Mother yourself with Kindness and Compassion - A Cinderella Story

Cinderella is my favourite Disney Princess Movie of all time. 

Why?

Despite the trauma of losing both her parents at a young age and being abused by both her stepmother and stepsisters, she remains kind, compassionate and strong completing all her chores with a positive spirit. She finds refuge in fantasy and by dreaming of a better life, she takes great care of those around her who return her favours. She is not even looking for the Prince Charming or for someone to save her, she is waiting for all her dreams to become reality. At the time when she almost lost all hopes after her stepsisters viciously attack her, she materialises a fantasy - the fairy godmother - who washes her tears and make her dream come true: to go to the ball and have a magical experience. At the ball, the prince finds her meandering in the hall and approach her for a dance. 
The dance with the Prince gives her an opportunity to dream furthermore about a complete different life made of love and delight. 
When she comes back to her home, her stepmother notices her day-dreaming dancing and twirling as she remembers her night. The Stepmother do her best to squash her dream by locking her into her room and stop her spirit shine through and bring forth all her desires. When the Prince helpers come to the house to try the shoes, Cinderella takes action to claim her dream with the help of all her spirited friends - so she can come out of the room and show that she has the glass delicate slipper.
The glass slippers are a reminder that as delicate, fragile our dream can be, as long as we walk in their direction, they will eventually come true.

SUCCESS is A TEAM EFFORT

Reading Anna Wintour harsh advice for fashion students resonated with me (click here for full article). I have been working with Sandrine Nyota for now two months. Interestingly, the young designer follow  unconsciously  to the letter Anna Wintour advices and I think they are worth following: STARTING YOUR OWN LINE DOESN’T GUARANTEE SUCCESS Ultimately, this apply to anyone who want to start their own business. Although I will say, success can only be determined by the individual in the driving seat as success for some is different for others. It remains supporting other successes by working for another designer or company can be extremely rewarding as we learn the importance of having a team around us to achieve greater high. Indeed there is not just one road. FOR GOD’S SAKE, FIND SOME GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT Getting a job is just so much more than covering the end of the month, it is also about developing relationships by helping others. At the end, it is a gain ...

Progress Trap

A  progress trap  is the condition human societies experience when, in pursuing  progress  through human ingenuity, they inadvertently introduce problems they do not have the resources or political will to solve, for fear of short-term losses in status, stability or quality of life. ( Wikipedia ) How willing are we to make the necessary changes for our future survival? Looking after ourselves, our health, others, their wellbeing, the planet, its sustainability. Yet, it is so easy to escalate commitment in telling ourselves and others stories which will enhance our status, stability and quality of life. The chase is on against time and oddities. We escape from the unsettling truth that the long term is doomed. Until we burn out - Exhausted from rat race, the running, the short-term goals. Breathe, Slow Down,  Have a nice weekend. And get back in the trap next week.

He was crowned. He could not look behind him neither look forward. He kept looking on a side for more or to see where others were at. So he could put more jewels on his hat. If he could only see the monster feeding on its ambitions. If he could only look at me and see the bird showing us a path to paradise. He could realise i have a flower ready to bloom, it only needs the  sunshine of its gaze for it to blossom. xxx-ooo
