Just get out of bed!

There are moments in one’s life where a warm bed, sheets and doona looks so comforting. It’s not that you’re tired and that you need a few extra forty winks, it’s the thoughts of, “I just don’t want to try anymore” that can overwhelm one’s heart. It’s in these moments when you need to find something that will empower you to just keep trying.

Watch me burn!

Never let the bad times get you down. I love this Daily Motivational Memo that my dad, Peter Sinclairwrote:

‘In a world that says, ‘You can’t', shout from the rooftops, ‘I can and I will.’
Find your roof and stand firmly upon it. Pitch a tent there and shout with the loudest shout you can muster with those lungs of yours. And when the winds try to blow you off the roof, and the rains endeavour to dampen your spirits, and when the fire brigade come with their ladders to urge you to get down off your roof, you stay put. Don’t be moved. ‘They’, yes that group called ‘they’, said that you’d never do it, never amount to anything and would never set the world on fire. But you just look straight back in their eyes and say, ‘Watch me burn!’

What is passion?

Passion, this is something that I’ve been thinking about lately. What makes me passionate? What makes me have a strong emotion, a rage, a love and a belief? What is something that I know without a doubt in my mind that … “This is what life is all about!”

This is how the dictionary defines “passion”:

1. a strong feeling or emotion

2. heat: the trait of being intensely emotional

3. rage: something that is desired intensely

4. mania: an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action

5. love: any object of warm affection or devotion
