The costumes we wear

Yesterday we went to the temple at Uluwatu and watched an amazing show called the Fire Dance. All the main characters in the story being told wore different, very colourful and amazing costumes.

Without these costumes, sure the dance would have still been good, but it would not have been spectacular, the very best it could have been.

The costumes were the finishing touches, the things that made the characters come to life and it completely enriched the story being acted out.

In life and in business, it is the small finishing touches that we add to the things that make all the difference. It is what turns the good to outstanding, the ordinary to brilliant, it is what makes us remarkable or not.

It is often the smallest of things that make the biggest difference.

So I am sitting here on outdoor terrace writing today’s blog. I am at my 2nd Copass Camp with Eric and Sophie, no Stefano this time, he’s too busy taking pictures of himself in a very deep swimming pool.

Today’s post might be a little weird given that I have only had about 3-4 hours sleep in the last 24 hours. I love to travel and going to new places, but 17 hours of flying and a few more hanging around airports does have it’s effects eventually.

All I am going to say today is, whatever age you are, wherever you are on your journey, make sure you take the time to travel, meet new people, have new experiences and do things that are different to your everyday life.

Do not say to yourself, like I have at times in life, ‘I’ll do it when this happens’, or ‘next year when I have more time’ and so on. They are only excuses, as there is never the right time or the perfect time to do anything. So just do.
