Living Your Legacy

Happy day to you all!


Isn't it awesome we have the privilege to live our legacy everyday?


Quite a challenge, yet worth it.


Are you living your legacy today or waiting? Every day counts! Every interaction counts.


My legacy I hope I am living every day -- to leave the world a better place. To give people encouragement and hope that inside they have seeds of greatness.


To be an Earth Angel.


Choose to live your legacy today before it is too late.


Live well! Be the blessing!

Are You a Listener or a Talker?

Think back to leaders you have known please. Did they have the ability to truly listen?


I bet they did. People we remember in a positive manner are people who listened with their eyes, heart and ears.


Being listened to makes us feel validated and respected. And who doesn't want that?


Who needs validation today? Go do it! You will reap respect and trust -- advocates.


My motto: Listen more, talk less.


This includes listening to your heart :).

Leader or Manager?

Which are you? Honestly, you need both depending on  the situation. My intent and hopefully yours is to move towards more leadership.


As a frame of reference, leaders love people and inspiring them to be their best selves. Managers tend to like task and control -- things neat. There is nothing "neat" about dealing with people. Including me.


Be the message of love!

Faith not Fear

Apologies for falling off the face of postings.


Fascinating how life gives you what you need for your next level of growth even if we do not want it.


I thought I had this faith stuff down really well. The rest of my life the best.


Then life happens and you go into a spin of fear. The fear you thought you've let behind.


What do I do in fear? I either lash out or shut down. I tend nowadays to shut down knowing NO One deserves my fear attacks.


Which do you do? If you always remain in faith, tips would be greatly appreciated!


I wrote in my latest newsletter you can sign up for at ellencastro.com -- "The Real "F" Word."


Fear.


What would you do if you had no fear of failing or rejection? Go do it!


Face the fear and do it anyway!


Lots of love.
