Inspirational Quote - Hallie Crawford

Inspirational Quote A friend sent this to me last week. Interesting is a nice way of saying it right ?? Challenges are what makes life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful. Josh J. Marine Remember to turn your issues or worries into challenges or problems to be solved instead of mulling over them ad nauseum. Worrying doesnt help. And we tend to worry about the wrong things anyway. When youre worrying, ask yourself What do I need to do about this? Then get cracking on it. Happy Monday, Hallie career consulting Inspirational Quote This quote is a little sassy and in your face…I like that Dont take yourself so seriously. No one else does. I chose this because Ive been thinking lately about not getting so worked up about the little things. I can get upset about little frustrations, just like anyone else does. But when I look back on these issues a week later, even just a few hours later sometimes, I wonder why I got so worked up. What good does getting worked up do? Not a whole lot to be honest. And I realize that often, I just need to take myself less seriously and remember that things will work out. They almost always do. So where do you take yourself too seriously? And how can you lighten up a little, realizing that in the scheme of things, these small things dont matter so much anyway? Happy Monday!

Ralph Waldo Emerson I first read this quote at the Martin Luther King Center here in Atlanta. Trusting myself and my instincts was something I was struggling with at the time so it hit me like a brick. (In a good way of course :)) Theres a mental image in my mind of how it felt to stand there and read that, where it was located in the museum, and what the quote looked like. Arent life-altering events always like that?! We can remember every detail of those but sometimes forget our home phone number. MLK was a hero. He trusted his instincts. On top of that, he was courageous enough to express his beliefs and take a stand for them. Today and this week I encourage you to follow his example in your own way. Do you trust yourself? Take a moment to think about this…and be honest. My journey to self-trust (which continues today) began with learning who I am, what my values and priorities are, and accepting myself with all my imperfections. Becoming clear about what is important to me in life enabled me to make clearer decisions, and trust those decisions. The more Ive learned to listen to my intuition and trust it, the smoother things have gone for me. Im here to help you do the same-identify your priorities, know what you want your life and career to be about, and listen to your intuition. I am passionate about doing so because Ive been there. I know how it feels to be lost and not trust myself. Feel free to read more about the Unlocking Your Purpose teleclass coming up next week. Years ago it helped me learn to trust myself and gain clarity about who I was and what I wanted in life. Im grateful to be able to lead this class myself now, because of how life-changing it was for me. Warmly, Hallie Career Transition Coach Inspirational Quote In a recent blog post I asked, “What is the impact you have on those in your life? And what’s the impact you want to have?” I think this inspirational quote answers that question for all of us: “Be the person you want others to see you as.” Sometimes we need to be reminded that life isn’t all about doing … doing … doing. It’s important to just “be.” Enjoy the journey! Have fun! Take risks! Be the person you want to be! When you become the person you want to be, you are much more likely to achieve your goals. Why? Because you are more in alignment with the things you really want in life. We are integrated beings, so everything affects everything. As you prepare for 2007, ask yourself: Who is the person I really want to be? What is the purpose and mission statement for my life? What are the traits in me that I would like to cultivate? What are the habits I would rather leave behind? How can I commit to being that person? Let me help you in this experience of discovering who you want to be.

We went to an outdoor festival and I stayed out longer than I have in a while. (I tend to have a short attention span with these things.) The outdoor party was fun except there was a chilly breeze blowing through Piedmont Park here in the A-T-L. At the Park Tavern off of Piedmont Park, they hosted a green mashed potato eating contest pretty funny I must say. Another fun thing happened to me over the weekend. I was flattered to be mentioned in the Brazen Careerist Coachology: Creating a path through your twenties. For you young adults out there, she has some good tips for creating a path through your twenties so check it out.
