Sometimes life can be overwhelming. You have so much to do and accomplish so that you can live the life of your dreams. Sometimes we reach the stage of expansion overload. When you reach this point you have to take time out a little to allow space to open up again for your continual growth.
Usually we feel guilty and afraid to stop everything and breathe. We feel as if everything will fall apart and slide backward if we take time out to just concentrate on rest and regathering.Your work and progress will slip backwards if you don’t take the time out for rest and rejuvenation. It is vital for your success. Ditch the guilt, ditch the work and just take time out from everything. Let it go.
When you let it go you remove all the pressure and you give your brain and creativity time to expand once more. I’ve had to do this recently. It all just got a bit too overwhelming for me and I felt pushed to my limits. So I retreated for awhile. Yes! I did feel guilty and worried that everything would fall apart. But it hasn’t and it won’t. It was so worthwhile as now I feel more refreshed and energized to keep moving forward.
The trick is to make sure even while you take a break, every day you just take a small step forward. Just do one small task a day even to keep you on track. This way you get your much needed break but your eye is still on the goal and you continue to move forward, no matter how slowly.
Success is often nothing more than moving from one failure to the next with undiminished enthusiasm- Winston Churchill
Failure and Success go hand in hand. You can’t have one without the other. You can’t take the court unless you play to win. This means playing full out and doing whatever it takes to succeed. Move from one failure to the next with enthusiasm and the determination to learn and win and success will be yours.
Watch today’s daily inspirational message to learn more about playing to win.
Gold at the winter Olympics is not something that happens often for Australia. Low snow levels and low population sort of sets us behind from the beginning. But that never stops the true Aussie spirit from shining through. Our first gold medal was back in 2002 with Steven Bradbury’s inspirational win in the speed skating. He sailed over the finish line in first place after all the other skiers fell over. His good natured view on his win was inspirational. He knew he did not deserve to win but he celebrated it with much gratitude and humbleness. He said
God smiles on you some days and this is my day!

Today we had another inspirational gold medal win for Australia with Torah Bright. Torah overcome many setbacks and hardships on her journey to gold in Australia. 4 concussions and a fractured jaw leading up to the Olympics and then 2 failed final runs before she nailed it with a move most men can’t make. This put her miles in front of her strong competitors to win Gold!
Torah knows the secret to success: If you just get up and keep moving forward with determination and your focus set clearly on your goal of victory then you cannot ever fail!
Good on ya Torah for carrying on Australia’s magic winter Olympic Gold medal wins!

Today’s video focuses on inspirational stories of persistence. Persistence and inspiration are essential keys for your success. The path of least resistance can be very tempting so we need shots of inspiration in our lives to keep us focused and on track to the attainment of our goals and the fulfillment of our dreams.
Inspiration can come from stories of people who have succeeded against all odds People who placed their dreams above their fears and used this as a tool to keep persisting.

Keep knocking loud enough and the door will surely open, just like it did for these inspirational people who made a difference in the lives of many.
A persistence quote to keep you going:

The value of teamwork lies in many areas, the most important being individuals working together toward a common goal. The importance of teamwork is always having somebody by your side to pick you up encourage you and motivate you to achieve your goals.
“There is no ‘i’ in team.”
The Value of teamwork means that my result is dependent on yours so we are more inclined to show up for training, and give it 100% because you know that if you fail you are letting down many others who success relies on yours.
Never underestimate the importance of teamwork and make sure that whatever you are striving for in life you get on a strong team to help you. Get on a team that knows and understands what effective teamwork is. Be on a team that understands how to get a team to be unified, one that promotes positivity, motivation and inspiration.

Today’s daily inspirations for better living discusses how you can write your own eulogy and change your life story. As morbid as it might sound this is a very powerful strategy for you to create the life you love to live. There’s no better time than now to think how you would like to be remembered after your time on Earth has passed.
Did you create your own life or did someone create it for you? Were you a kind and loving person or did you choose otherwise? Did you stand up for your dreams and do whatever it took to achieve them? or did you remain stuck in your comfort zone too afraid to take chances and live life and so let it slip away from you? Did you fulfill your purpose and live your best life?
Your life is not a dress rehearsal. You get one shot. Live like you are dying. Understand that you can change your life now! You can forgive your past and change your future!
Complete the task I set for you: Write your own eulogy and change your life story!
“Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity” Roman Philosopher
Welcome to Travel Thursday. Thursdays are going to be dedicated to sharing travel lessons and stories with you of all we learned when we were adventuring around the world. Today’s travel lesson is all about when preparation meets opportunity and luck is created!
Luck is a dis-empowering word. When you look upon the achievements of others as just being lucky you are just giving yourself another excuse to not be a success story yourself. There is no such thing as luck- it’s all about desire, determination, being willing to make sacrifices and taking action.
This is the magic potion for achieving your dreams
Watch today’s daily inspiration on using the power of leverage. Leverage is a way to use the something that is not yours as a form of power to advance you further in life.
Business leverage involves using various tools to help speed your growth and income. It may even include taking on a partner and using (leveraging) their strengths to gain success. Leveraging the internet is a powerful way to get your message across to millions of people in a cheap and effective manner. Then of course finance leverage is what we are most aware of – using the banks money to buy a house or other possessions. Without the leverage we just couldn’t do it.
If you want to grow in life you have to take risks.. With this comes the occasional failure. It’s all a part of the journey to success. Why not then fail forward by learning the lessons and begin again more intelligently.
Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth, the two best sportsmen in their field, recognized that their successes came as a result of their failures. Their risks and failures gave them an opportunity to grow into the success they became.
“I’ve failed over and over again and that is why I succeed” Michael Jordan
