“Voilà” in French can be a kind and polite “Here you are” when someone hands you over the newspapers or when a waiter serves your coffee.
A gentleman will use it with elegance and flair, as a form of charm or courtoisie. “Here you are my lady” with or without the curtseying…
“Et voilà” can also be a solid “Here I am” or a burlesque “Ta Da” ! A deliberate and spontaneous naked expression, a no-nonsense exposure of yourself !
It comes with a “What you see is what you get” or “Take it or leave it” attitude !
Did someone talk behind your back darling ? “Et alors ?” So what ? Who cares ? What others think about you is completely irrelevant ! Move on…
“Et Voilà !” “It is done, It is finished !” It means you’ve completed your mission, maybe the unexpected happened and you proved everyone wrong !
Ooh and you definitely need to buy that red dress if you want to be a bad ass !
Stan Lee, father of all contempory superheroes just passed away at age 95. Rest in peace Legend !
How do we access our superpowers? According to Dwayne Johnson aka “The Rock” this is the advice that Stan Lee entrusted him at the beginning of his Hollywood career.
Be imaginitive – use your imagination
Start at the finish ! Think about the end result. Focus on what you want to achieve and then start visualising it. Visualising is using your imagination to the fullest. So make a beautiful, detailed movie in your imagination of how YOU want it !
How to achieve your goals : here are some tips from superhero Deadpool !
No limits – No restrictions
We judge and criticize ourselves in many ways, we sabotage ourselves by not having confidence in our capabilities, we keep doubting ourselves. With words we give our bodies commands, we call these self-suggestions.
Can you feel how thoughts and words affect your body :
I am a loser… I can’t, it’s too hard, It’s impossible,…
These sentences stop growth, they are limiting and create blockages, they are taught (conditionned) behavior and keep you from achieving your heart’s desires !
I’ll give it a try …
The favorite word of the eternal doubter is trying. Trying is not having faith, trying doesn’t get you anywhere, it gives little or no results, it’s repetitive, it’s a race without end, you keep walking in circles …
I can, I am, I believe I can do anything, I do it, it’s done …
These words stimulate growth and are constructive for our body, it means that we trust our intuition and believe in our unlimited resources.
Have fun – Enjoy the process
Positive feelings are like magnets : they will attract what you want at a much faster rate. You will never achieve lasting results when you miss the fun factor in what you are doing.
Be passionate ! Passion will propel you forward and provide the neccessary fuel for all your endeavours.
Face front true believers !
This man. This legend. When I first broke into Hollywood 17yrs ago, Stan Lee (iconic co creator of Spider Man, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Dr Strange etc) welcomed me with open arms. Always offering sage advice to help build my career. “Be imaginative, set no limits.. have fun”, he said. Dwayne Johnson
Do you have a buddy, a BFF, someone you tell all your secrets to, who is always there for you, usually at the right time and the right place ?
Have you ever been wondering why helping others seems to be a piece of cake for them ? Why everything they say and do is so “spot on” and natural ? It’s like they are God sent !
No doubt about it : Having a good buddy is like having a personal coach or a mentor ! Consider yourself lucky when you have one at your disposal !
Buddies…Who are they, what drives them ? Let’s have a look at some of their characteristics and maybe – most importantly – how you can turn into one of them too…
Buddies always listen !
Because of their empathic nature they are careful listeners and are able to read between the lines. “I’m fine !” “Really ? What a load of bollocks darling !”
No need to beat around the bush, no bullshitting them ! They will get to the core almost immediately !
Even when you lose the plot or are going collywobbles,they don’t judge, they don’t blame. They know who you truly are and that this is just a silly phase you’re going through…
You are only experiencing a moment of temporary insanity !
Buddies believe !
They are here to help you keep your dreams alive ! They know when you are sabotaging your progress and they easily spot the people around you killing your vibe !
Their mission is to help you deal with the hooligans from your past and to release them for good.
They help you beat the bullies in the present and give you tools to stop the belittling, the jealousy and the hatred.
They believe in you when no one else does, with them you are never completely alone or lost ! They will never give up on you !
Buddies inspire !
They show you how to keep moving forward, heading up high !
They know how to keep you motivated ! They stimulate you and inspire you in different ways…
They poke you and sometimes even provoke you ! “And…cut ! Action !”
“Can’t, must, won’t, impossible,…” are words that have been erased out of their dictionnary. “Who said it can’t be done ? Bob’s your uncle !”
Buddies go all the way !
Don’t ask how they do it…They always have a plan and it’s usually as hot as their pants ! Expect the unexpected or things to happen accidentally on purpose !
They know how to put things in higher gear and will always go the full monty with you !
Buddies care !
Buddies care and take care of things ! They sense when words are useless and when you are in need of a good hug, a reassuring hand on the shoulder or a distraction from your worries.
They will support you and surprise you with unusual gifts to show their appreciation. They will take you for a walk, let you sing karaoke or maybe will go bungee jumping with you !
Everything they do is done wholeheartedly, with the intention to lift you up higher !
Buddies cheer you up !
Buddies are genuine and honest, they are hardly able to tell a lie. They carry their heart on their tongue and can sometimes be offensive towards others…
Strangely enough they always get away with it, as they are charming as hell and…well, they are as cool as a cucumber !
They are such fun to be around, they always look at the bright side of life ! They are always positive and excited ! They are so full of beans !
And last but not least they are always in for a fabulous joke that results in a good belly laugh !
“I pursue this dream and carry on. I don’t dwell too much on the outside, I just focus on the inside.”
Conor McGregor
“Ideas only act if they are felt, if they awaken inner movement. Inner movement is conditionned by self motivation. Outer movement is conditionned by compulsion.”
Conor McGregor inspired me to write this little piece after he recently posted this beautiful video of his son’s christening party on Facebook. While many of you were focussing on his wealth and richness, all I saw was genuine happiness and a beautiful hashtag #itwasalladream.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill, When the funds are low and the debts are high, And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and its turns, As everyone of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about, When they might have won, had they stuck it out. Don’t give up though the pace seems slow, You may succeed with another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than, It seems to a faint and faltering man, Often the struggler has given up, When he might have captured the victor’s cup, And he learned too late when the night came down, How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out, The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you can never tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So stick to the fight when you are hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst, that you must not quit !
If I would be a car, no doubt about it I would be a muscle car, having that bad ass look & attitude ! I would be a classic, stylish and elegant, not pimped up to something I’m not !
I would have a powerful engine under the hood, not a brand new one, but one that already has driven a thousand of miles, one that has brought me to undiscovered areas, that has cruised desert lanes, that has enjoyed several landscapes.
I would feel unbeatable, unstoppable ! Whether in an obscure street race, in a show or at home, You could even hear my engine roar while asleep, exciting experiences would still have my gaspedal pushed to the maximum !
If I would be a car, I would kick ass because I know I could. We all are muscle cars, we all are built and destined to be powerful ! Don’t hide yourself in some dusty barn where no one can find you ! Break free and start the joyride that is your life !
Phuro!
