Leave a Personal and Professional Legacy You Can Be Proud Of


You want to inspire budding entrepreneurs to pursue their dreams

You want to inspire writers and artists to write and paint more

You want to inspire fashion designers and fashionistas to keep innovating

You want to inspire musicians to come out with new scores.

__

You want to inspire the unadventurous to do something new and a little scary, but worthwhile

You want to inspire people to conquer their fears

You want  to inspire the weak-intentioned to be stronger in their intentions

You want to inspire procrastinators to take the first step.

__

You want to pass on ideas, thoughts, and compliments that could be useful

You want to build confidence, so people are courageous enough to take a chance on themselves

You want to build confidence by saying “you can do this” or “you got this”

You want to be accessible, supportive, and always ready to listen and help.

__

You want to help people get through challenges

You want to be a calm, caring, reassuring voice, when things get tough

You want to give people the confidence, not just to handle the day to day

But also the strength to deal with the uncomfortable, difficult stuff.

__

These are the things you can do as a boss, parent, mentor, well-wisher

And if you do, here’s what the satisfaction will be -

You know you would have changed lives

By helping people achieve their potential and their destiny.

😊

Upper Case MINOO thought nothing of walking out of anything she didn't like - events, jobs, relationships.

😊

Upper Case MINOO was a Tiger Mom and Helicopter Mom rolled in one.

Your turn.

Create a list like mine - with  Upper Case and Lower Case versions of yourself. 

If you are comfortable sharing 1 or 2 of your observations about yourself, I would love to hear them. 

You can do that via comments on Blogger, or comments on Facebook.

A 2024 Message of Hope From Me


There will be times

when you feel you've lost your way

when you think I can't do this for another day

There will be times.


There will be times

when you feel alone

and the more people around you talk and joke around, the more you feel on your own

There will be times.


There will be times

when every day seems like a grind

and you feel rotten, because you are the only one who thinks that way, the only one that seems to mind

There will be times.


There will be times.

And they will be hard times

and you will have to stay strong

and believe a day will come along

when your feelings will settle

and you will see what they are telling you

Those lost, burnt-out or hopeless feelings are a part of your journey,

and contain a vital message for you.

A message of hope, renewal, and redemption.
