Risking Everything for a Dream that nobody sees but YOU!

I have often spoken about how running a marathon is similar to how we live our lives. It is a long journey of endurance and perseverance where we are constantly challenged to keep our thoughts positive and maintain our positivity at every single moment. A brief moment of being distracted or the lack focus can cause us to move very quickly into negativity which can compromise our marathon performance or how we live our lives, so to speak.

Over the weekend, I watched the DVD "Million Dollar Baby". I was totally inspired! The storyline maybe about boxing but it does relate to our attitude in all that we do. Be it running a marathon or how we live our lives. One particular quote by Eddie Dupris stood out for me, "...it's the magic of fighting battles beyond endurance, beyond cracked ribs, ruptured kidneys and detached retinas. It's the magic of risking everything for a dream that nobody sees but you."

The quote speaks so clearly to me... It is the attitude which we have built Fifth Ray on. We have a dream for Fifth Ray and we can so clearly see that dream when everyone else around us may not. It is also the very same attitude that we bring with us when we coach or work with every single one of our clients. We will do everything within our power to assist them to achieve their dreams (safely and free of injuries) whether they see it or not.

If you have the time, do take the time to watch it and but inspired =o)

Getting Rid of the Old to Make Way for the NEW!

It's been about a month since my last post... We have not been missing in action but rather we were filled with too much action within a short space of time. The past one month has been very hectic for us due to the renovations of our new center at Ture (66 Kampong Bugis, Level 6) and re-structuring of our existing programmes and designing new ones to better serve our clients in 2011.

The past one month has been a time of getting rid of the old and making way for the NEW! Literally, from physical things like old equipment to programmes, to even mindsets and perspectives! Personally, I find change in any aspect allows us to challenge ourselves, learn new things and broaden our perspectives. In some sense, change does liberates one to welcome new ideas, new perspectives to enhance one's growth. To make positive changes in life takes courage. Hence, we are yet again taking another leap of faith for more positive changes in Fifth Ray.

We, at Fifth Ray, certainly hope that you will be part of our exciting and wonderful journey in 2011! All the best for the year ahead. Thank you for reading my blog in 2010 =o)
