Our man in Bali

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.

Things fall into place

If you take all the regular daily steps towards your goals and if you exercise patience, then sooner or later things start to happen.

Often when we try too hard or we are impatient, our emotions and stress clouds our thinking and then we can make knee jerk decisions.

The momentum we need to see and feel success takes a time to build, initially, it is hard, it feels like your trying to push water uphill, and our resolve is tested. This is especially true when you are trying to be you or trying to do something new and different.

Change is a challenge in ourselves or our business and it takes time. Often, though, in the microwave, instant gratification world that we live in, people feel the pressure from around to try for the shortcuts. Only to realise that there are no shortcuts to change.

However, if you keep going, the tiny green shoots start to emerge and that is when you need to just keep going and not be afraid that they won’t grow.

Sooner or later things just fall into place.
