21 days of lock-down to Discover

First Point of order. No I am not sitting on a mountain of money.

I am the owner of a start-up and am awaiting payment on invoices/investments since late January 2020. It's been a fight. I started a business in a technical recession a few years ago which was challenging even before the virus. Now with this pandemic, It just got more challenging. And so like you,  I too am in the red and very concerned on a bunch of business and livelihood related things.

But, I am also of the opinion that many great things were discovered in some of the hardest times throughout history. No one who arrived anywhere significant did so without a fight or a struggle. Some even found their possibilities in physically the hardest circumstances to survive. And yet they did.

So -

There's something pretty remarkable about struggle. It makes us truly tap into the power of our being. The stuff that's greater within us. And so these 21 days of a country lock-down, with all the challenges it presents to people like you and me, is also a great chance to Discover.

To truly reflect and to be at peace with things that are the way they are for now and to use our time carefully for when this passes. We always hear these things but we get caught up in activities or simply find excuses to not face ourselves. But with this global reset for Humanity, it could be easier.

21 days can be seen to be a time to enjoy the family which you get so busy trying to provide for that you don't.  It's a time to think about your business without being in the day to day action of it.  It's a time to discover what you want for yourself and to start the hobby you always wanted to. 21 days can be the time to start the plans you were planning to get to.

So use this time to truly Discover. I am reminded of it taking 21 days to form a habit. What will you be developing?

Yeah I know, I know -

It's going to be hard for many and I've never been exclusion to this, but I know that together we are strung by a few commonalities and a great one like the power to choose.

I hope you choose to Discover, Develop and to Do what's needed next to take you closer to your Life's purpose and Vision.

Sleep when you must!

  To have a company in a forward leaning sector where industrialist nations refer to it as an economic stumulus, the factories of the future and a next space race, can be somewhat extraordinary to say the least. This, together with keeping relevant through fast paced business developments, making real time and well considered decisions while remaining ethically bound to the wings of the vision, leaves you in constant think mode at hours deemed for rest. By who exactly is rest confined to conventional patterns and hours which anyway some of the world's most extraordinary people have shown to reject in sleeping at work desks for a bit or their production floors. And still achieved anyway. My Asian colleagues for weeks would do the rest, work, rest, refresh -all at work- thing.  I'm that person who sleeps only a few hours. I can also can sit for hours thinking and prefers to do so alone and even at the expense of most inviting company or events. I get that my friends in health and

No substitutes for basic health

Today I spotted someone from a distance with a cold sore that stood out as he was walking towards the treadmill. Much of what we know is those things are not a good sign of a immunity and are a form of a hepatitis/STD related, laying dormant to never go away as are with warts on hands etc. What I am saying is that even with advance medical choices, you still must excercise basic care for all else to complement health and wellbeing choices.  Washing of hands is necessary and no vitamins can substitute for that cleanliness if you just think over things like public door handles, elevator buttons, money and all the exchanges of it ..to then to use your hands to apply moisturizer your own face, to cook, to handle kids etc.  It's like the basic principle of wearing hairnets in industrial kitchens and with food handling or preparing of (massive respect to Big Mouth Sandton specifically as not spotted in other top end sushi bars frequented). Some basics apply and always.  Like no 'perf

Precipice Innovation

One has to wonder a few things over. In a single particular order when it comes to Climate Change, this remains paramount to address. For the longest, hardest times of relief and aid to matters of human doing and suffering, still, there was the element of geography and geopolitricks at play.  Without going into depth of what is meant by this, look at where poverty seemingly is by design ..alongside diseases and big name involvements. Yet still it could be considered of a human attribution for these unmet challenges. But when we look at very literal, visible climate related matters - we can't wait to act on these with interventions. If things can even be intervened. World encounters of mass biodiversity destruction like currently seen with Brazil's floods are starking eye openers,  once again. We know food systems are imbalanced and climate demands a complete overhaul in how to address industrial designs and processes. Greed and dominance still at play in whom gets to faster and
