. Thousands of years ago, spirituality was everything humans had. It was the basis for entire civilizations, entire cultures. And while though they may differ between races, the concept is relatively the same. The concept of a higher power, an ascended level of consciousness, influences everything. Even to the basic of idealisms.

The Magic Word

rnI’ve discovered the magic word. It’s not abracadabra, it’s not a secret. It’s not a mystery wrapped inside a symbol. The long sought magic word - the utterance of which brought immediate reward to the speaker - has been found. By me. I’ll tell you exactly how I found it. Driving to work one morning, one of those idiot motorists clustered around me, lane-hopped near my rear bumper. The idiot then challenged other drivers as he (maybe she, it was dark) then darted b

You are Magic

“Magic (ma-jic): an extraordinary power or influence seemingly from a supernatural source”. The attempt to define magic is difficult at best. It is used more as a word to define, than one that can be defined. The same can be said for who you are. We attempt to define ourselves, yet no adequate words exist to describe the complexity of who we are. We can describe what we look like, the type of work we do, our ethnic heritage or gender. Yet, that comes nowhere near the trut
