On the wall facing your bed, stick this message, in those cool neon glow-in-the dark colours, so that this is the last thing you read at night and the first thing you read in the morning:

Today I will aim for the mighty tiger and not a lame goat. My hunting ground is vast, so let me circumnavigate 45,000 kilometres, in search of the greatest need that warrants my attention, that urgently seeks to be hit by my ultimate weapon, that of selfless love and selfless service.

If today I have dreamt of ambitions and goals, worthy of a lion king's glory, and in any felt let down by circumstances out of my control, let me be content because I would rather aim for a tiger and lose than aim for a lame goat and win everytime.

Eventually every action of mine everyday will be driven and motivated by the highest goal Man is ever capable of achieving. If every day, I operate at such a level, how do you think I would be feeling?

If the wall facing your bed isn't that big, I'm sure the above can be summarised. Suggestions welcome! Please leave your brilliant one liners and share them right here!

Hunt Away!

Seek positive inspiration from anything and everything. With the blessings of Mother Nature, inform dear Katrina that you would like to take the world by storm too. From the desk of the film editor, learn that the climax and happy ending would not be complete without frame 13, part of that dreaded scene when you lost faith in yourself. From those stories in Forbes and Business Week, be rest assured that everything is to be gained from the tiniest first sacrifice, and nothing ever lost from the biggest that is yet come. The world is a stage and to perform well, to feel your true character, you do need the feedback of other actors. But don't forget the props, the little things in the background that make everything so real and meaningful.
