Inspirational Reading.

Happiness Is The Journey... Father Alfred D'Souza

  Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before.Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth.

The Man In the Arena

by Theodore Roosevelt (From a speech delivered in Paris in 1910)

  It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat.

     

Focussing on doing the work you were born to do

Continue developing and trusting your inner knowledge over your doubts.

“as we think so we shall become”. Stretch yourself a little everyday act on your inner knowledge. “ With the heart and head together you can reach beyond the

edge” Aim to demonstrate, not prove. Integrate inner and outer success. Keep stepping through the biggest fear of all – the fear of

happiness, joy, and true success. Resist the urge to sabotage.

HAVING A BRILLIANT IDEA BUT NOT FOLLOWING IT THROUGH. Know that the ultimate success is not what you achieve, but who

you become aware of being in the process.

Beating the Stress of the Day

Meditation Exercise. The Light (Anthony De Mello)Go over the events of the dayFrom the moment you woke uptill the present moment.Start with the first event: waking up.Look at it from the outside, so to speak,As a neutral observer would.

Observe not just the external event of waking up But you inner reaction; your thoughtsAnd feelings and fantasiesAnd mood.Then move on to the next eventAnd so through every portion of the day.

Do not judge yourself or the event. just lookNo condemnation, no approval The light of awareness alone will destroy all that is evil;And bring to life all that is good. And your life will become luminous and transparent.

DelegationDefine the task.• Select the individual or team What are your reasons for delegating to this person or team? What are they going to get out of it? What

are you going to get out of it? • Assess ability and training needs Is the other person or team of people capable of doing the task? Do they understand what needs to be

done. • Explain the reasons You must explain why the job or responsibility is being delegated. And why to that person or people? • State required results What must be achieved? Clarify understanding by getting feedback from the other person. • Consider resources required Discuss and agree what is required to get the job done. Consider people, location, premises, equipment,

money, materials, other related activities and services.• Agree deadlines When must the job be finished? Or if an ongoing duty, when are the review dates? When are the reports

due? And if the task is complex and has parts or stages, what are the priorities?• Support and communicate Think about who else needs to know what's going on, and inform them. Involve the other person in

considering this so they can see beyond the issue at hand. Do not leave the person to inform your own peers of their new responsibility. Warn the person about any awkward matters of politics or protocol. Inform your own boss if the task is important, and of sufficient profile.

• Feedback on results It is essential to let the person know how they are doing, and whether they have achieved their aims.
