My girls are people magnets!Written by Kenia Morales
Since I work at home I spend whole day with my girls and everyday I observe what a splendid greeting they give my husband when he comes home after a long day at work. What does he think about it? He loves it; sometimes he knocks on door instead of letting himself in on purpose so, that they can run to door before he comes inside. They start shouting at top of their lungs: DADDY, DADDY! With biggest smiles and unable to stay still, so much excitement! He seems to enjoy every minute of it and confesses that he starts thinking about their warm welcome while driving home from work. Yes my story maybe a little funny and similar to others! However, when you pay close attention to interaction of children with people in general you can easily see that part of what makes them so likeable besides being cute. It is how happy or excited they get in presence of others whether it is a parent, family member or a good friend. Do you see where I am going with this? I am pretty sure you are! Imagine saying hi to someone and person seems emotionless or even sad. How would this make you feel? I am sure you won’t feel so great after such a cold greeting. Now imagine saying hi to someone that gives you a killer smile. I bet you are feeling better already. Better yet! Add a hug along with an “I am happy to see you” statement. You just felt like most important person at moment and probably want to spend more time with this individual.

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.” Marianne WilliamsonHow long have you waited to be happy at work? Or to write a book? Or bring home income you deserve? Are you your own best support system or biggest diversion? Consider this, cheetah has no problem using its gift of speed. The bald eagle easily uses its keen eye sight and ability to soar. Dolphins joyfully display their playfulness. Imagine what is possible for humans with our unique gift of mind if we focus on what serves us vs. what holds us back. Discover 4 steps to set your mind for success. 1- Know what is limiting you~ Do you like mysteries? Here’s one that can change your life. Let’s investigate. What beliefs are at core of who you are? Pay attention for one week to self-limiting beliefs that show up. As a detective, be consciously aware. Keep a journal handy to jot down notes. Beliefs can present themselves as a label you place upon yourself partnered with an assumption such as Single Parent- there is only so much I can do. They can reveal themselves in a negative statement such as “I can’t be ….”, “I can’t do…”, “ I’m not good enough”, I’m not smart enough…”. Beliefs may be uncovered in an assumption such as “there’s not enough time”, “that’s too hard”, or “he’ll say ‘no’”. Write down beliefs that are restraining you from what you want. 2- Get to source of diversion~ A good detective digs deeper. Whose voice is attached to belief? How did this belief become attached to your life? Is it legitimate? Is it serving you? Or limiting you? Jot your notes. I have to warn you. We hesitate to go within because we subconsciously know what may be lurking at source. That 4 letter word… fear! Write down fears you discover that are holding you back.
