Part 1 - Welcome!
Dear
<$firstname$>,
May
I just say a big thank you to everone who gave me such lovely
feedback on the new photos that have recently appeared on my
website and in my newsletters.
I'd
been meaning to overhaul my photos for quite some time but really
wasn't sure how to best go about it and who to trust. Luckily
for me, a very good friend of mine Steve, recommended that I
speak to a very good photographer friend of his called Claire
and then hey presto, before I knew it my new photos came into
the world!
The
photo session with Claire was so much fun that I couldn't possibly
recommend her highly enough. To find out more about Claire and
her creative journey as a photographer as well as how you can
hire her to transform the photos on your website, please see
my featured interview with her below...
Below
are a couple of photo shoot gems that didn't quite make the
lead pic position on my site ;-)

and serious. I think I might save this one for
the cover of my first solo album of love songs. |
Confused.
Would you take internet business advice from this man? |
Say
Cheese. OK, let's just say that I got a little
carried away! |
Live
life like your life depended on it!
Photo
of the month - Like
Father Like Son.
As
much as I like looking at pictures of myself there was one other
photo that caught my attention this month and that was one of
Lloyd and Spencer Elliott.
Lloyd
and I have been friends for over 17 years now (we are old school
buddies and even lived together for a couple of years in a notorious
6 man bachelor pad whilst we were both at University in Melbourne).
Spencer is his little boy.
I
have to admit that it was with grave concern that I received an
email from Lloyd suggesting that both he and Spencer were going
to cancel their subscriptions to my 'Design Your Life Newsletter'
if their photo wasn't prominently featured in the next edition.
Now
I am generally not one who submits to bullying tactics but because
they are such a good looking pair, I decided to make an exception
on this one occasion...

Quote of the Month!
"Make
no little plans, they have no magic to stir men's blood
and will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope
and work, remembering that a noble and logical plan never
dies, but long after we are gone will be a living thing."

5 - Featured Article - What’s
holding you back?...
Around
7 and half years ago, I randomly walked into a travel agency in
my home town of Melbourne. It was a Saturday morning and it just
so happened that I had a bit of time to kill.
I
casually strolled into the store and immediately walked over to
a big map of world that covered most of one of the shops walls.
I
stood there staring at the magnificence of the world and started
to imagine what it would be like to travel to all the many different
countries that grabbed my attention.
In
this wonder filled state, a sales assistant called Kylie came
over to me, said hello and we started a conversation. She told
me that she had only just returned from a 2 year stint in London.
The way she enthusiastically described her adventures held me
totally captivated. Before I knew it, I reached for my credit
card and booked a one way ticket to London leaving exactly 6 weeks
later.
I
was swept away by the moment.
Now
I have to completely admit that I was completely swept away by
the moment. Instinctively I knew that it would be good for me
to step into the unknown but I'd had given absolutely no rational
thought about how I was going to practically pack my life up and
leave Australia in 6 weeks. I had no passport, no visa and no
clue of how I was going to be able to pull it off. All I could
do was trust that everything was going to be alright.
I
gave away nearly all of my worldly possessions.
Somehow
I did manage to pack my entire life into a back pack and a small
suitcase. Everything else that I owned, I gave away.
The
feeling of giving away everything that I couldn’t carry
was both exhilarating and liberating. By letting go of ‘things’
I begun to experience a magnificent flow state that I had never
known before.
Holding
on holds you back.
By
going through the process of giving everything away I became acutely
aware of how my over attachment to ‘things’ was holding
me back from experiencing the essence of what it feels like to
be totally alive.
In
our consumer driven society, we are conditioned to buy things
that we don’t need and then strangely we fear letting those
things go when our inner yearnings call us to step up to the plate
of life and ask for more.
What
would you be doing right now?
What
would you be doing with your life right now if you didn’t
have that car, that job, that house or that big screen TV? What
risks would you take? What adventures would you seek out? What
incredibly wild and wonderful people would you meet along the
way? What
big contribution would you start to offer the world?
Life
is for the living. If there is anything holding you back from
living the life you were born to lead, material or otherwise,
you need to start letting go of it or risk never realising your
true desires.
Embrace
the true magic of life. Get clear on the kinds of feelings and
sensations that will bring you totally alive. And then just get
out there in the world and be all that you are!
