Developing our Opportunity Consciousness.

Every day we are presented with amazing opportunities.We might not know we are… but we are.Many of us don’t think we are… but it’s true.We just don’t recognise them.Mostly, we don’t see them because we’re not really looking.Or we don’t know what to look for.Ultimately we waste them.Day in, day out.And continue ‘the struggle’.The struggle [...]

Two nights ago I had a phone call from a guy who I’ve known for a while.Quite a while.Danny.Over the last few years he has had two major physical and psychological battles; drugs [...]
