As I sit here in Hong Kong’s Chek Lap Kok Airport awaiting my final return flight back to London, I am reminiscing already about the highlights of this great trip and already wondering when I will do something like this again.

In many of my blogs and video blogs, I have spoken about lots of different topics ranging from my insights into creating wealth and success, through to photography tips and tricks. This has been one incredible journey that will not be forgotten. I have learnt so much in such a short space of time that I will have to do some in depth planning before I put things into action.

One of the worst things you can do with information is to get all mixed up and do the wrong thing first. I know I have spoken a lot about action, and action is indeed very key to getting things on the road, however if you act without thinking, you will sometimes create more damage than good. The reason I emphasis action so much is because for the most part, this is the show stopper for a lot of people.

My next words about careful action are aimed at those who do take immediate action, but perhaps sometimes end up starting a lot of things but not finishing. It is important to recognise that the information one learns, which must be acted upon, must also be done with wisdom and intelligence. There has been too many times in world history where good useful information has been acted upon in bad ways, and the consequences were that lives were lost.

I've spoken about many things about the various keys to success and of course some people might wonder well which is the most important factors? Is it action or just communications which is key?

Well the answer is that all these elements must be put into place in order for the system to work efficiently to create top results. Think of an athlete whose body is their finely tuned instrument for their trade. If any part of their system is not working optimally, do you think they will get the results they want? Of course not.

All the things I’ve mentioned, communications, systems, networking, learning, action, decisions, and many more, are all vitally important to achieving maximum success. The best way to work out what is best for you right now is to write down all these attributes and determine which ones you are weakest on, and tackle those first. These will take the longest to learn, and provide the most challenges, however once you get them mastered one at a time, you’ll feel so confident about yourself and your abilities, that the momentum you have to drive forward your dreams, will be astounding, and perhaps even somewhat overwhelming.

A good friend and relative of mine spoke about the topic of people holding you back, and in his life, he had various members of his family whom were preventing him from moving forward in the direction of life he wanted. Though he believed his life was great at one point, it soon became clear that it wasn’t enough.

Anyways, I find this topic massively interesting because in life, those who are your friends and family are often the ones who pull you back down the most when you strike forward to something else you want in life.

I’ve heard this from people of all backgrounds and cultures and it’s unique in that those who do love you most; want you to change the least. It’s seems to be some sort of human condition that disallows rapid change in people. I guess it’s because as friends and family know a person, any radical change in their circumstances, and/or mentality will often mean highlighting to those being left behind, more of their own insecurities.

The attempts to pull back, which in most cases are innocent, are merely their survival mechanisms kicking into gear. The advancement of a group/species/person/whatever, is often followed by great losses of life. Look back at human history and you’ll see that to be true. Isn’t that an interesting perspective.

So what are the key lessons which I have personally learnt on my journey here across the planet? Well for the most part it’s amazing how even with cultural and language differences, people are generally loving, trusting and will endeavour to help each other as much as they can. The social barriers created by media and the minority groups seem to be the instigators of the fear that drives people to distrust, or act in fear.

If one can learn anything, is that Man are creators. We have since the dawn of time explored the four corners of this planet and our own minds, and what we have achieved today, from the most modern of societies to the fledgling villages in rural china, is that we create things we can imagine. For all the ingenuities of science and engineering, sitting here in one of the most advanced Airports on the planet, it’s clear that everything had to begin as a thought in a single persons mind, before that thought, and it’s energy, spread out towards the rest of the world and inspires and motivates other people to join the same cause, thereby bringing that imaginative thought, into existence as we know it.

Sit for a moment and realise that the seat you are sitting on was borne from the imagination of someone hundreds of thousands of years ago. Think about the coffee you drank and the computer you are reading this from and know that all this information we now have at our fingertips was once inside someone’s mind.

After you’ve thought about that, now have a think about what it is you are thinking about, and what you can create in your life and in the lives of the people around you that matter. Realise now, that you too are a creator, and you can create all the things you want and the kind of life experiences you want in life, just by concentrating and being passionate about life itself. There are many people on the planet that believe in some sort of creator who is responsible for things on this planet, I’m going to be a little controversial and say that please also believe that you too are the creator in your life, stand up and take responsibility for it and make it great.

See you all back in London. Eddie
