Tuesdays and Thursdays - Making Ordinary Days Extraordinary
Leaving Manhattan after the Stationery Show on Monday May 21 of last year - I could not help but notice how much this cloud reminded me of the ones that appeared in the movie Independence Day. The ferry rocked as I snapped, so tilt your head for the full affect.
And while millions look to The Secret as something new, and others counter that Norman Vincent Peale knew about the Power of Positive Thinking in the 1950's, students of classical Rome know that the idea of believing in accomplishment plays a much greater role in achievement than anything else has been around for millenia.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca, more commonly known as Seneca, was a Roman philopsher and dramatist from the first century. “The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief” is his version of the secret.
Dare to dream, dream big, but along with dreaming comes the belief that those big dreams can come true. Without a huge sense of belief would
Wilbur and Orville ever have flown? Would Martha Stewart have become a billionaire by being essentially an uber-1950's homemaker? Without belief would Richard Branson have ever decided to compete against the world's favourite airline and launch Virgin Atlantic? Never.
It was a sense of belief in all they could do that propelled them to achieve, to seek new opportunities, and face new challenges. It was a bit of what Donny Deutsch calls "Why Not Me?" And why not? Save for a few people who blew through trust funds to achieve success, most of the great names in business were started by people who had huge dreams and a huge sense of belief. Belief in their ideas and dreams, and belief in their ability to achieve everything that was held in those dreams.
Dream big, dream bold. And believe in those dreams.
I believe amazing things are going to happen.
All you need is a collection of good books, Galison's reader's journal, a comfortable chair, good light, and a cat (or one of our UglyDolls).

The hour has passed in much of the world as seen here in Sydney where the usually illuminated shells of the Sydney Opera House have gone dark.
