In his or her life each person can take one of two attitudes, to build or to plant.

Builders may take years over their tasks, but one day they will finish what they are doing.

Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls. Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished.

Those who plant suffer the storms and the seasons and rarely rest.

Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing.

And by its constant demands on the gardener’s attentions, it makes of the gardener’s life a great adventure.

From Brida by Paulo Coelho.

Hmmm…well said.

On the path of life, when doubt occasionally raises its head, remember who you are and just keep on walking.

A MOMENT OF REFLECTION: Have you found yourself wondering if, perhaps, there is more you could be doing? Something more meaningful and engaging? Or closer to the point, something that more reflects who YOU have grown into over the years? Need some help getting there? Perhaps I could be of assistance.

All things at first appear difficult. Chinese proverb.

Whatever your dreams or aspirations, whether they are personal or professional, it’s always good to remind yourself that nothing you do in life that has any real value ever comes easy. There always seems to be something…

It’s at those “something times” that you need to work especially hard at staying positive. Draw up a targeted list.

Mindful of the fact that if there is something you want, if it’s not written down, it’s not a goal. It is only a wish.

Hang out with positive people. Step up your exercise regime. Eat right. Sleep right. Regularly write out your thoughts and objectives. Make a note of the progress you are making – and what you still need to do.

All things at first appear difficult, sometimes even impossible. But if you’re being honest and doing the work, the future and success (what ever you’re doing, however you’re measuring it) will arrive on schedule.

There will be days when you wonder how you are going to make it all happen. It won’t be easy.

But, hey!

Who ever said it was going to be easy.

Throw your dreams into space like a kite and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. Anais Nin.

Wherever you are on your journey, there are no yesterdays. Keep focused on today for what you do today will, to a large extent, determine what your future looks like.

It’s always about your attitude.

And your courage to keep learning and evolving.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected. 

I hope to see you back here soon. As always, thank you for reading me.

Be yourself. Everybody else is already taken. Oscar Wilde.

There’s a new year knocking on the door.

In spite of the cynics and pessimists, there are good things going on all around us and amazing initiatives in the works.

All over the globe, there are people like you, thoughtfully doing their best everyday for themselves and others, refusing to give into the greed, lies, fake news and all the social media madness.

They are special, these people.

In spite of it all, they have made an active choice to stand up what for they believe in and, to that end, continue to work towards a better world.

Not blindly, but rather with a hard-earned experience and unfailing optimism, they embrace the new year and celebrate another chance to get it right.

Hmm..
