“You can’t become a winner overnight, or even in a couple of years-it takes time…You will lose races and you will have to accept that, learn from it and believe that you’ll win the next one, knowing that you’ll probably lose that as well. All the time you have to keep believing that one day you will win.” 
- Paula Radcliffe, former women’s marathon world record holder

Beyond the start line, there is a space where an athlete puts into action their training, their mental strength, drawing on their experience and their failures, and all of this with the ultimate goal to feel the freedom before them, to experience the horizon opening up, to capture those seconds and frame them forever.

It is a journey that has taken the necessary time, patience and knowledge to make it to the start.

The question is, what will you do when you get there, when you go through your starting drill and step up to the line? 

Will you hesitate or will you accelerate out with all the strength you have to give when that gun sounds?

Your day is coming. Be ready.

HOW TO HIT THE JOB RUN HEAD ON

Image
  When you have spent more than three years searching for regular work with a strong curriculum and ample experience at home and abroad, patience becomes strained and you start to ask 'why me?' It is precisely at that time that you have to dig deep and find out what really motivates you. For me, the transition from a stable, permanent job to 'accept what arrives' was a real wake up call. What I would suggest is not to become a victim of circumstance. It is easy to fall into the trap as you start to doubt yourself and your abilities, but it is important to stay focused. The secret is to keep moving, get out and about, meet people, use social media and contacts. This is a time to refine your skills. It has been said many times, I know, but the key is how you go about this. It can make you more resourceful and can give you new skills, which in turn can help others. For example, rewriting CVs and knowing how to prepare a good presentation. Do not waste time trying to improv...

THE TIME GAME

Image
  I need more time...to make another impossible choice, another decision, to pack another suitcase, to catch another plane, to find yet another way...As I hunt around in the dark, early hours of the morning for the light above the capper in the kitchen, I am drawn to write another article. What is the topic of this next entry? Time. It came to me as I woke up determinedly and lay wide awake reflecting on the word...TIME...It has a fairly poignant ring about it...and unfortunately on the lips of many in the current situation with the war, Covid and some pretty cruel realities of life thrust at our door. The whistling kettle is a harsh reminder that time waits for no one. You can be the richest person, the most intelligent individual, an incredible musician or athlete, wonderfully generous, living a happy, normal life, but time will eventually come calling. The thing is, we can waste it erring on the side of caution or we can face it straight on, head held high. What do you have to l...

THE BLIND TRUTH

Image
  “Truth will always be truth regardless of lack of understanding, disbelief or ignorance.”  W. Clement Stone Another series of events have brought an additional twist in my life road map. A short trip and drive through Europe become a time for reflection and an extended stay due to unforeseen circumstances. An only too frequent occurrence in life at the moment. Some things are apparently so obvious, like the pain of another, but how many times have we shut down and conveniently crossed the road to avoid looking at the ‘inconvenient’ things that would require some discomfort and soul searching? What will it take for us to live our best lives without pretence or excuses, without shielding ourselves from the tough truths and be determined to acknowledge the realities of those around us, freeing us all to be our authentic selves? A while back a person confided in me about a period of time when they would pass the brightly illuminated shop windows on the way back from work and wer...
