Whatever you think of Michael Jackson one thing is certain - he made an impact  and left a legacy to others. I personally feel he brought a very mixed bag- of both positive and negative influences.  His life however is now over and at a young age - his time is out .  I think hearing of someones  premature death is always a stark reminder to take time-out to reflect upon the worth of our own lives and the impact/legacy we are leaving for others.  Time is the most precious commodity we have and it is worth serious thought as to what we are doing with it that is of real value. It is such a tragedy to just spend it ‘existing’ or as many people do - killing time. Our time should be used wisely and in a balanced fashion - both to enjoy and to give to something ‘bigger’ than ourselves. So my question really is -if your time were up would you be satisfied with WHO you were and WHAT you did/WHAT legacy you left to others? If your answer is NO - the good news is you still have time to change all that. My encouragement to you is DO something about it, today. Even starting with something tiny will set you on the road to growth and developing a life filled with value and worth.

Outwith the basic desire to succeed at something there is one component that is absoloutely crucial when it comes to success. That component is INFORMATION. Information on how to succeed. One of the things that sets apart those who succeed from those who dont is an ‘enquiring mind’. Those who determine to ’seek’ out the next step - the treasures hidden in secret places. The Bible teaches that if you ’seek’  you will ‘find’. This applies to every arena of life. For most people however this is not something they put into practice and instead of applying themselves to a seeking mentality they expect/hope what they need will just fall out of the sky for them - with no effort involved. Alternatively, they choose to believe that those who are successful are just more ‘lucky’ than others. This of course is not the case. Although we were created to succeed we were also given the privilidge and responsibility of being participants in the process. Sourcing information does take time, perserverence and the right attitude but always yields results in the long term. Often, the information you are looking for comes in bits and pieces - a little from one source and then a little more from another. It takes time to learn and process and most importantly - to apply the information you have gleaned. In life anything can happen at any time - you could lose everything in an instant in todays turbulent times. However, IF you have learned new skills and other types of life changing information then you have the ‘raw’ material from which to begin again - even more effectively. Glean learning not only from the ‘good things’ but also from the more difficult challenges you move through in life. This will help to set you up for a life that is ‘rich’ in more ways than one. So, start today to be more open, follow your intuitition, explore, study those you admire - look and EXPECT learning to come your way - crave it and receive it. Enjoy the experience and rise beyond the experience of ‘average’.

I really believe that true success is bigger than financial rewards/achievements and goes right back to fundamental attitudes and practices such as respect for yourself, others, the environment -including the very food we eat. I have learned over the last few years that we really ARE WHAT WE EAT. When you understand this it changes the way you eat - what you look for when it comes to food purchases as well as other types of goods. You start to ask more questions and to look for certain labels identifying  what I will term the RESPECT level of the product  you are considering- is it local, free-range, organic, fair-trade and so forth. Considering the quality of life of the animals that you are choosing to consume will give you a clear indication as to whether or not the meat you will eat is from most contented animals who have lived out a natural life or as in many cases the animals are stressed, sickly and/or demented. These kind of choices always have a knock on effect to your long term health and well-being. Consuming sickly/stressed flesh should tell you something about how your body will be able to utilise it. It is the same when buying other foods such as fruit and vegetables. Have they flown from the other side of the world? Does it have any nutritional value? Have the products been cruelly tested on animals? Of course you don’t want to get obsessive about it but on the other hand neither do you want to be ignorant about these factors either. Making gradual changes to some of your shopping habbits is the best way to go about it. Remember as in everything - what you sow is what you reap. So next time you are out shopping ask yourself how you are showing respect to yourself/others buy what you are buying and most of all enjoy the pleasure of making more informed, successful choices.
