“You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.” ~ James Baldwin
You may feel that no one understands what you are going through. Acknowledge how you feel. Yet, know you are alone. Someone has experienced your situation. Reach out to others. Share your experience. You may discover the treasure of a mentor that has gone through it, survived it and has grown stronger despite it.
Remember You Are Not Alone on Treasures Thursday!

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.”
~ Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr
When I was carrying my son, the Serenity Prayer was one of the daily prayers that I repeated many times throughout the day. It put me in a place of peace to not stress out over things that were beyond my control.
Dr. Stephen Covey’s book 7 Habits of Highly Effective People teaches the reader to work in his/her Circle of Influence. I find this advice to be similar to the Serenity Prayer. It is the first Habit to develop to become a highly effective person.
The First Habit instructs the reader to work in the area that he/she has the most control. This often is yourself. You have the most control over you. You can make changes in you by the way you view or approach a situation, person or thing.
Trying to change someone else is a difficult thing to do, if they do not want to be changed. Recognizing this earlier in life will save you a lot of headaches in the future. Therein lies wisdom that brings serenity. The Serenity Prayer (whether you are religious or not) is a timeless prayer for most situation in life.
Namaste on Timeless Tuesday.

Are you feeling overwhelmed as though there is not enough time to get it all done? Stop to see what you may be doing or not doing to leave you feeling this way. The times that I have felt overwhelmed were ones when I may be trying to do everything myself.
The “If you want it done right, do it yourself” mantra may leave you trying to do too many things at once. Or it may put you in an area that you are not your strongest . Throughout my years as a manger or project leader, I learned that one must learn to delegate some of the workload to others, especially in the areas where you are the weakest. You cannot be the expert in everything.
Find someone who is strong in that field that you have little knowledge or passion for it. Share detailed information of what is required to accomplish the task with him or her. Give timelines of when you need it. Agree upon when you will share key milestones until the project is completed. This will free you up to do what you do best. John Maxwell, the international author and speaker, often states that we do our best when we stay in the area where we are the strongest.
Let go of feeling overwhelmed. Release some of the control to others. The team approach can relieve some of the burden you carry. This is a great way to become more invincible. Learn to delegate.

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
How many times have someone missed an opportunity to gain knowledge, assistance, or something or someone that may benefit his/her life because he/she didn’t ask? It is generally due to the fear of rejection.
There were instances when I struggled with a problem or needed assistance in a situation, but I hesitated to ask for help. Then, I pushed myself to get pass the fear of the dreaded “no.” I ask of myself: What is the worse that can happen because I got the answer “no.?” Often the answer is not that serious. This gives me the courage to ask. Guess what? The answer is usually “yes.” I found out that I lose more when I don’t ask, than when I do.
Paulo Coelho says it best…when we ask, this universe of ours conspires to make it happen. Go ahead. Ask! Enjoy this Wisdom Wednesday by Living a Diamond Life. Live a Life of Purpose!
