Part 1 - Welcome!

Dear <$firstname$>,

I hope the sun is shining for you wherever you happen to be reading this newsletter!

'Design Your Life' passed another exciting milestone this month, 14 months after it's launch. I am pleased to say that the newsletter is now officially going out to subscribers in over a hundred different countries around the world! This has all unfolded without any office staff or even the luxury of an advertising budget!

I just wanted take this opportunity to thank you personally for your continued support of this newsletter and the work that I do. Thank you also for recommending 'Design Your Life' to your friends, colleagues and loved ones. It really means a lot to me.

Although 100 countries sounds like a nice number, I have to say that it's what lies beneath the numbers that really excites me.

In the world today, there are many people that will try and convince you that you are separate from other people for reasons of nationality, culture, colour and beliefs.

Focusing on our separateness is something I just don't buy into. In fact, if the human race is to have any chance of surviving on this planet, we need our collective focus to shift towards our similarities. For me personally, it's incredibly rewarding to know that this newsletter is a tiny thread unifying people around the world regardless of their geography.

If you have a message that you would like to bring to a global audience, I would be only to happy to help you on your way! To register for a 30 minute complimentary coaching session, please click here

Take a chance 2day!

Part 3 - Interesting People.

Hadassah Raven is an exceptionally talented writer. Over the last year she has written and revised five feature films (one a collaboration), a reality television pilot episode and a short play.

But she hasn't always been this prolific. In fact, there have been times in her life where she has experienced extreme writers block. Through experimentation with both hemispheres of her brain she was able to begin to unlock her own creative potential. She now shares her techniques to enable other writers to do the same...read more

Part 4 - Inspirational Quote of the Month!

"At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want."

Lao-tzu

Part 5 - Featured Article - Where are you showing up?

One of my favourite Woody Allen quotes is that "Eighty percent of success is just showing up".

What I like about this saying is it's implied emphasis on the discipline of consistency. Though natural talent and aptitude is important, much of your success in any endeavour will come down to your ability to follow through on the goals and dreams that you set for yourself.

But what about those of us who want to go the full distance and tap into the final 20% of the success frontier. Well I believe that it actually comes down to three critical factors

(1) Where you show up.
(2) How you show up.
(3) How you encourage others to show up.

Where are you showing up?

Take a moment to think of where you are showing up in the world right now. Are you placing yourself in environments that are supportive of your growth and well-being? Or are you hiding out in environments that are designed to keep you playing small?

When we find ourselves in environments that don't support us, it often provides us with the perfect alibi for our lack of success. We blame our jobs, we blame our loved ones, we blame our governments. And more often than not, we also blame ourselves.

Next time you feel yourself slipping into blame, see if you can slip into responsibility instead. Start by examining the choices that you are currently making. What steps can you take to surround yourself with people that will actually spur you on to be all you can be?

How are you showing up?

How you are showing up really comes down to whether or not you are doing things to the very best of your ability.

I have very fond memories of putting in some spectacular half efforts when I was growing up, particularly around doing the dishes or making my bed. Whenever my Dad spotted one of my lack lustre performances he would always sing the following little dittie...

"Do what you do, do well Boy... Do what you do, do well..."

At the time it I couldn't bear listening to my Dad sing this song, particularly when he sung it out of tune. But when I actually began to fully understand the song I grew to secretly love it (not that I ever told my Dad!). It is now so ingrained in me that it's a part of everything I do.

There is no better feeling in the world than actually knowing that you've given something 100% of your energy, love and attention. You'll be amazed at how much more enjoyable your life will become when you consistently raise the standards you set for yourself in everything that you do.

How are you encouraging others to show up?

At our very deepest levels, I believe each of us long to be loved, appreciated and have our unique talents recognised, acknowledged and celebrated.

We all have this ability to give this gift to other people. Consider the small things you can do on a daily basis to inspire and bring out the magnificence in other people. Focus upon the good in everyone that you meet and in return your love will be reflected right back at you.

Making the personal commitment to show up fully!

So how can you show up bigger, better and brighter than ever before? What disciplines do you need to put into place to make it a possibility? Well I believe it all starts with commitment. Once you've made the personal commitment to raise the bar in everything that you do, you will start to become pleasantly surprised at how many things actually start to go your way!

If for any reason your struggling to lift the bar, just give me a shout and I'll put you in touch with my Dad. I'm sure he'd love to sing his little song for you!
