REACH FOR THE TOP

We are told that in order to be successful we must always reach for the top.  I say forget that – you do not have to be “on top” to be successful in life.  Does being on top mean that you have fulfilled all that you need to and that you will be happy and content?  I believe that the statement of ‘Reach For The Top’ should be replaced with, ‘Reach For Your Passion’.

What is the difference between – REACH FOR THE TOP versus REACH FOR YOUR PASSION?  The main difference is that you are not putting pressure on yourself when you work towards the goals that you are passionate about.  When you are passionate about what you do in life, whether that is working in a nursery, a retirement home or as a teacher, you will always be successful.

Society puts so much emphasis that having financial freedom means that you have become successful but, as we know, money doesn’t buy health, it doesn’t buy compassion or happiness and it certainly doesn’t buy love.  Success, for me, can be measured in the goodness that you have in your heart and how much of that goodness you can give back into our society.  That is success.  Let others witness your passion and be a beacon of change.  So, don’t reach for the top – reach for what you are passionate about and when you find that passion, give back to the world and let your positive energy flow into the universe.

Together, we can make the world a more positive one!

WORDS TO LIVE BY – FROM CHRIS ASHTON KUTCHER

Life teaches us many things – it’s amazing when others share their lessons and their wisdom with everyone….my favourite part of this speech:

“Everything around us, that we call life, was made up by people who are no smarter than you – and you can build your own life”

Whether you like him or not – his message is inspiring.  Thank you for sharing it with all of us.

NEVER SAY “NEVER”…..

We have all heard the following statements:  “One person can’t make a difference” or “you will never be able to do that”….Most of us will believe someone when they tell us we are not able to accomplish something in our lives – especially if those words come from a figure of authority (doctor, fitness training, teacher, etc.).  There was a time in my life when I believed this to be true, but I don’t anymore.  I have seen and heard stories of so many people overcoming challenges they were told they would never overcome – it’s inspiring.  Here are a few examples:

YOU CAN NEVER BUILD MUSCLE ON A VEGAN DIET

MAN TOLD HE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO WALK AGAIN

FAITH THE DOG (old story but still amazing)

No-one can’t should not tell you that you are not able to accomplish something in your life….only we can make the decision to accomplish whatever tasks we want to ourselves.  If a goal in your life is to lose weight – if you really want to, YOU CAN!  If you want to become self-employed – YOU CAN!  If you want to get off high blood pressure pills – with the proper diet and exercise – YOU CAN!  If you want to create positive change in the world – YOU CAN!

Together we can make the world a more positive one.
