Everyone needs a Personal Assistant….

I’m one of the rare few in life who are genuinely happy in their job.  The culture and workplace at SEEK is so passionate, dynamic & uplifting.  I enjoy being an executive assistant as I love to organise people.  I enjoy coordinating schedules & I get a buzz from organizing events - functions & parties.  Some weeks have been very demanding and crazy – like the past month or so.  But then I have days here and there where I get time to surf the net & reconnect with friends & family via email or myspace or facebook (which I am torn between).  Finding a good balance between everything has been challenging since living on my own.  One day I will be a self employed Life Coach.  I have recently started my studies and I’m trying to manage my time so I can achieve all my goals.  For the past 2 weeks I have been seeing an amazing Life Coach, who is not only amazingly inspirational but whom I feel a genuine connection with.  Natasha Odnoral is a beautiful soul that has the ability to make you feel that anything is achievable .  www.empyreancoaching.com.au  One of the things we have been looking at has been time management.  I have noticed in the past few weeks that I have been letting people down or tasks are not getting completed.  This makes me feel uneasy as I LOVE to be organised.  Do I cull some friends who are too demanding of my time?  I haven’t had the time I would like to spend with my boyfriend or to do domestic chores or to be more active & fit or to give more time to studying or to take on extra work for a friend for extra cash or to catch up with family or to have energy at the end of this for some social nights out with friends…….. the list goes on….

Healthy voices in our head – NOISE!

Nature vs Nurture!  Such an old debate. I was born on the cusp of Virgo & Libra  (but how much does Astrology really play a part in who we are!?)…..  I was also born with traits that I may have received from the gene pool.  I could say that I was born super sensitive and worry alot… did that come from my grandma maybe?  Or maybe that came from the fact I was the youngest and my older sister and mum had stronger, more assertive and dominating personalities.  Maybe it was because I grew up in ahousehold of 3 females and no male figures in my life.  Virgoans/Virgins are known for being very analytical and overthink everything.  I never grew up with religious faith, thus when I had my natal astrology chart done in my early 20’s, I was blown away with the accuracy of my personality details and the outlining of situations/lessons I was attracting.  I was once told, that certain ’star signs’ like Libra have 2 sides that are trying to balance out…. Librans are always struggling to find harmony… (Another trait I could relate to)  So,  I have felt sometimes that I had 2 little voices always trying to agree  (hmmm.. the indecisiveness of the Libran) .  Can you imagine the noise when mixed with another Virgo voice??…. DOH – 3 voices – or I should say ‘opposing perceptions or views’! One of my major challenges for many years was merging the voices so they all agree and are in harmony, whilst trying not to overanalyse them.  When faced with choices I now have a much easier time than years gone by.  There are so many variables in determining how we perceive the world, how we react and what make up our attitudes, personalities etc etc.   It took me a long time to discover ‘who cares’ about the ‘what has contributed to the way we are’!!  I stopped doing this along time ago and now focus more about being the person I want to be & making the changes!!

Destiny is created by the choices we make… not the chances we take!

People come into your life for a reason.  The relationships that we share are always by choice… we create them and we chose to stay in them or chose not to… so blaming someone else for our situations in life is quite ignorant.I consider myself very fortunate to have many wonderful friendships in my life & have had the opportunities to form connections with people from ALL walks of life.  There have been a few on the way that have taught me about deception & disloyalty – so i am not deluded that they have all been positive experiences, yet they have indeed been necessary to provide me with a healthier awareness. My family relationships have provided me with enormous insights about what traits to try and develop within myself and the ones that are detrimental to my happiness. …  There has also been a handful of significant male relationships that have been beneficial in determining what ‘makes me tick’.   If I could, I would love to thank everyone that have given me the opportunities to love, to trust and to be truthful in who I am.  They have all brought me to this point in my life, whereby I have learnt from each interaction and will continue to learn from in the future.  I feel truly alive and at peace with all of my relationships in my life right now…

Kings of tomorrow – “Time marches on never ending… time keeps its own time”.. My life is somewhat surreal… Sometimes I feel like Carrie Bradshaw from Sex in the City… The whole 30-something unmarried girl leading a very expensive lifestyle!! Although I’m not from New York  – but living, working and playing in funky St.Kilda, Melbourne (Australia)… Unfortunately I dont have Carrie’s wardrobe or collection of Manolo Blahnik shoes.. DOH! All of my life, people have said that I should write a book… So maybe this is a trial run… But some names need to be protected!! As I would never want to hurt anyone intentionally – as everyone is on their own different journey and I respect that!! Some people aren’t ready (for whatever reasons) to be fully true to who they are – and certainly aren’t ready therefore to unveil their real self to others for fear of being judged. As Morcheeba once said ‘it’s all part of the process…’
