Life is a funny old thing

Life is a funny old thing, we cannot choose where or when we were born, we do not choose our parents and we cannot choose who our children will become, mostly we do not hold the control of where and when we die, but things between there we can.

Where ever we are born and whenever, it is the right time for us and making the most of our lives is the most important thing we can do. Not all of us want the same things, for some it is a Bentley for others flying to the moon, being a movie star or just finding happiness in each and every day. 

Whatever it is you want, that is fine, don´t be put off by other people and their idea of what is “good” for you. Believe you are worth a great life, act as if you deserve a wonderful life, building your life around your goals and dreams is essential to feel fulfilled and find personal happiness. 

Believe in your own personal power, as we are all full of potential which is like supercharged rocket fuel but just like any engine, if you take our foot off accelerator the whole thing slows down or even stops. Keep the pressure on and move forward, just like any journey some of it will be smooth and fast, some will be on winding country roads, but as long as we are heading in the right direction we have to get there sooner or later. People can stop us temporarily only we can stop ourselves permanently.

Keep up the steps moving forward and tomorrow has to be different to today

Each day is a new opportunity

Each day is a new opportunity to change anything you want to, it does not have to be 1^st Jan, or your birthday, or any special date; everyday is special and you can choose to make it “the day”.  Nobody has the power or the privilege to make that choice for you, unless you let them.

Why spend your days in places, with people and doing things you don’t like, or that do not make you happy, fear of change is often greater than the uncomfortable situation we are in.  We create our limits in our minds, then believe them to be the truth.  One thing I learnt very early on in the field of psychology; ‘the truth” is never just that, it is only the truth as we see it.  Just think for a moment, football, baseball, or any sport when you follow one person or a team, they are the best. If that were “true” then everyone would follow or support just that one team or person and we know that is not true.  Snakes, heights, flying some people are terrified of one or maybe all of these, but not everyone.  The actual snake, height or flight is not different, but our personal reaction is depending on our beliefs of the truth.

It is never too late or too soon to make changes for yourself and to change your truth. It does take work and dedication; a little each day makes a world of difference over time.

The only place to start however, is within yourself, being honest with yourself about your situation and make the decision to change, that is what takes the time.  Once the decision is make….. it gets easier.

Here’s to a very different 2012.
