Hi Henrik,
I was thinking of hot air balloons yesterday so I knew I was in the right place when I saw the picture. This post is electric with powerful words!
Thank you I needed that today. I will re read this again and again!

I liked what I read here: 1) Break down your big vision into bite sized goals. I like the idea of making sure that you are doing one small thing every day to work toward those goals, or at least toward a couple of them. 2) Relax when things aren’t always going according to your plan. Be willing to see other opportunities. Maybe even take a break and come back to it tomorrow.

I also loved all your quotes

Hi there,

Visiting your blog for the first time…. very interesting blog you have out here

with regards to this post…. passion and a never say die attitude will of course take you a long way….

But the most important factor is, finding what you really love to do…. this is really the crux and is most essential….

Cheers

I definitely appreciate the writings here too Victoria. Very interesting concept too. I like quotes because they add a different dimension of depth to the points that are being made.

Whenever i have had hard times getting things done or starting things i had to say to myself just do it. Waiting for the right time is the wrong thing to do. A quote i had read said there never will be a right time or something along those lines. So with whatever i do now i just do it.
Great post

I found recently when trying to start something new that I’d be hit with a few fairly strong reasons to give up. Some part of my plan would be ruined, or I would get overwhelmed by certain aspects of what I was trying to begin and… It just felt so much easier to give up on the idea and do something easier (but less rewarding) Each time I felt I should give up I instead just took a break for a little while, then when i got over the initial powerful feeling I re-focused, came up with new ideas, shifted things a little and got back on track… it was messy but now im well on the way to beginning what i set out to do!

Thank you for the post Henrik. I agree, sometimes we are hung up on what we think is an unfavorable situation. When we continuously dwell on that particular situation, we overlook the reason why this particular event might have occurred. Everything happens for a reason; our downfalls make us stronger and prepare us for some event in the future, which makes us greater and better. Without that particular experience we might not have been able to overcome our future hurdles, so we should accept and learn from every situation and move on. I heard someone say “a set back is a set up for greater things” and I agree. We are molded to have the ability to withstand anything.

Thanks again for the post.

Hi Hendrik .. Just do it! Good post – don’t start wallowing in being overwhelmed, start clearing the decks, start going forward – the old say “do what you should do today – don’t leave it for tomorrow” certainly helps .. because tomorrow is a clean slate – especially if you’ve listed out your ‘to do list’ ready to hit the day running – or the best way you’ve found to start your day .. meditate, read, exercise and then get stuck in ..

Thanks – we all need kickstarting at the beginning of a new year so we can achieve our dreams ..
