Hold back no more; break the mold, it only harms; the ambition you hold.
Be strong and delve; into your dreams, Things only come; to who be bold.
Cast off the shadows; that drag you deep, Chains of creation; that you did reap,
Our passion and hopes; will fuel you far, But determination; success will keep.
Pass through the doubters; they matter not, Some people scheme; whilst others plot,
But dreams can break; all negative vibes, & like a star; you’ll burn so hot.
& inspiration; that you will glow, A world below; you will now show,
That a dream can reach; unknown heights, & once you start; you will not slow,
So understand; all you can be, And let yourself; today be free.
You can achieve; all that you desire, You only need; to light your inner fire.

Fuel the fire; that burns within, Never give up; or give in.
A DAILY DOSE OF INSPIRATION 14/2/11
There are times recently that you are far away. Life has taken our paths into different directions. Success and ambition drives us both forward, achieving goals that seem to appear on our separate paths but always knowing that we are thinking about each other.
As there is no success worth reaching and no ambition worth achieving unless we reach there together. 12 years ago you barged your way into my heart, loudly, as only you could do, whilst still radiating beauty and poise. Together, the two angels that we have been blessed with, are a credit to the person you are.
On this day, of saint valentines, I know we are apart, but you will always carry my heart with you where ever you are. Eternally yours, My darling wife, I love you.

The balance of good and bad is universal. It is the topic of countless wonderful novels, movies and plays. From the cosmic interplay of elements on the largest stage, to microscopic battles within your very soul, it rages on eternally.
Every step forward you make is fraught with treacherous temptation, that you feel will send you tumbling into the black hole of darkness and despair. But be brave. Be sure and confident that the direction you take will be full of happiness and joyful experiences. We are what we attract, that is the universal law.
And if, just if you do take a wrong step; Do not fear the drop, for it will open a path of light in front of you. Doors will open from failure, it will create windows of opportunity where you will be able to float on clouds of optimism and realize every dream, every goal and every ambition.
As wrong choices, if we learn from them, are the stepping-stones to success. So be sure of your steps, be true to who you are and be everything you can be as your next step could be the leap of faith that tips the scales in your favor.

Blaze a trail of hope and glory,
Live out your dreams; create your story,
Fuel your passionate desires,
Light that inner most; burning fire,
For the path ahead is yours to pave,
Where ambitions wait that you do crave,
Help others whilst you lay each stone,
Cement the friendships; don’t go alone,
For each and every friendship brings,
Heartfelt help; that gives you wings,
To soar amongst the angels keep,
Sat on your shoulder when you weep,
A life of triumph for you awaits,
Stop holding back fear makes you late,
For you were born to live a life,
With both happiness; tinged with strife,
Each is balanced to make you strong,
Each designed as the road is long,
And every step forward you make,
Worth every effort that it takes,
As every chapter that you write,
Will help others; like a beacons light.

If I lose my way around the next corner, it will not be a disaster as I have previously thought. No, in fact it will be the greatest thing that can happen to me, as experience has shown me through the years.
We walk along a path we know, seeing all the same old things and sharing the same conversations, some call it a rut but for me it is just a normal passage of life that has us so focused on our responsibilities that we have an in built auto pilot that kicks in to keep moving us forward.
So get lost, literally lose yourself in this world. When we are lost, or to be more precise in different situations to our normal routine, we really discover who we are, we come alive with every synapse firing at incredible speeds. Don’t worry you will not stay lost forever, as everything in our life is about balance and cycles.
But the person you were before losing your way will be only a distant memory, for the one who emerges will have their eyes wider, heart filled and spirit charged with all the expectancy that life can take away when we do not take a leap into the unknown.
It may be dark now. But once you arrive, you will light up the world like a shooting star.

There will be clouds ahead, but I will choose what kind.
The trials and tribulations we face have answers we sometimes do not wish to see.
Words cut deeper than any object and truths can deliver a deathly blow to hope and dreams.
But know clouds of anger and self defeat will not clear your spirits sky.
For dark clouds feed off anger, envy and defeat.
They fill and swell, hanging heavy over your shoulders, like the world weighing you down.
Do not feed these clouds.
Never allow the clouds to grow.
Each drop of rain from these clouds cuts deeper than a daggers blade.
As each rain drop washes away your colourful spirit.
And leave behind a grey empty void.
No one else can feed your clouds, as all those depressions come from within you.
We may argue that external influences cause our pain.
But know that no one can take away the spirit you are, but you.
You can remove external influences,
You can pas through the crowd of doubters and neigh sayers.
Find a space in this world, where the only clouds you create, are ones where dreams flourish.
And you feel the rays of sunshine illuminating your soul.
Say goodbye to darkness, and walk with me in the light, today.
Have a creative day.

DARK SIDE OF THE LENS – A WONDERFUL TALE OF DOING SOMETHING YOU LOVE
I have watched this mini documentary many times and I just love it. Everything about this including the cinematography, poetry and especially the natural voice over work incredibly well to give this documentary such raw emotional and powerful experience.
The passion that comes through the tale of doing something you love, the sequences of images and the spellbinding words full of honesty are simply beautiful. It is rare that I am lost for words when it comes to reviewing something creative, but this comes very close. When something is created like this it is so compelling that it transfixes you with scene after scene of glorious imagery. It is simply wonderful. Enjoy!

“It is often the times in our lives where we face the biggest challenges that we look back and realize how it defined who we are today.”
How many times in life have you faced an obstacle in your life that seemed to stop you in your tracks and leave you searching desperately for an escape? Be it a personal tragedy, trouble at work or just that feeling you are standing still in your life whilst everyone else moves past you. But then, when you look back at a later date you realize that in those dark and difficult times you grew and discovered so much more about yourself than at any other time.
As you grow older you realize nothing is permanent, both good and bad, as well as nothing is ever as good or bad, as it seems in that split second we are living the moment. You begin to look at problems in the way they should be looked at, as a challenge where you can grow. Every challenge we face in life is different and teaches you things about who you are today and who you will be tomorrow. So the next time a difficult moment appears on your path understand that it is actually an opportunity to grow. It makes the world a much more interesting place to live and fear of problems just dissolves. Have a creative day.
