🔮 Personal Development is an effective facilitator to grow how much one is being valued by oneself. This is of foundational importance because:
"You cannot out-perform your self-image"
"Self-image is fate... fate that you control"
"With the proper self-image you can out-create any situation"
- Shane Krider, Day 1 of our 3 Day Mindset Mojo personal development online course.
🎙...it is ever so important to value oneself as you are the only one who is always with you.. I have recently found a WONDERFUL solution to keep oneself near & dear no matter what. One of our Six Daily Activities For Success as Online Entrepreneurs is Visualisation (imagining our desired future is happening now). I decided to save voice memos of me telling the story of my future & listen to them on my dog walks to help me make movies of this in my mind. This activity has increased my self-esteem, my focus, & ability to visualise for longer & more consistently.
✅ Personal Development teachers all say you have everything you need within - the whole universe. I never would have thought to go to myself for this. Tada! Tick - suddenly I am now doing another of our Six Daily Activities For Success -Cultivating an Expectation of Leadership. I am being a leader for myself, taking leadership of myself & I am thus attracting like-minded people into my Personal Development business.
🏦 I chose to invest in this business growing value in myself & in doing so I attract those who also wish to grow their value & in doing so attract those who also wish to grow... a growing network of Personal Developers being aptly valued & rewarded for adding value...
💔 I never quite understood why spiritual experts would say we need to get broken up a bit as that's where the light gets in. I felt like the light was already within. And the cracks let it out so we can share it with others. Maybe I am beginning to understand this a little more... we have everything we need within us - the whole universe - when we learn to connect with that which is higher than us - I'm aware of a successful connection when I feel a flood of joy, energy, love, fun like nothing else.
Much gratitude - www.DreamBigNewZealand.co.nz...

The small hole appeared in the northbound lane of State Highway 88 at Ravensbourne this week.
Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency senior network manager Chris Harris said the hole, which was over a highway culvert next to Moller Park, was being monitored.
The culvert had also been visually inspected through security cameras.
“This information is critical to ensuring an effective and lasting repair for those who rely on this busy highway.”
To minimise disruptions to motorists, temporary traffic signals were operating until further notice.
Contractors would remove the road surface on Monday to undertake further investigations.
“We understand the importance of having both lanes of the highway operating in this area, and our contractors are committed to making this happen as quickly as practical,” Harris said.
Waka Kotahi thanked motorists for their patience and for following the temporary speed limits to ensure everyone’s safety, he said.

The DHB currently manages 30 scalable ‘bubbles’ across Otago and Southland that can be used by those needing to self-isolate due to Covid-19 exposure.
The bubbles include the former Aaron Lodge Holiday Park in Dunedin, which has capacity for 100 beds.
The premises had been purchased by Kāinga Ora, and was being leased short-term by the DHB for use as an SIQ facility.
The Southern area also had two SIQ units in Invercargill, six in Queenstown and five in Dunedin on top of the lodge, Public Health South Community SIQ coordination manager Pete Whalley said.
Only the Invercargill units had housed positive cases so far: crew members from the Mattina container ship, which docked in Bluff in July.
Health officials began testing the 21 crew members on the Mattina soon after it arrived at South Port in Bluff, after being notified that two of the members had flu-like symptoms.

Weddings and elopements in New Zealand hit an all-time low in 2020 and have not picked up since.
The number of non-Kiwis getting married in New Zealand is not available, but the number of Kiwis getting married or entering civil unions dropped 20 per cent between 2018 and 2020 – from 20,949 to 16,779.
Marriage numbers in New Zealand have been in decline since the 1960s, but Covid-19 has stopped us from being a wedding and elopement destination for overseas couples too.
Wedding planners in the Queenstown Lakes District are getting only 10 to 25 per cent of their usual business at this time of year. Continue reading here.

“She wanted to see the site where her aunt was murdered.”
She believed that site was Seacliff, about 25 kilometres north of Dunedin and home to an enchanted forest and a former lunatic asylum.
The 500-bed psychiatric hospital was once the largest building commissioned in New Zealand, but is also remembered as the site where 37 women died in a fire on the night of December 8, 1942.
But Hullah's relative was not one of those women.
His mother, Margaret Wells, who is in her mid-90s and lives in Australia, told her son of their relative's death as he drove towards Seacliff in March 2020, just before the first Covid-19 lockdown.
Wells was a young child when her favourite aunt, Peggy McInnes – who was actually her much older cousin – suddenly stopped visiting their Dunedin home.
Years later, she was told McInnes had been murdered.
Hullah said he knew McInnes used to work as a nurse at Seacliff, and was murdered by a spurned former boyfriend who later killed himself in the hospital’s grounds, now home to a reserve.
The story was eerily similar to another that unfolded in the tiny township in 2016, when Stephen Findlay killed neighbour Sharon Comerford before turning his gun on himself in the grounds of the reserve.
Findlay survived and in 2017 was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 11 years.
McInnes’ murder actually happened at Orokonui Hospital, a former psychiatric hospital about halfway between Dunedin and Seacliff, on August 24, 1928.
A newspaper report, headlined ‘Driven Insane By Jealousy’, said McInnes, a 25-year-old nurse, had recently been transferred from Seacliff to Orokonui.
But it was at Seacliff where McInnes had first met Thomas Ellis, a 35-year-old Dunedin bricklayer, who was working on a new kitchen building at the site.
The pair courted for several months before the tragedy happened in the grounds of the Orokonui Hospital.
Ellis visited McInnes at her new workplace after hearing their relationship was over. McInnes later left work at 8pm, wearing her uniform under a brown coat.
Later that evening, a staff member heard groans coming from the hospital grounds. They found Ellis wandering about with his throat cut.
Ellis died at the scene, and police were then tasked with finding a missing nurse: McInnes.
Several hours later they made a grim discovery.
McInnes was found lying on a blanket under a large pine tree. Her face had been bashed in, and her throat was cut.
The murder weapons – a pen knife and a stone wrapped in a handkerchief – were found nearby.
Tellingly, police found a note in Ellis’ pocket. The note, sent by McInnes, indicated she would meet him at a prearranged time and date.
A colleague of McInnes later told an inquest the young nurse was deciding between two men, including Ellis, whom she was lukewarm on.
The pair had earlier been spotted arguing at a dance at Seacliff after Ellis – later described in a report by the Otago Daily Times as a “tall, thin, dark man” – saw her dancing with other men.
“The facts of this sad tragedy are only too plain,” the coroner said.
“It is obvious that Nurse Mclnnes was murdered by Ellis who then cut his throat.”
