Uncover Your Purpose . . .
July 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
If you (or someone you know) is still “looking for your purpose”, consider attending (or referring to) the Implicit Career Search offered monthly at Stepping Stones Consulting! For eligibility requirements, go to: ICS Workshop Eligibility
Below is a sample of the type of testimonial received by Jim Niemi consistently over the past 16 years that he has been delivering this Workshop.
“Dear Jim, I was feeling lost, without direction and without purpose, doors were closing but then a huge window opened for me, the opportunity to participate in the Implicit Career Search at Stepping Stones Consulting. For me, this program was not just about finding a job, it was about finding “me”, listening to my inner self, knowing my own truth and making choices that best suit my own needs. It was an incredible journey of self discovery that everyone should take. We should all be so lucky to uncover our own purpose and feel the elation when that “AH HA” moment hits. I took the course 7 months ago and ever since, have been employed full time in the most satisfying job I have ever had, in fact it so suits who I am that it doesn’t even feel like a job. Thank you everyone at Stepping Stones for your guidance and a wonderful experience.” Sincerely, Loretta S.
If the opportunity is showing itself to you ~ now is the time to TAKE ACTION!
Got change?

Wisdom from Guy Finley ~ “If life seems like a grind, it’s only because we’re following around the same level of thinking that makes it so. Blaming outside circumstances for trapping us in a rut is like blaming the television for the boredom we feel while sitting watching nothing but reruns.
It’s time to break our ties with anything in us that would rather complain about its situation than go to work to change it.
The first step to breaking out of any rut in life is to no longer enable the parts of us that keep walking in them while wishing they weren’t so deep! Learning to watch our own thoughts and feelings — to be quietly attentive to what the mind is attending to in each moment — ensures that we won’t fall into these ditches, because our heightened level of attention keeps them from being dug! For encouragement along the way, just notice how, each time you bring your attention into the present moment, it’s you who gets the gift of being made new. That’s the way it works.”
Quiet Your Mind For Clarity . . .

Happiness . . .

“If someone doesn’t have a smile, give them one of yours!” What a brilliant idea!
Here is a quote by Denis Waitley: “Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.”

Congratulations, Bonnie!

Stepping Stones Consulting would like to congratulate Bonnie Thomas on her new position as Project Coordinator for the Mary Thomas Cultural Centre and Heritage Sanctuary. To know more about the centre and the many projects Bonnie will be coordinating, here is their website and Bonnie’s new email:
www.switzmalph.com and bonnie@switzmalph.com
Bonnie has worked with Stepping Stones for the past 4 years as a Coach/Mentor and her ability to connect with people at a genuine caring level will surely be missed. An offspring of the late Dr. Mary Thomas who was known as “Momma Bear” in her community, Bonnie is toted as being “Baby Bear” being the youngest daughter and having a kindred interest in keeping Mary’s legacy and vision alive. Bonnie’s passion for building community one person at a time will make her a great leader in her new role and we look forward to working with her on future projects. Bonnie has definitely left her Baby Bear’s imprint with us here at Stepping Stones! The next time you see Bonnie . . . give her a big bear hug!

The journey continues . . .

Something to think about ~ from Higher Awareness
“All of the great masters counsel that we need time daily for solitude. And if we want our journey in life to be meaningful, then surely we need some free time each day to explore our inner landscapes and uncover our passions. What activities can you cut out of your life to give you more growing room?”
