JUST CHILL!!! ~ Max Simon

There's something really challenging that happens when your life, your identity and your focus is always on the "next big thing", you stop enjoying and appreciating where you are right now. You become so focused and obssessed on getting some place else that you never give yourself permission to just be okay with your life and situations right in this moment.
"Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it." 
~ William Feather
In this life it is important that you cultivate a fuel source that essentially says, "l am having a blast creating this big vision as I go." By focusing too greatly on the future and forgetting the present, you are setting yourself up for disappointment by postponing your happiness. You deserve to be happy and fulfilled right now. Nothing new or different needs to happen for you to realise that your life is meaningful and purposeful right now. And that awareness has nothing to do with your actions in the world or what you accomplish. It has to do with you seeing the truth. You recognising that who you are right now is good enough, is perfect.
Begin to see and feel that now, so that you can enjoy your creative journey as you go, instead of waiting for something to happen in order to feel okay. Because the reality is, you can become the most successful person in the world but if you don't enjoy each moment of the journey, it won't make any difference. I know many fear that, "Well, if I become satisfied with what I already have now, I will lose drive." But the truth is the better you feel about your life, the easier it is to automatically develop a stronger desire to serve and support you new and better vision for it.. So be happy now! It is a choice.

Business 101: Becoming an Investor.

What is one of the key disciplines that any successful corporation practises? INVESTING. Every business relies on investing for success, and for the incredibly successful businesses they invest like crazy; in R&D, and product lines. Heck, even our own economy relies on investors in order to grow. So why not be an investor. Probably the first and almost immediate objection to this suggestion is "I don't have money to invest." And I for one, am completely in agreements with that. However, why not invest the one resource that you always have at your disposal - TIME . That's right. Invest your time. Ah, suddenly it seems so obvious now doesn't it, but would you like to guess on how many people actually overlook this important fact? (By the way, this is can well be a lecture on time management). And since all investment have the dominant factor of Time in them, why not begin by turning your focus on this one incredible resource and use it to your personal investmen

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted mediocrity to be the order of our generation's existence?  

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi.  How often have you had the thought of changing the world? If you are anything like me, I have it more often than I have a glass of warm milk with cookies (okay that’s wacky...anyway). Or maybe it is something more like,” how can one act make a difference?” but all to often for many people another thought creeps in, “Who am I? I am just a small drop in the ocean.” (see the picture on the left) Or, “It takes a really special, gifted, and powerful person to even think of changing the world. And “ I am neither special nor gifted, let alone powerful.” If you think you are too small to make a difference, try going to sleep with the mosquito in the room" ~ Dalai Lama Like me, you’ve probably have looked at legendary people who are making it and thought, “what is it that they have that I don’t or lack.” And the answer is – they have the conviction that they can make a difference; that they are an immense and integral part
