Welcome

I believe excellence is more about how we live our lives than if we get 10 out of 10 on a test. So with this Blog I hope to inspire people to find the excellence in their lives. I'll be sharing ideas, articles and other bits that I come across in my day to day work and life - things that make me feel good, or inspire me. I hope you'll like them and that you'll pass them on.

Flower or Weed?

During a recent conversation with a dear friend, one of the topics that came up was Flowers VS Weeds. What's the difference and how can we tell? A lot of weeds have flowers. They can be delicate, colorful and attract bees - just like (official) flowers. So, why do we pull some out of our garden, and leave others. It made me think about how we look at things.... and reminds me of the old adage 'one persons trash is another's treasure'. Maybe it's the same with Flowers VS Weeds, and other things that come up in our lives. If we think something in a 'flower', to us, it is.


I choose to see this lovely little plant as a flower. The purple against the white and the dark green is beautiful to me. Someone else might laugh, tell me it's a weed and suggest I pull it out.

Maybe, but ultimately, it's my garden, and I get to choose what is in it.
