Think about it for a moment. You know those feelings that you get when you are experiencing something new or that certain someone that makes your heart beat faster and makes you blush. Well as I was thinking about this, it dawned on me. Wouldn’t it be a wonderful pursuit to do things that will elicit those same feelings from all areas of life?

It’s all about Perspective
by Paula Morand | January 27th, 2012 | 8:00 AM | LIVING 720 Philosophy

When you look in the mirror, what do you see? Are you happy, sad, content, tired, overworked, fed up, burnt out, frustrated, excited, hopeful or stressed? Do you think of yourself as a uniquely loveable person? Do you view your life as a work of art that is woven with rich life experiences, painted with colorful relationships and sketched with the fine detail that comes from taking notice of the little things? When you look at yourself in the mirror, do you see a true reflection of who you really are?

Don’t live on the sidelines but rather the sight-lines.
by Paula Morand | January 25th, 2012 | 2:06 PM | Attitude, Goal Setting, Personal Success, Uncategorized

I have really tapping into what makes my heart sing and starting this year really trying to see my life through fresh eyes. Having the courage to cut off and say no and fully embrace those things that matter most and release those things that are not serving me in my best interest.

Recently my youngest child was diagnosed with a rare eye condition. We had no idea that for the past 10 years of his life, that he was seeing double every time he tried to read. As a result, he has struggled so much and has had numerous issues with school and of course we were told ADD, learning disorders etc…when all the time it was his actual eyes that were the issues. In just one surgery, his eyes have been repaired and he is now able to see the world crystal clear.

Give away your gifts
by Paula Morand | November 21st, 2011 | 10:30 AM | A Word from Paula, LIVING 720 Philosophy

You were gifted with skills and abilities for a reason. What a shame it would be that each one of us let fear get in the way of fully living by not using our God given talents to inspire, change and impact the world around us.
Are you feeling called to do something? To help someone?

Don’t Give Up

Feeling a little blue? Not completely satisfied with life at the moment?
Sometimes it is an absolute necessity to give yourself the gift of a “time out”. Having an honest conversation with yourself is essential in answering the questions, “What is it that I truly want out of my life?”.

Life can be challenging. We make decisions that at the time seem like it is in our best interest or feels good,but in the end it has taken us away from where we are supposed to be. The good news is that each of us has within us the power of choice. Choice gives us [...]

Give thanks for those who have paved the way.
by Paula Morand | November 11th, 2011 | 10:34 AM | A Word from Paula

More often than not we should remind ourselves that the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today were paid by a very heavy price by others before us. Take a moment of silence today to honour, pray and show gratitude to those men, women and families who sacrifice a more comfortable life for one that is devoted to making sure peace prevails.

Are you living your life deliberately?
by Paula Morand | November 1st, 2011 | 8:27 AM | Attitude, Goal Setting, Leadership, Motivation, Personal Success

Are you living your life deliberately? … or accidentally?

“The more boundless your vision, the more real you are.”
― Deepak Chopra

Are you living your life your way? Is your career what you want it to be? Do you look forward with pleasure to going to your office each day? Or is it with a feeling of dread, with the knowledge that this is something you have to do only to make money. Are you reaching your personal goals? Are your relationships all that you’ve dreamed? Are you the one that’s in control of your life?

A life lived with courage.
by Paula Morand | October 22nd, 2011 | 10:42 AM | Leadership, Overcoming Fear, Personal Success

When we develop courage we arm ourselves with the power and skill to confront problems and deal with adversity head on – a muscle that requires regular work-outs, one that helps us deal with life’s challenges.
