What is stopping you? Opportunity Knocks

Troutbeck Nyanga,Zimbabwe

I find there are moments in life when we are presented with a new direction, exciting and filled with great opportunities. It stirs the heart and demands a response. It evokes excitement, nervousness, maybe even re-ignites the child in us, who wants to rush in head first. Drop what you are doing and spontaneously follow your heart... yes/no?

What do we do? In most cases, rightly we weigh it up, look at the opportunity, the practicalities and financial implication, the impact on family and work etc. Making the informed decision, planned and well executed, this we are taught results in success. Yes, in most cases this is very true and is definitely the route to take. However, there are times when taking our courage by the throat and just do it,let life open door never thought possible. A step of faith into a God given opportunity.

My young couple packed up bought a car and caravan and set off to experience work and travel round Australia, you go guys; a dear friend who takes a stirring from God and comes to Africa ends running an orphanage; cousins who trave,l shoe string style and see the world and their lives are changed forever. What am I prepared to respond to when the opportunity presents itself? In life, in love, in work, in relationships ...

What is your Passion?

Passion is a word so often touted out in many conversations these days and as I reflect on it asking myself what is my "passion" ..but what is your passion? I'm asked, having even been told ""you have no real passion" horrified I searched deeper within.. Yes I love teaching, music, church life and people, hobbies and the like but my lasting drive ? My kids. Being a Mum is the very best part of me and I state this unashamedly. Now they are grown and living independently but the passion remains, to see them happy, healthy and making their journey of life successfully what ever they see that to be.  This is a shout out to all the passionate Mum.... you rock! Sometimes I feel a more accurate question would be what drives/motivates you to action? What is at your core? In Network Marketing ask what is your WHY? This can not only drive and motivate us but change us considerably throughout our journey of life. This photo speaks of a huge moment in our li...

For the Times They are a Changing....

I'm loving this rendition of a great Bob Dylan song.. Tracey Chapman really nail it!! Simple acoustic guitar and a beautiful voice with a message that  once again is very relevant. Its more than the whole "We didn't do it that way... " etc. No, our world is changing so rapidly with technology and the internet highway itself is having a massive change that will affect business and how things are done in general. Hugely exciting yet quite terrifying  in content and speed. Language is undergoing massive change. No longer just different to each country but  detailed and different to each application; texting, computers, internet money,blockchain technology. We speak, read listen to each other and can be so lost even in your own mother tongue! Education is changing shape, school will be very different in the near future and specializing demanded at a way younger age. Study online is massive and linked to some of the best institutions worldwide allowing greater a...
