Your magic phrase
A phrase that can improve your present state in a heartbeat! Two years ago, I participated in a seven-day seminar called Breakthrough to Success with my mentor Jack Canfield, in Scottsdale, Arizona of America. Jack Canfield is considered to be the No. 1 coach in America and has sold over 112 million books in 40 languages. There were about 300 people from 48 different countries.

The Rock in Your Life
Before a couple of months I passed through a state of shock. I had a health problem that was acting up. I left behind a relationship that I believed had a future. My Greece (which I had made a conscious decision to live in, 5 years previously) was going bankrupt. Daily. I felt like all the stable factors in my life had become… unstable. At the same time, our company, was rapidly developing. As a life coach, its part of my job to support and inspire people, especially during this ‘special’ period, many individuals and companies come to me with this aim in mind.

Forgive in order to Succeed!
2012 is already here! Have you ever wondered how much baggage you bring into the New Year from situations which have hurt you in the past? During our coaching sessions, daily, I see that every one of us has been hurt by other people in the past. From the celebrity who was abused by her father, to the general manager who was fired because he uncovered an economic sandal in his company, or even the husband who caught his best friend with his wife. Throughout our lives other people’s behavior crushes us at times.

Be the change you want to see in the world
A few days ago, I attended a very interesting speech in Athens Greece. It is no secret anymore that Greece is in a deep crisis. Peter Economides was the speaker and the subject was “Rebranding Greece”. I follow Peter’s activities, and I was sure that it would be an inspirational speech. I was surprised by the attendance. The hall was packed, and over 50 people were standing. People of all ages. Well, yes, it seems there are a lot of people who want the current situation to change. And this is a promising message.

Once upon a time, there was a place called Paradise. Paradise was a blessed place. Blessed with a great mild climate and a wonderful sun, blessed with superb islands, beaches and a lengthy coastline, blessed with a great variety of mountains, hills and valleys. There were plenty of natural resources and living in paradise was a great honor. Paradisians, the habitants of Paradise, were in absolute bliss, inviting people from all over the world to spend their vacations in bliss as well.

You are Unique
There is a very common phrase in all the crime movies: “You are guilty, we found your DNA to the scene of the crime, and nobody has the same DNA…you have the right to remain silent…”! You are Unique! Truly! There is no one like you in the whole world. Obviously I do not mean only your appearance… No one has your knowledge. One may have the same degrees, certificates and working experience, but only you are able to perceive your particular knowledge on your own and unique way.

How blessed are you?
Nowadays, it is true that lots of people tend to be very negative. Everybody is negative about the taxes they pay, those who do not have a job moan for unemployment, those who have moan for the low wages and all together moan for the politicians. I understand. The global economic situation, is historically one of the most difficult ones. Now, close your eyes and just do not think of a blue elephant…. rn…What did you see? What did you think of?

Woman’s day!
The 8th of March, is the International Women’s Day, in memory of a protest that took place on the 8th of March 1857, held by women textile workers in New York, asking for better working conditions. However, nowadays the International Women’s Day, has lost its political background, turning into an expression of sympathy from men to women, via presents and flowers. It is being held by the United Nations since 1975, to highlight women’s rights and problems. Below, you can see a plenty of quotes that I chose, to remind us our unique nature. “Women are always beautiful”, Ville Valo.

Rage: Get to know it and …leave it behind!
Yes! It is totally unfair…everybody tells you so. It is insane. It wasn’t your fault and you can’t understand why this is happening to you. Either someone talked to you badly or you were a victim of fraud, either a minor or major problem, the result is always the same: you feel angry! Our anger, no matter how hard we try to control it, is there. How many times have you seen someone and feel uncomfortable about his sitting next to you or get upset with his rude manner? How many times have you talked on the phone realizing that your interlocutor is simmering with anger?
