Absence makes the heart grow fonder, so the saying goes, in which case I must but greeted with a lot of fondness on my return to writing this blog. I can’t really recall the last entry I made or when it was (without looking), all I do know is it was quite some time ago. I hope that none of you felt that I’d abandoned you without giving a second thought to the void I’d leave (he says with an air of self importance). If anything my change of lifestyle since the last entry has made me appreciate this blog even more.
Once more I shall explain myself.
I’ve used this medium over the last year to vent my spleen, ramble about anything and everything that is on my mind. It has been the ultimate form of expression. During the good and bad times I’ve had the ability to let go, let my thoughts go out into cyberspace and let you, the reader soak them up and put your unique spin on them.
My life has changed beyond all recognition in the last few months; I have spread my wings and begun to discover all that I can achieve. The reason for this is a simple chain of events – my focus has been moved from myself, the wallowing in my own self pity, limitations and failings and been firmly shifted to see how others gather all the strength they have to make the most of life. During this ‘rebalancing’ I’ve seen my role, my purpose as a facilitator enabling others to take an extra step. It is quite amazing seeing someone hesitantly move forward but nonetheless forward gives you more belief.
Life isn’t about the tools you have; it is about how you use them.
We are all guilty of knocking our abilities, of not seeing that the only limitation that most of us have is the limitation of our self belief. Look around you, see each person that battles on each day come rain or shine and does so with a smile. There is very little reason why that can’t be me or you. Where do we want to go? What do we want to achieve? A lot of us don’t get as far as the second question as we ‘know’ it is out of reach. I can tell you from my perspective that is utter tripe, the only thing in life that is out of reach are the thing we don’t want to make the effort to stretch towards.
Life is a seesaw, if you can find a way to be the fulcrum you will keep the majority of the control. The fulcrum is that voice in your head that doubts you, with effort and determination that voice can be muted.
Strive on towards your next goal my friends.
Enjoy today, look forward to tomorrow.
