Magic Dust

I've found that in todays day and age, there are people in the world searching for the missing ingredient.... the thing that will make their life magical. Like winning the lottery, taking a weightloss pill or rubbing a magic lamp will solve all our problems and only then can we be happy.

Im here to let you in on a secret.... We are the magic dust! If you're looking for something better or something to change in your life, the first place you should look is in the mirror. It all starts with us, the person. If Galileo waited for someone else to sail across the globe to determine the world round or for some magical force to deem it true, we might still be of the mind that the world is flat and fall off if we go too far!

We are in control of what we be, do and have in life. The first and foremost clue to know if you're on the right track is to be doing something that you are passionate about, something that makes your heart sing!

This searching for magic dust is something I've been familiar with. I spent years training and competing in a sport looking for magic dust.. looking in the program, the next diet, my coach, books, the latest training gear.. the list goes on! Only have I discovered now by venturing out into the world and becoming an entrepreneur that we create our own odds. By our conviction, belief and knowing in our heart its real for us and taking the actions necessary, we can make all our wildest dreams come true.

Share the magic you've had in your life on this blog, I'd love to hear your stories.

Constipation of the mind

At first procrastination and constipation may seem quite different and strange to discuss. But today I am asking you to take a closer look. Procrastination is the art of delaying action when the opportunity is there to do so. Before starting my business I suffered from this in my studies at University and I must say I really cheated myself. Instead of planning out what study I would do for the whole semester, I would do this in lots, then I would miss a few items of study, then I would need to add in extra hours, and in the end I was staying up till 3am to finish an assignment due in the morning.

Once I had started my business the layout was made in a similar fashion. I planned out week by week and wrote down tasks and action I needed to take each day. The strange thing was, I completed everything… and added in tasks along the way! This was a rewarding feeling I must say, but the main difference between my studies and my business was that I enjoyed doing my business. When studying it was if I had to force myself out of bed to get behind a text book, and now I am bursting at the seems with excitement throughout my day running my business.

When thinking about constipation, it is a blockage of the body systems. And what do we think procrastination is? To me the best way to put it is constipation of the mind… A blockage between oneself and the outcome residing in the mind! In my case, I did not enjoy my studies, lacked motivation, and did not take it upon myself to change this. Other blockages that come to mind common in society are belief in oneself, worthiness, belief in the universe providing it and like me, people simply don’t enjoy what they do, yet continue to do it anyway! So next time you find yourself on the couch, making excuses to not do something, stop, and ask yourself ‘Why am I avoiding this really?’ because constipation of the mind is the worst kind and might be the one thing you need to overcome to have the life of your dreams.
