Think Ahead, Look Ahead but don’t Be Ahead

Think Ahead, Look Ahead but don’t Be Ahead

Quote of the day

‘Life is full of surprises. What lies ahead is not known until you meet it. How you meet it, how you greet it, how you treat it, how you defeat it and how you complete lies in what you thought, looked and deciphered from your very own life’s experiences.’

Welcome to yet another day of inspirational content to fire up your mind, body and soul. Waking up to the sound of inspiration can change the course of your day let alone your life. I am so grateful to be given a second chance in life and to live it to the best of my ability. However not every day turns out the way we planned. In most instances it is not our doing but factors that surrounds us. People are the primary cause of our day been ruined. They get in our way and inhibit our progress. Nature can play a violent blow to our day as well from snow storms to sand storms and from heavy rain to thick snow. The economy has a huge impact on all our lives as well. The recent recession speaks for itself. Companies closed down and people become redundant. Interest rates soared and so called usurious loan companies got richer. Thinking ahead, looking ahead and avoiding being ahead can help you immensely from life’s strenuous moments. What helps me to have an accomplished and fulfilling day is that I always think ahead, look ahead and try not to be ahead. This simple but effective method has helped me maintain a relatively accomplished and fulfilling day for the past 20 years. Thinking ahead is about visualising what might happen not just about the subtle events of tomorrow but also about your future. Thinking ahead is usually based on previous experiences in life. Usually if something hurt us we need to think ahead of not getting hurt again. We need to look at the pitfalls of our previous experiences and learn to avoid making the same mistakes again. Thinking ahead is also about goal searching. How long will my goals take to achieve? What problems will I encounter along the way? Did I face similar problems before? Looking ahead is equally important. Most of us take things for granted and don’t always look ahead to ensure our safety is first and foremost. If you landed on Mars as part of the first human crew in 2030, would you look ahead before you took the first step? On Earth we take for granted that the road meanders ahead of us and that the Bus Stop is in use. This is not always the case and usually lands us into a spot of trouble. Looking ahead does makes me prepared. To be ahead is not the prescription to success because it entails a certain degree of competitiveness. Competitiveness usually creates rifts between people or companies. You are here on planet Earth for a valid and valued purpose. There is no need to rush, all we have to aim for is to do our level best to have an accomplished and fulfilling day. Looking ahead or thinking ahead is a learning process and as you become experienced in such a sector of your life you need then need to pass your skills onto your children or to your employees. A special meeting or assembly at home or at work to outline basic skills in life will enhance your living and working experience. What lies ahead of you is not known until you meet it. How you meet it, how you greet it, how you treat it, how you defeat it and how you complete it lies in what you thought, looked and deciphered from your very own life’s experiences.

‘Reflecting in March, correcting in April 2015.’

‘Reflecting in March, correcting in April 2015.’

Quote of the day

‘Reflections are personal forms of meditation. It is a thought process echoing into the corridors of time rebounding as thoughts and consideration for the future. Where did I go wrong, what shall I do, when can I start all over again are some of the common reverberations.’

To make a new month a better one we need to reflect on the previous month, extrapolating our misdemeanours and try to overcome them by doing better. March 2015 has been a successful month for me despite various setbacks, I hope and pray that you feel the same. I felt accomplished and fulfilled at the end of each working week in March and enjoyed my weekends to the best of my ability. I need to improve on this. I need to search for new challenges in April and to tackle them to the best of my ability. Reflections of March 2015 can only be visualised with a clear mind. Therefore we need to meditate with reference such as our memos or journals to assess how well we did and how unwell we did. Thinking intensely on the rights and wrongs of a previous month helps to make a new month stronger and more productive. April 2015 is a festive and religious month. There is a lot happening around the world. Therefore we need to bury the past misdemeanours and hold onto significant lessons that we may have learnt from. My ten most profound inspirational anecdotes for March 2015 to help us in April are listed as follows:

1. There is no real need to rush. There is no rush to become successful. To become successful is always a learning curve.
2. Perform your daily agenda with love and say it with love. Exercise your love to the outside world with energy from within yourself.
3. Without the right source of energy or in other words without any passion and desire the correct action to perform work will never manifest.
4. Life is so animate but yet we remain so inanimate. Life is so filled with opportunities but yet we take the wrong ones. Please review this carefully.
5. As you walk across the unstable footbridge of life in April I want you to hold my hand and follow me with confidence to sparkle your day.
6. Use Nature to enlighten you like a candle that lightens the path for you to walk on and the person for you to talk to in confidence.
7. What becomes of tomorrow is what we set up to do today. Good actions always yield satisfactory results.
8. Your working life is based on your working ability. Work hard and diligently and you shall reap the benefits of a stress-free weekend.
9. The greater are your needs the greater are your responsibilities. Choose wisely and live brightly.
10. Each day should eclipse bitter memories from past occurrences and each new day should open vast chambers of opportunities for you.

Reach out for tomorrow like never before and capture the opulence of The Universe into the palms of your hands. With understanding and lessons learnt from the previous month take on a task that is pertinent to your needs, accomplish it and then move on to the next. Don’t take on more than you can chew. Whatever you do make sure you do it with passion and desire. Reflecting on the past is a personal form of meditation. It is actually a thought process echoing into the corridors of time and rebounding as new thoughts and consideration for the future. Where did I go wrong, what shall I do, when can I start all over again are some of the common reverberations. Such reverberations urges you to correct them in the future.
