The Seedling and the Tree – Part 2

The Seedling and the Tree – Part 2

Quote of the day

‘Any change in life be it personal, permanent, professional, recreational, educational or public requires a set period of time assigned to it and a proper understanding of the responsibilities attached to it. Initially, changes may not be seen but after a while, a spur of incredible changes will blow you away. What follows is sustainability and maintainability.’

A spirited welcome to a new weekend and a new day in your life and as we countdown to 2017 I want you to remain spirited. With a genuinely good spirit, you can make changes that will blow you away. Don’t lose hope when changes are not evident. Be patient and then after a certain period of time, you will embrace a period called The Grand Period of Growth, more about this in a later article. As we continue this article we draw the analogy to the seedling and the tree. Success is evident when we look for it. Great success makers like Gates, Buffet and Jobs understood the initial growth period which was slow and did not really flow. However, like the tree and the seedling they knew that the initial phase was the toughest one where hurdles needed to be crossed. The tree spoke to the seedling even though you may think this is bizarre. We must remember that all living organisms do speak to each other. Success in the Universe is evident when we see calm rather chaos or when we witness marvel rather than collapse. Success on Earth is seen when we look at GOD’s amazing creatures that supply us with daily nutrients and life-giving gases. If success is evident in people and in nature, then we need to look no further. If you started a strict diet you will not see results on the first day, actually, you may find that you feel bloated and put on weight. Don’t give up for the tree said clearly to the seedling, everything in life takes time. I still have to grow and meet my adversities every single day. You will be like me if you think like me, act like me and grow like me. Be inspired by what you see, be motivated by positive movements and be aspired by good thoughts and visions that come to you in the form of dreams. Dream of a change be personal or not and then envisage what life will be like for you and for your family. This should build passion and desire in you and ignite the pistons in you to take real and positive action. The seedling already has a vision of the tree next to it, from it learns to grow, to overcome adversities and to understand its purpose. This is your life on planet Earth that has a duration of 100 years. Use it profitably despite any setbacks that you may encounter. Love your life and be inspired by people that are already loving their lives. The seedling is inspired by the tree next to it. In some ways it feels protected, it feels respected, it feels corrected and it feels perfected. Can you imagine how lonely that little seedling would have felt if it was all alone without an ounce of inspiration and a tonne of motivation? Don’t give up on your dreams. Be Patient. Be Enduring and be Tolerant. Do you remember the PET Effect that we spoke about? Have a wonderful and relaxing day. Love your life and live it by expressing love to others as well.

Butterflies – Part 2

Butterflies – Part 2

Quote of the day

‘All things in life run parallel with each other. So, if you stumble in the morning latch onto a parallel analogy and use it to alleviate you from your troubled situation. Butterflies when you feel butterflies within you, the goose and the gander when you feel a noose and slander around you, birds for nasty words, apes for sour grapes, cats for rats and hounds for unusual sounds.’

Welcome to Thursday, the 25^th of August 2016. I cannot believe that I am writing an article to you so soon because it seems like January 2016. Life is fun under the brilliant sun, life can be happy if you avoid being snappy, you need to enjoy your life rather than destroy it. Yes, your life is the most important aspect of your existence. Drawing close analogies with successful individuals helps you overcome stumbling blocks. Like the butterfly we need to fly above our dilemmas and move on to another opportunity. You need to observe your dilemma from a bird eyes view. Look at traffic from above and you will see aggravation, congregation, acceleration, deceleration, desperation, excitation and violation. Look at it from a butterfly’s view and you will see a different perspective. You will discover alleviation, liberation, meditation, calmness and veneration. Like a butterfly that hovers from one opportunity to another you need to move away from the hustle and the bustle of life. Don’t stick to one option but look at other options. Be like the butterfly that flies to the next flower or the next and the next. Look at commuters on a train and you will notice toleration smeared with chauvinism, hesitation wrapped with relaxation and shoving mangled with loving. Become a butterfly for the moment and you can turn discomfort into comfort, lateness into punctuality and incompetence into professionalism. Every species in life go about their daily tasks in a well organised manner. Look at the ants, they will never get up your pants, it’s not their task. Look at the worms, they do not pass on germs, it’s never their task. Look at the snail it never leaves a trail for you to follow, why should it. Each species of life is assigned to a specific task. Like you all tasks need to be accomplished and fulfilled, period. Don’t clash, don’t be brash, don’t crash, don’t splash a pedestrian, dispose of trash in the right way, don’t smash something or be brash at someone. Focus like the butterfly on your given task. Do it, if you did wrong admit it, if you did right commit to it, if you cannot do it, quit it.

‘Do it, if you did wrong admit it, if you did right commit to it, if you cannot do it, quit it.’

Have a wonderful Thursday. Hover over your troubles on the double.
