Every single one of you can be a leader. But it's important to understand the difference between a leader and a boss.

Leaders are inspiring and encouraged success. They nuture your potential and guide you to be the best version of yourself. This is achieved by never criticising but offering advice and strategies that support personal development and improvement.

There are many misconceptions about what a leader is. A few stand-out leadership skills are when delivering feedback that leadership uses congruent communication to address concerns. This helps to maintain a sense of safety, confidence, and understanding that empowers others. This breeds success and experience.

Secondly, leaders should be a source of encouragement and motivation. True and benevolent leaders use their expertise, experience, and knowledge to inform, guide, and support others. Their power of authority should never be with an iron first but gentle hands. This is a gentle strength that spots concerns and motivates and encourages change in others.

Thirdly, no matter anyone's status or achievement in life, this does NOT make them a good leadership. Leadership is not a title. It's a way of life and a personality type, which is explicitly seen through their actions and the way they communicate and respond to everyone.

Fourthly, leaders are not always suited to the role. There are wholes in every environment. There are many leaders that have gained influence, not through their ability to inspire, encourage, support, and show kindness and respect. It was gained through their ability to check a box, so another person above them could tick a box. Even if that box shouldn't be ticked.

I may also find myself working on the channel much more. PS: new readings very soon. Im just balancing myself out and making sure im organised.

It's important that on our journey through life that we learn to understand what brings us peace and happiness. We are designed to seek out peace and happiness. Our hearts naturally desire intrinsic and extrinsic fulfilment.

Intrinsic fulfilment is controlled by our emotional desires. These desires relate to feelings of belonging, kinship, respect, intimacy, social equality, social recognition, etc. While, our extrinsic fulfilments are about rewards/materialism but also relate to having access to a stable environment, food, water, or anything physically tangible.

People can at times be operating from our desire for extrinsic fulfilment. This means we are searching outside of ourselves for something tangible. Once we find an item that we perceive as of value, it creates a sense of emotional momentum that never actually reaches a climax.

You would think this means the feeling of satisfaction is long lasting. However, it actually means that the feeling for satisfaction has not been reached. This is because the object of desire can only offer momentary fulfilment.

For example, extrinsic fulfilment can be like a sugar high or feeling hungry. The food is of value until your appetite is satisfied. Your favourite food is your favourite until you turn off it or it becomes less desirable. This is all external/extrinsic because it offers momentary satisfaction. Except that food being a physiological need means there is a climax as it reduces hunger.

However, in cases of over eating and obesity this strengthens my thoughts behind an emotion, never reaching a climax or being fulfilled because the eating continues. This is an attempt to emotionally/intrinsically satisfy themselves with something extrinsically.

Which means there is a dependency on extrinsic motivations but a clear inability to emotionally satisfy their intrinsic needs. Intrinsic fulfilment is generally the main goal, as the need for intrinsic fulfilment is the main reason for seeking out anything extrinsic. Extrinsic fulfilment is like a seat filler for the main objective, which is to feel emotionally fulfilled.

Another example, a child gets a new toy, they begin to play with the toy, but all of a sudden, the toy is not stimulating. They dont feel that their desire for discovery has been fulfilled. They received an extrinsic reward, something tangible, but their feelings of fulfilment could not be maintained. It never fully satisfied their desire.

The main point is that external satisfaction offers momentary happiness and peace. However, it's intrinsic satisfaction that reaps the most rewards. This is because intrinsic fulfilment can offer longer, lasting emotional satisfaction that is more easily accessible. It's not something that is usually scarce. For example, spending time with family and friends, doing good deeds, helping others in need, showing respect, supporting others, using kind words, encouraging others, and giving back.

To further elaborate, spending time with family and friends offers a sense of belonging and community. This can prompt feelings of togetherness, comradeship, and kinship that develop a deep connection to self and those around us. These experiences motivate us extrinsically and maintain a feeling of emotional satisfaction.

Another example is doing good deeds and helping others to create a sense of emotional achievement that serves a purpose. This creates a deeper sense of community that surrounds encouragement and a strong sense of community and belonging. This leads to feelings of liveliness, inspiration, and the warm and fuzzies. As a result of being there to help others and gaining feelings of achievement through doing something that makes you feel good and serves a much higher purpose in the lives of others. The feeling of doing gooder energy has such a positive influence on our inner world and can lead to feeling intrinsically fulfilled.

You're able to set away from clinical and rigid systems and get back to basics. This allows us to focus more on the well-being and feelings of others. Opposed to expectations that surround ticking boxes and fulfilling requirements that prompt a less humanised approach in many areas. You're living for the experience rather than living to meet a standard. A standard that will continue to be a requirement.

The focus is small but meaningful acts that can create a sense of connection that helps to maintain our feelings of happiness and peace. It contextualises our lives using emotionally driven experiences to stimulate and revive our inner world. This gives our lives meaning through learning to use real-life and hands-on experiences that we can create, action, and maintain for ourselves.

In conclusion, the child was never going to be satisfied with the toy. They were searching for something more meaningful. Maybe the child wasn't ready to understand what really made them happy.

As adults, we understand that we can't settle with extrinsic fulfilment. If we are settling, our hearts/souls will become restless and unsatisfied. We learn that we CAN NOT put our happiness and progress in the hands of others or objects, something we consider tangible. What's most tangible and satisfying is the simplest act. Not connected to personal gain.

I wanted to take the time to remind each one of you of how special you are. It's so important to recognise your worth and know who you are at the core of your being. Never let anyone l corrupt that part of yourself.

You need to stay connected to yourself. This means paying close attention to what brings you happiness and motivates you. Everyone does not have the skill to motivate and inspire others. This makes it of high priority to protect your sense of self and discover what keeps you motivated, but most importantly, what brings you happiness.

Your main purpose in this life is to feel happy and thrive being who you are. You will never please everyone and always be treated respectfully on your journey to happiness. This does not mean you can not offer those things to yourself because you can not disregard your own happiness over everything else.

Some people are joy suckers. They put on a good show but rob you of your light and then wonder where it has gone. Putting on a good show, being a good actor is not authentic. It's playing pretend. The more authentic and genuine you are, the less you play pretend. You crave true happiness and real inspiration. But also to be around uplifting and inspiring people.

In life, what you will remember the most is whether you were happy. If you were able to live your life and discover all the beautiful things life has for you. This is priceless. Life is not meant to be a rat race. It's not meant to be you running in the same maze as everyone else.

You are not a clown in the circus. You could be that lion that people constantly want to tame. You might be the trapeze artist swinging from great heights. If you are the lion, remember that the lion is the king of jungle. The lion tamer believes he has power over the lion, but that power is an illusion because in the jungle, the tamer is a meal.

Truthfully, the lion would have eaten the tamer, the pride would have joined in, and the tamer would have been a meal. The tamer is nothing but a walking happy meal with a whip. If the tamer is a happy meal, we all know that's not good for you. It's junk food, and the lion needs real food. You are a person who has a soul, a mission, and a purpose. Your true sense of alignment will bring you happiness.

This involves providing yourself experiences that motivate you, inspire you, and bring you a wealth of understanding and connection to self. If you can bring yourself some semblance of happiness that is you living your life. That is what life actually means, what it means to let yourself live.

I think we can confuse happiness with achievement. But that is a momentary happiness. You are meant to be yourself and keep progressing in life in ways that make you happy.

If we are constantly trying to please people who don't really know us or want us to succeed, then we will never thrive. Happiness is thriving. The biggest and most important goal in life is to reach a state of happiness and peace within ourselves.

I look forward to seeing everyone in my next messages. It turns out I have a sinus infection and have had for about 8 days, but it should be fine. Im feeling pretty happy and relaxed, which is a welcomed suprise.

Once I've got antibiotics and im on the mend, i can then do a bit more on the channel. I will definitely be doing more fun things, having a bit more freedom in life, just actually living. There is nothing to do with pleasing others' expectations but pleasing my own possibly indefinitely if that makes me happy.

My most recent experiences with other educators may have definitely turned me off teaching. Argo, more time to live and therefore be happy. Work on the channel, go on holidays, be more creative, and go out more.

Maybe my life doesn't involve working 270 days a week, on weekends, holidays, extra meetings, professional development, etc. I may be a better psychologist, counsellor, or social worker. But we will see where my passions take me. It's an open opportunity for me at this time. However, my passion for teaching may be reignited. But usually, placements are supposed to reinforce your passions.

All I can say is that in the past, Australia may have lost out on a lot of good teachers. Even if it's not specifically what some people want. There's a bigger picture outside of the little bubble that many schools can find themselves in. But that is a whole other thing. As Australians, we may find that the shortage of teachers could last a very long time. This means that eventually, retirement ages will go up, and schools will find it much more difficult to find teachers and staff schools which will result in staff shortages, which will eventually affects the overall quality of teaching, teaching workloads, and education in general.

This will put pressure of newly graduated teachers, teachers staying in the industry, teachers already in the industry. I mean, there are teachers with degrees that have opted out of the teaching only a few years in. My issue was never with the workload.

Nevertheless, i will now be focusing on blessings that are already in alignment with me. I believe everything happens for a reasons even the negative stuff we go through.

Also, I already do have another message. But I guess i was a bit stressed with my speaking before I even started. But I eventually managed to actually speak. It was suggested that when I speak, it sounds like I dont care. People dont think i care about them, hahaha.

So i was like, am I speaking like I care about what im saying. Which was a weird thing for me to consider because people always tell me things and ask me stuff. So those thoughts did affect me a bit. So I'll release that message soon. Then work on others. Im trying to relax a bit when making messages, but it may take a bit of time, hahaha.

This is the absolute truth. Your commitments should be to your goals and what you are called to do it. You may not understand your purpose yet and what you are called to do in this lifetime time. However, this does not mean that you do not have a calling and personal mission.

What does your calling and mission look like. This is open for interpretation depending on the person and what they feel guided to do. Your purpose and mission are what you feel driven to do and where you believe and feel you need to be to achieve those goals, live out your purpose, and answer your calling.

You may have steps that you need to follow. These stepping stones will bring you closer to your calling and understanding your ultimate goal. However, it is also crucial to explore yourself as an individual. This deeper exploration of yourself while working your way through challenges and learning opportunities is your preparation. This is how you prepare and up skill yourself to be able to answer that calling.

Your calling and purpose are personal. As it is your own personal journey towards being who you are meant to be. Will the journey be easy, probably not. However, it is meant to be that way. It is meant to test your commitment to yourself and your journey. Each person has a calling and a set of personal goals that they can feel intuitively need to complete in this lifetime. The hardest part is figuring out your calling and teaching yourself to be disciplined and dedicated to creating the right circumstances that can bring that calling into your timeline. Is the timeline important, not really. What is important is the journey and fully engaging in every stepping stone you are confronted with to move onto your next phase.

This can relate to love and relationships as well. You know when you are called to be in a relationship, and you can also feel when it is not your time. You may believe you have met the right person, but then circumstances change, the way you feel changes, and what you need changes. What does NOT align with your higher calling will be pushed out, as it is seen as deterent from your own alignment with your main purpose and calling. Love and relationships are a calling and very important. However, the overall mission surpasses that. Which is why love and relationships need to align with who you are in this moment in time.

This applies to all relationships. They need to align with your overall soul mission. Once you know what your mission is, it becomes much easier to distinguish the difference in relationships. Is the relationship healthy, does it make you happy, do you feel a sense of belonging, does it impact your performance, will it distract you from you goals, does it fit into what your life looks like at this time. When the relationship is romantic, you know it is right when you can easily answer these questions. As i have mentioned, this applies to all relationships.

Additionally, you can feel called to be single, or the universe will keep you single as a safeguard for your preparation. They want you prepared and unfortunately the preparation for each person will be different. This can be psychological, emotional, spiritual, educational, social, and all of the above that need developing. It could be that those you have connected with are NOT developed enough in these areas. It could be that you are not developed enough in these areas. There could be a grace period. There are so many different reasons and circumstances that act as a catalyst to why something is the way it is. It could literally be a period for recognising signs, synchronicities, and problem areas in general.

I'll add more and edit. So it makes more sense. More will come to me.

Anger can be demonised and seen as a sign of toxicity. If anger is not tempered, then it can lead to negative perspectives and behaviours. What we forget is that anger is a part of being human. it's an emotional response that signals that something is not right. Anger and frustration are not signs of a toxic person. It is a sign that something it wrong.

This means we need to reflect on our anger and reframe our own response to determine where the anger is stemming from. We need to be able to understand the inner dialogue that happens when our anger is being created or escalated. Once you understand where the anger comes from, immediately validate it. Validate it because it is important to value your emotions and the reasons why you feel them. This will help you to understand how it can be rectified.

The deeper understanding you have of its origins, the more you begin to understand where to look. This means the investigation can begin. We are constantly investigating ourselves and learning how we function emotionally and what can reduce undesired feelings but also maintain the positive ones.

Do not contridict your feelings, allow them to be accepted. You need to make it a safe space to explore what you are feeling without condemning and demonising yourself for being a human being with feelings. We need to develop a positive relationship with ourselves, and this begins with validating our emotions to seek closure that can allow for further reflection and emotional relief.

When you have been mistreated, undervalued, underestimated, and disrespected, it is a reasonable response to feel angry and frustrated. Moreover, when a situation is unfair and unequitable, while also demonstrating a disregard for equality and avoiding accountability, the anger is reasonable.

As i have mentioned, create a safe space to feel angry and explore why it is present. Then, ask yourself when I step outside of this situation and see it from an outsider's perspective would I do. How would i help to reduce the anger and frustration. While also validating that it is fine to be human and that their emotions are reasonable.

Anger and frustration are actually signs of emotional distress. However, it can look very aggressive and uncontrollable. This blinds us to the truth of the matter, and the truth is that it is a sign of emotional distress.

The fact is when someone is angry, their reasons are legitimate, and as human beings, we should be able to recognise that every person is angered and frustrated by different factors. While some of those factors may be understandable, some may not be. Nevertheless, we validate, we support, we listen, we suggest, and we make them feel safe to express themselves. We should do this for ourselves, not just for other people.

Anger should never be demonised. Anger should be seen as normal and sometimes necessary. However, there should be boundaries, strategies, and resources accessible to reduce and mitigate feelings of anger.

There is power in pain and the potential to reach a much deeper understanding of how people interact with the world. There are times when the power gained through having gone through painful experiences can go undervalued and unnoticed.

People who have lived ordinary and well-adjusted lives may never completely understand how real, raw, and excruciating certain experiences were for some people.We can sympathise with one another, which is a commendable skill to have when connecting with people.

However, this does not create an understanding of how it felt and what they had to do to survive their pain. There is no understanding of how the power of survival is not always a pleasant sight.

This is because pain can change how people function on a psychological level. It does influence our perspectives, the way they interact, and how we handle situations faced. But this can be positive.

The positive is that those who have suffered generational and intergenerational trauma have a deep insight, knowledge, and understanding that can only be earned through having experienced trauma. These experiences create first-hand knowledge that can be applied in a range of environments.

The understanding gained strengthens the partnerships we form with others and creates a much deeper connection with people. This is because they are not only heard and valued but also seen and recognised as survivors. There is something special about survivors recognising one another. You see a piece of yourself in someone else. Which is a very personal and important factor in the bond.

Survivors of intergenerational trauma know each other through the pain they have mutually healed from and could still be going through. This creates a sense of inherent kinship and connection that is derived from shared experience. The pain you both feel is separate, but the experience is shared. You both know what each other has lived through and, therefore, there is respect that bonds you both. You're not trauma dumping. You do not share to dwell and bond as victims. YOU BOND AS SURVIVORS.

It's a special privilege to not only sympathise with someone else's pain but also to understand it. Which is a powerful experience. Every person we meet will not share this special understanding of each others healing journey.

Trust and know wholeheartedly that this is a superpower that not many people have. They may believe that they do, but it shows in the deep connections they have with those who have suffered, healed, and could be suffering now. If you can reach someones heart and soul and really see and communicate with them, then its demonstrated. It's the real deal.

Here's the truth that many forget to tell us. You need to focus on yourself. What other people are doing, thinking and saying is not your problem. Your problem is you and how you can make yourself happy and bring yourself a sense of peace and self accomplishment.

You are not going to have everyone hoping for your success and wanting to invest in you. You won't have everyone you meet creating opportunities for you to grow. Truthfully, some people won't want you to succeed because they dont care if you win or lose.

However, you can create your own happiness by focusing on yourself and finding strategies that help you to make yourself a top priority. You can succeed if you choose to succeed. You can be great if you choose to be great. There is so much potential and prosperity that lives in you if you choose to let it out. If you choose to shine and be seen. But ultimately, if you choose to invest in yourself by focusing on how you can grow and better yourself.

Don't make excuses, and feel like you can't do it. Be honest with yourself and know that it will be hard, you will struggle, you will face adversity, and you will have setbacks. However, know that you will make it happen. It's not about the struggle, and it's not about other people. It's all about you. What will you do to make yourself happy? What will you do to place the focus back on you and your actions.

It's not about what you can't change. It's primarily about what you can change. Eliminate all those excuses and negative thoughts that others may have about you or you may have about yourself. Your choice and you choose.

You can spend a lifetime hoping for others to come to their senses. But you can always be self-aware of who you are and what you expect for yourself. It's reasonable to have the mentality that you deserve good things and that you won't reduce your value and diminish your values, abilities, and sense of self to mould yourself to how others perceive you and want you to be.

Like, who cares what other people think about you. It's about what you think about yourself. They dont give you opportunities, who cares, thats there problem. They dont like you, who cares, thats their problem. They dont want you, who cares thats their problem. They dont listen to you, thats their problem. They have a problem with you, thats their problem.

What is your problem ? Are you being a good person, and how can you focus on yourself.

You're not here to live out a fantasy version of who people want you to be. You are here to be yourself, be authentic, and be a driving force in your own life.

Happy 31st birthday to me💙

I learned that the older you get, the more you treat your own happiness and value as important. As you grow into the experience you've gained over the years. You learn to understand how to show up for yourself when it matters.

This year, I have managed to better myself in varied areas as the focus of 2023, 2024, 2025, has been development. I have been fortunate to have an extremely productive year.

I have been lucky to have trusted allies, support systems, role models, friends, and family. Who has been in my corner. So, it's a birthday, and it's also a day for being grateful.

I look forward to seeing everyone in the next messages.

Thank you to everyone for the birthday day's wishes 😊

High standards are criteria that follow a moral code and set of personal guidelines.

A standard could be that all people will be treated with empathy and respect to support creating a safe space, where the beliefs and perspectives of others are treated with equal value. This provides a context that uses democratic practices to acknowledge and meet the needs of others. Which promotes caring, polite, and respectful interactions that cultivate a sense of belonging.

Another expectation could be that we must create equitable spaces. This requires assessing the perspectives, sociocultural background, and work of others to tailor spaces and situations to the needs of all individuals.

The choices we make affect others in different ways. We can take a humanised approach to people by taking into account their feelings, personal situations, and social contexts. As each person's needs are different, therefore, to make a context or situation equitable, we need to make adjustments that support placing everyone on the same level.

This helps to create equitable spaces by proactively meeting the needs of others. Which helps to mitigate issues and create positive outcomes.

To take a humanised approach, we must be mindful of the well-being of others by assessing how approaches can be best applied to optimise outcomes and act as a safeguard.

The overarching theme to these standards is that one size does not fit all. We have to consider a variety of factors to suit the needs of many, including our own.

A teaching standard could be that the universal design for learning must be used in lessons to minimise barriers and maximise learning outcomes. This teaching framework encourages educators to use multiple ways for students to receive information to help optimise their engagement. This allows for the curriculum to be tailored to students with mixed abilities and varied styles of learning. Which increases their ability to understand the task.

Teachers provide a range of hands-on learning tools to optimise choice. Which encourages students to take ownership of their learning and enchances learner autonomy. As using educational tools help to contextualise their learning and create deeper exploration of the concept. This encourages the motivation to learn, therefore increasing student engagement and the willingness to learn.

Subsequently, this develops their higher order thinking of problem solving, meta cognition, and critical and creative thinking. While also promoting a growth mindset as students are encouraged to engage in challenges by tailoring complex activities to their learning style and ability.

High standards are much more than money. It gives us a sense of direction. The fact is that some do not have high standards in the right areas.

The act of vulnerability is showing yourself in a state of weakness. But it takes "strength" to show that you are not always strong. This turns your weakness into a strength. As you learn to view being vulnerable as a way to connect with others. You learn to show the parts of you that may not always be seen as strongest parts of you.

Being vulnerable and willing to be vulnerable is a sign of strength. It is you taking a humanised approach to people because it shows that you too are a person. This allows others to get close to and share their experiences because they feel safe to do so. This means you have created a safe space where being vulnerable is seen as a strength.

It can be frightening to share your weaknesses, insecurities, and the things you are scared of. But there is a level of transparency, trust, and safety that can be built around the experience. This makes it much easier for yourself and others to express themselves, as they see that you are just like them. Vulnerability is a natural part of the human condition that many try to conceal. But it is a part of people that everyone connects with.

The truth is that not everyone is emotionally intelligent, and this means that you may have a bad experience with sharing yourself with others. This could have created a belief that it's not okay to be emotionally vulnerable. But those people had that same belief and behaviour created in them from the same experience.

Many people find it easy to connect over trivial and meaningless chatter because it's safe. As it doesn't really require them to actually share themselves with others. But when they are on their own with the things they dont discuss. The vulnerability shows that it still lives within them.

I have managed to do another message, which everyone will get down the track. It has been a hectic week for everyone, i am sure.
