Saying goodbye sucks

He was someone’s son, brother, friend and other people’s hero. And he was taken from us in a very brutal way.

Now it is all about asking questions and try and understand, but we will never get the right answers…someone came and took this super hero’s life from him when he couldn’t protect his own.

The most difficult part of saying goodbye is seeing those closest to him become weak, have no control over their emotions. For me it will always be the father figure who has to be the strongest and to see such a strong man crumble of pain really bring one back to reality…people die, but why?
Who gives someone else the right to come and take someone’s life, don’t they realise that person has a family and friends who will be left behind with sadness and questions…and that bring me to the thought of are we giving them the right to destroy what is ours, why don’t we fight back and claim our safety back, what are our world coming to and why are we letting it go this far?

He was a legend and may his legendary memories live on forever…as they said on his funeral, forget me not but let me go…we will never forget the good times.

Watch this space

This space is reserved for greatness…

Sometimes life just gets you down, you feel that what people say discourage you and you start believing them, that you are not good enough to achieve success and become successful…but is that really true…can people really have so much impact on our lives and why do we give them the right and power to have so much impact on our lives. No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

I’m sure each and every person had someone in their life that discouraged them at a stage in their life, told them they aren’t good enough, clever enough or smart enough…and that person had such a huge impact that you believe it until today, but why do you give them the power to have that impact on your life.

Change that around and show them that they must rather watch this space because you’re destined for success, show them that you’re much more than what they ever thought you might or can be…show them you have greatness in you and that you will prove them wrong.

And don’t do this only for them but to prove to yourself that other people don’t have a say in who you are and how great you are.

Conventional is a good fallback position

Yes, conventional is a good fallback position because then you don’t stir the water, but you loose out on life’s excitement and experiences.

Who wants to loose out on the excitements and experiences life surprises you with…I for one, would rather take the up’s and down’s and curveballs life throws at me than be conventional. How boring mustn’t it be just to be who you are and nothing more or nothing less…being too afraid of trying something new, stepping away when someone gives you a challenge because your too afraid of failure.

Haven’t anyone told you that failure and disappointment is all part of life…yes we get hurt but that is the only way we learn how to do it better and become stronger. Life has so much excitement and experience that we must grab onto, test and enjoy and the last thing we must be is conventional…stir the water it may even become a storm, no matter how stormy the weather is, there is always sunshine on the horizon.

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea because then you lack diversity and balance, but you score focus.

Some might think having only one big idea for you life is not a good thing because what if it fails or if you later see it isn’t what you thought it would be, then you have no plan B or something to fall back on. But why would you only have one idea and struggle to come up with something else if you didn’t feel very strong about your one idea.

Having one idea to focus on in life gives you ambition and strength to strive to make that idea a success, to show others and prove that you can and will make a success of what you believe in because your one idea gave you focus to work hard towards your idea.

People mustn’t get discourage if they can’t come up with more than one idea…they must just see that as the challenge of working even harder to accomplish that one idea.
