My first coffee with Sarah Moran left me wanting more. It’s a rare occasion when I manage to find someone that truly inspires me. Sarah is 25, with the world at her feet. She has numerous academic and industry awards to her name, extensive travel experiences behind her, and is currently working on a number of exciting personal, media based, and philanthropic projects. I think I’m in love.
Why did Sarah get me thinking big?
Among many other things…. She recently arrived home after an extensive trip around the world using her journalistic prowess to map the adventures of one of the top 50 contestants in Tourism Queensland’s WORLDS BEST JOB competition, she works as a Tutor in Entrepreneurship, as the BDM of NewsUnlimited.com.au, and as a consultant for charitable organizations, she is an ambassador for a number of Change-making, butt-kicking youth organizations, she is currently at the forefront of a venture that will significantly increase the output of Australian Philanthropists and Social Entrepreneurs.
Sarah looks, talks, and acts like any normal 25year old, but like all amazing people that live on an immense internal drive she exudes an incredible passion for life. It’s a great example of one of Sarah’s life themes which she kindly shared with me:
Noone is amazing, some people just decide not to do the unamazing things. According to Sarah we all have a choice. You can choose to do unamazing things. Or you can choose to not do unamazing things.

For me I saw this as a process of elimination rather than addition. What unamazing thing did I want to eliminate from my life? I considered cutting gurgling after brushing my teeth, and that seemingly pointless 5 minute period of pretending to sleep after the alarm goes off in the morning. But eventually I settled on simply choosing skinny milk with my daily Caramel Latte. It tastes pretty much the same and it means I can do an hour less cardio work each week. That's 52 hours (or over 2 days) added to my year.

Worth it? You bet.

What unamazing thing could you eliminate?

WEATHER TALK WITH A BRAIN OF THE RAIN

Whether your planning to spend a day out and about, you have a family function to attend, or you have to organize a meeting for sometime in the next few days its always helpful to know what weathers on the way. After spending an interesting day with one of Australia's leading weather experts recently, we walked away with three useful weather forecasting tips. Here they are straight up.

1) When the moon has a halo around it there is a significant weather change coming. This halo is the result of high ice crystal clouds.
2) If you live on the East coast look out for a red tinge to the sky at sunset, it means you’ve got a sunny day tomorrow, and a red morning sky means storm clouds are on the way.
3) If there is a lot of dew on the grass then it is more than likely that rain is coming.

Over the two weeks we’ve been able to predict the next days weather (and any weather changes) with an 85% accuracy. Much better than any 50/50 guess.
