A Kettle Watched! #inspiration #dreams #passion



Today I was catching up on my Facebook and watched a video sent by a friend. This video has gone viral - well in our little Facebook world it's viral. I watched this quite large dude dancing in a competition and immediately thought 'What the???' Then you get into it and see this dude is really great. He is doing something he cares for and has great passion for. - a real 'feel good moment' and immediately your finger starts hovering over the 'like' and 'share' symbols.

At this time you think to yourself - yeah! This guy is out there achieving his dreams! He is not sitting back watching the kettle boil.  This guy is steaming himself! He is not going to sit back and make his wish list, of what he could have done, longer than his list of dreams fulfilled. As the late and great Maya Angelou wrote 'Nothing can dim the light which shines from within!'  This guy shines.  This guy makes you believe that you can achieve, no matter what.  You have to believe in yourself and make it happen.

Yes, it is all well and good to watch the kettle boil and dream of the nice warm cuppa. But, be careful - it may boil dry in front of your very eyes. While waiting get your ingredients prepared.  Add a spoon full of passion, a teaspoon of love and a few grains of determination to your blend.  While your mixing, ring a few friends and invite them over to share your bounty.  Together you may very well share common ground and encourage others to develop a blend that inspires, teases, and tempts them to achieve dreams. Dreams they may previously regretted not brewing! 

At this moment I think to myself, don't just sit here with your finger hovering over the 'like' symbol. Achieve some dreams I have of my own.  Listen to some others and encourage them to get their bucket list active.  Listen to my partner, help him achieve more dreams. (God knows I could learn heaps from what he has achieved, being deaf and overcoming a disability, to inspire others)

So join with me, back away from the desk and get out there follow your dreams, encourage others to achieve despite disability, fear of discrimination and barriers.

Learn to love yourself a little.  Help others to love themselves.

Cheers
