South Africa is a gawky 16 year old with an amazing opportunity in 2010 to showcase ourselves to the world.  Most 16 year olds are facing the question of what they want to be when they grow up and for South Africa, as a country, the dilemma is no different.

As a Fairy Godmother helping individuals and companies to get clear on their dreams, goals and visions; I am very cognisant that we have not defined a clear vision for South Africa post 2010 or certainly not one that I, as a South African Citizen, am aware of.  And without a clear vision that can be translated between government, business, civil society and the average man on the street we are in danger of running around like a chicken with its head chopped off.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup has given us a goal as a nation – it has provided the impetus to invest in much needed infrastructure such as roads, it has created jobs and is a brilliant marketing tool for this country to catapult our tourism to even greater levels.  As we herald in the New Year the country is experiencing the positivity, upliftment and energy that comes with  reaching a goal. 2010 is a great year for South Africa, people are saying.

But what vision do we have for this country post 2010?

What is our vision in the areas of education, health, safety, economics, the environment, poverty alleviation etc. etc. etc?

You may think that vision-making and setting goals for this country should be done by the government or big business or other people.  Just not you, right? You may think that coming up with a Vision for South Africa is not your responsibility but if the leadership of this country isn’t going to do it, who will?

In my work as a Fairy Godmother I know that if you defer responsibility in an area of your life, you give up your power and others then determine the outcome in that area. In other words if you don’t have clear direction and goals then you merely float down the river of life reacting to circumstances rather than PROACTIVELY moving in the right direction.

It is the same with a country, at the moment South Africa is a reactive country rather than a proactive one.

Here is a beautiful little picture by one of my favourite illustrators, Edward Monkton – which describes the situation that we find ourselves in perfectly.

Whoever begins to shout the loudest and show some semblance of leadership and vision will attract followers.  One of the people shouting the loudest at the moment is Mr Malema.  Do you want to live in a South Africa in 2020 that has been created out of Julius’s head? Or how about living in the SACP’s vision of South Africa?  Wouldn’t it be better to live in the vision that you have in your head of South Africa in 2020?

We all have best case and worst case scenarios for this country running through our minds, yet we are more likely to bemoan the probability of doom-and-gloom and blame others than actually begin active discussions about a powerful and positive future.

So today, I am taking a stand to be a responsible and active citizen of this country.  As a person who regularly helps individuals and companies create vision, I pledge my skills to this country.

I am responsible for helping to create the vision of this beautiful land that I love and I am starting to do that by creating a Facebook Group called South Africa 2020 where we all as active citizens can begin to dialogue about our POSITIVE and powerful visions and goals for this country and how they can be activated.

Welcome to a PHENOMAL year ahead!

Do you feel a sense of fresh newness?

The amazing expansive and refreshing sense that ANYTHING is possible?
The feeling that the slate has been wiped clean and you can create wonderful things this year and really create the life you love?

It is a human trait to start a new year off with the emotions of possibility, inspiration and fresh energy.  As the clock ticked over from 31 December into 1 January 2010 it is as if a switch was flicked and it brang a new zest for life.

Have you ever experienced that by March or April your energy has waned, the feeling of extraordinary possibility has dwindled and you are back in the normal hum-drum of everyday life?  By the middle of the year it feels like this year may not be so different after all and by October you can’t wait for those holidays and for the start of the next year. Sound familiar?

To make 2010 a different experience where you create a marvellous year ahead, I have a Fairy Godmother gift to you.  A free 21 minute Audio Download on how to create 2010 to be your best year yet!

For those of you in Johannesburg – join me for a 2 hour Possibility Evening on Monday 18th January from 19h30 -21h30 in Rivonia for a 2 hour session where I will lead you through the process of creating your Intentions and Goals for 2010.   To book email: info@fairygodmotherinc.com or for  More Info

The power of dreams and goals to create your life is immense… so whatever you do, make sure you write down your goals for 2010 and keep focusing on them.

Wishing you a SUPER DUPER 2010!

The end of the year is a natural time to sit back and reflect on the past year (or even decade) and to take the lessons from 2009 with us into 2010 to ensure that we grow, prosper and thrive.

Most people don’t give the REFLECTION process the necessary time to receive the POWER, benefit and impact of the process.

Why is Reflection so powerful?

To be a really effective human being, reflection is one of the key processes that you should be regularly engaging in.

The reflection process is

THINK        then        ACT        then        REFLECT   then

THINK        then        ACT        then        REFLECT

And so it repeats.

We live in the modern era that venerates thinking and acting but because we feel so time-starved due to all our ‘doing’ we spend very little time reflecting.  We live in the “do-do-do” world – where we are so busy being busy that we often don’t know what we were so busy being busy about!

But the learning lies only in Reflection like a piece of gold waiting to be discovered in a treasure chest.  It is in reflection that we comprehend what works and what isn’t working in our lives.  It is only through reflection that we can break the negative patterns and cycles that we get into.

Two weeks ago, I did a Possibility Evening on the topic of The Power of Reflection and over 2 hours I waved my wand and took people through the reflection process and wow, it was transformational for many of the people in the room.  Realizations and learning popped like popcorn in the room and the participants discovered the golden nugget lessons that the Universe had given them in 2009.

So if you would like to do the same process….  Get your notebook or dream journal out and get ready to write…

Consider 2009 from the beginning of the year and month-by-month write down the following

• Keywords for key events and experiences in that month
• Lessons learned during that month

Eg.

January

New years in Argentina.  Finished first draft of book. Met Matias the gorgeous Mountain Man. Buenos Aires.   Workshops.  Launched Growing Wings.

Lessons Learned
Being in flow and surrender
Allowing creativity to come out whenever and however it wanted
The power of feminine energy in creation

November

Ballito.  Help Michelle with Art Project.  Great Money Magic Talk. Car Accident.
Birthday. Got Pneumonia. In bed.

Lessons Learned
Slow down
Be kind and gentle to myself and others
Am I doing things out of fear or faith?

Now go back through your whole year and consider the things that you are unhappy about or the things that cause you pain, anxiety or stress.   Write down these events and then write down the blessing that came from this event or the reason why you are grateful that this event actually happened to you.

Eg.
Car Accident
Was a blessing because it made me realise that I am vulnerable and mortal and that I need to be more careful with myself, instead of just rushing through life pretending I’m super woman. It made me slow down.

If you can find the blessing and be grateful for every experience that you perceived negatively in your year, you ‘neutralise’ the effect of that event and you learn the lesson from it.   This means that the Universe does not need to send you the lesson again in another form.

Once you have done this exercise then consider and answer the following questions…

What have been your Key Successes in 2009?

What has not worked in 2009?

What do you want to leave behind in 2009?

What do you want to take into 2010 with you?

Once you have written down the answers to all these questions.  Summarise the key lessons into 2 or 3 points for you to remember in 2010.   Then write these 3 or 4 points onto a card and keep this card in your bag or wallet.

Eg.  Mine for 2010 are

1.    Be Kind and Gentle – to myself, to other and to the Earth.
2.    Keep it simple
3.    Am I doing things out of a feeling of faith or fear?
4.    I am not my work

Spending an hour or two doing this process of reflection will create a very powerful platform for you for 2010.  At the beginning of 2010 I will be posting with tips and tricks on how to make 2010 a phenomenal year!

Would love to hear your comments about what realisations have come out of this process for you… comment below…
