What animal is your personality - take this FREE test

One of the greatest lessons I have learnt is that my way is not the only way .... I know go figure... who would think?

It may sound simple, however upon further reflection there is quite an easy reason for this, one that can be explained by our personalities.

Imagine for a moment we had 4 animals in a room;

• Bull
• Peacock
• Labrador
• Owl

How do you think they would each act, think and feel?

Imagine they could all communicate with each other, what might happen in this room?

Which animal would you say might be in-charge of action due to their sheer strength but can be sometimes seen as aggressive?

Which animal is going to want all the attention, to put on a show although can get so caught up in connecting with others they forget what they were supposed to be doing?

Which animal will be loyal, trusting and giving no matter what is happening, sometime to their own detriment?

Which animal will think a lot about the situation, applying logic and reason yet sometimes can get caught up in the detail?

Can you pick which animal aligns with each characteristic?   

Which animal characteristics do YOU align with? 

Don’t believe everything you think about yourself – ask these 4 simple questions

I have the privilege of speaking and helping a lot of people. A common theme I hear is “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not smart enough”, “I don’t know what to do”, “I should do more”, “I should know better.” and so on. Often we put so much pressure on ourselves by the thoughts we choose to have.

If you have ever fallen into that category then here is a very simple tool for you. It comes from the work of Byron Katie where she simply asks 4 questions beginning with “IS THIS TRUE?”

.... Is it really true that you are dumb, not good enough and should do more? ...... search your mind, body and heart ... really search.

 ..... Is this really true?

.....  How can you know for sure that this is true?

.....  How do you react, what happens, when you believe that thought?

.....  Who would you be without the thought?

Really sit with this and ask yourself these questions. These questions are know as THE WORK. The great thing is, the work simply implies the work we do on ourselves.

More often than not we get so caught up in our own thoughts that we actually start to believe them. I have done many courses and read many books and I find the strategy created here by Byron Katie to be not only simple but effective.

Do you know the purpose of your life’s experiences?

Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life was?

I mean what is the point of all the stuff you have been learning – the good stuff and the crappy stuff? Why do we have to experience it? What does it all mean?

Well, I recently completed a course in Transpersonal Coaching which is basically incorporating Spiritual Intelligence into Coaching – but what does that even mean?

Coping with Change - why and how?

People tend to think that if you are in the field of Personal Development, that life is easy. Well let me tell you, the more aware you are, the more challenges you face. You see, we all experience change, but that doesn't mean it is always easy. So, how can we better manage it? how can we become more flexible and “go-with-the-flow”?, how can we be better manage the fear and anxiety and why is change even necessary?

I wish I had a simple answer or you, however I do not ... sorry about that.

Change is everywhere.

Feb already .... ?

Wow .... Its February already ... how time flies when your having fun.

The start of 2012 has been full of excitement and wonder with many opportunities unveiling themselves.

From the beginnings on the Hawksbury River on New Years day to hippy markets near Byron Bay. Hanging out with family in Coffs Harbour and then having the realization that everyone else is back at work ..... Now what .... I decide it is time to act and get my a........ into gear (act that is).

Thankfully I love what I do, so jumping ......
