Burning the candle….
now, just some food for thought. If you are burning the candle on both ends but are in your flame, would you be using your wax? mmh. anyway, what I am trying to say is that you can live as intensely as you like, if you do what is your flow, it will not cause you too much of a strain or take away your natural energy.
I have been experimenting (not on purpose, more like a moth to the flame kind of thing) with this and if you do anything you want, just checking your ‘inner compass from time to time, life has an amazing amount of colour, vibrancy, flavour and richness! this can only be experienced if you audaciaously throw away the fear of rejection, play full out, don’t worry about the future or the past and literally pretend that the ageing process has only affected your body…
Enough of my February musings… I have a few weekend speaking gigs ahead and looking forward to some more buzz on stage…. check out my events page here…
speak soon, keep tweeting, life is for living and living is…. you got it 
oh, did I mention I finally went full time into being who I am? (given up my job after it being just ridiculous)

Well done my brother.
Discovering – and following – the path with heart can require a different type of courage.
Am working on my own big launch…finally, now that I found a niche.
Am also beginning to accept the possibility of this higher level of exposure.
- best of vibes!

The Station, by Robert J Hastings
Tucked away in our subconscious minds is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long, long trip that almost spans a continent. We’re travelling by passenger train, and out the windows we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving at a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hills, of biting winter and blazing summer and cavorting spring and docile fall.
But uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour we will pull into the station. There will be bands playing and flags waving. And once we get there so many wonderful dreams will come true. So many wishes will be fulfilled and so many pieces of our lives will be neatly fitted together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes for loitering….. Waiting, waiting, waiting, for the station.
However, sooner or later we must realise there is no one at the station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station is only a dream. It constantly outdistances us.
“When we reach the station, that will be it!” we cry. Translated it means. “When I’m 18, that will be it! When I buy a new 450 SL Mercedes Benz, that will be it! When I put the last kid through college, that will be it! When we have paid off the mortgage, that will be it! When I win promotion, that will be it! When I reach the age of retirement, that will be it! I shall live happily ever after!”
Unfortunately, once we get it, then it disappears. The station somehow hides itself at the end of an endless track.
“Relish the moment” is a good motto, especially when coupled with Psalm 118:24 “This is the day which the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.” It isn’t the burdens of today that drive men mad. Rather, it is regret over yesterday or fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who would rob us of today.
So, stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more ice cream, go barefoot oftener, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. The station will come soon enough.

Darn it… I was going to ask you the question about the job! I see that Sunday already asked and you’ve already answered it.
What did you think of the T.Harv Eker MMI weekend you did recently Daniel? Implemented anything yet? Buy any of his products? I was very tempted to buy the train the trainer course but my friend said she was going to do it and then train me!
Let me know when you have time.
