Courageously do it when it couldn’t be done

Tuesday, June 24th, 2008

I came across this inspiring poem today and wanted to share it with you:
It Couldn’t be Done

Somebody said “it couldn’t be done,”
But he with a chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn’t, but he wouldn’t be one
Who wouldn’t say so ‘til he tried.
So he buckled right in with a bit of a grin on his face.
If he [...]

The Power of Committment - Take the Jump !

Sunday, January 6th, 2008

Have you ever noticed that once you fully committed yourself to something, things just fell into place ? Why is it then, that we have such trouble committing ourselves to what we really want and instead stay where we are not so happy ? Of course, because of fear, the fear of the unknown. So [...]

Who are you really ? A poem

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

I just came across this inspiring poem about what really matters in a person.
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living,

I want to know if you will [...]

On my latest travel I came across this old touching story (published in Robin Sharma’s book) about the importance (yet unlikliness !) of living your life listening to your heart - as well as your mind.

Today is all you have got ! Make the most of it. So many people are putting up with disatisfactory and unhappy lives in the hope that one day it will all be better. It will be when you find the right partner, the kids have grown up, the mortgage is paid for, [...]

A definition for success ?

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

I just came across Ralph Waldo Emerson’s definition of success (see below) and thought I share it with you as it is a great stimulus material for your own discussion with your friends or coach and further thinking on the matter. Do you agree with him ? To me personally, success is courageously fighting for [...]

Know Thyself

Sunday, August 5th, 2007

We all yearn to improve ourselves in some way. Self help, personal development, and productivity are the buzzwords of the 21st century. Behind all that jargon is a basic search for answers, and a basic search for a higher existence, whether in the form of better achievement or simply greater satisfaction in our lives.
What often [...]

Motivational Truths on the Inspiration of Wisdom

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

There are many ways to arrive at the truth. The phrase “arrive at” is in some way representative of the fact that the great truths and wisdoms of life are arrived at by the seeker, they are rarely handed over or surrendered to them by some one else. But the fact remains that humanity’s greatest [...]
