I’m reflecting on my business, my life and what I want to achieve next year and the next decade which is at the back of my mind every minute of every day as I work through the days.\u00a0It’s now lunch time so time to stop:\u00a0once I’m hungry, my mind is useless — off I go.<\/p>\n
My legs take me towards the locality of one of the regular places I’ve been eating this last week, a food court. “What am I going to eat?” I murmur in my mind. “How about just keep walking in that (different) direction where you don’t know what exists to eat, Elias, and work it out”, I say to myself.<\/p>\n
I walk, and there’s nothing and turn the block only to enter the department store that hosts the food court from the other side (it’s a Westfield \u00a0with two opposite street facing sides). Not knowing how to get there from this direction, I follow my intuition.<\/p>\n
Low and behold, I made a discovery: I come across food stores I never knew existed.<\/p>\n
I keep exploring fascinated that there is an entirely new food court in the same building and am excited at the chance to try a completely new lunch meal\u00a0(Brazilian BBQ!). I order, I pay — and off I walk back to the office, once again, not really sure how I get out of here but I just follow my intuition.<\/p>\n
Moments later, it turns out it was the same food court I always go to, exiting how I always exit it (and previously entered it). The difference is when I enter I would turn right and would walk to the end of the food stores thinking that was it whereas had I walked straight in previous times I would have found this additional food court that was hidden behind a corner.<\/p>\n
I can’t help but think this is a metaphor for life and what we should all try to attempt in 2015. Don’t make resolutions, make instead promises to yourself: walk the unknown path and trust\u00a0your intuition to guide you. It might end up taking you to the same place, but who knows, you might end up with a completely different perspective.<\/p>\n
Ok, I need to finish my lunch now. Happy new year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
