The Secret,
What is the secret?
The Secret is now a famous movie, based on the book of the same name by Rhonda Byrne

The secret you will find is used by all the great people in History, and certainly most of the Leaders in your life too.

The Law of Attraction (Secret) is as old as time, and has been covered in various books at various times. The video ‘The Secret’ just packages it in a new powerfull way.
I recommend you personaly use this tool, and always send it to those you mentor, if they ‘get it’, they are worth working with, if they are cynical. they probably aren’t a leader.
One thing I’d stress though, this isn’t ‘make a list and wish’ , the movie does stress the importance of ACTION.

Enjoy. . .

As many of you know I was planning on making my debut in the London Marathon this year.Unfortunately because of work commitments and other things, I haven’t done enough training during the last four months, So I have to be realistic and perhaps call time on that one,for this year anyway.

The 2009 London Marathon takes place on April 26th, also my birthday. I thought this would increase my chance of gaining entry, but ofcourse this is London and every year it is highly oversubscribed, and entries are on a first come first served basis. Now the way round this is to get a guaranteed place with one of the charities, just raise (or pay yourself) the four figure sum.

In 13 weeks it is still possible to train and finish a marathon, but it would mean sacrificing a respectable time. For me any time over 4 hours is jogging, under 3hrs 45mins is running, enough said.

Today is day one again. Over the next 5 months I’ll build my training up to 30 miles a week of quality running and enter a couple of half marathons in the Summer. If that goes well, I’ll enter a 10 miler in November. When I break the hour for 10 miles, I’m a happy man lol. I’ll then decide if I want to continue training for a Spring marathon, (possibly Edinburgh) or start on my long overdue ‘End to End’ cycling challenge.

London Marathon? I’ll watch it on tv, be inspired to enter, and who knows, watch this space.

BLOGGING

Well it’s January 2009, the start of a new year, and I’ve finally got my blog up and running.
I’ll continue using other social tools  (Social Networking Sites, Discussion Forums, Video Sharing, etc) and link to my blog from some of them.
SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES like MySpace, Facebook,  etc. appeal to me for three reasons:
First: It’s pretty cool to connect with and find out about interesting people from all over.
Second: I do have friends in other countries so keeping in touch is quick and easy (and free).
Third: If someone (old friends from school etc) wants to find me they can, I’m on about 10 sites (but only 4-5 regular) so they have a good chance if they search.
DISCUSSION FORUMS are great places for creating a community and putting our minds together on a shared interest. I enjoy forums very much.
I’m a member of about 5 forums+, and a regular on about 3 or 4 of them.
VIDEO SHARING (i.e. YouTube) .and vb logging especially, is becoming very popular. If you just try to be yourself, people will appreciate that.
I will definitely be making more videos, and  you will see some here, watch this space.

So feel free to visit often, find out what interests me, my thoughts, cool stuff I find and share, places I go, what I’ve done, and what I want to achieve.
