I have an idea for a blog/vlog series I have been dying to start. I have believed for a very long time that anybody can do anything. I mean anything. Since I have held this belief I have achieved a number of things. Things that aren't hugely significant but still stand as examples that anyone can achieve anything they set their mind too.

I have recently been reinspired by a book. In fact it was presented to me by a good friend who is in a cryptocurrency group chat with me. He said,

let's start a book club. I have a great book to start with and all serious traders recommend reading it at least once.

The book in question was first published in 1937. It is Think and Grow Rich by Napoleom Hill. I have only got to chapter 3 but already I have noticed unmistakeable similarities in this book and my current way of thinking. It puts forward the idea that as long as you have a set intention in mind that you are consistently thinking about, your subconscious mind will take over and guide you to achieve whatever it is you desire.
In my life, the few things that I have done that personify this are;

• moving abroad as a young adult to begin a new life
• choosing whichever job I feel like doing at the time
• choosing to have a short engagement, getting married and paying everything off within a year
• deciding to travel extensively throughout Europe
• servicing my car without taking it to a garage

These are fairly insignificant in general, but I know they are significant compared to friends that I grew up with. All too often I see people not doing what they want to do with their life because they don't think they can. I want to tell them;

"you can do anything you want to do."
In my head, my blog will follow people who are challenged to do things that initially they thought they wouldn't be able to do, but after some encouragement and removal of that fear of failure, discover that incredibly they have achieved this insane goal that seemed insurmountable previously. Of course, I would do the encouraging, but I would also like to challenge myself to do new things. I believe a huge number of new skills can be learned from the help of the internet community for a small or even no cost at all. I would also invite the community following the series to suggest the next skill/hobby to be learned. Even invite members of the community to learn and document their own personal experiences.

This could be an incredible movement if it found its audience.

Maybe we could have a series dedicated to each person, and following the steps they take to learn the new skill. I would also love to make a video edit of the entire thing to. There's nothing greater than seeing a face filled with happiness because of the fact you have just done something completely new. I remember recently I needed to service my car and I decided to find out how to do it myself and I changed the oil and oil filter without the help of anyone else. I could not wipe that smile off my face all day!

Aside from that sense of achievement you get, I believe there is an entire way of life to be lived like this. Doing something you have never done before creates new connections on the synapses in your mind and that is an incredible feeling in itself. Imagine never being bored again! So this is my dream, I want to start this. At the moment I am working full time to save for our next adventure. But if I get the opportunity, I will seize it for sure.

As always,

peace, love and light
