 I know it. You know it. We really don’t like to ask for help. This week I’ve gathered a few thoughts from some savvy ladies on why we don’t ask for help, what not asking for help costs us, and how asking for help can actually be an amazing act of generosity. Lately I’ve been noticing a bunch of savvy women talking about how it’s really the ordinary moments that make their lives extraordinary – it thrilled me so much I just had to share!  When asked if I was going to read A Pressure Cooker Saved My Life by Juanita Phillips I thought, “Oh no, not another book by an overachieving woman determined to share all her ‘secrets to success’.” My own harsh judgment convinced me to give it a go and this is what I found…  When I was recently invited to a business breakfast featuring Layne Beachley as the guest speaker, I didn’t jump at the chance. To be honest, despite reading and watching a few profile pieces, I’d never “warmed” to Layne. Yet, in the end, it was a wonderful opportunity for learning, connecting and growing. I love connecting with information that shines a light on how we live and what’s important to us, looking into the experience of others and gaining a deeper insight into my own life. What seems to have caught my attention this week is strong, insightful women who are willing to ‘throw open the door’ and see what comes of questioning, to push out to the boundaries of what’s already know, and to leap into the cold, clear air and trust you can work out the rest. Savvy to the extreme! The 5 steps of living savvy are: Ask, Do, Discover, Commit & Celebrate.

She reflects on the first 50 odd years of her life spent chasing big achievements and fulfilling other’s expectations… She realised, “I was always scrambling to live up to the myth, always worried others would think I wasn’t fulfilling my role… But we’re entitled to our own lives, our own dreams and goals, our own legacies.” The 5 steps of living savvy are: Ask, Do, Discover, Commit & Celebrate.

Here’s what caught my eye (and mind!) recently…  I’ve always loved a good story. But what qualifies as ‘good’? For me, just about anything that shines a light on how we live, why we do the things we do, and what’s important to us. Story telling is a magical gateway through which we can connect with others (including fictional others!), and emerge educated, enriched and perhaps even a little enlightened. |
