Posted on January 26, 2010 by Brenda

So many problems in our life are created by our own perception of the event or an expected event. Two people could be in the same place – one is dreading it because of what may happen, the other is looking forward to it because of what may happen. Continue reading →

Inspirational Quotes

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.”
– Marcel Proust

Many years ago, I believed that if I lived in a certain place in a particular type of house with a certain type of family, then I would be happy. After speaking to many different people, I found this was such a common sentiment. We were giving our power away to outside sources instead of searching within us for our happiness.

I have a challenge for everyone today. Instead of going about your day like a robot, stop and look around you. see your world with different eyes, and see the magic that is in your world. All it takes is to appreciate those things we can all take for granted. For today, write a list of all the things you are grateful for. Once you start, you will see your world differently. Give it a try and see the difference it can make! Continue reading →

Nick Bladen – Part 8 – The Lessons Continue

Lesson 2 – It is easier to apologise than it is to ask permission

I say this reservedly, but we found the more we tried to do the “right thing” by people, friends, officials etc, the more walls we faced. When alerting authorities of our intentions, when speaking with the National Parks authority, when consulting people, we were not only denied access, denied permission and not given alternatives, we were outright shutdown. Consequently, I believe that whilst it is important to do the right thing, sometimes political red tape makes it practically impossible, and one must use their intuition and judgment when deciding what actions will be fair and reasonable, and what would be divulging too much. One is free from moral judgment so long as the actions are for the greater good of the greater people, and no-one is put in danger or harms way. At risk of being too liberal, I will say no more on this subject. Continue reading →
