Have you carried out your inner life audit and asked yourself the following questions?

Who am I?
Where do I come from?
Where am I going?.

Sharon Eden jumped off the front page yesterday with her invite –
Business : Wanna Be In My Gang?. I have been encouraging my network to become pro active with their contacts. So having read Sharon’s masterpiece, I picked up the phone to speak to the author of this powerful topic I had already identified with.

This was where I came from ….

“I am sick to death with women who play themselves small. Who have allowed the conditioning of their culture and time to make them ‘polite’ and neutered. And those who, sometimes, are almost apologetic to be ‘woman’ in our male dominated professions, organisations and world”.

Constantly being told as a young girl that we were “meant to be seen and not heard”. Watched while my parents scraped every penny to support my brother to become the globe trotting doctor he was. Watched along the side lines, while so many top male college athletes won centre stage in every race. Brow beaten in the early days of working in a male dominated corporate industry by Managers, who would remind you of how insigniicant you were to the multi million dollar ‘bigger picture’.

And yet the following paragraph Sharon wrote, resonated so much more for me.
“Women’s leadership is imperative for the very wellbeing and future of humankind. and another .. Identify with your own Sophia-ness, as best befits your individuality, and bring her fearlessly to the table”.

Jean-Marie Dilleman, psychotherapist says “in an era that favours productivity, effectiveness and action, it is essential to nurture our inner life. This part of ourselves is nourished in silence, stripped of desire and action”.

Raising steam!.

I celebrated this sand storm by enjoying a soak in bubbles, while looking deeply into my motivations, strengths (or, weaknesess) fantasies and longings. Scary stuff for some. But it allows us to make contact with our inner guide. Taking some time for our silence gives us a chance to hear the responses that emerge from the very heart of our our being.

Dr.Das signature reads “Let’s connect for a better tomorrow” I would add “Let’s connect for a better Now!!”.

So where are you going?.
