TALENT SHOW & TELL

Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re worthless, useless or pointless!
You are unique and beautiful in so many ways.

It breaks my heart when I witness the negative self-talk of those I have counselled, trained or observed around me in society.

Put downs of oneself, harsh judgements, unrealistic views and constant disappointment in oneself, do not allow personal growth and expansion. All they do is produce a vibration that blocks and expels success and self love.

Women empowering women to be the best they can be. A Writer, an Artist, and a Model.

It’s bad enough that we may suffer this from others, because often that’s something we can’t control. However we can chose to block it out and not take it on board.
We must be our own best advocate in life.
The only way to succeed in anything we do in life, whether it be physically, emotionally, or financially, is to have self pride, self trust, and self love.

We all have different talents and abilities, the secret lays in finding them, believing in them and nurturing them.

Discovering your talents can come in childhood if you have a caring, engaging nurturing parent then this is easier to achieve. But sadly, we don't all have those, if this is or was the case in your life it is imperative that you find yourself a good role model or mentor in your field of talent to support and assist you.
There is the exception to the rule, where people from severely disadvantaged backgrounds power themselves forward with purpose and determination despite their negative childhoods.

A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.” — Bob Proctor.

You also don’t have to follow in the footsteps that others have laid out for you or told you that you must follow. So many parents are living their lives through their children, wanting their children to live an experience they missed out on, or thinking their meddling and controlling intentions are for their child's own good. Some even concern themselves with status, or Society’s views, thinking that if their child fails to obtain a degree or certification, it’s the end of both their worlds. Eventually this will backfire and it won't be pretty for anyone.
We should be proud of our children for the important things in life like kindness, authenticity, morals, values, integrity and self respect and self love. This is what eventuates to all life successes.

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.”.... Jim Rohn.

Choose to spend your time with those who enhance your life, whose vibration is positive, loving and kind.

Your circumstances in life shouldnt entirely dictate your direction. No matter how hopeless a situation may appear, with a little bit of ingenuity and creativity you can manage to slowly build your dreams whilst doing what you need to do in order to survive and live in the now. You only have to read my story in my autobiography "Counting Feathers" to see the truth in this.

You must also remind yourself that you absolutely don't have to do what everyone else is doing. If working for an employer from nine to five in an office job really isn't your thing, or working in sales doesn't thrill you, or that university degree you acquired to get into a certain field didn't inspire you once you got the actual job, then it’s up to you to take stock and manifest a new direction and vision. Nobody is going to hand-feed you or drive you to success, only you can make your dreams happen. Being a victim of circumstances also won't help you, so just drop it. Ultimately happiness is what matters in life, and you must live in a way that feels authentically right for YOU!

We all have a personal responsibility to develop the talents we have been given to get to where we want to be.

Everyone has talent. What's rare is the courage to follow it, despite the dark places you may find yourself in until it leads you into the light.

So what are these talents? And don't tell me you don't have any! We all have a talent or two or three!
The first thing is actually recognising and knowing what your talents are! If you don’t know then it’s up to you to discover them. When you know what they are, you need to nurture and grow them. This is where a mentor in that field comes into play. I myself had mentors in the world of writing, poetry and publishing. What I learnt from watching, observing and reading from these talented and educated people was absolutely invaluable. Without even realising it, just by being in their presence, I acquired all the skills I now hold.

Magic the gathering.... write it down….

dream big…..get it done.

Yes I am also currently studying for my degree in Creative Writing, but not even that compares to the knowledge I acquired and continue to acquire from my published author mentors, my friends in the field of law and economics, high court judges, doctors of medicine, all of these brilliant creative and expansive minds who open and exercise my brain and mind to expand to its fullest potential.
I cannot describe the feeling of happiness and satisfaction within my core being by living my truth.
Of course I'm the first to tell you that living your talents doesn't make this an easy journey. But nothing wonderful or appreciated ever came from easy; if it was easy then everyone would be successful, wouldn't they! It depends on whether you’re willing to sacrifice something now for later success. How much do you trust yourself, how hard are you going to work at it?

The way you do anything is the way you do everything.…..an artist loves to create. Feed your soul with an abundant supply of talent-enhancing activities. Keep your vibration high and watch everything around you flourish.

Of course when you’re doing something you love, it won't feel like hard work! It will still hold joy and excitement! Just like my writing and everything I do in my life thrills me beyond belief. The beauty about this is that it sends out high positive vibrations which are contagious to those around you. Luck is what happens to us when we are resonating on a high vibrational frequency.

The hours fly by and your labour of love grows and branches out, it blossoms and expands upward, the sky’s the limit! People also begin to magically appear around you to help bring your visions and dreams to fruition and completion. In my book Model Redress I actually manifested into life the people from its pages!
The book became my life. Of course I knew it would, because of the law of attraction.

I cannot help but smile when I think of my journey from domestic violence and abuse to one of personal success and happiness by doing what I love, by trusting and believing in myself and my talents, by nurturing them despite the odds, despite the naysayers, the critics and the killjoys.
Trust me when I tell you that you too can rise above your situation no matter what it is or how bleak it may appear now. Believe me when I tell you that you can turn a negative experience into a positive one and have it work for you rather than against you.
Lastly choose your friends wisely, gather some mentors, choose positive self talk and only spend time with souls who enhance your life experience.
Everything is energy and that's one thing you can control……your own energy.

Love & Light
