Well, it's been a long time since I posted in this blog - a year and 9 months!
Reason?
Well I bought the great gordino domain name, and decided to buy some hosting and use an installed blog programme on that.
I've been posting regularly on that, but thought it was worthwhile updating on this one, keeping updates on stuff going on elsewhere.
So to start with, check out the Great Gordino site at:
http://thegreatgordino.com
You'll see a lot of articles about goal achievement, which will come as no surprise to long time readers!
Please feel free to leave comments there, and hit the like, share, tweet, etc buttons!
Health & happiness,
Gordon

Jan 1st 2010 - The Desiderata Works Everytime!
Hi,
I hope all is well with you.
So here we are again, another New Year's Day.
Longtime readers will know I have been publishing the Desiderata for 6 years on a regular basis.
Written by Max Ehrmann in 1929, it's a great piece, full of short phrases which will serve you well if you take them a few at a time, but as a whole, it's superb.
You can refer back to it throughout the year, so as 2010 begins, here it is again - enjoy, and let me know what you think!
***************************************
The Desiderata
***************************************
Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly, and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain or bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let not this blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself.
Especially do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore, be at peace with God, whatever you conceive him to be. And whatever your labors and aspirations in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul. With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams; it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
Max Ehrmann, 1929.

Fri 13th Nov - A Magnificent Woman In Her Flying Machine?
Hi,
I hope everything is ok where you are.
Today I'm writing about Kirsty Moore.
Who?
Well, Kirsty has joined the Red Arrows, the display team of the RAF.
Famous around the world for their acrobatics in the sky for 45 years, Kirsty is the first woman to be one of the pilots.
I was amazed when I saw it on the news, but even more amazed to hear that their was no woman pilot in the RAF until 1991, and no woman jet pilot until 1994!
That seems staggering to me, and the reason behind it?
Well, let's not beat around the bush, it's prejudice.
To suggest that women did not have the skill or brains to do it is obviously ludicrous, so it comes down to basic prejudice, still around I'm afraid, but it's people like Kirsty who are breaking down those remaining barriers.
So, some obvious goal achievement theories with her story...
She is only 32, and says she decided to be in the RAF when she saw the Red Arrows when she was 13.
That shows what dedication and commitment can achieve, 19 years worth!
She also says her father told her to aim high and go for her dreams, which is a classic goal achievement technique, to believe you can do what you want, but follow it up with persistent action.
The publicity says she got the job due to her flying skills, and that's backed up by her many years as an instructor - in fact one of the other Red Arrow new recruits was one of her pupils.
Well done to Kirsty I say!
Google her to read more, and when you see the Red Arrows next, think of Kirsty Moore in Red Three, and remember the goal achievement story there.
You may want to break barriers yourself, in which case good luck, and go for it! However, it's more likely that someone else will have already done what your dream is, making it easier for you - all you have to do is follow what they did!
Kirsty has broken down one more barrier, so if you happen to be a 13 yr old girl who wants to be in the Red Arrows, there's your plan!
It's the kind of thing I write about in my book, 'Transform your Life in 21 Days!'
You can grab it for the special price of $5 by clicking my picture at the bottom of this page:

Ok, that's it for this time, I'm off to fire up my jets to get me to the chocolate cupboard a bit quicker.
'Til Next Time.
Health & Happiness,
Gordon
