I feel comfortable in my own skin and on reflection I always have. 😊 Like this photo of me standing confidently, I have a photo of me when I was about 3 years old standing in the same confident manner. 💪 That’s not to say, I haven’t felt shy about doing or saying certain things especially when I was younger. I was a very quiet kid and a bit of a loner. However, I’d go off and do stuff because I wanted to give it a go. 🏃♀️ I never considered asking anyone if it was alright to do it, I’d simply go ahead and do it. 💥 And that’s the thing! 💡 So many people are worried and therefore crippled from doing things because of what people will think of them. 🚫 Don’t worry about what other people will think of you! In fact, stop listening to them! 🙉 They are holding you back because they don’t know what you are capable of or they don’t want you to achieve success. ❌ If you listen to them, then you are holding yourself back! ✋ The amount of times I’ve heard people say you can’t do that or that’s not going to work! ❌ I’ll pause and consider it and then generally I’ll do it anyway because I know I can do it or it is going to work. Hey, at least I’m having a go and that’s the main thing! 👍 I guess it’s what they call ‘self-awareness’ and it’s an important attribute to possess. 🌟 I read the other day about developing a ‘personal philosophy’ for yourself. 📖 I guess it’s also similar to what they call finding your ‘North Star’. 🧭 That’s a couple of words or a short phrase which sums up your basic beliefs and values. Write it down and look at it numerous times a day or simply commit it to memory and think it or even say it out loud to yourself. If you’re having not such a good day, this can help you to think more positively and lift your spirits. ☀️ So how is your self-awareness? Do you have a go regardless of others' opinions or do you worry about what people think of you? 🤔 And remember, Live Your Life Now ✨ #PauletteSteele #RealWorkLifeBalance #Liveyourlifenow #PersonalGrowth #PositiveMindset

Someone asked me a while back when did I get into ⚡ Personal Development.  I had to think for a while and then it occurred to me it's been a part of my life for many years. It's how I live ⭐ I simply hadn't put a name to it. Now that I work in the Personal Development sector, I totally live and breathe it and it's the best thing I could have done to create the life that I want. 🌞 How about you? 🤗 What do you get out of it most?  📌 Is it expanding your knowledge, skills, and abilities? 📌 Is it working on your personal goals and becoming a better version of yourself? 📌 Do you focus on your mental and physical health, emotional balance, and overall well being? 📌 Or is it about finding true meaning in your life and achieving personal satisfaction? I know you’re thinking it encompasses many or all of these things. However, what’s the #1 thing for you in #personaldevelopment? 🔑 Pick one and let's say the results in one week's time! #RealWorkLifeBalance #selfimprovement #positivemindset #PauletteSteele

A little wisdom from singer and songwriter Bob Dylan's father: “Even if you don’t have all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don’t have that you don’t want.” ✨  This simple yet profound statement reminds us of the importance of perspective. 🌍 We tend to think only about what we want to have rather than appreciating what we already have. 🎁 The quote also implies that comparing ourselves to others is counterproductive. It's about finding contentment within our own life, rather than seeking validation through material possessions or external achievements. 💪 There are several ways to apply this in a practical method: ⭐ Mindfulness: Practice being present and aware of what you have.🧘♀️ ⭐ Gratitude Journaling: Regularly list things you're thankful for.📝 ⭐ Helping Others: Volunteer or perform acts of kindness to shift focus from your personal wants.🤝 ⭐ Setting Realistic Expectations: Avoid comparing your life to idealized versions presented on social media or elsewhere.🚫 Essentially, this quote is a reminder to find joy and fulfillment in the present moment, rather than constantly chasing after what's missing. It encourages a shift in perspective from scarcity to abundance, and from comparison to contentment. 😊 Let's shift the focus from scarcity to abundance! What are you grateful for today? 👇 #PauletteSteele #RealWorkLifeBalance #Liveyourlifenow #gratitude #mindfulness 

I believe that I wouldn’t be who I am today if it hadn’t been for the experiences I’ve had in life. 💥 That’s why this quote from actor/author Drew Barrymore resonates with me so strongly…. “I never regret anything. Because every little detail of your life is what made you into who you are in the end.” ⭐ I watched a documentary the other day that was titled No Regrets? and people gave their comments on things they’d done and said in their lives that they regretted. There was only one lady who said she had no regrets. I was all for the woman who didn’t have any regrets. 💪 Yet, as I listened to her, she mentioned regretting things however she had chosen not to dwell on them and move forward with her life. That’s when I had my lightbulb moment!! 💡 We all have regrets, it’s how much we let them control our lives. That’s the important thing to consider.⭐ As much as occasionally I may think about things I could have done better, I don’t dwell on them. And that’s the key! 🔑 It’s done, I can’t change anything, so what’s the point of pouring over the past and thinking ‘If only I had’. 📐 Regret is a negative emotion and I am about being positive. ⭐ We can’t get stuck in our past. We need to concentrate on now and the future as that’s where we’ll make a difference in our lives. 🚀 So don’t let regrets hold you back from living your life. Is there anything stopping you from moving forward with your life? #LiveYourLifeNow #PauletteSteele #RealWorkLifeBalance #NoRegrets #PositveMindset

Here is a remarkable success story! One I want to share with you. The 21 year old young man in the photo with his dog is Sam Hughes (AKA The Travelling Jackaroo) and yesterday he returned to his home town of Maleny, Queensland, Australia, after setting off 3 1/2 years ago to travel around Australia. 🚜 His purpose was to raise money 💰 for his 3 favourite charities - Royal Flying Doctors Service, Dolly's Dream & Drought Angels (now Farm Angels). Sam ended up raising over $250,000! 💰 He circumnavigated Australia in the old Chamberlain tractor you see in the photo's background towing a massive trailer that was his home and stored various equipment. He set a world record of 28,000 kms in a tractor and it had a top speed of 35kph. 🚜 Sam was welcomed home on Sunday as a local hero which he so deserves. 🎖 With all the people he met around the country and the various jobs he did at times to keep him travelling, Sam has grown so much and is a much wiser person than the 18 year old lad who left Maleny on his journey. Imagine the idea of doing a journey like this in an ancient tractor? 🚜 It was originally supposed to be a one year journey however it became so much more than that. The time it took became irrelevant. It was the journey itself that became so important and the learnings gained. 🌈 He gained a massive following of 265,000 people from around the world 🌏 on his Facebook page The Travelling Jackaroo. His journey has had an incredibly positive effect on so many people as this affable 'down to earth' young Aussie guy posted about the places he went, the people he met etc. 😊 This is a story about living your life now! ⭐ #LiveYourLifeNow #PauletteSteele #RealWorkLifeBalance #personalgrowth #lifejourney

Is risk a necessity for the soul? 🤔 I admit I am a risk taker! If it looks or sounds like a good idea, I’ll jump in without giving a great deal of thought sometimes to the consequences. Our souls crave growth, adventure, and the thrill of the unknown. Taking calculated risks can ignite a fire within us, propelling us towards new heights and experiences 💥 and that’s what I love about taking risks. While fear of failure often holds us back, embracing uncertainty can lead to extraordinary breakthroughs. It's about finding that delicate balance between caution and courage. ⚖️ Let's inspire each other to step out of our comfort zones and embrace the journey! 🚀 What risks have you taken that have enriched your life?

How well do you know yourself? Sounds like a silly question doesn't it? 🔎 Maybe it's time to explore and see who we really are. Our values, our intentions........ Recently, I've been reflecting on these and I know that very high up in my list of values is honesty and being genuine. ✅ I am who I am and I never pretend to be anything else and I expect others to be the same. Unfortunately, not everyone is. I've been told over the years that I am very independent and stubborn. Some have meant it in a good way and others haven't. I love that I'm independent and stubborn as I don't give up. 🚀 That's why one of my favourite sayings is "Have a go"! That's why I love these words ⭐ "If you're not willing to help yourself, no one else can help you. If you're determined to learn and improve yourself, no one can stop you." ⭐ Do you know what your top value is? Think about it and let me know. 😊 This is the power of personal development - reflecting on ourselves and being honest with who we are....... 💯 Live your Life Now! ⭐ #PauletteSteele #RealWorkLifeBalance #personalvalues #personalintentions #mindset
