Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare once wrote, "People cannot go wrong, if you don't let them. They cannot go right, unless you let them."

I give people enough leeway and responsibility to let them go right and hope they don't go wrong too often. But when they do, and they do, I trust they will learn and only do that mistake once.

The same of course applies to me.

Betty Smith said, "Look at everything as though you were seeing it either for the first or last time."

Most people would say the first time you look at something is the most amazing but what about the last time. If you weren't going to see a sunset again, how amazing would that last one look? If you weren't going to see your loved ones again how much passion would you have?

Start looking like that today. Don't wait. The world looks completely different.

Dan Heist said, "When you realize you've made a mistake, make amends immediately. It's easier to eat crow while it's still warm."

Sorry for the late minimotivator. Just realised I hadn't written it and immediately jumped online. Hope I catch a few of you to let you know you did great this week and to take a break this weekend, or on the way home by just sitting in silence. I turned my phone on silent, the car radio off and drove home with only my thoughts. Arrived home relaxed and ready for the weekend.

R.D. Laing said, "Madness need not be all breakdown. It may also be break-through."

I'm feeling quite manic at the moment. As I type this I have a million things to do and I'm thinking I'm going crazy. But I know that if I can hold it together and get my tasks done something big is going to happen. You might be feeling the same way too. Let me know so we can all share in the break-through.

Mark Twain said, "You can't depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus."

Is your imagination out of focus? I'm not sure how I would know but I feel sure if you can't see dragons or Kiwi's or pirates or parrots, when you look at the clouds, you need to refocus your imagination. Read some fantasy or sit with a kid for 15 minutes and ask them what they see. When you can see it too I feel positive your imagination will be back in focus.

Someone once said, "Present your family and friends with their eulogies now - they won't be able to hear how much you love them and appreciate them from inside the coffin."

Without your friends, family, colleagues and team mates life would be boring. I have had a very interesting day today and it's those kinds of relationships that make the day easier when life's a little rough. Tell those people how much you appreciate them, watch them smile, watch them beam and catch the light. It's great.

Joseph Campbell said, "The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure."

What is your idea of an adventure? Mine is every day life with the odd big thing thrown in. That might sound boring but I say yes to my adventure every day and it makes whatever I'm doing much more exciting.
