i found this TED video very inspiring. Meet Maysoon Zayid, an arab American who has a very inspiring take on living with Cerebral Palsy. The Audience went wild, see why.

expensive experiments

we all nurse dreams and aspirations but what good is a dream when it stays in your head. every dream that has ever been fulfilled took some level of perspiration on the path of the dreamer. waiting for the perfect situations is usually the biggest hindrance to  making dreams a reality. any wise man will tell you to be open minded and dream big but also be humble enough to start small. In reality not all dreams are meant for every season, someone once gave me a very smart advice when i tried to go into a certain kind of business to:

"weigh my options as far as my dreams and business plans were and be sure to choose if i was going to start a viable business venture or an expensive experiment". 

in summary be open minded enough to dream big without bothering about financial or social constraints, and be humble enough to start small in accordance with your social reality without second guessing yourself. Its the only way any meaningful progress is made.

Have a fab week ahead!

Dreams can be a hard Nut to crack...

I must admit: making dreams come through is  hard.  Living in an enviroment like ours where there is too much for too many, but few people hoarding all that much resources it can also be very discouraging. so many young people try so hard to get into the labour market and then try so hard to get out of it once in.

The ancient mould of getting a degree or two and getting a good job... doesn't really cut it these days since almost everyone in the labour market has a degree, doesn't it make any sense for you to stand out in some way?

As much as it feels like things are not right or you do not have enough to make your dreams happen, there is only one important fuel required of you: PASSION. It is the fuel that keeps you going when that required capital ain't forth coming or when doors of potential are slammed in your face.

A word of advice to you no matter how bad things look, keep your dreams alive in your heart & mind cos it will always give you hope; secondly spend 40-70% of your time everyday thinking and doing at least a few things about that dream and watch the power of positive attraction help you make that dream a reality.

na my own be that.

what have you done about your dreams today?

good morning, good afternoon, good night..how have you lived your life?
between Talib & Mosdef this statement rings loud.

Indeed life is as simple as that...alot of us are in different seasons of our lives like timezones, for some its evening for others its morning.

Isn't it rather unfortunate how much of our dreams and aspirations are left to die on cute writing pads with spiral rings which we pull out and refine from time to time and end up doing nothing about...lol.
I think it was John maxwell that said we as humans have the ability to think ourselves out of ideas...never heard any 'truer' statement, this is cos we refuse to start small.

yeah they say ideas rule the world very true, but its not just having 'em ideas count but running with those ideas and giving them life that matters most.

If we as humans wait for perfect conditions before moving in on our dreams we would never accomplish anything cos there will never be a perfect condition.

Finally I would lik to appreciate you for being a part of this group, our dreams would never ever be a reality without the privilege of access which you have give us. Thank You!

please feel free to invite your friends who share in our ideology...

move one positive step in the fultilment of your dreams today!
