Welcome to Monday Morning: Vision

If you can DREAM it, you can DO it.

Walt Disney

Thought for the week

All the truly great inspirational people in the world had a dream. Perhaps they are recognised for their greatness because, not only did they have really big dreams but, they were also able to make those dreams happen. From a psychological point of view, we know that the bigger the goal the more compelling and exciting it will seem.

Welcome to Monday Morning: Your enemies

Love your enemies, for they will tell you your faults

Benjamin Franklin

Thought for the week

The Native American people believe that your enemies are your best teachers. The people in our lives often act as mirrors. Quite often people become our enemies because they strike some chord in us. They press our buttons or they make us feel uncomfortable. These are signs that we need to look at ourselves. Only when we feel comfortable with our enemies do we know there is nothing more to learn from them.

Challenge for the week

Take a moment to think about the people in your life who you consider difficult. What have you got to learn from them?
