Al Weatherhead said, "Your adversity is real. It cannot change. But it can be transformed."
Hows that for telling it how it is, "Your adversity is real". I am finding more and more that if I face a situation head on (write it down even), and then ask how to I get from here to where I want to be, solutions always pop into my mind. Sometimes though it means taking a break and making sure I have something to write on when I'm doing something mundane like the dishes or having a shower. Making it real means your mind gets into action to do something about it.

Following on from yesterday Lee Iacocca said, "If you want to make good use of your time, you've got to know what's most important and then give it all you've got."
When you stop and think, really think, you will know exactly what is really important to do today and everyday. Make a list of those things and launch into them like a bull at a gate.
It amazes me what happens when I do just that - fantastic stuff.

Kathleen Winsor said, "Most people are so busy knocking themselves out trying to do everything they think they should do, they never get around to do what they want to do."
Think about your day so far for a minute. ....... What have you knocked yourself out doing so far today? I've probably been doing the same thing so I'm writing this so that we all stop, think and make sure we do what we want to do before the end of the day.

P.D. Ospensky said, "It is only when we realize that life is taking us nowhere that it begins to have meaning."
Have you asked yourself the hard question; where is my life going? Not the easiest to answer and my direction does change from time to time. But there are overriding values and goals that never change and as long as I stick to them I am on the right course for me.
Do you what your top 5 values are?

Leslie Fieger said, "Any fool can run towards the light. It takes a master with courage to turn and face the darkness and shine his own light there."
This quote really made me think, "Am I shining my light on the darkness?". I feel sure I am sometimes but the light looks awfully warm. Are you shining the light on the darkness and lighting your own path?

The Japanese have a saying: "The nail that sticks out, gets pounded down."
In New Zealand we talk about the "Tall Poppy Syndrome" but I feel sure most of that is in our heads. Yes you might get pounded down if you stick out. But, more often than not you will find others who are sticking out and together you can resist the pounding and get on with building something great.
