The Next Chapter: Joining Chelsea Football Club
Every once and a while our lives get to a crossroad where a decision needs to be made so that we can progress.
One of the first posts i wrote for this blog entitled Just Another Chapter In My Story explained how a series of events had occurred in my life. I ended that post writing this analogy:
Every challenge is like a chapter in a story; the story of your life. While the chapter will eventually come to an end, it does so to let another chapter begin. The next challenge will not be the final chapter in your life, and as your story goes on, each chapter will make it easier to understand what this story is about.

Who Can We ‘Rely On’ Really?
Family? Friends? Employers? Politicians? I could go on. From the way my Twitter followers act it appears the only thing they rely on is Eastenders being on the TV four times per week… and when it isn’t… you better find a World War bunker.
The topic of relying on people is a general discussion and it amazes me how the consensus is that you have to rely on people in life. But do you really?
To be perfectly honest, i find Bruce Wayne/Batman to be much more of a role model when it comes to proving that with determination, self belief and being proactive, you can achieve without having to rely on anyone else.

“It’s not who i am underneath, but what i do that defines me.”
With this in mind, i wrote a post about relying on people, and whether it is within yourself or others that defines what you stand for. Cos Who Can We ‘Rely On’ Really?

As intelligent specimens we are blessed with the ability to do pretty much anything, bar fire red beams out of our eyes or fly.
We can have whatever we desire; if we use our heads to find a way of getting it, and we can be whatever we want to be; again if we use our heads.
Yet i find as time progresses, as technology enhances and as everything appears to become easier; people are generally making life more and more complicated for themselves.
This begs the questions ‘Are We Spoiled By Technology?’
