Impossible

Nothing is impossible. Seeing something as not possible means that you are making something more important than your desired outcome.

New beginnings and new friends

So I met up with an acquaintance, BL, for coffee on Saturday. A quick coffee, he says, 'cause we are both busy. I agree, a brief catch up will be good.  Interestingly, I don't really know BL that well. We've chatted a couple of times on the phone, and we are in the same leadership group. Something tells me this is going to be an interesting coffee, and I like the feeling of taking a risk. I see myself as someone who pushes boundaries, and know the importance of the "inner circle" to keep me focussed and on my game. But sometimes, I get lost with my inner conversations, and lose focus. Socialising with people who are going places, the ones who are hungry, who want to have their cake and eat it too, and aspire to live life at the top, is probably the best way I know of keeping my eyes on the prize. I just didn't know that BL was one of them. So two and a half hours later, after discussing health, over working, business strategy and mindset (among other thi...

Forget what you know, to see what is there

Take off. The power that is generated to hurl a rocket into space and escape the gravity of the earth is phenomenal. It was always considered impossible, but it has now been done. Many times. Some say arrogance, some say inspiration. Who cares if the motivation for some pioneers of space flight was arrogance.  When I see a huge metal bullet packed full of jet fuel hurtling through the sky and away from the earth, I am so inspired. This thing that I am totally connected with, that I live and breathe each and every single day, is no longer a constant. It is no longer the only thing that I can understand and comprehend. In that, thee is immense power and untold clarity. They say that the fish is the last to understand the water that it swims in. That is because it has no reference for the context, and there is nothing to contrast it with. Thus it believes that the water is constant. Now I look to the sky, and it is not an untold story. It is now within my reach. And ...
