Look at your world from a different perspective today. Your house, spouse, kids, dog or even shower soap. Look around you with fresh eyes and no bias. Consider everything without your usual bias or expectation. Good luck!!

Favourite Day Of The Week
Do you have one? It might reveal a lot about you.
Monday might mean you love your job or business. Sunday could indicate you love rest, sport or family time. Thursday could mean you love that you’re nearly done the week and can begin to relax with an evening out.
Think about the day that currently brings the most joy. Consider what it means in your life.
Then revel in it.

Choices
Would you rather be given £1 million today or wake up tomorrow morning?
If you would rather wake up tomorrow morning, you chose that over £1m. When you wake up, you should at least be as happy as someone who was just given £1m, since waking up must be better than getting the £1m.
You choose to smile, to be fit, to take on challenges. Live every ounce of today. It’s the only day you get. But you can make it better than expected in lots of little ways.

Do You Enjoy Rollercoasters?
Do you thrive on white knuckle rides? Do you prefer the excitement, lurching and speed of the mechanism?
Some people don’t like rollercoasters. The intensity is not for everyone. Where some people feel the thrill and adrenaline, others are simply flush and terrified.
How do you like your life?

Audiobooks
Can you recommend some good ones? I need to buy a few to use up my Audible credits. I’m looking for good content and a good reading voice.
Obviously I already have a copy of my audiobook of Achieve Anything. But if you haven’t got a copy yet, I’d get one soon. Christmas is coming, as they say.
Send me a DM on Instagram or leave a comment here or somewhere if you have a good audiobook recommendation. I’m on a mission.

Rainy Days
These can be just as wonderful as sunny days. They are just different. And it depends what you’re doing. Enjoy both!
Today’s note was inspired by our wonderful stay at Withyfield Cottage at Merrion Farm. A mix of sun and rain, and good timing, helped make this an excellent time away.

Keep Your Thoughts Positive
When times are tough, we may think of the worst case scenario or even a disaster scenario. Remember this is not happening to you. It is just your mind being active with negative thoughts. So, as hard as it may be, focus on positive outcomes, wins and victory. Feel this as if they are real.
As neither are real, you may as well give yourself the feeling of the positive thoughts. Train your brain. It’s worth it.

Take Stock
What have you got? Have you stopped to take stock? Is it your health? Wealth? Relationships? Is it a particular skill, career, or lifestyle?
Sometimes it is good to stop for 5 minutes and remind ourselves how good we have it. This is especially important if we’re ploughing through some really difficult moments.

Everyday Life
After 1,000 blog posts, today seems like any other day. It was a great milestone to achieve and I celebrated the moment but now life goes on.
You can understand how astronauts, Olympians, professional athletes and big stars can have some mental health challenges when their time at the top is all over.
Once you’ve walked on the moon or flown in space, how does everyday life compare? It’s as good as it gets. And then it’s over. Then you need to find joy and appreciation in other things. Everyday life is simple. Enjoy its simplicity.
Thank you to all those who sent me congratulations on the 1,000 blog post milestone. I’m grateful for your encouragement and support.

1,000 Blog Posts !!!
An historic milestone! I’ve written 1,000 consecutive, daily blog posts now. I hope you’ve been enjoying some of them and some have made you pause and think more than you normally would.
Most importantly, I hope some of my thoughts have helped you to take action in your life and improve some things you wanted to improve. Perhaps you’re now even living your dream!
Years ago, I set out to write 365 consecutive, daily posts, but I just kept going! The first ones were uncomfortable. Now I may be Unstoppable! Like I wrote in my book, you can Achieve Anything!
When you achieve something notable you should celebrate it! That’s step 7 in my book. So join me in celebrating this 1,000th consecutive, daily post. Tell your friends. Have them join in. Especially if they are trying to achieve anything specific in their life right now.
Woo hoo!
What’s the next big goal?! We shall see.
For now, though, I am celebrating. ?
