Happy Manifesting

It's funny but I just did this a few weeks ago. At first I thought I was crazy, asking for a raise in this economy!! But the company is doing well inspite the bad economy and I've been working extra hard more so because we are short staffed and it doesn't look like we will get any additional help anytime soon. I obtained my certification earlier this year and is supposed to get a raise but I didn't want to automatically assume it so I decided to have a meeting with my boss to ensure he was aware of my expectations and plus, I deserve it. Then I found this article on the Little Pink Book and I guess I was right on target. Kind of wish I would have found it before I had my meeting for added tips but after reading it, I unconsciously did everything the author suggested. I've attached it below in case you are contemplating the same. So, we'll see come March if my strategy worked. Asking is Free Want a raise? You'll have to ask for it. By Taylor Mallory Su

Don't Step Out Of Your Comfort Zone, Expand It Often, we are told that if we want to do something new, we must step out of our comfort zone. Stepping out of our comfort zone certainly will assist us with doing something new.

The expanded zone is where we will be comfortable. This creates greater opportunity for growth, learning, and perso

Born Gifted When we think of people who were born gifted, we most often think of famous people, artists or world leaders. They are definitely gifted, but I have a surprise for you. You, too, are gifted. We are all born gifted and it really doesn't matter what gifts we were born with. What matters most is what we do with our gifts. When we use the gifts we were born with, we will go farther and be happier in life. It is only when we ignore those gifts that we can feel unfulfilled. Often, what happens is that we do not recognize our gifts for what they are. We think that because we are good at something everyone must be good at it too, or we think because we are good at it the gift has no value. Not true. We all have special gifts that are unique to us. Perhaps we are great communicators, or good nurturers, or have a green thumb. Gifts come in all varieties. The task of life is to determine what your gifts are and then decide how to use them. We may want to turn our gifts into our pr

I found a wonderful article that was perfect for the screenwriting blog but because it has examples of great stories about perserverance and triumph for whatever your dream is, I've decided to include it here. This is more evidence to never give up on your dreams! Ever! Peace, Love and Happiness, N. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dreams on Spec By Daniel Snyder I was sitting in a well-furnished office on the 20th Century Fox lot, asking James L. Brooks (“Terms of Endearment,” “As Good as It Gets,” “Broadcast News”) about the art and craft of screenwriting. “I never knew anybody,” he was saying, “who ever got a Writers Guild card who didn’t have a hard time when somebody said, ‘What do you do for a living?’ saying, ‘I’m a writer.’ Your voice always catches on ‘a writer,’” Brooks said. “From the earliest stages, it’s what your secret thought was that you wanted to be and what of course you knew was impossible to be.” Brooks was
