We often seek the truth and pride ourselves on being honest. However, we sometimes adjust the truth to avoid discomfort. Accountability in solitude has empowered me to cultivate inner confidence and self-belief. Acknowledging my mistakes with kindness allows me to learn and grow. Critiquing oneself drains our energy. While the mind tends to criticize, the key is to transcend negative thoughts and embrace our authentic selves. Each individual holds their own truth. Taking ownership of our actions, choices, and errors fosters unwavering self-assurance. Imagine how our children would thrive when parents and teachers let go of pride and become self accountable. #moodmunchers #accountable #selfdevelopment #growth #truth #awareness #consciousness #consciousparenting #parentinggoals #goals #pride #honesty #bealeader

Children are keen observers, often absorbing lessons from our actions rather than our words. To instill positive values, it’s essential to lead by example. When we model kindness, respect, and integrity, we teach them far more than words alone can convey. By embodying the qualities we hope to see in them, we become the role models they look up to, shaping their character and behavior in meaningful ways. 👉🏾 [email protected] 👉🏾 @positiveoutcomes77 👉🏾 @dorinetakusi #LeadByExample #RoleModel #ParentingWisdom #ActionsSpeakLouder #RaisingKindKids #DrDorineTakusi #CoachDorine #DorineTakusi #PositiveOutcomes #Transformation #MindsetShift #SpiritualGrowth

Sometimes we hold a high bar, and we need to give others a little more wiggle room. We may decide this is how something is done, and when those we work with, live with or hang out with, don’t do it this way, they are doing it the wrong way. Expanding our ideas about how to do things can be very fruitful. This first of which is allowing others to contribute, as well as, developing new ways to do things better than they were done before. If we stop thinking that we have all the answers and let others, as well as, our higher guidance intervene, we will find many more solutions to the problems that exist in our lives. Whether it is with your employees or your spouse, give others a little more room to grow. This may mean letting them make mistakes and learning from them. Everyone benefits when one person learns something new. And don’t forget to apply this same principle to yourself. You don’t have to be right or get it right all the time, you just have to be willing to learn and apply those lessons to become better than you used to be. #JenaiLane #Mysticism #SpiritualTeacher #LifePurpose #Grounding #Visionary #Praying #Empath #Mystic #HigherSelf

I used to think I had patience figured out. And by figured out I mean, ‘not my thing.’ Then, I became a dad. Patience became the most critical (and difficult) skill for me. It didn't help that I had the definition wrong. It is not about waiting. It’s about understanding that growth, connection, and trust take time. In my professional life, I’m driven by timelines, metrics, and outcomes. But at home, with my kids, it’s a different kind of journey. Teaching my son to ride a bike, helping them get dressed, or even just explaining why we can’t have ice cream for breakfast – these moments have taught me to slow down and be present. This patience has transformed my approach to leadership. I listen to understand and empathize and give others room to grow at their own pace. I’ve realized that, just like with our kids, creating a supportive space is what truly brings out the best in people. Fatherhood has a way of teaching lessons in the must humbling of ways. If you’re a parent who’s found this connection between patience at home and work, I’d love to hear your experiences in the comments below #Leadership #Patience #Fatherhood #Empathy #GrowthMindset #parenting

An interesting study in the US says that PRAISING a persons CHARACTER rather than praising only a certain BEHAVIOUR has a more LONG LASTING EFFECT . a simple example is : while praising a child for a drawing you liked , instead of saying the picture is creative , consider saying instead , “ you are creative” . Why this helps in a more LONG LASTING IMPACT is because When our character is praised , we tend to INTERNALISE IT AS A PART OF OUR IDENTITY . And , therefore , Instead of seeing ourselves doing some isolated good deeds / acts , we start to develop a more UNIFIED SELF - CONCEPT towards developing our moral character .

A really helpful metaphor all about perceptions. Sometimes our own self-perception can be the shadow: faulty thinking and negative voices can create an internal reputation' laced with self-judgement that can hold us back. True character, I feel, is being able to challenge our inner-monologue with evidence of our true character so both are aligned. Of course, this requires a high level of self-awareness. Many young people need support with this as they work out who they are and manage their own inner-monologues. They are competing with challenging peer pressure and toxic elements of social media that can chip away at their own confidence and positive perception of themselves. I love supporting our young to build positive narratives about themselves that allow them to grow to greater things. They need a safe space, time and support to reflect on who they are and what they can do to become the very best version of themselves. I believe coaching is the perfect forum for this! #yourownanswers #betterideas #coaching #confidence #courage #coachingfordads #coachingforlearning #coachingforfathers #growth #help #integrity #coachingforleadership #listening #honestconversations #coachingforparents #elements #question #reflection #listening #resilience #safespace #coachingforstudents #coachinginschools #coachingforteenagers #thinking #skills #qualities #coachingforyoungperson

It is always a choice. When you do the inner work you discover your authentic voice and your truth. With this awareness you may discover that the narratives you inherited from your parents do not serve you, they are falsehoods. Inner knowing and wisdom allow you to let go of these narratives. It is not being disloyal, rather a grounded adult making a decision to let go of what does not serve. Loyalty is one of my values; but I realised that some of my inherited narratives were against my values and were keeping me stuck. With this understanding it was my choice to let go and create narratives to serve my journey. When we break the bond of inherited narratives we empower ourselves and our children to change the way we live our lives. We end generations of limiting beliefs and claim back our individual rights and power. I want my son and the children I work with to be confident and free to make their own decisions and pave their way to discover their own journey. This means that I do the inner work and in awareness stop projecting my desires onto them. What are you letting go so you can empower children and the next generation? #moodmunchers #empowerment #lettinggo #narratives #choice #inheritednarratives #breakthecycle #awareness #mindfulness #innerwork #journey #lifechoices #selfbelief #selfworth #success #education #leaders #teachers #parenting #parents

First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do. Concentrate on your strengths, instead of your weaknesses. On your powers, instead of your problems. #motivation #strength #weaknessess #power #believe #trust #youth #mission #goal #vision #fyp #foryou #explore #instagood #instadaily #instagram #followforfollowback
