“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” ~ Roald Dahl ~
25 years ago, November 9, 1989, the world changed. 25 years ago, the Berlin Wall was brought down, and freedoms were reinstated. Not only between Eastern and Western Germany, but for all of Europe. With the end of the Cold War, and a change in Political beliefs, came civil unrest, and ultimately the collapse of the wall. It is truly amazing if you think of the change that can and does happen around the world.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ” Margret Mead
Let’s go and change the world, one small thing at a time.
Have you ever had a moment where everything comes together as one. You can see Everything so much more clearer then ever before. You often wonder WHY you were never able to see it before. It really doesn’t matter what problem was. It could be as simple as what to have for dinner?, or it could be seeing something for the first time to solve the ways of tomorrow. It all seems so simple and obvious once the clarity kicks in. That is what happened for me this weekend while attending a great conference in Edmonton Alberta. Everything that seemed so mountainous and vast became more tangible and doable. I have nicknamed this phenomenon as the Obliviously Obvious. The answers all not so complicated…the are obvious to the nearest person, and you have thought about it a thousand times and it was always too easy, so it could not be the correct answer…Could it?
The next time there is something that is puzzling, or feels to big to tackle, do yourself a favour and listen to the first thing that pops into your head. Don’t think to hard about it, and just give it a try. One of the speakers at the conference (Marshall Sylver) was great at throwing things back at you in the simplest form…”want to lose weight?…Eat less Move more”. Pretty darn simple. Common sense wins 99% of the time. If it seems to simple maybe it is because the answer really is that simple.
I’ll end with one of my favourite quotes, from one of my favourite Authors…(I know it has been posted before…but it is always worth repeating).
“Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple.”
Dr. Seuss
