Find your love...
I have never claimed to be a
romantic nor one who has a clue about the ethics of love and relationships.
However, if you asked me, to make a statement or give you a definition of
'Love' , I would puff out my chest, I would straighten my back and in my most
Shakespearian accent [just to make it sound a little bit more romantic and
powerful] I would utter this profound statement "...I have no
clue".
I once read an article, which
said, if you can define Love, you clearly don’t know what it is! Love is not
something we understand, its portrayed and exemplified in various way, by
various people.
I witnessed my brother getting married this weekend and to be honest, it really touched the eye watering nerve. To stand and witness two couples gaze lovingly into each others eyes and seem to get carried away into their own little magical world of private jokes and giggles as they held hands in from of their audience. "You are now husband and wife" said the vicar...and they couldn’t even wait for him to say you may now kiss the bride... Bliss! Do NOT give up on the idea of LOVE and companionship. Cherish and nuture your relationships!
Many of us have witnessed or
been involved in what we may refer to as tragic relational experiences, however
I would like to encourage you not give up on idea of love and
companionship... as Sara Dessen states “There is
never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat,
in a single flashing, throbbing moment.” For those who have experienced
love or are currently in love, I am sure you would agree that it has the
ability to ...make you so vulnerable. "It opens your chest and it
opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you
up." (Neil Gaiman) However, this is the risk we are willing to take for
the possibility of attaining the greater picture of life long companionship or
marriage, happiness and fulfilment.
Be willing to
be vulnerable...thats the moment where you are able to give everything you
are in order to make your relationship work. We all know relationship can
be a daunting exercise, however, they can also be a source of inspiration,
support and a shoulder to cry on.
Alfred
Tennyson once quoted “Tis better to have loved and lost, than never to
have loved at all.”
Find your
love

Become a 'Visionary'
Become a 'Visionary'
Wonderful morning…!
Is there a difference between a vision and a goal?
It took me a while to realise there is, it’s a very small degree in variation but huge effect on the outcome. It sets the absolute successors apart from the average ‘good job, well done guy’!!
Of course it is imperative that goals need to be made, action needs to be taken and a learning process needs to be a result. Nevertheless becoming a visionary is the next stage to greatness it is at the point where you can visualise your goals literally, laterally figuratively; almost in every way shape and form, you have to step into the goal and analyse how it will affect the world around you. You have to have it completely clear in your mind how it will affect the people you love and every aspect of your environment. The more times you allow yourself to view your dreams and your life in this way the more of a visionary you will become; the more greatness you will achieve.
James Dyson, Brian Schmidt, Maria Sharapova, Steve Jobs; all great visionaries from our generation; in their fields; of our time.
There is almost a beautifully disturbing trait in which they all share, the ability to ‘tunnel vision’ not only having the ability to do that BUT also to achieve that pioneering visionary mind-set under immense pressure. Most people will begin to create stories and excuses in their mind; this is futile. They are not aware that as a result they will begin to trick their brains to believe that these stories are true. It will ultimately hold you back and shield your focus from reality; “everything is possible when vision is applied”
Jordan Belfort couldn’t have explained it better when he said, “being a great visionary is having the ability to manage your state”….
Now, what did he mean? It is something that we all have an issue with from time to time. The ability to manage your emotional state will determine the magnitude of how successful the outcome of your vision will be. You have to be able to control your emotions at any one time in order to align the correct emotion to a situation. It is one thing that the entire great visionary elite will identify to you NEVERTHELESS once mastered you can be unstoppable.
So lets take the time to focus on becoming a visionary, leave the distractions behind you, become a student of emotion manipulation and start today on the journey of your dreams; no one will do it for you!
Have a fantastic week….good luck
