The book of my life continues to be written everyday with new experiences and new opportunities to creatively problem solve presented all the time.
I believe in God the Creator, so I start everyday with a prayer that I heard once that is very powerful and it goes like this:
"Thank you for today Lord, it's a new day and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Father, I know for sure you reward those who seek you and so I thank you in advance for your blessings, mercy and kindness in Jesus name - Amen"
That is what prepares me for the day ahead. That is what kick-starts my day with a guarantee that it'll be better than I think possible in more than one way.
My "claim to fame" is that while in 9-5 jobs I was never, ever given a promotion. Ever. It wasn't because I wasn't any good but I never waited long enough. My spirit was always seeking something newer and fresher.
It was through a close relationship with a mentor at the time that I discovered that i wasn't cut out for a 9-5 lifestyle. And in 1995 I decided to follow my heart and got started in freelance Personal Development and Communications skills training.
"The rest" as they say "... is history!"
Now many years later on I'm still following my dreams and passion specializing in personal development, business improvement, coaching and mentoring.
I believe that one day I'll have the opportunity to share the stage with each of the following personal development legends:
- Les Brown
- Victor Hansen
- Tony Robbins
... so Les, Victor and Tony, when you read this you'll know what to do!
Have a great day, whatever you do after reading this.
