Be Inspired

Now then, sorry it's been a while far too much sleeping, working and generally doing nothing, going on to remember to blog!

I was reminded by Jonny boy that I had been remiss, and as such here's a little thought for you which follows on from a book I've been reading.

There are so many ways that we can make excuses for not doing something, not trying something or just not having the courage to follow our dreams that it would be impossible for me to list them all, yet everyday we meet someone extraordinary who is doing something no-one else has done.

A prime example comes from my jogle blog where at Tarbet I met the head waitress who had had a brain tumour less than six months previously, yet was a shining beacon of happiness, and yes if your a cynic you can probably say her priorities had changed since her recovery etc etc, but that misses the point.

She wasn't telling people about it in a look at me and give me sympathy way, she was there saying look at what has happened and be inspired.

Going back to the book I have been reading called " Liquid thinking" by a guy called Damian Hughes he has all manner of people who have inspired him, to follow his dreams to write a book etc, and the quote I love from it comes from the famous Australian rugby league coach Wayne Bennett, whose parting message to his players each time they went out on the pitch was simple.

All he said was " Don't die with the music still in you"

Who said rugby players don't understand such comments, certainly not any English Rugby League supporter today after the Aussies have treated us to just how to put that message into action!
