For those out there, know I love to read.
But once I read, I love to put the learnings into action.
I’m a firm believer that you can’t beat, learning but doing.
Most people just read and think they know it. But the best way to gain experience is to go and do it.
Think about the outcome, not the output.
Understand the process, break it down and understand.
Don’t chase… build to attract.
Whatever comes easy, goes easy! I was told this when I was younger. The harder you work, the more you learn, the more sustainable the result it.
The struggle is great…
My last blog post was about my habits for 2026.
This stemmed from the book, Atomic Habits. And guess what, I found the below infographic that explains what Atomic Habits is about.
Whilst this is an overview, I still recommend you read the book…
Today I’m sharing an old Turkish proverb.
It’s about life. That if you never experience the ‘downs’, you’ll never appreciate and understand the ‘ups’.
Some of us have been fortunate enough not to experience that many lows. Which is great. But then you’d truly not experience the highs.
Those who were made redundant from work, or experienced a loss, or felt a serious low… when the highs come, they’ll truly cherish them.
Today’s Friday Thought is about Feng Shui.
It helps you to be more focussed, clearer and enabled to make progress.
I love learning about other cultures.
How they operate. What they do differently.
Some may sound/look strange to us. Some we can relate to.
Today’s Friday thought is all about appreciating other cultures.
Happy Friday!
Saw this on twitter/x/whatever it’s called these days.
And thought it’s too good not to share…
How many of these are you doing?
In life, it’s not all about hard work. Whilst hard work beats talent (HWBT)… you’ve got to work strategically.
You’ve got to plan, think and execute.
Build relationships, learn and grow.
Holidays soon!
And oh boy, am I looking forward to them.
But I will be taking some more time off later in August.
Mainly because… I like some timeout. To sit on my own. Gather my thoughts. Reflect and review. Prepare and Ponder.
It’s good to organise everything that is in my head and put it into building blocks that can then provide the right direction and answers.
