You and I

When you think of the word “successful,” who’s the first person that comes to mind and why?

Well there are a number of people you could list all the way from the “Z” listers right the way up to the successful business person or uber intellectual.

But this is one where we should take all the credit, yes, you and i.

Look how far we have come, look at what we have witnessed and dealt with, the good bad and indifferent and we are still here. We maybe a little battle scarred and fragile but why give all the credit to celebrities and sudo heroes?

Pat yourself on the back, or get someone to do it for you, and whilst you’re at it pat them on the back and say, “Well done you bloody super successful person”.

Stay great you 👉

Achieving against the odds

What brings a tear of joy to your eye?

Someone who has been written off for not achieving when the rest of the world has cast them aside. A work colleague of mine was doomed to fail from the moment he joined us, a lovely guy, just needed a bit of mentoring, he got that and despite the naysayers casting him aside he has flourished in the role. And I am so proud of him.

Sometimes the downtrodden can flourish. People just need to be given a chance. Success is not just a possession for the gifted few.

It’s for everyone.

Chance is a gamblers game. Opportunity is for all. Success is for everyone.

Never look down on someone. You may well have to pass them when you come down off of your high horse.
