As humans, we often fall victim to fear...fear of losing something, fear of being hurt, fear of hurting, fear of embarrassment, fear of abandonment and so on. We rarely recognize that feelings are inevitable.
Sometimes, we need to feel a certain way so that we can start to feel a different way. This journey is not always easy, but it is always worth it as we consider the rest of our lives.
Our goal has to be about learning and growing as we move through life. Moments of sadness then become opportunities to learn and grow.
This is a time in your life that is wanting you to, allowing you to and encouraging you to grow...to outgrow parts of your fear and embrace a truer version of yourself.
Be brave and grow.

The Elusive Goal of Eternal Happiness
Most of us have heard at one time or the other that one should enjoy the journey of life and not only strive for the elusive goal of eternal happiness. But what we all seem to miss is that eternal happiness is possible if you make a commitment to appreciate the positives and learn what your strengths are from the negatives. The commitment starts by placing trust in the process of life.

About Change
The notion of change comes home to people when they are being approached holistically within the framework of a therapeutic and safe relationship. My approach to people is about building trust in a person-centered, strength-based, cooperative, collaborative, and culturally sensitive counselling. Listening to the stories of suffering, at times I find a significant amount of resiliency and strength shown by those individuals who are now unable to see their real Self. I believe in a socially responsible practice which is about promoting health, education, prevention, and outreach by highlighting the areas of strength that have been forgotten. It is there, I can see how individuals would be able to appreciate the way they can re-evaluate the self and find acceptance. It is then, when change is possible.

Success Tip of the Week - Leadership
``Leadership means focusing on the bigger picture, not the personal picture``.
The most successful leaders set aside the personal and put before all else what is best for the overall endeavour. Humility allows for useful external feedback that, in turn, leads to increased odds of success and increased odds of personal satisfaction. Make sure that you don’t get in the way of your goals.

Family Planning Success Tip of the Week
Another year is upon us, we are faced with recuperating from the economic downslide while still dealing with day-to-day routines and demands. So why would anybody talk to you about
discovering your Passion-4-Life. Well, life will always keep you busy with endless demands and requirements. We can hopefully agree that life is finite. As such, in the limited time we have, we get to choose our experience. Will this year see you exist as a mere “worker bee” or as a person who wants and deserves more? Let me give you a few tips on how to bring about the latter:
Schedule time for yourself. As we get busy, we often become the last item on our “to do” list. As you free up even a little time for yourself, it will give you the space to think about what will add
to your life experience.
Make a list of what brings you true joy. We may “know” what those things are, but we rarely remember them in the moment. Define your passion so that you can start to make it a priority in
your life. Pick one item from that list and put it into action. You can recruit help from family, friends, co-workers and others in order to transform that item from a concept to your reality.
As you start this, you will find that it is possible despite challenges and hurdles.
It is a matter of changing habits and breathing life into it. The more you commit to it, the easier it will get in time. Imagine that you get through all the items of your list…this is life changing!
Done is the mundane day-to-day existence. You will get to welcome a new life for yourself that consists of getting the little things done AND enjoying the things that fulfill you and brighten your spirit. You deserve nothing less.
We plan vacations, we plan weddings and yet, we often stumble when it comes to creating a family plan (“FP”). This plan is not a Dr. Ruth special about conception. Instead, it looks at how to sustain a healthy and joyful family life that has everyone on board with current and future plans. The FP avoids building up of resentment toward one another, feeling alone in your relationship, experiencing less or no intimacy, constantly arguing over money, being overwhelmed with tasks – to mention just a few of the key issues that lead to separation and divorce these days.
The FP is designed to keep you on track, together, with enthusiasm and desire. Here are a few tips on how to construct a “Family Plan”: Your career It is important to talk to each other
about your short-term and long-term goals regarding your careers/jobs, to think about how you want to get there and to determine whether you can both do it at the same time, or if one of you
takes the lead while the other holds on. This way, you can move forward knowing that you are supporting each other achieve goals. Logistically, you may budget for one of you to get more education while the other is working. Money gets set aside each month for the “education fund”, the budget may need to be tighter for a pre-determined time period while you work longer hours
to make more money, for example. You may sacrifice time together for now, in order to accomplish this goal. The point is that you are both on board with current and future changes, you know that you are supporting each other and you are building a future that you have both
bought in to where everyone is ok.
