No matter how tough or easy things get, Clarity helps you win the day.

It doesn't matter if you are winning accolades for your successes or sitting in the gutter with your tough times, Clarity is the one thing that engages you with the task at hand and gives you the best chance of success at whatever you are doing.

So if you find yourself at the bottom of a pit with slippery walls....time to reflect and seek out your clarity.

And if you find yourself at the top of whatever mountain you have been climbing.  Once again, it's time to reflect and seek out your clarity.

Kipling was right.

Success and Failure are both imposters.

It's so easy to both lose and find yourself in both success and failure.

We all need analogies and heroic stories.....

 Life is lived best in epic style.

When the pressure is on, look to the classics of literature, legend and art.

Mahler, Shakespeare, the Greek Pantheon, the Mahabharata, the Bible, the Koran.

Epic, epic Epic!

(In fact, epic even looks strange spelt without a capitol "E" or an expllanation mark somewhere close.

We need this input, we need to elevate ourselves, we need to find comfort and inspiration in the giganticean acts and qualities of the Gods and Goddesses, the Heros and Heroines.

Now, if you don't need this stiff medicine, you might want to reconsider how, and in which arena, you are playing your life.

As Helen Keller said: "Life is a daring adventure....or nothing at all!"

The sword of Damocles

Shakespeare talked about it in Henry IV.

John F. Kennedy used in in his speeches.

So many of my clients are living with this mythical sword suspended magically above their head, ready to drop at any moment. It's probablly because their goals are so big, so important, so much at stake. 

You only get one of these swords if you are playing a big game for big stakes.


Wikipedia says: "The sword of Damocles is frequently used in allusion to this tale, epitomizing the imminent and ever-present peril faced by those in positions of power. More generally, it is used to denote the sense of foreboding engendered by a precarious situation"

Ever since I've been exploring producing a tool to help people sleep, I've been hearing from clients, friends, and people I simply meet, about this sword.

They may not have read Shakespeare, but you can see the sword gleaming between their words.

The wonderful irony of it all is that the sword rarely falls, and if it does, the person below it is so well prepared for whatever consequences or scenarios that occur, that the outcome is never as bad as what was keeping them up at night, staring at their ceiling.

I guess worry does have it's function.

Another great Ali Quote!

Champions aren't made in the gyms.

Champions are made from something they have deep inside of them - a desire, a dream, a vision.

They have last-minute stamina, they have to be a little faster, they have to have the skill, and the will.

Muhammad Ali

An adventure is only an inconvenience rightly considered. An inconvenience is only an adventure wrongly considered. G.K. Chesterton

Life is not about your total moments of breath, it's about the moments that take your breath away!

Many people don't take care of their money, til they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time. -Goethe

If you really want to do something, you will find a way. If you don't, you will find an excuse.
