Forward Steps Note #10 http://www.forwardsteps.com.au/ForwardStepsDaily10forward.html Listen, listen, listen and then...listen some more. Hearing is not the same thing as listening. Listening means using all of the senses that you have available to you and shutting off your own chatter. Mostly when we listen to others we “chatter” opinions or judgments about what’s being said or we’re devising what it is that we’re going to say next. Could you truly listen and “be with” the other person when they speak? Video hosted at YouTube: http://youtu.be/Hnk950xhoMA

Forward Steps Note #9 http://www.forwardsteps.com.au/ForwardStepsDaily9positive.html "View life as a series of movie frames, the ending and meaning may not be apparent until the very end of the movie, and yet, each of the hundreds of individual frames has meaning within the context of the whole movie. View your life from your funeral, looking back at your life experiences, what have you accomplished? What would you have wanted to accomplish but didn’t? What were the happy moments? What were the sad? What would you do again, and what you wouldn’t?" -Victor Frankl More inspiration at www.forwardstepsblog.com Video hosted at YouTube: http://youtu.be/JQATf_KGbPo

Forward Steps Note #4 http://www.forwardsteps.com.au/ForwardStepsDaily4choices.html Enjoy this short tale about self worth. I do not know if the story is true, however it is a great parable about valuing your time and skills. The story goes that Picasso was sitting at a cafe enjoying the summer morning sun, when a lady came up to him and asked him to sketch a portrait of her. "Oui Madam", he replied, reaching for his drawing book. Within a matter of minutes he had finished the rendition of his subject, and turning the page to show her, scribbled his price for the portrait on a napkin. She exploded! "You must be crazy, asking that much! It took you 3 minutes to draw my portrait!" "Yes Madam" Picasso replied in a slow drawl, "but it took me 40 years to learn how".
