Some changes are just harder to accept than others

We all know change will come, we all know change happens with or without our consent, so we just need to accept it. You cannot fight change, a look back through history will tell you that. You do not even need to look that far back with what is happening in the Middle east. The only thing constant in our lives is change but it unsettles and shakes our confidence sometimes. I’m not talking about the small things as they tend to give you a little wave that they are coming. So w

Life is not perfect, so keep making adjustments along the way.

Self doubt can be the most paralyzing feeling you experience. You can be sprinting down your path full of confidence when from no where comes self doubt and knocks you sideways. It stuns you and blocks you. It stands in front of you mocking the very things you believe. Tearing every shred of assurance you have away. It can be a terrifying experience as there is no way of seeing it coming. It often comes when after being passionately involved in something for so long with care

You are the only obstacle in front of you

There is only one thing that lies between you and your dreams; and that is you. For every excuse that we put up about we do not have this or that, I can’t do anything about it or I it’s just not happening are words we create to make us feel better about a certain situation. It is no secret that the world is facing one of the hardest financial situations, possibly, of our lifetime. It is extremely difficult to achieve the things we want, but we are the biggest of the obstacles

Trouble in Bahrain led to a quick exit

The trip to Bahrain went very well. Had trouble getting back to the airport as more protests started just before I was supposed to leave the office. It was all pretty quiet really until the GM came in looking a little pale saying, ‘I think you better leave!’ It’s amazing the thoughts that go though your mind, not just what kind but the amount in literally a fraction of a second. I cannot tell you how many different scenarios were racing through my mind as I sat and looked at

What are you waiting for?

In this life we can often sit and hope that things work out the way we want. We watch movies and documentaries, which show people who took hold of their destiny and tried to achieve something in their life. Yes it is true that you might not reach your goals, at least the fist time. If everything in life came easy we wouldn’t appreciate anything we achieved. If you dream of doing something, no matter what it is, start putting in action things that will help you achieve those g

Every step forward is a leap of faith

The balance of good and bad is universal. It is the topic of countless wonderful novels, movies and plays. From the cosmic interplay of elements on the largest stage, to microscopic battles within your very soul, it rages on eternally. Every step forward you make is fraught with treacherous temptation, that you feel will send you tumbling into the black hole of darkness and despair. But be brave. Be sure and confident that the direction you take will be full of happiness and

The campaign for real beauty

Take a look behind the lens of the fashion industry and see what defines real beauty. Take a look at the misconception our children are being forced to live up to, a reality that doesn’t exist. Pressure that is heaped upon young girls, and boys, to live up to impossible proportions when the truth of the matter is that no one looks like that anyway. Not even the top models or the movie stars, but with every page turn of a fashion magazine comes the abuse and insults that you d

The only thing we can predict, is that life will be unpredictable.

There are many moments in the journey we make where life takes a sharp turn for the surreal and we find ourselves standing in the shadows of uncertainty. These moments will one day be the days that define the person we are, when we are able to look back on them with clarity. For it is in these moments when we are scared, lost or unsure that our true character comes rushing to the surface. Our initial response is always to retreat into that child like state and hope someone re

Determine the thing that can and shall be done, and then we shall find the way.

Often when we look back on our lives we can see a clear path through troubles and tribulations. We remember the chaos that surrounded us, how dark the days were and how every second echoed as if in eternity. It is only retrospectively that the lessons we learned show the light of the path we took. How clear it all looks, how obvious and how important to where we are now in life that moment seems. So no matter how dark, how unsure or how frightening a moment in your life can b

When honesty is your only option

I am not a big fan of laziness, as anyone who works with me will tell you, but this image below made me laugh (3rd row on the right). I guess if you are going to be lazy then honesty is the only option you have. It says, “I’m too lazy to make a website so please check out my work at FLICKR.” Agreed this took some time, effort and is an interesting approach. I love what people are doing with paper and typography at the moment as you can see i the 4th row on the right hand side

Where will the internet take us?

The beauty of the internet for me is not the wealth of information available, although that is a blessing we should thank our lucky stars every day, but for me the internet was the original social media platform. Social media is a place where you can share with friends, colleagues and new acquaintances all the things that you are interested in or is happening in your life. Agreed, social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, myspace etc have made this easier but we should n

You do not need to like something in order to appreciate it

This is something I truly believe. Sometimes we look at a piece of art and we don’t understand the concept, the mix of colour or shape or what the artist is trying to say, but you still appreciate that someone has taken time and given their heart and soul into creating something. We always have to take a step back after our initial impulsive reaction and think a little longer about what is in front of us. The world moves pretty quickly around us and it shows no sign of slowin

A pause in blogging operations!

For those that have written to me over the last week I am sorry but I have been in the desert filming a TV commercial. I will be posting some pictures of the actual film production on here soon but you can see a few on my twitter account as that was the only thing I could do during the hectic schedule. We were up before sunrise and out filming until sunset to capture beautiful landscapes so here was little time for anything other than a few hours sleep. Hope you enjoy todays
