Passion Power

I believe that Values are very important and that when you are honouring them in your life everything is good. When you are not honouring them, you will feel out of whack and upset. For example, if one of the most important things to you is being the best parent you can be and you are working out of town 5 days a week you are going to feel frustrated. If one of your values is to be able to speak your mind and you aren't speaking your mind, you will feel imbalanced. One of my values is to experience as much Joy as humanly possible everyday. If I go a couple of days without feeling joy in my life, I start to become anxious. What matters to you? what are your values? Our values give shape and definition to our life. They aren't universal answers. They're different for everyone. Here are 5 questions to help you discover yours. 1. what is important to me about life? 2. What is important to me about living? 3. what legacy do I want to leave behind when I go? 4

One of my longstanding goals is communication excellence. To stand up on matters that are important to me and speak my mind. To be able to say the right thing to the right people at the right time on a more consistent basis. One of the reasons I joined Toastmasters a couple of years ago was so that I could develop good communication skills. I have this recurring dream that I'm speechless. It use to happen quite a bit...about once a week. I would wake up all sweaty and then relieved that it was all just another dream. But I was perplexed. Why am I dreaming this repeatedly. I knew it meant something but I never thought much about my dreams before. here's what would happen in the dream. I'm in a room with a bunch of people I either know or don't know. It could be a meeting, a wedding, at a party or even out at a restaurant. Things are normal and conversation is flowing and then suddenly something happens.... I have the floor. It's my turn to speak. Oh No
