Success & Frank Gehry’s Mum!

Success means something different to all of us.

However we gain personal, professional or sporting Success it all comes down to very simple actions. I found this wonderful, short at only 3.33mins TED talk by Richard St John.

Success

As Frank Gehry says his mum is responsible for the push action in his life! We all need someone to Motivate us and make us raise our game. What could be holding you back from being the success you wish to be?

As a designer, a closet architect and a mum, I think Mrs Gehry senior must be very proud of her sons’ Success and his amazing contribution to achitecture around the world.

Look at the 8 simple rules and see which is missing in your life or needs more attention. Focus on that action and go for it.

If you need a push call me….

Sow Positive Seeds

Today, the 9th of September 2011 has been a day of reflection, touched with sorrow and more importantly hope.

I remember seeing the images and in that moment promising to make every day count.
What would my legacy be should I die tomorrow?

I think that Jim Rohn & Chris Widener in their book “Twelve Pillars”
summaries the concept of leaving a Personal Legacy brilliantly.

“Live a life that will help others spiritually, intellectually, physically, financially, and relationally.
Live a life that serves as an example of what an exceptional life can look like.

Let others lead small lives, but not you.
Let others argue over small things, but not you.
Let others cry over small hurts, but not you.
Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.

Leaving a legacy is like planting a tree.
As that seed grows into a tree, it will provide seeds, so that future generations can then plant their own.”

I decided to design My Personal Legacy and create something I am proud of and others would remember me for.
I have during the last 10 years, metaphorically and physically sown seeds.
I have nurtured the growth in others, cultivated gifts some miss in themselves and watered dreams.
I have been fortunate enough to have received the same gifts back.
It has been a challenging journey, however the time invested has reaped priceless rewards.
I am thankful for everyday I get.

Looking back I realize not only how much the world has changed but so have I.
What seeds will you sow, what will be your legacy?

Cause and Effect

I have listened to a dialogue between two people who most certainly have very different perspectives. Their own personal maps of the world influence what they see, hear and feel. Consequently this will have a cause and effect, not always a positive one!

“Two men look out the same prison bars; one sees mud and the other stars.” Frederick Langbridge

Have you found it difficult to alter your position, be more tolerant and experience something from a different perspective? Are you a stars or mud person?

How would it feel to look at something differently, what is the worse that could happen?
