Time to re generate.
In out hectic modern lifestyles, we need to take a break and re generate ourselves, re charge the batteries so to speak, I find great inspiration in nature, the wide open spaces, the sound of chirping birds, gurgling water streams and the clean fragrances of natural herbs and plantlife.
Then there is natures elements that humbles us and makes us realise there are things beyond our control, but we need to take precautions, and make preparations for when Nature misbehaves.
I spent a weekend hiking in our mountains, this past weekend, a physical feat intended to test the body and mind, to see if I still had it in me to complete 2 days in nature, and maintain positivety.
It is much like our online business, we have to take precaution and plan ahead, strategise as to the next move in our never ending endevour to build a successful business, nature has a way of inspiring human nature. I find positivety in seeing how animals and plantlife exist and survive even when their natural habitat is threatened or changed by negative impacts of humans and/or natural phenomina.
I maintain positivety by surrounding myself with positive minded people, mostly as yes, it is my choice to do so, and it does wonders for motivation, not that I never make time to uplift others when inspiration and motivation is required, I do my fair share to help others as my motto is,
"In Helping Others We Prosper".
But how can we help others when we are down, maintaining positivety is essential to be able to help others. I am often asked, why I always seem to be positive,
My answer is, I surround myself with positive acting and thinking people, who are realistic and honest about the way they feel, this is eminated by their body language and positive attitudes and is highly infectious.
I believe that there is always someone out there less fortunate and this keeps me positive, I also believe there are multiple solutions to each and every problem and keeping occupied seeking these solutions does wonders for the spirit and mind. We tend to overlook the simple solutions and sometimes try to re invent the wheel.
So what has this to do with nature and me taking a hike, Everything, because nature teaches us that the animals and plants in nature adapt to their surroundings and always find solutions to fight off extinction, this teaches me positivity, for the world will not end because I have a problem, in fact life continues regardless of our participation, so why not make the most of it.
Observe nature and it will teach you positivity. So take a break, go and spend time in nature and see how the wild survives with or without your participation.
Stay positive fellow Affiliates, there is always someone out there less fortunate than you, take a lesson from nature on being positive, get out there from time to time and get re charged.
All the best

Good move Gary, we can lean so much and be inspired by nature, taking that break can definitely help us to recharge or to see that different perspective.

I want to get to Nepal this year and do a big hike around the Annapurna circuit to refresh and while I still possibly can.
The bottom picture of those flowers. I wonder if I could get some bees on that nectar. Maybe get some good honey out of that plant.
By the way, we don't have any Lions in Australia and I am just wondering if you have any Lions up in those mountains where you trekked? hehe
Hey Brad thanks for popping in, no there are no Lions up there but Leopards, yes, they are very elusive, loners and shy, but one hears the occasional growl at night,
It is a great co incidence that you mentioned the Annapurna Circuit, we have a trip scheduled for September 2019, we are going for around 3 weeks and are already starting our prep ,and training.
All the best Brad

Hey Gary,
An interesting and inspiring post. The message is clear that
everyone needs a break to clear their minds and bodies and a trip into nature is a great change of pace. It is very refreshing
and recharges the batteries. Also, surrounding yourself with positive thinking people only enhances your experience.
Cheers,
