Where do you want to be …and with whom?
What do you want to do?
Whatever it is… have faith – whether, or not it’s even been tried before – You can do it… anybody can!
It can be even more enjoyable given a 2nd opportunity to achieve your goal(s). Hold tightly on to your dreams… don’t let anyone steal them under the guise of “helping you see reality”. The mere existence of a desire within you, brings about the possibility of it’s manifestation in the quantum field. It’s not magic!
All one has to do is to do the best you can, with what you’re given… that is, if you are going to be a “success” in any aspect of life. Listen for yourself – to those people who have “made it”. It’s not just the Rich and Famous, or the “Beautiful” people that we hear of… it’s also the “regularJoe” and “Jane” who have accomplished great results. As examples, they are a little harder to find. They don’t necessarily stand out in the crowd because of their lack of notoriety. Yet because of their persistence and determination we often get inspired to go beyond our comfort zone and reach our zenith.
“It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves” Sir Edmund Hillary (1st Man to reach the peak of Mount Everest – tallest point on Earth)
I wanted to be proficient in the martial arts. I knew that I’d never be a “Bruce Lee”, but I had a feeling that I had a “natural” ability for it. Turned out that I was very strong in “kumite” (sparring, or fighting).
What am I saying ? Is all of this simply gibberish? No… the theory is to”make lemonade out of lemons”. If you have not yet reached your plateau of success – for whatever reason – don’t give up… it may only remain unseen for a scant few hours of work, or mere inches away from the gooollllddddd.
Have a listen to the story of my “hobby”…and how the “lost years” make engaging in it once again has brought a “joie de vie” back in my life!








That’s an inspiring story of how you’re standing up to your challenges, Chris!
I love the video

Thank you for your comments and guidance, Mary. I feel that there’s only 2 choices with personal challenges of any kind… either you fold under the pressure, OR …you summon your resolve to overcome it by taking massive action – and NEVER give up!

Thanks so much for the kind words and for your comments, Claire.
You know, I’m very happy that it strikes a chord for some because ultimately, the thing that gives me the most joy in life is helping others move forward – I’m a “teacher” by nature. ON the other side, I have to be honest to say that when you’re “living it” it doesn’t seem so inspiring… it’s more like a “bad day at the office…”
