 I thrive on the big picture. As long as I have an idea what my future looks like then life as I know it is ok. If the picture fades or becomes distorted in any way, shape or form then so does my perceived sense of certainty. Now, if there happens to be a total black out, then along with my perceived certainty, goes any perceived sense of security I may have held about my life. I say ‘perceived’ because really, can we be certain about anything in the future except maybe death and taxes?

Fortunately, life does not make us fumble around in the darkness for longer than we need to, at some stage the images in our minds eye return to focus and we start to see clearly again where it is we are meant to be headed.

In my book, “Destiny Designer”, I write that “Destiny is about creating a compelling future. Most people give up on life because they can’t see a great future. They lose hope. A compelling future is founded on a positive self worth, empowered in the NOW, grounded in the TRUE value of life and nurtured by the realisation that life is all about what you have to give.”

 The Power is in the NOW!

Our job is to learn to hear the still small voice, the one that whispers that there is an amazing future that awaits you. This is your destiny, filled with blessings far beyond your wildest dreams, and, if you are anything like me you want to know what that is right now, right?

 What I’ve learned is to stop focusing on the future and wanting to know what it holds and to stop living in the past. Instead try and concentrate on ‘WHO’ I am and ‘WHO’ I am becoming. The past has already happened. The future isn’t here yet so all we really have is NOW!

Discovering your TRUE NORTH!

 True North is like your emotional centre. I like to think of it as the path your soul takes when you are in God’s will. When this happens I feel peace, purpose and passion.

 True North contains all your values and beliefs. Your beliefs are what you say to yourself, your values are what motivate you. It’s the ‘WHY’ we do something that becomes the powerful force in achieving a compelling destiny.

 Tapping into your potential!

 I think potential is only potential when the person realises it for themselves. Until then it’s just an untapped, dormant seed of possibility. I’ve found potential in guys who put the toilet seat down. Women are particularly good in seeing potential in the biggest losers.

 Potential becomes reality by equipping yourself with all the right ingredients required. Acknowledging your strengths and realising that your weaknesses are merely areas for development if you so choose to develop them. Persist until it happens and believe in yourself.

 Let your mess be your message!

 The pages of history are filled with stories of people who have overcome obstacles and who have faced enormous challenges and hardships. Through it all they rise up stronger than ever before and go on to help impact the lives of others.

 A life poured out is a life lived well. This means sharing your wisdom and experiences with others so that they can receive an olive branch of empowerment that may help them get through, or prevent them from going through bad experiences.
