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.”

THE TRUTH ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING

Positive thinking doesn’t work for most people because of one simple truth and that is – Thinking is a skill. And most people haven’t mastered The Art of Thinking. Just because you can inhale air in an out of your lungs doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to breath effectively, remember how as a  kid when the doctor instructed “breathe in” and you would actually make a whizzing sound when in haling because you wanted to indicated that they are breathing, because you clearly knew there was more to it.  So you see, it actually is a skill. I was inspired to write this article tone because of a post someone had forwarded to me. It said… “…Positive thinking is offered up in the U.S. as a cure for cancer, a path to untold riches, and a sure-fire way to engineer your own success. Indeed believing that success depends upon one’s attitude is far preferable to Americans than recognizing that their success is the outcome of the tilted scales of race, class, and gender. As Eh...

SEASONS OF LIFE

I am at the airport waiting to board a flight going to Mozambique and i had a sudden burst of inspiration.  I believe that for us to work and livean inspiring Life we ought to be in constant awareness of inspiring insight or information. and so as I am about to board an airplane, I want to share with you insights about the seasons. The insight I wish to share comes from Jim Rohn which is about the Four Seasons Of Life (he wrote a book on this subject), and here is the wisdom I got from him. He says: “Life and Business are like the changing seasons” , fairly obvious but also easily forgotten because of its simple nature. But its true, Life is like the changing seasons (the business cycle in economics or entrepreneurship as it is often referred to). After fall comes winter. After winter comes spring. And after spring comes summer. All with regularity and pray tell how often. Is this a reliable way to look a life and business? After night comes day. When the sun goes down a...

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 me...
