The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step

“Nothing moves until you move”, that is what Robin Sharma likes to say. Nothing happens until you do something. You are always – all ways – the first cause of whatever comes to you. Often we are reluctant to move towards our goals because we can see the beyond what we can see or evaluate with our five sense. And often base what we can achieve upon what others have done and what we may have done before. But we somehow someway have to be naive of what has been if we hope to achieve something spectacular in our lives. We must dare to be naive and make things happen. The great live out of their imagination and not their memories.

Chained by what is certain you have forfeited freedom. We so frequently spend life on the safe harbour, too afraid to sail out into the sea of the unknown. However, to bring some relief t our days, and make them extraordinary, let us remember what Steve Jobs observed: 

“Again, you cannot connect the dots of your life looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards, so you have to trust the dots will somehow connect in your life. You have to trust in something; in your guts, life, karma, whatever because believing that the dots will connect down the road will give you the confidence to follow your heart, even when it leads you off the well-worn path, and that will make all the difference.

“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way to avoid the trap of thinking of you have something to lose. There is no reason not to follow your heart. And remember that your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice and have courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become.”

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...

MISTY VALLEY

After the weekend on the road to Upington and back,  Monday morning I was off again with my supervisor  to the mountains of  Mpumalanga (meaning "where the sun rises"). Bags were packed and I had made reservation for us to a lodge called Misty Valley Lodge ( I need to mention the name because its an important bit of information to remember.) So the trip was for work purposes. I was heading to the mines to do some process work auditing (if you didn't know, i am an engineer also) My drive from Johannesburg to Mpumalang was sunny, easy and not as long as that one I had taken to go to Upington . A two and a half hour drive and i was near may destination, then the most  bizarre  thing happened. The weather, out of nowhere shifted from bright and sunny to full blown Misty. Yep,  that's  it! I had entered the vicinity leading to MISTY VALLEY LODGE!! Breath taken by the sudden change and the revelation of why its called misty valley (there was nothing ...

LIFE BEGINS ONCE YOU'VE STOPPED DENYING WHO YOU ARE

Your life will begin once you've stopped denying yourself. Life will begin living up to your expectations on the day you have stopped denying yourself. Of course this will greatly depend on the level of awareness you are in. These words will strike the core of those who are seeking an Awakening , and they will go above the heads of those who are still enjoying the slumber and illusion of their reality. Your life will begin once you have stopped denying who you are . This can usually start by accepting those things that you were taught to deny. By accepting who you are on the base level. If you want your life to begin, begin right now to accept yourself, begin to accept yourself to be intelligent even though the schooling system may have taught you to think of yourself of a lesser capability. Begin to accept yourself as worthy, even though your traditions have at times scared you into denying this truth. Begin to accept yourself as gay even though your society has cursed yo...
