Be a fanatic

Japanese Characters by Philip Dodson (Oil on canvas board)

Life’s routines can overwhelm us and lead us down a path of repetition and a lack of sparkle.

Weeks, months, years even can drift by and often all we have done is the same, work, chores, the same places and the same people.

If, however, we have something that is a passion, a hobby, an interest, then that brings opportunity for new things, new experiences, new people, and it brings sparkle and joy.

In order for that to happen, you need to be a fanatic about something.

It could be art, music, walking, gardening, stamp collecting, bird watching, sailing, or whatever.

But having a mild interest won’t bring the magic, you need to jump in, you need to be fanatical about it to get the best.

Find something that you love and who know’s sometimes these fanatical pastimes become your life’s love and work.

Better than another whirr around the monotonous cog of a life of routine and conformity.

Make a connection

If all that you do today is make a connection with another human.

Someone new or someone you’ve not connected with for a while.

Reach out and connect with other humans.

Connect every day as often as you can, seek others that are like-minded, seek people who you can inspire with your dreams and leadership.

We are nothing without connection to other people, it’s how we turn our ideas into creations by sharing, it is how we learn, it is how we become energised, it is how we find love, it is how we can give to the world what we owe, it’s how we inspire others, it’s how change happens.

Purposeful and meaningful interactions.

The world doesn’t owe us, we owe it to ourselves and the world to make the connections that fulfil our purpose.

We all can and need to make our difference.
