Life Key - The Way of the Tortoise

Steps are a key part of living a great life.  And so is starting.

Today many of you will begin a rewarding journey. Like every journey, it starts with but a single step.

That single step is an important one. It must...



•Start in the right direction.


•Have purpose and motivation. Decide now that you, too, will succeed. 


•Be only the first of many steady steps. This is not a race. Speed kills.

The most important decisions in any business are made early. Take your time and get your first step right. Don't feel you have to "do it all" by tomorrow...


Steady progress wins the day.

"I think the only way to learn is to give it a try" - Sir Richard Branson

Sir Richard Branson is the bearded entrepreneur who, it seems, will do anything to gain publicity for his various enterprises.

Branson says, 'If you sit down with accountants and look at profit and loss projections, they will manage to come up with all sorts of reasons why something will not work well. I think if you have a gut feeling about something, then trial and error can produce the best results. I think the only way to learn is to give it a try.'

It is this very attitude that contributed to his huge success!

What are you going to "give a try" to today?

A Shaft of Light from Igor Stravinsky

"Even when I do not feel like work,



I sit down to it just the same.


I cannot wait for inspiration, and inspiration at best


is a force brought into action by effort."

Igor Stravinsky

 
Seems like HARD WORK is again the key.
 
I had better get back to work!

Arts and Movie Festival - Easter Sunday @Hillsong Church Brisbane

Wow!!! What a great night at the Arts and Movie Festival - Easter Sunday @Hillsong Church Brisbane last night.

And Stan Walker sang the amazing song, I Surrender. 

Here are a few photos I snapped on the iPhone before, during and after the diverse displays and service.


The Easter Monday Sun Rises over the Backyard Tent

And I notice that the moon is still up in the western sky... "Go to
bed, moon!"
