Yesterday, I was talking to my team member about some work we are doing and I made the comment.. ‘slowly but surely’.
Now, for those who know me, I love the old Brian Clough quote, “Rome wasn’t built in a day, but I wasn’t on that particular job”. That’s very much me… but then on the other hand, there’s only so much you can do with what you have control over. It’s all about control.
So today’s thought is centred around doing what you can do, little by little, with the control you do have.
Time goes quick.
Tomorrow, in the morning… I’ll be attending the funeral of a young man who passed away.
Then tomorrow evening, have a wedding reception of a close family friend (who recently got married). I’ve known him since he was a little kid.
Got me thinking, how time goes so quickly…. And mostly around wanting to do things which unfortunately stay as wants and aren’t ticked off the list…
I always speak about the process.
It’s so important – to be part of the journey, tell the story and understand how it’s done. Don’t just be part of the outcome.
And with that, below is my Friday Thought from Alex Morton…
Recently, Sidhu Moosewala – a singer, actor, artist who was from the northern region of India, called Punjab was shot dead.
He was a Global Superstar. Some huge artists around the world put messages on their social media channels and many people were saddened to learn about his untimely death.
One thing that really stuck out for me, was a post on Instagram. Which is my Friday Thought… I don’t think it needs any extra words from me.
I’ve often shared, that some of my favourite books are centred around how to use your mind – not only think positive but also how to control your mind, and understand what truly are your priorities.
Think like a monk by Jay Shetty is an excellent book. Also, The subtle art of not giving a f*ck, is one of my favourites!
Be Happy.
What challenges are you facing?
My Friday Thought… is about why make things so complicated?
Today’s thought…. reflects on the tough times we are all going through.
Let’s be honest – it’s not easy for many, the pandemic has hit many hard, still under lockdown, and with home-schooling for parents… the road ahead looks a little bumpy. But… keep going!
My Friday thought today is reflecting on where you want to be, what your ambitions are, what your passion is… and then making the right decisions today – on where you want to be.
