What are You?

What am I?  I am a Treasure Gatherer.

Treasure gatherers are always moving forward; improving themselves & other people they come in contact with; assimilating knowledge and sharing same too.

Gathering what they can and offering it to others as inspirations and treasurable treasures. 

They dance in the sight, sound and light of knowledge - embracing it fully in their quest to change their lives, the lives of others and their world. 

Quoting Friedrich Nietzsche, he wrote, "Our treasure lies in the beehive of our knowledge. We are Perpetually on the way thither, being by nature winged insects and honey gatherer of the mind" 

They believe their life journey is not about drifting, but about moving, learning, inspiring and serving. 

They are travellers, entrepreneurs, writers, bloggers, coaches, parents and lives changers. 

They are TREASURE GATHERERS! 

And that's what I am. 
What are you?

And if you are - then you are the friends I have been waiting for.

Attitude Changes Everything

My day was gradually winding down after a very hectic but exciting day.

As usual,I usually would read something before falling asleep, even if it means some few lines. 

Suddenly the words from that passage hit me like a bolt; 
"Attitude is everything. Attitude is more important than your education, your past, age, experience,mistakes,., your everything".

I immediately closed the book. And what great chain of thoughts and deep reflections it ignited. 

It goes to buttress the saying a good book or word should not instantly just give you answer but cause a cosmic chain of thoughts within you culminating in various profound answers and truths hitherto unknown. 

Oh I see! I see!! I see now!!! 

This is just the beginning...
