Sexism hurts everyone

Sexism

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  You cannot have sexism against one gender without sexism against another. Women as objects leaves men without permission to develop relationships of depth. Women as emotional (and that is weak/wrong) leaves men without a form of healthy emotional expression. Women as stay at home housekeepers and nannies means men must earn all the money and be less involved with their families. ‘Girls’ can’t work at the executive level means all of the strengths of women are removed from essential decisions and corporations suffer. Women must do women’s work means men cannot choose any job they want either. When one …

Leader or follower

Leader or follower

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  A follower is the woman at the front of the room saying exactly what her audience wants to hear. She is nothing more than a follower wearing a leader’s skirt. A leader is the woman at the front of the room saying exactly what needs to be said, whether her audience wants to hear it or not. She respects her audience. She values her audience. She says difficult things with intelligence, kindness, and generosity. A leader is the woman in the room who stands up and not knowing how she will be received, agrees with the leader at the …

Motivation is like exercise

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  I have heard it before. “Yeah, yeah, I go to these things and I get all pumped up but it only lasts a week. Then it is back to where I was and the inspiration is gone. It does not work. All they want is your money.” Motivation, like exercise, must be repeated to produce results. It does not matter what motivates you: dreaming, quotes, blog posts, talks, music, podcasts, the list goes on. What matters is, like exercise, you get a regular dose of it. Like exercise, you can pay a lot of money to get it: fancy …

No one right answer

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  Most of the time, there is no one right answer. There are an infinite number of answers, most are right. Trying to guess the right answer can paralyze us into inaction. Do I order coffee, a latte, tea or a cola? Do I focus on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or Instagram? Do I do cardio, lift weights or take a fitness class? Do I invest in stocks, real estate or a business? The answer is yes. All of the above. They are all are valid options. Start somewhere.   “If I must start somewhere, right here and now is the …

Should you leap?

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  Yes, you should leap. Most of the important things we do take a great leap of faith. Putting that new product into the marketplace. Sending our kids to summer camp for the first time. Asking for the sale. Every time we have something that important it feels like we are standing at the top of a gaping hole in the Earth and we cannot see the bottom. Because we cannot see the outcome. However, taking the leap is worth it because in that seemingly bottomless hole we might find love, truth, connection, health, wealth. We might not find anything, …

The secret to abundant health

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  Abundant health. We all want it. But, what people say all the time is, “I want to lose weight.” The focus becomes on removing what we do not want in our lives.  Then, we are empty and hungry. This is not abundance. Health is about abundance, what we want in our lives. Loved ones around the table. Good food on the table. Time to exercise. Celebration. Confidence. Support. Energy. A positive mindset. [ctt template=”8″ link=”7Yu35″ via=”yes” nofollow=”yes”]Losing weight is an outcome of a healthy lifestyle. @omelodyann[/ctt] Being joyful, healthy, beautiful… All of these things are nothing more than a happy side effect of …

Do you have your tickets?

Leave a Comment / Melody's Musings / By / 1 minute of reading

  Most of us do not show up at the airport with no plan. No destination, no tickets, no luggage, no passport, no plan. If we did, we would not expect to get very far. No amazing vacation in the perfect destination with the perfect side trips. Why show up to life like that? Plan life. And when we do go on vacation, even a well-planned vacation never ends up as planned. We have stories we tell later. The storm we weathered, the wrong path taken, spending too much… this is part of the experience. At the time, being lost …
