Inspiration takes many forms

Inspire me with a word or phrase and I am charged with passion with my next project. Inspire me with your kindness and heart, it will be mirrored in my actions as I move ahead. Inspire me in a way that takes away my breath and I will will forever burn brightly with motivation as I aspire to make such an impact on another soul in order to help them feel the way I do. Inspiration comes in so many shapes and forms that we often do not even understand all the reasons we are inspi

See positivity in darkened days

Sometimes along my journey I feel that my path is crowded and bustling with all kinds of options, interests and people. I can feel the peoples excitement and enthusiasm for all the dreams they want to share and even the ones that are hidden. Colours exploding in a festival of hope and glory as I literally glide along the path. But of course every high must be balanced in the world with a low, that is the universal law. So sometimes my path is lonely and quiet. I no longer fee

You are never too old to start something new

I had a discussion with someone recently, where I have to say I whole heartedly disagreed with them. I love to see different peoples opinion and learn about what makes people tick. The discussion surrounded the idea of ‘It’s never too late to learn something new.’ I personally still harbor many ambitions of things I want to learn, places I want to visit and experiences that I would like to try. This other person, who is actually younger than me, believes that they are now too

Insecurities can stop you in your tracks

Faith in yourself is the biggest test you will ever face. You can believe in anything you want but if you do not believe in yourself then you will always struggle to overcome the insecurities that constantly hold you back. Imagine you are in the water swimming along happily and suddenly you start worrying if your stroke is correct. Your arms suddenly feel heavy, you are conscious of your legs kicking against the water and you realize that you are not moving forward as swiftly

Life is one continuous improvement

I see a mountain in front of me. It reaches high into the stormy clouds and I am unable to even see the summit, how will I reach my goal? How will I struggle along dangerous paths of insecurity and worry? How will I take on such an unsurmountable challenge alone? What are the steps I must take? I must do it the only way I know, one step at a time. Each one assured that it is merely just a meter in front of me, that is my goal for now. I must not stand in horror at the entire

We make mountains out of our problems

They often say that great things come from diversity. They often say that it is when we are challenged the most greatness will surface. If we look through history we can see there is definitely merit to what is said. Great people like Dr Martin Luther King gave his ‘I have a dream’ speech at the height of the troubles due to segregation and racism. He also followed this wonderful speech by saying that one day we will reach the promised land, I may not be with you but we will

It may not make sense now, but it will one day.

Sometimes we stand on the edge of reason, peering into the abyss below and wonder where our next step will take us. Often we find at every turn our life fails to connect the dots that make up our passage leaving us floundering without understanding. It is in these dark times we face that we must pause, pause and be in tune with the person we are now and have always been. We are not supposed to know every answer the universe throws up. We are not supposed to know why things ha

Brands connect with people on an emotional level

When creating or communicating a brand things have changed drastically over the last twenty years. It used to be that a brand, or product, would need to communicate a difference in quality that was available when purchased. With a lack of parity across many categories the world of brands have moved into defining lifestyles that the brand creates or is included into. Buying a coca cola is no longer about a refreshing drink, it is a statement of all goodness and tradition, a br

When life gets tough, we must get tougher.

It is when we find life the hardest we must put more effort and work twice as hard as before if we are to realize our dreams. For anyone can be on top of their game when the sun is shining.You show true character and determination to bring your best when all others are shirking from the cold. Within you is the key to focusing your energy, to realizing every dream you dream and also within you lies the obstacles that will try and hold you back. For no one can stop you doing wh

You can do anything, but you can’t do everything.

With a passion for everything to do with art, I often find myself lost in a maze of inspiration where I do not know which route to take. Should I write, draw, paint, photograph, sculpt or anything else that is racing around my mind to do. I would genuinely love to do everything but unfortunately time doesn’t permit when you have other commitments. But this is not an excuse. It is no excuse not to be doing one thing at least as just because you could do everything, it doesn’t

Leave no room in your life for ‘what if’s’

A resolution to live the life I dream and a resolution to never shrink from fear of failure. If my insecurities surface I will face them with courage and heart. Be determined on my mission to fulfill any potential I may have. I will re-examine every ounce of my abilities so that I grow the positives and improve the negatives. I will learn from the lessons in the past and be sure that I am prepared to succeed through any trials that may and probably will come my way in the com
