The Olympics is underway and what an opening ceremony it was. The Chinese have truly embraced what the Olympics means to the world and they also portrayed their 5000 years of history in a very moving way.

For me, the Olympics encompass what it means to be at the pinnacle of what it is to be human - obviously on a mostly physical level but sometimes we forget the momentous mental journey these top athletes go on.

To make to the top in anything whether it be sport, business or anything else you might choose to do - you HAVE to see your goal in your mind before you can achieve it. If you can see yourself already in possession of the things you want to achieve, the people you want to surround yourself around and the life you want to leave your subconscious will go out and attract these things to you.

For example, I personally want this site to be the most helpful, useful and most used UK student website on the Internet. It’s not quite there yet, but it’s moving in that direction - with over 1000 students signed up on the email within 3 months, it’s not too bad going - we have a long way to go though. We have a lot more to give to students and we’ll do everything we can for you guys.

But, the point of this blog isn’t about me - it’s about YOU. Today and the next few days - take time to think what you really want in life, what do you REALLY WANT TO ACHIEVE? Who do you want to live your life with?

These questions we rarely get time to think about in our busy lives but start to think about it next time you see an athlete win a gold medal at the Olympics - think about what kind of approach they have to life. See if it changes yours. It may not, but give it a go.

I’ll be back soon.

One love.

Steve.
