My wish is for you to have a Happy Monday.
It is almost unbelievable that we are already half way through 2015 and soon we will be staring at a new year. One of the scary things that many of us face is for a year to end and when we take an audit there is basically nothing to show that we accomplished during the course of the year.
I am happy to report that some of the goals that I set for 2015 are still on track to be achieved, some are ahead of schedule and there are those which will just not get done this year. I make mention often of the uncontrollable factors in life and that they do affect our plans. There are glimmers of things that were outside of my imagination happening this year also.
A bit of advice that I have been given is to celebrate milestones. This is not to become conceited and beat my chest, massage my ego, or pat myself on the back but it is to reaffirm that the seemingly impossible things can be achieved. A number of small achievements also when grouped can be substantial. These small achievements sometimes provide the motivation to move forward. Achievements should also be celebrated because of the uncertainty of life. It is never fair for some else to gain the benefits of your hard labor.
For the persons that have not yet begun working toward achieving your goals for this year it is never too late to begin. Start with some small ideas. It is not everyone that can envision something grand and devote the time and energy to achieving their goal. Sometimes in life the intent is for us to make effort and not to achieve goals. It is good also to remember that there are short term, medium term and long term goals.
Our greatest asset lies in our ability to think and our greatest mistake this year could eventually be that we allow all our thoughts and ideas to go to waste.

My wish is that for you it has been a Happy Monday.
One of the great things about humankind is that we are subject to inspiration and this lead to the desire to create. Our world gets even more exciting because these bright flashes of inspiration are being utilized as more and more people grasp the concept of I can do it.
The great thing about all of this is that creativity lies in every one of us and every century and every generation need its inventors and creators to leave their mark on history. Another great thing is that culture, age, sex, religion or any other factor does not affect our our ability to be creative but the tools that we need lies within us. The world is being led in technological advances by the young but it is the more mature that is really utilizing these advances.
The next great thing is that inspiration does not come as a result of our own will most times. However we have to learn to recognize when inspiration happens and make use of the creative instinct. Some persons cannot wait on inspiration to act but of necessity must continuously practice. Other persons must be careful not to let opportunity pass by or ignore those flashes of brilliance when they occur.
I am encouraging you to grasp one of those bright spark this week and work on it.

Try something new
Life does not disclose its alternatives and this gives freedom to enjoy the choices that we make in life. It is okay to do something and laugh at your own audacity.It is often the really tough times in our lives that yield the best results. Fear and uncertainty love tough times and they are always present to make life more difficult. The brave face their fears.
One of the interesting things in life is that many persons sets worthy goals and work toward achieving their goals and somewhere near the finishing point depression set in and they abandon their pursuit. This make it very important to continually review, remind and enjoy the pursuit of our goals. A goal that is achieved with little effort being put in was simply a waste of time and was not worth the pursuit of the mind. A goal the causes much failure and stretches the imagination is worthy of being pursued.
Whichever you and I take life there will be challenges. Even when the easiest paths are taken there are uncontrollable circumstances and situations. Challenges help to make us strong.
The thing to do this week then is to try something extraordinary and unexpected. try one of the crazy schemes that you have been putting off for some time. It is true that you will not know what will happen if you don't do but there could be a world of benefits if you do.
