"Every person has a Personal Purpose. Achieving it leads to a life of contentment. Not achieving it leads to mere existence" said Writer Mark Woodman at the turn of the millennium.
According to him, many people go through life without getting to know what really motivates them. They never really believe that they are special and that they have the right and ability to strive after a life of happiness and contentment.
" 'Purpose is the key element that leads to realising that life is worth living'. A Life with Purpose is a life worth living, because having Purpose creates a feeling of belonging, of worth, and being special" eloquently Woodman puts it.
As we begin the Women's Month (August), how many members of the 'fairer sex' still recall "that Bitch in Black" from the television show The Weakest Link?
Love her or hate her, she offers the kind of practical solutions that can help women find their authenticity and climb their ladder to the top.
We are talking here about Fiona Coyne, the author of " Who Moved My Ladder? the working woman's guide to success".
'Who Moved My Ladder' spells out in no uncertain terms why so many apparently confident, poised women are taking strain and struggling to find contentment and success.
Coyne spells out who and what is impending the working women's progress both personally and professionally.
"If we hope to make positive changes in our lives we have to know what it is that needs changing, and we can't know that until we know ourselves" advises Coyne.
Addressing powerful Durban women in business last week, Business Partners Executive Director Gerrie von Biljon reminded all the proffessional women about the pivotal role they were playing in shaping the country's economy.
"The role of women in business can never be over-estimated. The business world has changed. Economic conditions were changing but businesswomen are riding the storm because the fully understand that 'bad weather never lasts'. I implore every woman leader to use their imagination and take things as normal despite the dire economic challenges" cautions von Biljon.
ABSA Regional Head of Transactions & Deposits Ms Desree Blackburn has also advised the working women about how to manage their future in the economic downturn.
"Being a professional woman myself, I have witnessed several women that were quite adept at managing their personal finances and that proves the pivotal role we can play in our country's economic growth" noted Blackburn.
Lstly, but not least, another powerful women Writer I will recommend for every womanto read is Sheila Walsh.
Walsh is the author of the life-enhancing book titled; 'Life is Tough, but God is Faithful - How to See God's Love in Difficult times'.
Here we are dealing with a professional woman whose life's perspective was altered by the contagious illness of her mother-in -law who suffered in cancer.
