Inspiration for the week
I had a thought. The thought being; what will be my motivation this week, what is going to excite me to do new things, what would I like to accomplish this week?
Every Monday I will share with you something that has inspired me, my thoughts and any images, stories or experiences.
Here is a little quote from me "if you fail to plan you plan to fail" I was told this by a dear friend of mine and he always related a story to this saying.
Often we go through life without planning anything, this generally leads to many things that could be bad. Not having some savings for a rainy day, procrastinating things of importance. These are just a few example of stuff we should all be planning, or at least have in a plan.
Sometimes plans do not go right, but that is the beauty of it all. When a plan fails a lesson appears, whether we take it and learn from it or not. Life is unexpected and plans you make will not always work, or might even need to get changed, in the moment.
Always set a goal and provide the plan to accomplish the goal, you only fail once you stop and give up.
Just on a little side note for self improvement. I will be doing pushups, situps and squats for the amount of $$$ (ratio;$1:1) I earn on this post and will give a short feedback every day at the end of each post. This will be split in equally between all 3. Any not done will carry onto the next day.

Thx for sharing
So Nice
Thank you for this dragonslayer109. I noticed that you are from South Africa. That reminded me of some inspirational advice I received many years ago... In '92 I had the honour to study African drumming from a master drummer from Ghana, Kwasi Dunyo. ( https://www.facebook.com/frederickkwasi.dunyo ) Kwasi told me, "The music you make with the drum should be a conversation between you and your oldest friend - a conversation with no dishonesty, only truth and purity, as only a conversation with your oldest friend can be. Only then will the music you make with the drum be pure and truthful."
I have applied this philosophy to many aspects of my life. If I can strip away the dishonesty in anything I put my mind to I can achieve truth in that task.

thanks @dragonslayer109 for always inspiring us .... this is truly a post to remember...
love the assertion that
"When a plan fails a lesson appears"
life is full of lessons... and what we make of it separates us from others.... thanks as always ...
Uplifting! Thanks so much!
You just said all true man, if our plans are not working to achieve our goals, change the plan.

I wonder if reverse psychology works, Plan to fail but then get it all right. :D
