Enneagram Quiz: How Would You Cross the River?
You can take an Enneagram quiz to help you determine your personality type.
The Enneagram quiz that I’d like to share: How would you cross the river?
There are many online tests but this is a favourite Enneagram quiz of mine. Also, as an update, I’ve benefited so much from the learnings over the years that I have since become an Enneagram Executive Coach accredited with the International Enneagram Association. I now use the Enneagram to help guide others in their personal growth.
If you don’t already know, the Enneagram is an excellent profiling tool. It describes your personality attributes. You can be one of 9 personality types. According to the Enneagram quiz, your personality type influences how you would cross the river.

Tap Away Your Paralysis to Do Work that You Love
“Overthinking a situation can lead to a phenomenon called analysis paralysis which results in no decision being made.”
Find yourself emotionally and mentally paralyzed?
Don’t know which way to go?
Perhaps it is not that you lack options, but you could be contemplating more than one. You have got many wonderful what-if ideas. They have been in the playground of your mind. Each has called out to you until you don’t know which to choose.
Then again, it could all boil down to this: you can’t decide if you are willing to give up a job that you are not passionate about (but which pays you a comfortable salary) for something that you love but which is untested.
You have seen them all. There is plenty of advice of “do what you love” over the internet. You are drawn to the feel-good factor of the advice. A part of you is resonating with its tune. You can’t help wondering if there is something bigger and more than what your office job entails.

10 Lessons About Your Emotional Mind from Inside-Out
“Do you ever look at someone and wonder, what is going on inside their head?” Joy, Inside-Out movie.
Picture: Disney/Pixar
Would you like to meet the voices inside your head that speak to you all day?
Well, find out the identity of these voices and how they drive your behavior by watching the Disney/Pixar movie Inside-Out.
On first glance, it would seem that Inside-Out – being an animated movie – is meant for kids. However, I found it to be great for adults too. I had watched it with my family over the weekend. The movie sheds clever and enlightening insights into the complexities of emotion; in a way that is also touching, fun and charming.

Don’t Die with Your Music Still in You
“Don’t die with your music still in you.” Dr Wayne Dyer
Through the outpouring of tributes, Dr Wayne Dyer’s life is being celebrated by thousands all over the world. He had passed away on August 29, 2015. Still, his music lives on, with many sharing about how their life has been transformed. Since the 1970s, Dr Dyer has been encouraging everyone to take responsibility and step into personal power. His teachings are timeless.
In particular, Dr Dyer taught me about living with meaning, being of higher service, and the power of intention. A few years ago, his words “don’t die with your music still in you” had inspired me to live in greater creative expression. He had also challenged me to higher values such as serving with unconditional love, non-attachment to materialism and to live with true compassion. Dr Dyer is a source of inspired wisdom in the way of the Tao with his book, Living The Wisdom Of The Tao.
“I know that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way.”
Living the Wisdom of the Tao, Dr Wayne Dyer
Dr Dyer had the dream of his movie reaching 3 million people. It was last reported that only 1 million people have watched it. The Shift movie features Dyer, along with Michael DeLuise and Portia de Rossi. He had hoped to share about the “benefits of learning to go from Ambition to Meaning in their life.”
In memory of the Father of Motivation, Dr. Dyer’s movie is being offered for free viewing until September 8, 2015 by his longtime publisher, Hay House. Hay House would like to support Dr Dyer in his dream. And I would like to do the same by blogging and sharing about it too. Click over below while you still have the chance….
There is a place deep within us that wants to feel fulfilled. It wants to know that my life has made a difference. That I had left this place, this planet that I live on, better than when I arrived. That someone’s life has been profoundly touched because of my existence. We all want that. It is not about age, or about finding yourself, wherever you are and whatever age, you are only a thought away from changing your life. – Dr Wayne Dyer, The Shift Movie
May you be inspired to express the music from deep inside your soul and to let your authentic and loving heart touch the lives of others!
In celebration of a life well-lived,

Are You Having Bugs in Your Windshield?
“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.” Henry Ford
Imagine this.
You are driving on the highway, with a destination that you are hoping to reach. Then, bugs started appearing on the windshield of your car. At first, from the corner of your eyes, the bugs appear small.
However, as time goes on, you feel drawn to looking at the bugs more and more. Your eyes will dart back and forth between the windshield and the bugs. You are becoming extremely distracted. In fact, the more you pay attention to some of the bugs, the bigger and more horrific they become.
With bugs on the windshield, you are no longer able to concentrate on the road. Your focus is now on the bugs. You lose sight of where you want to go.
Map to Manifestation: Make a Plan
“If you fail to plan, you plan to fail.” Benjamin Franklin
The last I checked, many of us have some notion of a dream. I believe that the vagueness is partly fogged by our many excuses on why we are unlikely to succeed. We just have too little faith and belief in ourselves. Consequently, we may even procrastinate on making a plan that will help us achieve the success that we dream of. We live in delusion and denial, and ironically get envious when others succeed before us.
There is a popular adage often attributed to Benjamin Franklin, the father of time management, “Failing to plan is planning to fail.” We are contented to sit on our butts and wait for things to happen. However, the reality is that nothing is going to happen if we don’t also take action that moves us forward. Even if we dream of striking the lottery, we will still need to go to the convenience store to buy a lottery ticket. Action needs to take place. While failing to plan may not necessarily result in failure, but it can detract us from becoming more successful.

How to Show Care In Conscious Leadership
“People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” – Theodore Roosevelt
Recently, I was asked to share my secrets to building my essential oil business opportunity. One of my team members wanted to find out how I grew my sales volume. Sales volume had increased by an amazing 100 percent in the first half of this year. She asked me if there was anything special that I did.
For a while, I was stumped by her question. While searching internally for an answer, I tried to recall if I had been using any specific marketing strategy that had a direct impact on results. However, I could not think of any.

Disconnect to Connect and Reconnect
“Disconnect to rediscover the joys in connection.”
Are you spending copious amount of time on Facebook?
Can’t live without a wifi connection?
Can’t imagine days without your handphone or mobile?
It’s a common sight to see people on their handheld devices. In restaurants, family members are in their own separate mobile world even whilst they are seated together. Children are given ipads for their own separate entertainment in dinner sittings. While crossing the traffic junction, people can be texting away on their phones. On buses, I see passengers watching video clips on their mobiles or checking their FB accounts. In fact, sometimes, I find myself straining to see what they are looking at on their handheld devices.
When Mr Right Is Turning Out Wrong
“We waste time looking for the perfect love, instead of creating the perfect love.” Timothy Oliveria
In our dreams, we would like Mr Right to rescue us, read our minds and surprise us with thoughtful gifts every year that we are married.
We are prompted to look for Mr Right. Female magazines share countless advice on how to nab the perfect man. And so, we end up with some vague notion of the perfect life that we are going to lead after marriage. However, we have a rude awakening when reality does not match this ideal dream. Rita Rutner, comedian and actress, said this candidly…
“When I eventually met Mr Right, I had no idea that his first name was Always.”
