So tell me, how full is your bucket?

The bucket I’m referring to contains the source of our energy, vitality, leadership, drive and influence. It’s the bucket that makes us feel like we’re running on rocket fuel or running on fumes and its level plays a huge role in how effective we are in our pursuit of the life we want to be living.

When our bucket is near the top we have energy to get the job done, nothing is too big a challenge and our enthusiasm is infectious, others catch the vision and are inspired to power ahead. When its near the bottom things seem too big and too hard, we become ineffective and we’re at risk of throwing in the towel. While we’d all love to be running on full all the time, the reality is that life drains the bucket, that’s just the way it is.

So if we want to continue to be effective we need to learn how to refill our bucket.

Our bucket is filled by finding those things that make us feel alive, relaxed, rested, energised and excited. We need to do them at least weekly but preferably daily and we simply have to schedule them into our lives if we want to continue to be the best people we can be. They come in all shapes and forms, from hanging with people socially, spending time with that special someone or the kids or grand kids, playing sport, sleeping, reading, surfing the net or whatever you do that lets you relax and refill.

Personally I know the best way for me to recharge is down time by myself. Taking time to just play my guitar, or be alone in my study to read, reflect or even type posts. This fills my bucket and helps me to face whatever tomorrow will bring. If I don’t do this regularly then I become tired, ineffective and down right grumpy and that’s no good to anyone!

So, how full is your bucket? Does it need a top up? If so, let’s have a chat soon to talk through ways you can refill, renew and stay effective.

Failure is a dirty word in our culture and I think it’s a big mistake to label it this way.

Bold statement isn’t it?

We’re told every day in our homes; schools; workplaces; on TV and by our peers that we better not fail because to do so means we’re somehow less of a human being or that we’re no good or we’ll never get where we want to be in life. Society is set up to honour the winners and sweep the losers under the rug never to be spoken of again. That’s a tough world to be part of!!

But the one thing no one ever points out is that failure actually brings success when its leveraged correctly.

Think about it, how many people do you know succeeded in anything at the first attempt?

No one right?

It’s said that Thomas Edison failed 700 times to find a substance to use as filament in a light bulb. When asked about it he famously said ” I have not failed 700 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work.”

See the difference?

Everything worth something takes time and effort to achieve. It takes trial and error to establish what will work and the only way to find what works is to find what doesn’t work!

Failure shouldn’t be viewed as something bad when its used as the catalyst that motivates us to find the right way forward.

Success through failure requires patience and determination to pick ourselves back up and to keep pushing on. It requires clear direction, a laser focus on the end goal to keep us motivated when things are no going as planned.

Those who learn from their mistakes are the ones who achieve what they desire.

What goals are you aiming for? What failures are you learning from? In what direction are you heading?

Wisdom is a constant questioning of where you are. And when you stop wanting to know, you’re dead. You’re walking, but you’re dead. – Billy Connolly

I recently came across this quote from comedian Billy Connolly. It was part of an exhibition of photos taken by award winning photographer Andrew Zuckerman. Zuckerman traveled the world to photograph iconic elders and ask them what it means to be wise. There are quite a few interesting quotes but this one stood out as one that applies to all our lives, right here, right now.

I believe that we need to ask ‘why’ in order to keep growing and making a difference with our lives. This quote sums it up nicely… if we stop asking ourselves why we do what we do and become complacent with where we are, then we’re as good as dead. I’m not advocating that we need to change things for the sake of change, more so that we need to know why we do, say and believe what we hold to. In doing so we have a better understanding of where we are and where we want to be, giving us direction and purpose.

When we understand the “why” the “where, when and how” often follow.

Can I help you to understand the “why” in your life?

I love January 1st. I love that it represents a new start, a fresh change, a tangible, measurable opportunity to leave the old behind and embrace the new, an opportunity to implement those changes you have been talking about for years, and get on with making the rest of your life really count.

None of us can change what we did or did not do in 2010…but we can make the most of every opportunity that 2011 brings. We can choose what to focus on, what to invest our time and resources in and what’s of importance for us.

In 2011 you get to choose…are you going to keep living in…

Regret land, Wishful thinking land, Fantasy land, Negativity land, Self pity land…

Or are you going to deal with those thoughts, habits, attitudes and behaviors that have been holding you back so that you can move towards finding purpose, meaning and direction to live the life you want to live?

It all starts with a choice…

So what’s it going to be? What kind of 2011 are you going to live?

Why not make 2011 a year to remember? The choice is yours!

What is your passion?

What do you LOVE to do?

What fuels your fire and makes you want to leap out of bed in the morning?

If you had a choice to do anything you wanted to do with your life what would it be?

Passion is that strong desire to do something because we love it, it brings us joy and a sense of fulfillment. When we are doing it nothing is better, we’re motivated, excited, ambitious and extremely focused.

Ever been like that?

Do you know what I’m talking about?

How many of us actually do that every day, do that as our job, live to fulfil our passion?

I’m not talking about some hedonistic pursuit, I’m talking about that “something” that we really want to do but for many reasons we just cant seem to justify pursuing it. Life gets on top of us, we work a tedious job because we have responsibilities, bills need to be paid and we can’t see beyond our current circumstances.

Sound familiar?

Let’s face it, that’s life for most of us and its just how it is for now. Very few of us are blessed enough to be pursuing our passion full time, but you know that’s totally OK! Life isn’t all about getting what we want but it is about balance, and this is where it gets important.

Everyone knows that we need to have good balance in our lives if we’re to stay physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually healthy. We need a work/life balance, a balanced diet and regular exercise, enough sleep vs. waking hours to name but a few.

But often we don’t balance our pursuit of our passions with the “must do” of everyday life and that’s not healthy. Sure we can be over zealous and pursue them at all costs but more often than not we somehow feel that its not as important, we can do without it or that it’s selfish to pursue those things… I don’t believe that to be so.

To ignore our passion, or more to the point, ignore making time to pursue it, is selling ourselves short of the person we’re meant to be. Whether its, music, gardening, reading, sport, business, writing, scrap-booking, social justice, family or whatever, that passion is important, dont neglect it!

Passion  drives us to be focused, committed and active. Think about the characteristics of someone who has a passion for something. They’re always talking about it, they strive to know everything there is to know about it, they live it and breath it and when it comes to pursuing it they are laser focused.

Passion is a good thing because it motivates us to get going, to be active and to get things done.

Is your life out of balance? Do you need to set aside time to pursue your passion? I’d love to hear about your passion and work with you to pursue it!
