Be courageous and follow your dream.
A novel idea
Here's a novel idea.
On Friday stop and take stock. Look at all you have to be grateful for, you may not have to look too far.
Take time out to celebrate goals you have smashed and be proud of yourself.
8.1 mile run as I continue my back injury recovery every step is a success.

So i’m a story teller eh!
So I'm a story teller, should I apologise?
6.8 mile run in 1:06 in drizzly Dublin night continuing recovery on back injury.
In supporting your corporate wellness program I can tell the story of how I survived 7 armed robberies in a banking career, suffered mental exhaustion in 2010 working 84 hrs a week, how no one should fall into that trap and how you can survive and thrive in the future.
I put my pieces back in a different way, I run ultra marathons to raise funds for charity and I reach back and bring someone up by mentoring in business.
If you would like me to support your wellness program reach out to me through my website bjkennomotivation.com

Recommendation for BJ
Wow, I am honored to have such a recommendation to share from Ronan Ó Byrne Prof banker, thank you for the recognition as an operational manager, as I work towards finding a new opportunity in September when I leave UB and for my motivational speaking through bjkennomotivation I am truly humbled. Thank You.
"Brian and I both work for Ulster Bank, whilst we work in the same organisation we are in different areas. Brian & I are connected by our love of running and we run together regularly.
Brian is a very experienced Operations Manager & a go to guy for problem solving .He uses not only his many years of experience across different companies but his ability to deal with people in a positive and professional way.
In recent years Brian has both shined a light on campaigning for Good Mental Health in the workplace but also shone brightly himself when he shares his own personal journey of mental exhaustion from work. I have attended Brian’s wellness talk many times and have learned something new each time.
Brian is passionate, humble, honest and approachable and I believe every workplace should have a Brian Kennedy in the role of Mental Health Champion i.e. someone who has walked the walk & therefore can talk the talk".
Ronan O Byrne Prof, Banker Regulatory Affairs
Easy past!
Strong people rarely have an easy past.
I want you to know the present time is the only time that matters, the past is over and the future has not yet happened and if you slow down take stock you can achieve your goals and your dreams.
Life experience teaches us lessons, "Be Teachable".
Follow your dreams

Have a laugh today
Take some time out for a laugh.
Somebody somewhere will find the path to my crooked smile, to be the only map they need. And my laughter will be the song they sing back to me

Happy Monday.
Who do you say I am?
Who do you say I am?
A famous question asked of an infamous group of 12 long ago.
It's a question many people find themselves searching for the answer in their business life - what do you think of me? Am I worthy? Should I go for the promotion? , should I change career?.
Too many times the answer is accepted in a business review meeting that refers to the negative points in a period of time, areas for development that will do nothing to build self esteem or overall confidence for the future in general.
If you work with me through bjkennomotivation I can help you take time out to understand who you really are and define your values which will help you move forward in your business and personal life with clear goals.
It doesn't matter what people say about you or think about you, you row your own boat in this life which will be great if you are true to your values.

Worry
Worry is a thief, it will rob you of all your joy and creativity and your sleep at night.
You don't make good decisions when you worry and if you allow it, it will keep you from your destiny.
It is usually the negative thoughts that come first in our minds and on those we dwell.
If you can slow down and try to guard your mind through mindfulness, you will start to experience more positive thoughts that will give you the opportunity to stop trying to solve problems that will never happen.
Once you are doing your best you have nothing to worry about.
Follow your dreams.
