When I consider my own life, I think that for most of it I have criticised myself to the point of no return.  I was always too this or too that, but the truth is that I was perfectly Hayley. How many of us go through life comparing ourselves to others?  Sincerely, it’s like comparing… [Continue Reading]

Today I am not going to be the wisest, the shiniest, the brightest, the most wonderful…today I am going to be the most used, the one that knocks their knees trying, the one that relaxes and lets life dish it up. Today I am just going to breathe and be myself. So if you are… [Continue Reading]

Hayley with Arms Raised

I am all about strategy because when we are strategic we shortcut the time required to reach our destination and we capitalise on our resources.  Call me practical…I can’t help it, I was born this way. My thinking is that if there are two pathways to the same destination and one is direct and the… [Continue Reading]

Busienss Success

Life is not defined by the events that shape us but by our response to those events. Our destiny lies beyond the barrages and the wreckage of our errant decisions; our unwise steps that have faltered. Who we are is defined by our courage, our boldness, our intentions and these are all things of which… [Continue Reading]

Arms raised

I was asked to describe myself…what my strengths are and this is the thought that came to me…that I am the Michael D’Angelo of the Soul. The thing that I love most about the work that I do is that I get the opportunity to work with people and to help them uncover the talents… [Continue Reading]

My Resilience Theme Song for 2012

Sometimes life throws huge hurdles at us but true resilience is when we stand up after being knocked down, ‘rising from the ground like a skyscraper’. There is no person or situation that can destroy us, only we allow ourselves to be destroyed. From every difficult situation, if there is still breath in our lungs,… [Continue Reading]

Hayley’s Wisdom

Loving Who You are NOW!

When I consider my own life, I think that for most of it I have criticised myself to the point of no return.  I was always too this or too that, but the truth is that I was perfectly Hayley. How many of us go through life comparing ourselves to others?  Sincerely, it's like comparing an orange with an apple.  We are all so very uniquely crafted and that is the complete wonder and beauty of life - we are perfectly ourselves. And as we are journeying and rubbing shoulders with others, we are responding to their perceptions, their expectations and their beliefs, but we still remain perfectly ourselves.  For sure we might adopt other's thinking as we choose, but we are still the ones who choose.  What a liberating thought! So as you are journeying through life, my suggestion is that you start to really appreciate yourself just how you are NOW!  Not when you lose weight, grow your hair, change your teeth, get a higher education, meet the right person or land the right job. … [Read More...]

Enjoying the journey…

Today I am not going to be the wisest, the shiniest, the brightest, the most wonderful...today I am going to be the most used, the one that knocks their knees trying, the one that relaxes and lets life dish it up. Today I am just going to breathe and be myself. So if you are looking for perfection, today is not the right day to look in my direction. Feel the FREEDOM! Today I am not going to run from the rain, wind up the windows in the car so the wind doesn't mess my hair or tell my children off for interrupting me cause I'm "working". I have decided that life is way too short and that there is so much pressure to be the perfect person, living the perfect life, in the perfect family, in the perfect house, in the perfect suburb, driving the perfect car, full of perfectly behaved children and partners. BLAH! Life is for living, for tasting, for experiencing in all of it's glory and gore. So while others are perfecting their illusion of having it all together, today I am … [Read More...]

Hayley’s Writing

No Place Like Home

Our lives are like a composite piece of art…

  You probably do not realise it but each of these pictures is a collage of more than three images layered to create one. Like our lives, each layer adds some depth, some colour or some texture to the overall effect. Without even one of the layers the image would not be the same. How many situations in life do we go through that are dark? These are our contrasting moments, our opportunities to grow, to learn and to expand our understanding. Without them our vision of life would not be … [Read More...]

Common Ground

When you are young, life is simple You know everything You are willing to try it all And rules were made to be broken But as you get older, life is more complex You realise how little you know You are less willing to try new things And rules take on real meaning because they keep you safe Wouldn't it be great if there was a middle road Where risk taking was okay But rules were respected And knowledge simply shared and valued … [Read More...]
