We play, create and love without holding back. But as we grow, we absorb the messages from other people around us — their thoughts, beliefs and judgements — replacing our instincts with negative false beliefs, fear, and self-doubt. This leads to physical and emotional pain we numb with alcohol or other crutches. We settle for a mediocre life.
This is partly a survival instinct — humans have always needed the cooperation and support of those around them to survive. But accomplishing big things means getting out of your comfort zone and risking failure, as well as subjecting yourself to the ridicule and opinions of others. Is this taking me in the right direction? Think of a movie. One person could leave the theater in stunned tears, transformed, and moved beyond words. Another person could demand her money back because she thought the movie was a load of garbage.
When you break out of your comfort zone you risk the negative opinions of others. Have you had an experience where your big leap or brave action invited ridicule or derision?

Meditation is at once simple and hard. With meditation, start small and work your way up — five minutes is sufficient at the beginning. Meditation will bring you into the present moment. Getting a handle on your thoughts is key to changing your life. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking. Understand that everything you want is available to you; you just have to shift your perception to see it become reality. You do this with your thoughts. But when we reconnect with our inner kid, we can focus on the positives instead of the list of negatives life may have handed us.
When was it, and what were you doing? If you want to attract good things and feelings into your life, you must send good things out to everyone around you.

Because being in a state of gratitude creates such good feelings, it puts you at a high frequency, connecting you to Source Energy, which puts you in a powerful position to manifest more good things and experiences.

Have you ever had that kind of experience? Do her words about being thankful before it happens ring true to you?

Foreign Languages. Website Design. Sandberg includes many examples from her own life, specifically working with Mark Zuckerberg and emphasises the importance of men supporting women in the workplace, and women supporting women.
We all need to lean in. A great read for any working woman or man to expand their understanding of the current working climate. Sandberg identifies a need for more woman to be in leadership roles and she explains the reasons that woman both hold themselves back and are held back.
Sandberg draws upon examples from her own working life, specifically her time working with Mark Zuckerberg. Sandberg makes a real effort to emphasise the importance of men supporting woman in the workplace, and woman supporting other woman. Sheryl Sandberg is the Chief Operating Officer at Facebook and was the first woman to be elected to their board. Zuckerberg actually hired Sandberg after meeting her at a party, he was not specifically looking for a COO but Sandberg fit the bill.
Before joining Facebook, Sandberg graduated from business school and spent time working at Google and was part of the launch of the philanthropic google. Time Magazine included Sandberg in their list of most influential people in and Fortune Magazine listed her as the 5th most powerful woman in business. Multiple studies show that statistically, at school age, girls outperform the boys.
For this reason, Sandberg sees clear evidence that women are entirely capable of taking leadership roles in the workplace, they clearly have the education and the skills required. However, despite clearly displaying the knowledge and skills required, women are often not seen to be in the leadership roles.
There are a few reasons for this but Sandberg believes that girls are not encouraged to take risks or advocate for themselves. And these two characteristics are crucial in developing ones career. Sandberg explains that entry-level jobs are overloaded with women, however, has roles progress, the women seem to drop off and we end up with the overwhelming majority of leadership roles being filled by men.
Even among highly educated professional men and women, more men than women describe themselves as ambitious. Sandberg believes that women are partially responsible for their own under-representation in high-profile and leadership roles. The reason is that they literally hold themselves back and make the decision to stay where they are. Sandberg explains that many women feel as if they are undeserving or unworthy of the top jobs, and in the rare case that they secure one of these positions, they are left feeling guilty and as if there has been a mistake.
Sandberg explains that women are hard-wired to underestimate themselves. Women can be incredibly tough on themselves, and are likely to be kinder to their male colleagues. Studies have proven that women judge their own performances at a much higher standard than necessary and constantly believe that they are doing a worse job than they are.
On the other side of the scale, men constantly perceive their own performance to be better than the reality. Sandberg explains that multiple studies performed in the workplace have expressed that for men, success and likability go hand in hand, they are positively related.
Whereas for women, the two are much less likely to occur at the same time, they are negatively related. And if a woman is extremely likable, she is less likely to succeed. Sandberg explains that this clearly exemplifies one of the main reasons that women hold themselves back, and are held back by others. For a male, he will be liked more and more as he moves through his career reaching more and more success.
Whereas women will have the opposite experience. And in order to avoid being disliked or dissed in the workplace, woman will downplay any achievements or stop striving for more altogether. Let your employer know that you are not going to accept the original offer on this basis, but you are willing to negotiate.
Connecting oneself to a larger group can have a good impact in these situations. However, Sandberg explains that women need to do more than just act communally, they also need to legitimise their request for a negotiation. However, women are expected to provide a legitimate reason. Sandberg recommends explaining that a senior colleague encouraged you to go ahead and request a negotiation.
