Go Make Ruckus – By Seth Godin

November 6, 2017 No Comments

I thought I would share this with you. Go Make a Ruckus – written by Seth Godin You Are Not Your Career. Your ability to follow instructions is not the secret to your success. You are hiding your best work, your best insight, and your best self from us every day. We know how much you care, and it’s a shame that the system works overtime to push you away from the people and the projects you care about. The world does not owe you a living, but just when you needed it, it has opened the door for you to make a difference. It’s too bad that so much time has been wasted, but it would be unforgivable to wait any longer. You have the ability to contribute so much. We need you, now. – Go make a Ruckus

Guidance in Your World 2017

September 14, 2017 No Comments

When I am unsure of what I must do, send my teachers and mentors to place the lessons before me so that I can learn, understand and grow in this world. Encourage me to stay in the moment and reflect on what I must do next. Guide me in goodness only and circle my life in the light of the heavenly stars. Guide me so that I take from this earth only what I need. While I am here, my purpose is to do good and deliver to this world something special. Let me not forget my curiosity and laughter as a child. Guide me with kindness and to always have my heart open. Let me not worry about my next life for it is the lessons of this life I must learn. Before I go let me teach others the knowledge that I gain so that they can understand and receive guidance to the next. If I fail, let me learn under your guidance to keep trying until I succeed.

I had the opportunity to read this the other day and thought I would share it. “The breezes at dawn have secrets to tell you Don’t go back to sleep! You must ask for what you really want. Don’t go back to sleep! People are going back and forth across the doorsill where the two worlds touch, The door is round and open Don’t go back to sleep!” Jalaluddin Rumi

What a beautiful piece Jellaludin Rumi, is a 13th Century Persian poet – often referred to as ‘Rumi’ The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes as an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they are a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still, treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice. meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whatever comes. because each has been sent as a guide from beyond.

When we are looking for red bricks we start to see them everywhere. Now that I have finished writing the final version of ‘The Savvy Child Within You’, I start to see more writings on the concept to listen to your inner self. Extract from ‘How to Think like Leonardo da Vinci’ – Michael J Gelb Bring more attention to your everyday hunches and intuitions. Try writing them down in your notebook and then checking your accuracy. By monitoring your daily intuitions, you hone their accuracy. Cultivating an accurate, reliable inner guidance system requires listening to your body. Comments such as “My gut tells me otherwise,” I just know it in my bones’” I can feel it in the pit of my stomach,” and I know in my heart of hearts that it must be true” reflects the body-cantered nature of intuition.

“The five senses are the ministers of the soul” – Leonard Da Vinci Da Vinci’s gaze allowed him to capture exquisite and unprecedented subtleties of human expression in his paintings.

Fix Your Course to a Star

May 24, 2017 No Comments

From the book ‘How to Think Like Leonardo da Vinci’ – by Michael J Gelb ‘The most carefully crafted strategies rarely work out exactly according to plan. But the best improvisers do not just “wing it” they start with a well-made plan and then adapt gracefully to changing circumstances. You are the captain of your own ship, but you can’t control the weather. Sometimes life brings us smooth sailing; other times we get squalls, hurricanes, and tsunamis. Leonardo counselled, “He who fixes course to a start changes not.” Fix your course to a star, and be ready to navigate through storms and around uncharted icebergs.’
