Hello, wherever you are!
It's November
2007, and this is the last 'Being
Yourself For A
Living' newsletter for the
year.
It contains a reminder about my new book, news of the coming summer
tour
by The Black Hotels, and a short article on the importance of taking a
break.
INSIGHTS
My new book INSIGHTS was launched on 7 November 2007 at Fascination
Books in Bedfordview, with a talk and live show by The
Black Hotels. The book comprises
55 insights to awaken your spirit and boost your business.

"INSIGHTS is inspiring and educational as well as an easy read." Alistair Plint, Speakers of Note
"I would LOVE to have you as the guest speaker at our
monthly vocational meeting as I have read your book and feel that your
kind of practical positivity can benefit the Rotarians, visitors and
their partners."
Bev Frieslich : President - Edenvale Rotary Club
"INSIGHTS is fun and easy to
read. It tends to move one to laughter, tears and other emotions." Denise Mhlanga - Bedfordview Edenvale News
"I received INSIGHTS in the
mail yesterday and I am really excited about it. I've started reading
and it is really a very good book. The chapters I have read really hit
home because I can identify with what you are saying. I'm planning to
get INSIGHTS as Christmas presents for my friends, family and work
colleagues. Thank you Robin, you're a star." Lulama Kwinana, M-Net In-house Productions

QUOTES
"A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and
pursuing one's own path, not chasing the dream of others." Chin-Ning Chu, Strategist
"You have within you right now
everything you need to deal with whatever the world can throw at you." Brian Tracy,
Author & Entrepreneur
TAKE A BREAK!
Perhaps the most important strategy, tactic and skill for all round
success in business and life is to rest. Without it, nothing else works
or makes sense. It is essential to rest often: daily, monthly and
annually.
You can do it spontaneously, whenever you feel tired and your body and
mind tell you to. It is important to stay in touch with yourself, your
feelings, moods and state of being, and it is important to act in line
with what your awareness tells you. Rest when you feel the need.
You can also do it in a more planned way. You can make sure that every
day, you take time for it. Punctuate your performance with it. You can
go as far as feeling that a state of rest is your reference point so
that
your action stems from it.
You can make sure that in every week, you take a day for rest.
And
every month you take two or three days off and do nothing work and
business related. Easier said than done, whatever job or business you
are in, but the way to go, not so?
Then, annually you need a big holiday! Not only because you have more
than earned it but because it's prudent.
Reflecting on what I have just written, I see that I have a lot of
resting to do to be true to my words. So, if you'll excuse me...
;-)
Have a great December.
Robin
