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.

An Incredible Feeling

An Incredible Feeling

Quote of the day

‘A spirited Sunday is one where Man and Woman meets Nature under a rainbow of colours. He or she understands that newness is about to spruce and wildlife comes to the surface. It is a moment where you realise that it is time for you to emerge like bulbs of hyacinth, lilies and tulips.’

Like Seasonal changes everything in life must go through a restitution. Today I awoke to such a change. I saw nature open its panoramic curtains to its own personal makeover. I could hear silence and I could feel numbness. It was time for the buds, bulbs and seeds to spruce. It was time for animals to close the curtains to hibernation and open the search for predation as the mice, the squirrels and foxes get ready to start a new cycle. I could feel moulting in the woods, I could sense sniffing in the hedges and I could understand the buzz on the bee. It is was a time for restitution. It was time for nature’s own personal makeover. As I sat in awe, I noticed that there was no flaw in Nature but a distinct flaw in me and perhaps you. It suddenly made me awake to my own restitution. It was time for me to sniff the freshness of Spring and to moult all old habits that I have accrued for so long. It was time for me to remain silent and listen to others weep, sleep and reap. It was time for me to feel my own needs and understand the needs of others. It made me realise that I cannot possibly succeed on my own and that I need 7 billion other people that have similar aspirations to succeed and proceed. This is why I labelled this article as ‘An Incredible Feeling’ for it is incredible to witness Nature in an astonish colours and to hear Nature in amazing sounds. Today is the time for you to greet the wonders of nature and explore the magnificence of life. Today is the time for you to spruce from the cocoon of your inhibitions and build on the wisdom of your composition. It is a time to greet new life from daffodils to tulips, from gladiolus to crocus and from lilies to irises. It is time to acknowledge those wonderful fauna from bees to butterflies, from toads to grass snakes and from swifts to nightingales. Dear Friends, wake up to the sound and harmony of Nature and let the burst of passion and desire enter your daily agenda.

Use Nature to enlighten you

Use Nature to enlighten you

Quote of the day

‘The scent of nature supplements your ascent during the day. Flowers bring out the aroma to inspire you whilst animals create a stoma to motivate you. Hold onto Nature like never before to fire your cylinders and make your day successful.’

Nature is about the creativity of our Heavenly Father who created the flora, the fauna, the landscape, the wildlife, the environment, the oceans, the natural world and the countryside for our daily use and for our pleasure in a twilight of serene delight. The Flora holds the magic of colour and the essence of aromas to neutralise the unpleasantness of by-products mustered up in a single working day and to enlighten you with inspiration to create wonders in your life. Roses brings about enlightening proposes. Violets are like little pilots directing you to your destiny and navigating you away from your adversities. Asters are like the masters of bloom and plume. They entice you to be alive. Carnations are the foundations to build stronger nations. Heather helps you during different types of weather. Iris are totally desirous. Lilies always makes you feel less silly for their hold a unique kaleidoscope of tantalising colours. Geraniums are as priceless as uranium or platinum. Hibiscus looks like colourful jam biscuits so rich with nectar and so vibrant with colour. Lavenders are usually arranged like verandas, each row emitting those distinct lovely scents so soothing and so aromatic. Moonflowers are like little white moons along a dense background of green, reminding us of our evening moon and the stars that surrounds them. Peonies cluster like little ponies showing off their manes and tails in varying hues. Passion Flowers gives you streams of passion and desire to make your day full of fire. Poppies are like copies of each one of us. Every poppy represents a single human being. Like a poppy each human being must be equal and the same. Apple blossoms reminds us of the succulence of nature, the proverbial of our total existence. Like apples, apple blossoms are so vibrant in the flowerbeds of joy and happiness. Cactus plants remind us to constantly practise our skills in order to enjoy our thrills. Dear friends, use the vibrancy of Mother Nature to enlighten your day. Don’t ignore a flower or the bee or the tree or even the flea, they all have a purpose in life, like you and me.

Engage rather than Disengage

Quote of the day

‘The Sun has risen, the moon stays in prison. The stars shine and Mars remain fine. The birds chirp, the bees buzz and the flowers bloom. Roses are yellow for friendship and pink for love. You are here to engage with The Sun, The Moon, The Stars, Mars, The birds, The Bees and the Flowers.’

Life begins with a melody of events starting from dawn and ending in dusk. Life is about living from dawn to dusk. Life is about everything from simple atoms to complex structures like you and me. Life is a challenge for every individual and as The Sun rises it awakens it occupants to meet all challenges. Your life like mine holds a moat of challenges from the least expected to the most anticipated. Life is a dramatic stage filled with renewed props waiting for you to engage in opportunities open for all. As the moon fades into the twilight night workers go to sleep making room for the sound of melody. The tune for the morning is the crow of a rooster, the chirping of birds or the laden freight train that huddles and hurdles along the silent tracks. When these sounds reach your ears on a Sunday morning it is time for you to engage. It is time for you to awaken to 12 hours at least of your spirited time. It is time for you to delve into the majestic melody of nature. It is time for you to engage, to inhale and to manoeuvre your day into one that is gratifyingly good for your senses and for your tenses. It is time for you to disengage from the battlefield of work and from the mine pits of human tension. It is time for you to cherish the wonders of nature in a cocoon of your own desires. It is time for you to embellish the frontiers of your home, of your personality and of your vocabulary. It is time for you to seek the pleasures of life on a day that you are not answerable to the concord or discord of other people. Cherish your day, cherish your life and cherish the birds, the bees and the daffodils. Don’t stamp on the path of the ant or destroy the web of our arachnidan friends. Keep your day like a weekly gift from Almighty GOD and make your growing asset that renews your spirit and brightens your new working week.

‘Beauty in the hands of the Beholder’

Quote of the day

‘Beauty is in the hands of the beholder. From head to toes, from chin to shin, from cell to cell, from ionosphere to the inner core of the Earth, from leave to petal, from animal to the tiny worm there is beauty in the most elegant form.’

Beauty is indeed inspiring. Look at a flower and see beauty in the most flawless of ways. The hues of different magical strokes of the colour spectrum is embraced in a collage of shapes and sizes. Look at an animal that is covered in fur, from a cur to a buffalo bur you shall see elegant stokes of awe and wonder painted in streaks, stripes or various types. This is how you make a month an exciting one. You engage with nature. You engage with the beauty of nature and because you are part of nature you need to admire yourself as well. You must acknowledge that you are indeed beautiful, with a charm that is exquisite. As quaint as the daffodils your loveliness must carry you through each month. You need to float like the butterfly, shine like the Sun, laugh like the hyenas and dance like the dandelions. As much as you are beautiful in your own eyes so is the butterflies, the Sun, the hyenas and the dandelions, without whom there shall be no life on Earth. You need to the attractiveness of your fascination to spark an interest in people around you. You need to embrace life with love and you need to love to live it. You need a certain magnetism to make people know that you are their friends and as much as you need to respect them their need to respect you. Your prettiness is summed up in your good looks. Don’t feel otherwise for you are indeed good looking. This is how you cherish a new month and say farewell to an old one. It is simple you just embrace everything with beauty. Your gorgeousness is reflected by the praise and commendations you receive. Have you not had any in the month of September? If so, then I suggest you look deep into the spectrum of beauty and share beauty with beauty. You need splendour for I regard myself as majestic for I am indeed human. I also regard everyone else as majestic, all 7 billion of us and respect each one as one. I typify magnificence in all its glory for all creatures great or small is as important as you and I. Every day to me is special. I feel radiance in the settings of my surroundings and seek to improve where there is a worsening effect and to perk up the wilted feel of neglect and disregard. I am indeed harmonising. I am getting together people that want to be apart. I want to spread the spectrum of colour throughout the corridors of my existence and to make everyone aware that beauty is in the hands of the beholder. It is hard to say goodbye to a fading month but at least I have captured fond memories of it throughout my daily existence. Love life that is displayed in a spectrum of beauty, do it daily and see how productive each month of your life shall be. Don’t kick a stone out of your way, pick it up, examine it and then place it somewhere where it is belonging. Don’t brush away the cobweb, leave it be. Don’t trample onto the marching ants that mean you no harm, for their all have beauty written all over them. Dear Friends, you are beautiful. I can see it, I can feel and I can appreciate it. Don’t carry a negative feeling into the month of October. Think beauty, be beautiful and appreciate the beauty that surrounds you.
