If she can do it, you can do it

March 14th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

I’m talking about Ruth Flowers – and she is (according to her own website) “a fucking great DJ and she’s gonna kick your ass!”

Well, there’s tons of great DJ’s out there, so what is it that makes Ruth Flowers so special?

She’s a 69 year old grandmother who rocks the hottest clubs, she has her own website (plus ofc a presence on Facebook, MySpace, Youtube and Twitter) and goes by the name of Mamy Rock when she’s out on a gig.

It’s not like Ruth always had a dream of becoming a DJ, but she became inspired by the atmosphere in a club where her grandson celebrated a birthday party – and then she went for it.

Ruth is by no means a typical DJ, she’s not even a typical clubber, and yet she pursued her newfound dream of becoming a DJ.

And if Ruth at the age of 69 can make it in the most unlikely career, then imagine what you can do with your life.

No need to wait until you’re 69, no need to find something unusual as DJ’ing was for Ruth.

If you have a dream, then work to make it happen.

Don’t be put off by anybody telling you that you’re too young or too old to do something.

Don’t be put off by anybody telling you that you’re not “typical” for the job – infact they actually right, you’re not “typical”, you’re special, unique a one-of-a-kind that your chosen industry have never seen before yet.

If you have a dream, no matter how unlikely a dream, isn’t it about time you started pursuing that dream?

Do you know of anybody who followed an unusual dream and made it happen? – if you do, then please share it here.

Unplug, reset, recharge and move in the direction you want your life to go

February 9th, 2010 by Henrik Flensborg

Just read a great blog post (Less really can mean more by Dr. Molli Marti) about how she “unplugged” during the holidays, spent time with friends and family without thinking about work and the round it all up by working on her 2010 vision board.

Haven’t you also been in a situation where it seemed that the day-to-day chores and busy schedule you kept actually prevented you from moving forward in life?

And the more you worked the more you stood still?

If we don’t allow ourselves to take time out to steer our life in the direction we want, then we’ll end up in the wrong place – we’ll end up with the wrong spouse, the wrong house in the wrong location and the wrong job.

We only have one life to live, so why is it that so many of us don’t spend the necessary time on actually figuring out what we would like to get out of this life?

Some people seek assistance from a life coach and from other self improvement resources, but sometimes all we need is just a little uninterrupted time to ourselves.

We each have our own definition of success and sometimes it doesn’t take a large and complicated goal setting/getting system to make life changes; sometimes it’s enough to just decide what you wan’t to change.

But it all starts with you deciding to do it.
