19.01.2022 Get Bored - I reckon this is the first step to inspire creativity. How many great inventions started with I was sitting or pondering and then it hit me. In todays world we get smashed with distractions and it is the norm to be flat out. If you want to get your inspiration for lifes creativity back then go get bored. You see when you get bored you are stopping lifes normal and by stopping you give your mind time to think, time to create, imagine and design. I get to driv...e around WA and people always ask what do you do when you have to drive for 5 - 8 hours? I get bored and I love it. You see I get to imagine, create, design and think. I pray and get my creativity going. I let my mind go crazy with imagination and design impossible things. Dont settle for normal, let you and your kids get regularly bored and see what happens. Dont think Ive got nothing to do, think Ive got nothing to distract me. Go get bored!! See more
18.01.2022 # THE RAT ROD # There is a group of cars that are called rat rods. These are basically cars made from old rusty bits of cars. Not just car parts but they can have fuel tanks that are old oil barrels or beer kegs, lights from some spooky old house, gear shifters made from bike chain etc. These rat rods can look really awesome. It is the mixture of all the old parts combined together to make a real piece of art. They may not be practical and not made for comfort but they have a... great story. Do you see yourself as a bit of a rat rod? Your life has given you some pretty serious rust or some major dents in your panels. Maybe the V8 is only running on 6 and your lights are borrowed off the old school bus and dont really show the way. Many people walk around proudly showing their dents and rust. Unfortunately this becomes their whole story. That major panel damage is their whole life. It defines them and they will take every opportunity to tell someone about it. They dont want to fix it and paint it new because this is them. They think that they are that rat rod. If that is you then I have some news for you. You are not a rat rod! You are just a dented old car. You see there is nothing wrong with not wanting to fix the dent or repair the rust but the dent or rust must not be the focus of you. When you look at a rat rod you see the rust and dents but you see the whole car and it still works and drives. The rusty panels and dents are just parts of the whole. They are not the whole story but they make up the life story of the vehicle. Now sure you may have some serious dents that have changed your life but they are just panels on you. These are not you, nor do they define who you are. These are examples of what you have been through to bring you to where you are now. Many people will choose to panel beat and repair them and maybe paint over the panel to make them feel completely new which is fine. You maybe a rat rod and are cool with leaving it as it is. Just remember that God made you for today and the engine and chassis he gave you drives you. He designed you for the work that he needed you to do. If you are designed as a rat rod then be that. Dont try to be something else but just make sure that you are being all of you and not focusing on part of you to tell your story.
17.01.2022 Its Not Perfect! Yes it has a dent. I left it that way because it reminds me of life. We live in a not perfect world and life is not perfect. We try our best but sometimes life falls short of our expectations. What we want and what we achieve are not the same. Did Michael Jordan hit every shot he took? No but he was always willing to step up and take the shot. Be prepared to be dented in life and become truly excited about the opportunities you get to have a go. A dent is better than never having a go at all. How Ridiculous these guys know that sometimes you hit the shot with only a few and other times it can take days. The most important thing is to take that shot in your life. Aim for it and be excited about how close you get not frustrated about how far you missed it by.

08.01.2022 God has made us all unique When I heard that I never truly understood it then God gave me this picture. In my tool box, being a dodge person, I have a lot of imperial spanners. Now the half inch spanner will never be as big as the one inch spanner but that is how it was created. Sure the bigger spanners could laugh at the half inch but do you know that when I have a half inch bolt to undo the only tool that will fit perfectly is that spanner. The one inch may be bigger and st...ronger but when it comes to undoing the half inch bolt it is totally useless. Sometimes it can be very boring and tedious being this spanner and at times it just sits in the toolbox doing nothing. But that is what it was created for so there will be times like that. God created you as unique as this. He has lots of half inch bolts that need you and he can only use you! Dont compare yourself to everyone else but recognise why you were created and then go find the half inch bolts. See more
