Always look forward where the view is in color. If you believe in yourself and your journey,
the sun will always shine through the clouds on those dark days which can and do descend upon us.

Do you spend a great deal of time learning? Do you have an insatiable appetite for knowledge? Every day life has a way of teaching us lessons. Whether that’s in the classroom, on the street, in the home or the workplace. It’s the journey of life which gives us opportunities to open our eyes.
Sometimes we repeat mistakes until we learn the lesson in that particular behavior. Some people never learn it and are destined to repeat the same thing over and over again. When we realize we’ve made an error, we can rectify it and get back onto the path. That’s the lesson life teaches.
I endured an almost unbearable speech stammer at age seven. It was brought on by a teacher who thought it was unnatural for any person to write with the left hand. It was termed, ‘the hand of the devil’!
It became a dark and lonely ten years. I was constantly ridiculed and bullied by class members. I spiraled into a deep hole where I hid away from the world.
I cured myself at age 17 through some simple vocal exercises. The world was at last becoming brighter when I experienced a near-drowning episode. I was given an extraordinary opportunity and set about embracing my new path.
I also spent some time living on the streets to better understand the plight of the homeless and discover first-hand what drives people into loneliness as they become largely forgotten and literally invisible, as social outcasts. It put me firmly on my amazing journey.
As a result of my experiences, I created my own life-changing, integrity and value based ‘Seven Pearls of Spiritual Leadership Wisdom’ program.
This is a rich and powerful seven step process for business owners, leaders, managers and those seeking power and direction in their lives. It offers a concise and comprehensive blueprint to improve workplace harmony; elevate confidence; stimulate meaningful communication and help eliminate workplace negativity.
I wanted to know what drives so many business leaders forward, while others seem to be held back by some kind of ‘invisible’ barrier.
There’s no doubt that life can be difficult. Success is a choice we make. It takes a great deal of effort and hard work but in spite of what life puts in our path, we can move forward with passion and purpose.
There are countless people in the world who have been born into abject circumstances, yet they have the drive and determination to build a positive and powerful life for themselves.
So many find the courage to keep moving forward. It becomes that choice to embrace success and leave mediocrity behind which determines, the person we are and the life we can lead.
No-one is going to give us a happy and abundant future. There’s no one with a magic wand who can make everything alright. The future unfolds regardless of what we do. If we want to have success and prosperity as part of life then it’s up to us to create it. It’s important to begin today to build something positive for the future.
Each time we overcome an obstacle, the more confidence we have. That becomes a powerful building block for the future.
Next time someone tells you that something isn’t possible, don’t argue or get angry; simply move ahead with quiet optimism: Not to prove others wrong, but to prove yourself right and build the kind of future you want and deserve.
Learn to like, love, respect and believe in yourself; the attitudes of others will cease to have any meaning in or over your life. Find the courage to pursue your dreams and the future will bring so many more opportunities to your door.
You’re now an amazing mentor for others. You have confidence, compassion, generosity, respect and tolerance. That’s an extraordinary place to be in your life and in the lives of others.
Imagine the possibilities …..
Blessings,
Kieran
