“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and channeled towards some great good.” Brain Tracy

Predictors – Helping to mold our future

Reminders – That we cannot succeed alone

Opportunities – Let us stop to make step changes

Blessings – Oppening up oppertunities that we would have missed

Lessons – Preparring us for the future by creating a learning experience

Everywhere – Remember life is not a fairytail and all of us do encounter problems.

Message – Warning light to be aware of possible dangers

Solvable – To all problems there are most probable different solutions

Be yourself…

Be Yourself, No Matter What..

There was this man who saw a scorpion floundering around in the water. He decided to save it by stretching out his finger, but the scorpion stung him. The man still tried to get the scorpion out of the water, but the scorpion stung him again. Another man nearby told him to stop saving the scorpion that kept stinging him. But the man said, “It is the nature of the scorpion to sting. It is my nature to love. Why should I give up my nature to love just because it is the nature of the scorpion to sting?”

Some thoughts:

Too often we don’t realize
what we have until it’s gone.
Too often we wait too late to say
“I’m sorry – I was wrong.”

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
we hold dearest to our hearts.
And we allow foolish things
to tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
unimportant things into our minds.
And then it’s usually too late
to see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
how much they mean to you.
Take that time to say the words
before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
everything you’ve got.
And be thankful for the
Little things in life…that mean a lot.

Influence

admin — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 18:08:54 +0000

One of the key competencies towards success is the ability to influence people and systems.

One of the basic pre-suppositions in NLP is the person with the most flexibility will control the system. This does not mean that one need to give up one’s values as that will compromise one of the key components of influence and that is trustworthiness.

To be seen as trustworthy and to influence one need to practice the CCC:

Competence: Having the ability to make the right decisions, by understanding the impact on the system.

Character: Having a character of abundance, acting with integrity and being honest. This also means that one need to be vulnerable to be true to oneself but also to the people one interact with.

Connection: The ability to really care about other, to be there for your people and the ability to really understand the concerns of people and to sell the new vision to people.

Life is a daring adventure…

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller

Lam van God

admin — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 09:30:20 +0000

Lam van God,

vandag staan ek met nuwe verwondering

voor die grootsheid van U

verlossingsdaad.

Dat U vir my gesterf het,

laat my hart van dankbaarheid oorloop.

Dat U vir my opgestaan het,

vul my met oorstepte vreugde.

En die wete

dat U elke dag saam met my leef…

dit, Here Jesus, gee aan my vrede oor die

verlede, gemoedsrus in die hede

en ‘n heerlike vervulde

toekomsverwagting.

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”

Goethe

Doing must be part of being, doing what is important, doing what is our passion, to kindle the fire of the soul.

The mind

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.
