Remember What You Are All About

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. Eleanor Roosevelt.

each-day-is-a-gift-what-you-do-matters-drew-simmie-

As society continues to change and move forward again, we are each being challenged to move beyond outdated, limiting beliefs and behaviours made irrelevant and to evolve into and fashion new, fresher versions of ourselves.

Every day is a gift. And every day counts.

The key is to make the best use of each one.

Remembering that it’s not only the good work you do and what you say that counts, it’s who you are that matters and what you are all about.

Stay interested. Stay interesting. Stay relevant.

And, as always, thank you  for reading me

A MOMENT OF REFLECTION: Have you found yourself wondering if, perhaps, there is more you could be doing? Something more meaningful and engaging? Or closer to the point, something that more reflects who YOU have grown into over the years? Need some help getting there? Perhaps I could be of assistance.

Fly With the Eagles

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great.” Mark Twain.

Being in the company of negative people is never fun. They will suck the positive energy right out of you, if you let them. If you let them is the operative phrase.

They’ll drag you down and can bring your best laid plans to a screeching halt.

Doom scrolling is not helpful. Many people spend their whole day looking for what’s wrong. Naturally, of course, they can easily find sufficient reason to reinforce their point of view. Especially in these crazy times in which we are living.

Stay alert. Aim high.

Do whatever you can to remain upbeat.

Vow to fly with the eagles and not with the ducks

I hope to see you back here soon. As always, thank you for reading me.

On The Path Of Life…

In his or her life each person can take one of two attitudes, to build or to plant.

Builders may take years over their tasks, but one day they will finish what they are doing.

Then they will stop, hemmed in by their own walls. Life becomes meaningless once the building is finished.

Those who plant suffer the storms and the seasons and rarely rest.

Unlike a building, a garden never stops growing.

And by its constant demands on the gardener’s attentions, it makes of the gardener’s life a great adventure.

From Brida by Paulo Coelho.

Hmmm…well said.

On the path of life, when doubt occasionally raises its head, remember who you are and just keep on walking.

Who Said It Was Going To Be Easy.

All things at first appear difficult. Chinese proverb.

Whatever your dreams or aspirations, whether they are personal or professional, it’s always good to remind yourself that nothing you do in life that has any real value ever comes easy. There always seems to be something…

It’s at those “something times” that you need to work especially hard at staying positive. Draw up a targeted list.

Mindful of the fact that if there is something you want, if it’s not written down, it’s not a goal. It is only a wish.

Hang out with positive people. Step up your exercise regime. Eat right. Sleep right. Regularly write out your thoughts and objectives. Make a note of the progress you are making – and what you still need to do.

All things at first appear difficult, sometimes even impossible. But if you’re being honest and doing the work, the future and success (what ever you’re doing, however you’re measuring it) will arrive on schedule.

There will be days when you wonder how you are going to make it all happen. It won’t be easy.

But, hey!

Who ever said it was going to be easy.

Keep Evolving

Throw your dreams into space like a kite and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. Anais Nin.

Wherever you are on your journey, there are no yesterdays. Keep focused on today for what you do today will, to a large extent, determine what your future looks like.

It’s always about your attitude.

And your courage to keep learning and evolving.

Stay safe. Stay strong. Stay connected. 

I hope to see you back here soon. As always, thank you for reading me.
