Vision, passion and determination- 2010 is my year

My wife and I have been married for 21 and a half years. Our two sons just celebrated finishing school cert and HSC. As I sit and reflect on what it’s been like for me to be a husband, a first Dad and the 10th time CEO - the failures in my life have prepared me for what I’m undertaking in my responsibilities in all 3 of those roles.

When someone knocks you down, you get back up. When something destroys what you’ve built, you rebuild it. When someone tells you that it’s impossible or it can’t be done by you, then do it passionately.

Sometimes I’m right. Sometimes I’m wrong. Either way, I’ll always give my opinion and give it my best go no matter what the stakes. For that- I am righteous. For that- I am grateful.

I like this video on YouTube because it’s the definition of what I believe life should be. I believe that it’s almost a visual collage of what I visualise my life to be and our company to become. I wanted to share it with those people that visit my blog and read what I have to say. I’ll add one more thought to this post before I get back to work and load the video for you to watch and enjoy.

Whoever came up with the saying “It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how you play the game.” was a loser. They were justifying failure and avoiding admittance of defeat by allowing theirself to feel some sort of victory in knowing that they tried. I say live your life. I say have a go. If you fail- so what! If you fail twice- who cares. I say if you know how to accept failure, regather your creative thoughts and add a dash of optimism and a spec of hope- then and only then can you mold failure into success and breed more successes to follow. Claim your life. Claim your destiny. Demand more of yourself, expect less of others and watch what happens. 2010 is my year- I already know it… but what I don’t know is just how big it’s going to be… thanks for reading.
