4. "If you don't know
where you're going, any
road'll take you there“
~ Alice in Wonderland

5. “If you're trying to achieve, there will
be roadblocks. I've had them;
everybody has had them. But obstacles
don't have to stop you. If you run into a
wall, don't turn around and give up.
Figure out how to climb it, go through
it, or work around it.” ~ Michael Jordan

6. For most people, figuring out
our vision, is less like a flash
of lightning. It often takes a
bit more thought. I’ve found
it to be an iterative process.
A process of hewing and
refinement.

7. It’s been said that most people
spend more time planning their
summer holidays than they do
their life.

9. If you’re not building your
dream – you’ll find you’re
contributing to someone
else’s.
Does that work for you?

10. Our Greatest Fear
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented and fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of
God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.
Marianne Williamson

14. • Find the 7 or 8 values which are the most
important to you. Are values are the criteria
by which we make (some) decisions. It can be
useful to know what the underlying criteria
behind your decisions are.
• It’s also useful to know that sometimes values
may clash – this can be a source of conflict.
