Celebrate Good Times! C’mon!

29/6/2018

It’s time to dance! It’s Friday!!

Gratitude is the energy of appreciation that fills ourselves with joy!
Celebration is self-acknowledgment and recognition of our journey together!

I don’t think you need valid reasons to celebrate… but just in case you’re upset about rain in July or any other insignificant problem…

Here are five good reasons to celebrate more often:

Celebration helps us stay in the present and live more fully!
Celebration builds self-respect. Others treat us according to how we treat ourselves.
Celebration gives emotional nourishment.
By celebrating what we focus on expands. Celebration expands more of what you want in your life.
Building confidence is easier with celebration.

And just before I leave for a great 40th birthday party…

“Confidence is knowing exactly what you do well and don’t do well;
arrogance is a way to cover up what you don’t do well.”

Thomas J. Leonard

Focus Mentally

"If you commit to nothing, you're distracted by everything."
James Clear

Give your brain this simple instruction and you’ll see how powerful this order can be in helping you not to wander off and start thinking about… Well, your typical distractions.

‘Now I am going to focus for the next few hours’.

I prefer to say YES

27/6/2018

A very large number of books of management insist that we should say NO more… I’m sure you’ve hear about that: set your priorities, don’t waste time, stay in control.

I’ll try to give you a list of reasons why I think you should say YES more:

Because by saying YES we’re being nice, polite, valuable and kind. The world needs more of these people.
Because by saying YES you can ask for help with more determination.
Because by saying YES you make team work a more probable result.
Because by saying YES you get a chance to learn, to adjust, to get out of your comfort zone, to become more flexible.
Because by saying YES you connect to people.
Because by saying YES you help yourself not to be selfish.
Because by saying YES you become more positive.

What is your favorite answer? YES or NO?

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia.”

ABOUT ME

My name is T. S. Coelho and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, with my husband and three kids. I work in the asset management industry, managing an equities fund.

I decided to start this project in 2014 after realizing that my ‘grey finance world’ needed the color of writing after hours.

The decision on the subject to write about was easy to figure out: I combined the need to figure out how to feel healthy even when I sit for about 50 hours every week to my life dream of social justice – well, in this case it’s more about justice in the office – if talented, hardworking, shy people hide behind their desks, others will take advantage and fill in superior positions with higher rewards, higher recognition and more important than that greater personal fulfillment.

What I try to do here is to provide the means for extremely valuable people to find the confidence they need to succeed and to live a happier life. Enjoy!
