Forgive And Forget

Posted on August 23, 2025

Powerful words. We don’t realise how important these words are to our own health – both mental and physical.

Holding a grudge, resentment, contempt or any other negative emotion is like carrying acid – it destroys the carrier.

Being angry with someone that maybe you feel did you wrong, only makes your life worse. You carry that baggage while they’re out dancing.

It takes quite a bit of maturity to forgive people. And then also to forget about the whole thing. Do you have that level of maturity?

Your whole life could change if you decided to take the mature approach and forgive and forget. Will you do it?

Faith V Fear

Posted on August 22, 2025

You choose daily. Both require belief in something you can’t see.

Which will you choose? Why do you choose the one you do?

Faith, hope and willingness are powerful forces when seeking to achieve a difficult goal.

Don’t Let Your Fears Control Your Fabulous Future

Posted on August 20, 2025

We can all be nervous or concerned about a potential negative outcome. But we can also spend a lot more positive energy and time on potential positive outcomes.

How do you spend your time? Do you focus more on positive, pleasant, fun and successful outcomes or on negative, fear-led, dramatic and even disastrous outcomes?

If you tend to the negative, start training your brain every day to be more positive. Take 10 minutes each day and focus on coaching your brain on thinking through potential positive outcomes.

Excellence, Not Perfection

Posted on August 15, 2025

Aiming for perfect is stressful and not generally practical. Excellence, on the other hand, is a worthy goal and a great habit to have.

You can strive for excellence daily. So do that.

What Are You Thinking About Most?

Posted on August 14, 2025

You are what you think about. Happy thoughts? Sad thoughts? Fears? Success?

Stop once a day and think about what you’ve let run loose in your mind. Be mindful.

Escort your negative, fearful thoughts to the door and close it. If there was something to learn or be aware of, take that, but don’t dwell.

Look for positive, encouraging and inspiring thoughts. Dwell on those all day.

Make sure your food for thought is a healthy meal!

Be Positive

It’s such an amazing, wonderful characteristic. It draws people toward you. It makes life so much better.

Peace

Posted on August 9, 2025

A word used quite often. Though anyone screaming it probably doesn’t really understand its true meaning or significance.

Peace is calm, tranquil, and understanding. There are no games. If two countries or people want this in their relationship, and both work towards that as their ultimate common goal, then it will happen.

You can’t have only one party openly and actively committed to peace and still achieve it. The other side has to participate, with peace as its highest priority, or it is nearly impossible to achieve. Otherwise, the committed party will always be a bit hesitant and wonder if the other party will keep the peace, and that is not peace for the committed party.

The war zone can be quiet, and peace can reign, when both parties come to the table with only peace as its top priority.

Be More Curious

Posted on August 6, 2025

It’s easy to think we know so much. Yet, we know very little. We extrapolate, generalise, use bias and guess quite a bit.

We hurry people through their speech, usually just to say our bit. We aren’t that interested in what the other person has to say. We have our view and want to express that.

Yet things can dramatically improve if we just get more curious. Listen patiently to the person speaking. Understand their current mindset. Get the context in perspective. Listen to their words and emphasis.

You will learn a lot. You will improve your understanding. Your communication will improve. And you’ll become a better person.

Support Your Team

Posted on August 3, 2025

There’s rarely a good reason to boo, demonise, slander or outrage over the opposing team. The best thing to do is get positive about your own team, celebrate their strengths and wins, and cheer them on.

The positive focus will impact you in a good way. The negative focus will impact you in a less good way. Don’t ever focus on what you don’t want to become. Always focus on where you want to go, how you want to be and in a positive way.

You become what you focus on.
