Do a Headstand for a Fresh Perspective

As long as we are alive there will be problems, difficulties or challenges. Often, it is not the size of the problem that is the real problem but rather the size of the person in the tight spot.

By and large, the size of the problem is fixed or static. We may be a level 3 person today, but if we have a growth mentality (as opposed to a fixed mentality), we can grow and develop into a level 4 person with the capacity to handle a level 4 problem.

A problem is not the end of the world in and of itself. Put things into perspective, think bigger and wider the next time you encounter a seemingly insurmountable mountain. Train yourself and get acclimatised for your Mount Everest. Get all the help you can from those who have scaled it and learn as much as you can from them.

By the by, you would be able to look back and see that that many of your problems were like storms in a teacup as you become a seasoned ship captain on the inside of you. Never stop learning and growing; stay hungry and move forward to achieve a more accomplished life of purpose and fulfillment.

Do a headstand, so to speak, and if need be, and be reminded that a fresh perspective would open up new vistas of possibilities for you to become a conqueror and winner in life. There is a champion on the inside of you with unfolding genius and potential.     

Finding Freedom and Happiness

Just two anonymous quotes to pump up your thoughts so as to pursue your dream of finding freedom and happiness.

DOING WHAT YOU LIKE IS FREEDOM.

LIKING WHAT YOU DO IS HAPPINESS.

I can think of Leicester City Football Club players who must certainly be doing what they like and liking what they do as there are currently on the cusp of making soccer history by winning the Barclay Premier League title and being crowned as champions of England. 

Same goes for their fans who have willingly chosen to support their team for the longest time and have found a super-sized happiness beyond their wildest dream throughout the current season.

Ditto for coach Claudio Ranieri who will be getting a handsome bonus for winning the championship.

This is a fairy-tale sweet spot where the results add momentum to doing what you like and liking what you do.

Deck The Walls With Air-Conditioners

In a tropical country like Singapore where it is generally hot and humid, air-conditioners are ubiquitous and vital.

Take in this back lane view from Boat Quat where there are rows of heritage shophouses running mostly food and beverages businesses. 

Bronze Aviator Is As Good As Gold

When it come to finishing, gold is better than silver and silver than bronze. There is much loss and not much to rave about when it comes to bronze.

However, the rule changes when you have an attitude of celebrating every victory, be it big or small. Be a winner and celebrate your victory with a pair of bronze aviator sunglasses.

Not just any aviator, but the Bronze Aviator by Ray-Ban. 

Sushi for Breakfast, Anyone?

When it comes to breakfast, we all have our favourite such as cereal and milk, porridge, toasts, sandwiches, noodles and dim sum.

Not many I suspect would consider having sushi for breakfast. But, why not include sushi as a breakfast option, too, as food is all about texture, taste and visual, and to some extent, budget and availability, as well. 

The visual of sushi beckons me and when I have a craving for it with a mouth ulcer to boot (and hot stuff is best avoided), choosing sushi when they are already made available as early as 7:45 a.m. is a piece of cake -- make that a piece of salmon, a dollop of wasabi or a sprinkle of chopped red ginger.
