When I was younger I was travelling alone through France and stayed at a hotel in Cannes. I looked out of the widow at night and suddenly saw the stars as Vincent Van Gogh must have done. In a moment I understood his paintings in a new and much more profound way.
I was sent a quote by a consultant the other day by Ralph Waldo Emerson an American essayist, lecturer and poet in the mid Nineteenth Century.
" When it is dark enough you can see the stars."
When life is in turmoil and say work pressure is immense and family life challenging it can open our eyes to new vistas and experience. Suddenly walking down the street you see buildings in a new light.
True sports men and women relish meeting the challenge of their closest and best competitors because it brings the best out of them and takes them to a new level of attainment.
The same is true in a working environment. So the message for me is do not shrink from the challenges - see how they can open your mind and life to new experiences.
