		<description><![CDATA[<p>I was at a workshop a couple of years ago talking to some truly amazing people about what they were ‘in service of’, and I got a jolt (like a bolt of lightning) of realisation that <em>if these people didn’t serve this world, it would be a tragedy</em>.  And I know that this realisation was not just for the 10 people sitting in that workshop, but for every single person on this planet.  Including you.</p>

<p>I know that you have something truly amazing to give, that you are passionate about something that you see every day in your life, that you really would love to do something to ‘sort it out’…and I know that sometimes ‘life’ gets in the way!  Another thing I know is that it does not have to be this way.  There are ways to ‘serve’ this world without sacking your job and haring off to work in poverty stricken areas.</p>

<p>(Although if you really want to do that…what is stopping you?!)</p>

<p>You have so much talent, so much to give that it breaks my heart to see so many of you not using it.  Especially when it could be so easy!  Truly, it can be very easy.  Nothing drastic needs to happen.  All you need is imagination, willingness, and a cause.  For example, if it drives you wild to see people being miserable, you could make it your mission to bring cheer to the world.  </p>

<p>You can even use your current job to serve – my favourite example of this a story I heard of an accountant who is driven by the desire to make the world a more peaceful place…so he helps people get ‘at peace’ with their finances.  If an accountant can do it, why not you?  How could you turn your current place of work into your ministry?</p>

<p><em>This is too important for you to just read, nod and forget.</em>  I want you to remember that you have something incredible that you are here to accomplish.  And you know it.  You might not know what it is, you might be afraid of it and you might even think ‘I can’t’.  You can.  You must.  This world needs you to step up.  I once didn’t know – I found out.  I am scared – that’s okay, I can still serve.  I sometimes think ‘I can’t’, and then I remember.  I can.</p>

<p>Each one of us is just one part of a much bigger picture.  You might be here to serve peace or joy or love or passion or a million other things…and you know what?  There are others who are serving the same thing.  You are not alone in this.  But you, too, are needed to do your corner of the tapestry of life.  If we all started working together, imagine what could be achieved?  This world needs you to step up.</p>

<p><strong>Something to play with</strong></p>
<p>Start thinking about what you are here to serve.  What do you hate to see in the world?  What makes you think ‘NO! that must stop’?  If you had all the money in the world, what would you ‘fix’?  Figure out how you can start serving now, today.  </p>

<p>And if you are really interested in exploring this – the <a href="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/2012/02/february-special-offer/" title="February Special Offer">February Special Offer</a> is still available...but just for another 2 days!  So be quick, <a href="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/contact-me/" title="Contact">get in touch</a> and let me help you step up and serve in the way you are destined to.</p>

<p><strong>What is Your Money Wish?</strong></p>

<p>[caption id="attachment_2616" align="alignleft" width="150" caption=" "]<a href="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Falling-Money.jpg"><img src="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Falling-Money-150x150.jpg" alt=" " title="Falling Money" width="150" height="150" class="size-thumbnail wp-image-2616" /></a>[/caption]I love this wish.  The question alone gave me a rush of lovely energy (which I usually get with the answer, not the wish!).  My money wish has 3 levels - number one is I wish to have the money to allow me to do what I love to do every day without stress or fear (and I am so grateful that I am close to this one).  Level two is that I wish to have the financial backing to reach a big audience of 'my people' - those people I can most help to become the fabulous, gifted genius they were born to be.  (ooh, that one feels so juicy!)  And level three is that I wish to have the money to make a difference in the world, to help to create a world where no one needs to die hungry or of preventable, treatable disease; a world where every person has the opportunity to be who they were born to be; a world where joy and love are more important than power and prestige.</p>

<p><em>This is too important for you to just read, nod and forget.</em>  I want you to remember that you have something incredible that you are here to accomplish.  And you know it.  You might not know what it is, you might be afraid of it and you might even think ‘I can’t’.  You can.  You must.  This world needs you to step up.  I once didn’t know – I found out.  I am scared – that’s okay, I can still serve.  I sometimes think ‘I can’t’, and then I remember.  I can.</p>
<p>Each one of us is just one part of a much bigger picture.  You might be here to serve peace or joy or love or passion or a million other things…and you know what?  There are others who are serving the same thing.  You are not alone in this.  But you, too, are needed to do your corner of the tapestry of life.  If we all started working together, imagine what could be achieved?  This world needs you to step up.</p>
<p><strong>Something to play with</strong><br />
Start thinking about what you are here to serve.  What do you hate to see in the world?  What makes you think ‘NO! that must stop’?  If you had all the money in the world, what would you ‘fix’?  Figure out how you can start serving now, today.  </p>
<p>And if you are really interested in exploring this – the <a href="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/2012/02/february-special-offer/" title="February Special Offer">February Special Offer</a> is still available&#8230;but just for another 2 days!

<p>I was at a workshop a couple of years ago talking to some truly amazing people about what they were ‘in service of’, and I got a jolt (like a bolt of lightning) of realisation that <em>if these people didn’t serve this world, it would be a tragedy</em>.  And I know that this realisation was not just for the 10 people sitting in that workshop, but for every single person on this planet.  Including you.</p>
<p>I know that you have something truly amazing to give, that you are passionate about something that you see every day in your life, that you really would love to do something to ‘sort it out’…and I know that sometimes ‘life’ gets in the way!  Another thing I know is that it does not have to be this way.  There are ways to ‘serve’ this world without sacking your job and haring off to work in poverty stricken areas.</p>
<p>(Although if you really want to do that…what is stopping you?!)</p>
<p>You have so much talent, so much to give that it breaks my heart to see so many of you not using it.  Especially when it could be so easy!  Truly, it can be very easy.  Nothing drastic needs to happen.  All you need is imagination, willingness, and a cause.  For example, if it drives you wild to see people being miserable, you could make it your mission to bring cheer to the world.  </p>
<p>You can even use your current job to serve – my favourite example of this a story I heard of an accountant who is driven by the desire to make the world a more peaceful place…so he helps people get ‘at peace’ with their finances.  If an accountant can do it, why not you?  How could you turn your current place of work into your ministry?</p>

Aaaah, c&#8217;est la vie! But you know, whatever the weather is doing &#8211; get out and enjoy the outdoors. I was [...]]]></description>

<p>I was at a workshop a couple of years ago talking to some truly amazing people about what they were ‘in service of’, and I got a jolt (like a bolt of lightning) of realisation that <em>if these people didn’t serve this world, it would be a tragedy</em>.  And I know that this realisation was not just for the 10 people sitting in that workshop, but for every single person on this planet.  Including you.</p>
<p>I know that you have something truly amazing to give, that you are passionate about something that you see every day in your life, that you really would love to do something to ‘sort it out’…and I know that sometimes ‘life’ gets in the way!  Another thing I know is that it does not have to be this way.  There are ways to ‘serve’ this world without sacking your job and haring off to work in poverty stricken areas.</p>
<p>(Although if you really want to do that…what is stopping you?!)</p>
<p>You have so much talent, so much to give that it breaks my heart to see so many of you not using it.  Especially when it could be so easy!  Truly, it can be very easy.  Nothing drastic needs to happen.  All you need is imagination, willingness, and a cause.  For example, if it drives you wild to see people being miserable, you could make it your mission to bring cheer to the world.  </p>
<p>You can even use your current job to serve – my favourite example of this a story I heard of an accountant who is driven by the desire to make the world a more peaceful place…so he helps people get ‘at peace’ with their finances.  If an accountant can do it, why not you?  How could you turn your current place of work into your ministry?</p>
<p><em>This is too important for you to just read, nod and forget.</em>  I want you to remember that you have something incredible that you are here to accomplish.  And you know it.  You might not know what it is, you might be afraid of it and you might even think ‘I can’t’.  You can.  You must.  This world needs you to step up.  I once didn’t know – I found out.  I am scared – that’s okay, I can still serve.  I sometimes think ‘I can’t’, and then I remember.  I can.</p>
<p>Each one of us is just one part of a much bigger picture.  You might be here to serve peace or joy or love or passion or a million other things…and you know what?  There are others who are serving the same thing.  You are not alone in this.  But you, too, are needed to do your corner of the tapestry of life.  If we all started working together, imagine what could be achieved?  This world needs you to step up.</p>
<p><strong>Something to play with</strong><br />
Start thinking about what you are here to serve.  What do you hate to see in the world?  What makes you think ‘NO! that must stop’?  If you had all the money in the world, what would you ‘fix’?  Figure out how you can start serving now, today.  </p>
<p>And if you are really interested in exploring this – the <a href="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/2012/02/february-special-offer/" title="February Special Offer">February Special Offer</a> is still available&#8230;but just for another 2 days!  So be quick, <a href="http://www.donnaonthebeach.com/blog/contact-me/" title="Contact">get in touch</a> and let me help you step up and serve in the way you are destined to.</p>
