Helpful Tips

* Stay away from invalidating people and people who insist we use their ideas.
* Try to find supportive validating people who keep their ego out of it and truly want to help us realize OUR goals without being directors who real-ize theirs.
* Take one step at a time. Don't allow ourselves to become overwhelmed by looking at how "little" we've done. Focus on our GROWTH instead of lack of it.
* Never give away our power of decision to others. Always listen to OUR hearts - not our or other's fears.
* Nip negative thinking in the bud. Focus on SOLUTIONS instead of problems. This will keep us CREATIVELY focused.
* Always honor our innate INGENUITY & RESOUCEFULNESS.
* Ponder and reflect only on GROWTH - Not lack of it. See grass - not soil.
* Hold the vision - not the failure.
* Find supporting groups and individuals. Encouragement is a great fertilizer for growth!
