Staying Connected in VET

EDUCATE

ACHIEVE YOUR IMPOSSIBLE! Keith Abraham I love the quote from Nelson Mandela … It always seems impossible until someone does it. Achieving your impossible is not about being an Olympic Athlete or a corporate Highflier. It is about achieving the goal that is beyond your comfort zone. That is a little bigger and bolder than you think is possible for you. You see I believe there are 3 levels in life … Survival, where you just get by but you don’t get ahead. The second is Success where you are making progress but there is the need to tap into your true potential. The third is Significance, where you are recognised by your peers and friends. To become significant you need to achieve some of those goals in your life that are beyond your comfort zone, the ones that seem impossible and on the other side of difficult. Too many people swim in a sea of sameness. We keep on doing what is comfortable, not what is going to give us completeness. Too many people put up with sameness, they go through the motions and they are satisfied with the crumbs that come with survival mode. Rather than taking time to prepare for the banquets and feasts that can be enjoyed when you put yourself out of your comfort zone and dream big dreams, pursue your passions and set greatness as the standard to live by.

Let me ask you, are you doing what you love to do? Whether that is in your personal life or your professional life? I am not asking you to leave your job; close your business down; leave your partner or spouse. I am not saying that your life is going to be great every single day in your personal and professional life. But if it is not that way the majority of the time, then what are you doing to fix it? It has often been said, that ulcers are caused not from what you have eaten, but what’s eating you. If you don’t take time to pursue your passion, it eats away at you. Are you doing what you love to do? Your activity … Please take a moment to ponder and then respond to the following questions. 1. What would you love to do if you knew you could not fail? You may have more than one answer and that’s OK. 2. What is one roadblock that is holding you back from achieving what you would love to do? 3. How would you get around this roadblock, if you had the time and the resources? 4. What is one thing you need to do different in your life?

The future is not some place we are going to but one we are creating. The paths to it are not found, but made and the activity of making them, changes both the maker and the destination.
