When you think of your purpose as bringing more love and light into the world,

you’ll know why Gautama Buddha said, ‘Your purpose in life is to find your purpose and give your whole heart and soul to it”

Insight #4

Brilliant women see confidence more of an illusion - a luxury they can’t afford to wait on.

Instead, they opt for a different kind of relationship with self-doubt.

Insight #5

It’s often your inner critic that’s afraid to express on the outside what you truly feel on the inside.

Acknowledge it and you’ll be less apt to internalize it.

Insight #6

Energy Tip: Try starting your day by setting this intention and paying attention to what happens

- “How can I be of service today?”

Insight #7

If you’re less than totally satisfied with your life, here are a few clues that might

give you a glimpse of your calling:• What’s an area of persistent pain or frustration

that you have for the status quo?• What have you been resisting that keeps coming up?• Have you felt pulled towards something lately for

which you felt not prepared for?

Insight #8

Women who get ahead understand that all substantive work brings about both praise and criticism. The trick is never take it personally.

Insight #9

Those who communicate with power shy away from low impact words such as ‘just’, ‘actually,’ ‘I’m no expert’; and instead voice

their point of view decisively.

Insight #10

Habit Tip: A less powerful woman always questions her state of readiness; while the more

powerful one embraces the challenge because of the respect she has for the work itself.
