now, blue print……hmmm, i dont have that i must admit, but what ill say is i do have a mental picture of where i wanna be…..i just don’t know how to get there, its the how that ive been dwelling on for the past few weeks, i seriously need help with that……

i must share this with you, someone told me that T.D Jakes once said that for you to attain success, you have to have a little taste of how its like to walk in it’s shoes( paraphrased ofcourse) ,eg for you to you to drive a mercedes, you should try sit in it to feel how its gonna feel when you finally get your own! then the mental picture becomes even more real……..

“I know a planet where there is a certain red-faced gentleman. He has never smelled a flower. He has never looked at a star. He has never loved any one. He has never done anything in his life but add up figures. And all day he says over and over, just like you: ‘I am busy with matters of consequence!’ And that makes him swell up with pride.
“But he is not a man, he is a mushroom!”
“A what?”
“A mushroom!”

You need to be human too:)

I was presenting at a professional networking BBQ at a friend’s place a while ago. Everyone at this event is either an engineer ( mining/oil and gas sector) or Computer guru. These are guys developing Multi-million Dollar Project plans for their companies year in year out and the company yields profits with their share prize souring. None of these guys have a career or financial plan and they say life isn’t treating them well. Who is to blame?.

They have forgotten that what you don’t measure you can’t manage. They had left their destiny to chance. Brothers and sisters don’t let things just happen to you, but happen to things. That is how you can be captain of your own soul and master of your own destiny. Good job Daniel keep it coming.

I would like to draw your attention to the Swahili song “Wape wape ehh vidonge vyao, watasema watachoka ni shauri yao”. Loose translation for my aussie friends “It does not matter what your detractors will say… just do your thing…..”

so, if you are truly happy, INSIDE, then you are undoubtedly, a very successful person. I have always been relatively happy on the inside, but, until recently, I had always lived in denial about who and what I really am. One day recently, I confronted my own inner demons for the first time in my life, because I was determined to ‘complete the picture’and I sat down with my partner and discussed who and what, I really am. My partner has supported me whole heartedly and for the first time ever, I feel that a massive weight has lifted from my soul because I accept who and what I am and I am truly very happy and content inside! Finally, success has arrived!!!! So Daniel and everyone out there, look at what makes you who you are, because you are special and should’nt be changed, and celebrate YOU for the success that you are!

What makes us different is our choices.Happiness is a way that leads to success. if shedding those Kgs, or starting to write or sing or where the talent lies then do it.Tomorrow never comes.
We are all gifted, funny that I read that actual quote in the Bible today that “We are all different parts of one body”.
This teaches us to respect those who are different and at the same time play our part. I heard somewhere “Be yourself, everybody else is taken”.

I know we are speaking of Success but I have to highlight the fact you must be yourself to achieve it. You will be laughed at, discouraged name it. People laughed when Colombus said the world was round, when the Wright brothers said man could fly and when the bulb failed 50,000 times. Look who is eating the humble pie now…My point get used to early dissapointments,but do not lose the lesson. Every road has obstacles.

One of my other fav quotes is by a buddhist who says “Don’t know,go straight and it may take 10,000yrs”.Which means you will never know what you will encounter, go straight do not let anything hold you down, it may take 10,000yrs learn to be patient.

There is no particular way of formula but there is what is common.You have to be a dreamer….if your dreams are not laughable they are not dreams.You have to be positive. Listen to your own inner voice that is the only way you will not be discouraged by others who do not know better or who have given up. Lets face it those who are successful want you to succeed.Its important to hang around people with a vision but a choice.

Find yourself (sounds ridiculous I know).This is measured by only you when you understand your own flaws and start working on them to build character that way you will not judge your brother and since you are competing with yourself, no one in the world can compete with you.
