Your Gift

Mario has always been interested in the determining factors of success in every sphere of life. Why do only certain individuals get ahead while most others live out their lives in boredom and misery – doing work they don’t like and associating with people that don’t make them happy? In a recent interview Mario said: “The perennial question is WHY? WHY does one individual flounder, stuck in the mud, never achieving anything significant in life, when another individual faced with the same circumstances sprouts wings and flies up into the blue sky? The only real differences between two individuals are the thoughts and ideas that determine their actions which, in turn, determine their paths in life. Ideas are my passion. It’s a great pleasure coming across something new – an “Ah-ha!” moment. But my most favourite thing in life is when I pass on an idea or a thought and give someone else an ‘Ah-ha! moment. When that happens, you can see it in their eyes. Their view of the world has changed. And when someone’s view of the world changes, their world in fact has changed. Ideas and thoughts can literally change your life. It doesn’t matter if the idea or thought is something totally new or if it’s something that has been right in front of you all along but, suddenly, you see it in a new light. If you are looking to better your life, to change your circumstances, there is one important thing to bear in mind. It doesn’t matter what anyone else has achieved. Focusing on the life journey of someone else can be entertaining. There is nothing wrong with entertainment. However, the most important thing to bear in mind is YOU and how something relates to you. In other words, ACTIONS are the link between IDEAS and a BETTER LIFE. A new idea, no matter how interesting it is, can only benefit you if you act on it. How are YOU going to use a new idea or thought? Focus on the idea – NOT on the story around it. You are the most important person in your life. Everything else is secondary.”
