Treating The Whole Person

Treat the whole person, professionally, personally, and politically has been a constant message I have heard and kept in my head for many years. Many workshops such as Dress For Success which is often mentioned, Briggs-Meyers test for who you are and how best you can work within a team concept to, the "Lipstick" Test...the list is endless.

When one embarks on a new life path or a new path is forced upon them, it is stressful and unsettling. On the other hand, it could be potentially exciting with an opportunity to fulfill one's dreams. Some have forged onward and no matter the outcome have discovered that there is always growth and a new learning curve. Change and transition require risk. Women In Transition applauds all who are pursuing the unknown and the uncharted- be it be personal or professional.

 Budgets, self-esteem, self-efficiency are all important. May those in transition seek out Women's organization for support and mentoring to reach their goals. You must continue to learn and grow. Be true to your self first and the "who you are a picture" will shine through to others.

Here are some reflections and inspirational quotes by a few who chose the "road not traveled"

"You must do something you think you cannot do" Eleanor Roosevelt

"May the bridges I burn light the way." "In a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing  vessels is more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks"- Warren Buffet

"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein " - Life's Little Instruction Book

"One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching." Unknown

"If today was the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"-Steve Jobs
