Last night as I drove home I was sat in heavy traffic. Tired from a full day a work but satisfied. My son has been off school unwell and my wife was at home to play nurse for him. I thought to myself if only my wife could be a stay-at-home mother. What a pleasure it would be.
I went to the shops and bought the basic groceries we needed at home and on my way back from the shop I sat and stared at the roadworks where a new road was being built.
I looked closely at how the work was being done and realised that teamwork was essential for the road to be a success. Building a road I realised is a like building a business or even living a life. With numerous layer of sand, rock, stone and tar there is a great deal more that is not seen that makes the road what it is.
The planning. The routing. The earth Moving. The forward thinking knowing where this road has to go, where it will come out and how it interacts with the other roads in the area.
To be successful in life you need to understand the layers in your life. Not just the layers that make you up as a human being but the often invisible layers around you. Appreciating those you interact with and taking something of value from every interaction even when you may be discussing something not exactly happy or something that is in actual fact bad news.
I have many useful tips and motivational tools on my website. Pay me a visit at
