Love em or hate em, you have to admire their commitment to drive things forward!!! Xxx

Apple or Samsung is the general bone of contention in the phone world. I have to say that I fall on the side of Apple. I was sooo anti Apple for the longest time (their Macs take a bit of getting used to!). But once I had got comfortable with them, I was really impressed at how it was all done and the usability of it.

Looking into the life of Steve Jobs and the whole process behind the products is absolutely incredible. The amount of care, time and attention to detail is incredible- I believe there was a lot of agony over the design of the box and chipboard- parts that the customer wouldn't even really pay much heed to!

Fast forward many decades and they have become the most valuable company on the planet- quite an achievement! Talk about keeping the faith and the dream.

Recently, Apple has started to fall out of favour slightly, the share price has dipped and a number of unflattering memes crop up over their products. However, you can't deny their desire to push things forward. I watched the unveiling event (my goodness- only they could make such a fuss over some new products and have you seen the queue over the years to be the first to buy their phones?! Incredible!). Their new phone seems to be breaking sales records at the moment...

The features and improvements to their line of i-goods was remarkable! Whether you thought they were revolutionary or a load of poop, I had to respect the amount of work that went into it. Moving the boundaries to try to slicken the users experience.

I read an interview with Jonathan Ives (the design guy) and he was speaking about the Apple Watch and how the luxury brand companies they are partnering with have the same ethos- the small but pertinent facets to the products. Quite mind blowing!

So, if you can, in your own way, always seek to go beyond. To expand and grow. Now by the very nature of who you are, these will happen naturally, just by being in the world and a conscious creator. But it's always nice to focus! The more I do, the more I find I want to do and it comes from that place of inspiration. It's exciting, it's thrilling, it's what calls us forth.

So just love your life! It's what you have now!

Happy expand-ing!!!

Lots of love, Nick Xxx
