So last nights blogg was a catch up and reflection of the past few months, little did I know that life would have turned out the way it has. Got to ask the question where do I want it to go next?
This is the first in a serious of blogs, that will chart my progress as I get some projects in life off the ground, My life plan or business plan of my life if you like. I am holding alot of cards close to my chest, as events will unfold, but it will be interesting.
One thing I did forget to mention was the return of a long lost friend back in to my life, I have known this person on and off for about 20 years now, and I used to spend many weekends sweeping his buses out as a kid. He has shaped some of my ways. This person came back in to my life just before the weekend I went to Scotland.
Talking about Scotland, the Gorgious city of Edinburgh which is one of my favourite places, is part of my Clans ancestoral home, (the other place is Inverness), which explains why I feel at home there.
Right down to business, I am now 34, at a stage in life, where I have done my dream job now I want more out of life. I know I am not ready to settle down, marry and start a family yet, dont think I ever will be to be honest, as I know there is so much I want to do and would be unfair on a future wife and family. Sounds harsh but I am being realistic.
If I was to have a family I would want to devote alot of time to them, I know I cant at the mo, but maybe a year down the line I will think different.
So the last few years have been interesting to say the least I know I havent really spoke about the events but Somethings are best buried. But they have taught me a vital lesson, and that is the most important thing we must learn, we can all sit a University course, but sometimes the school of life is the best way to learn.
Now we all reach points where we have to take a look at our selves and see where we are going wrong, where we need to improve, our strengths our wekaness. How many of us actually take time to sit and and actually do this, I dont, because I am caught up in the rigours of life.
A very wise man,(and he will know who he is), once said to me, you have a problem, stand back and look at it, then the solution will be staring you in the face.
The Chinese have the same word for opportunity and threat. Infact the chinese are wise people, they speculate, well they leased a piece of land to the British empire, and what happened? Well it was developed in to a world centre of commerce for the brits to hand it back in 1997 fully delveloped. They only subscribed to communism in the last century, But I am digressing.
My strengths are I work hard, and care about things, my weakness is I work hard and care about things, we have to look at differant perspectives. You watch the news about the war in Iraq and we get one side of the story, watch Al-jazeera and you get the other side of the story. I do look at both sides of a story. To quote Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow in one of their songs there is are 3 sides to a story, mine and yours and the truth. never a true word said.
I know Iam at that time of life where I can still be in control before age starts going against me. Only time will tell, Stay tuned for the next installment.
