Go for it….

If you are passive, indifferent, latergic, you won't reach your potential.

Don't let disappointments make you become half hearted, what you want may be taking longer to achieve but if you stir up that fire inside, you will prevail.

The only one that can stop you, is You.

As a survivor of 7 armed robberies in a banking career and a survivor of mental exhaustion in 2010, I support corporate wellness programmes speaking about the importance of being resilient  and having  grit in meeting personal and business goals.

Learnings.

Life is full of experiences, experiences from which we gain learnings. We learn only if we take the time to slow down and take stock.

In my motivational talks to support corporate wellness program's I help staff to be more mindful in their lives and help them clarify their life purpose in order to reach their personal and business goals.

Happiness

Happiness is inside.

You can't buy it or sell it, wear it or drive it. Lots of people live in poverty and are happy and lots of people with millions are not.

Goals in life are great but the look to the future, happiness can only exist in the here and now.

Morality lost.

Morality lost! , just as they muddy the waters to make it seem deep.

It's been a happy romantic time recently for some of us, Others over the same time have suffered at the hand's of people they have never or will ever meet, who carry out actions as individuals and in business without due care that has a devastating / detrimental effect on other humans.

Morality and Ethics seem to be lost in the general media and social media, Politics, and many other businesses , its what sells or gets votes to hell with the personal cost.

As a leader the same can be said of some managers, in the way they treat their teams - it's why good people leave companies - remember there is more to having morals and ethics in business than just a catchy strapline.

It's time for everyone to step up and take care on how they interact with their fellow humans in every walk of life.

If you're a bully in life and in your business career your time should be just about up. Its time for people to have the courage to speak up.

Visualisation works.

You can have sincere intentions of introducing a new goal in your life, but fate seems against you.

Obstacles of all types can do their best to prevent you from getting close. But there's good news visualisation can help you get on track there's no right or wrong way, just your way.!

9.6 mile evening run around Leopardstown in 1:26 as temps are due to fall again.

Don't hold back, let your imagination run wild you can reach those goals and dreams assisted by visualisation as you rebalance your life. Follow your dreams.

5th Sept 2019 I wrote…

When enough is enough.

In a chaotic, high speed world of schedules, commitments demands and stress there is a yearning for a balance.

7 mile run Wednesday night in 1:02 on a bright sunny yet windy Dublin evening.

Who's driving the bus?

When the walls are closing in and you don't have a clear perspective you need assistance to take a step back. Exercise can help you change the negative from I can't, I have to, I need to to a positive mindset with I can, it's my choice, I don't need to do that.

From a 5k runner to a half marathoner to a marathoner to an ultra marathon runner I am proof taking time out each day to give yourself a life- giving choice while working on a personal balanced plan can change your life both in your personal and Business life.

Write down your goals and follow your dreams.

Life is an Adventure

Life is an Adventure.

It took a while but I can now see life as an adventure to be enjoyed. The experience of being here now is infinitely more enjoyable than being lost in thought about the future.
