Life

Posted on January 20, 2022

IF is in the heart of life.

If I had finished school or gone to college. If I’d got that job I wanted. If I’d been born in a different house to a different family. If my parents had been wealthier. If I’d said no. Or yes. At that perfect moment.

Well stuff the IF! We are where we are. The choices we made have, in part, led us here. Partly our own decisions and partly cosmic fate. Those two combined create our destiny.

We’ve yet to learn how to go back and undo, or redo, time, moments, choices and circumstance. So let’s get more comfortable with where we are.

So take a few moments, right now, and list 10 of your favourite memories. These don’t have to be your top 10 ever. Just the first 10 great memories that pop in your head now. You can keep writing 15 or 23 if the thoughts start to flow and even better, or just more, memories bubble up.

Great! Keep this list by your bed and read each one just before going to sleep and upon waking, every day. Smile. Be grateful. Cherish those babies. Cause that’s our life.

Moormead Pavilion Decision

Posted on January 19, 2022

Fascinating that removing a decrepit, disused, eyesore with no useful functionality and building a new, modern, uplifting and useful pavilion had to be debated for a further 2.5 hours.

The meeting concluded correctly with unanimous agreement to move forward with the plan as spearheaded by Gaz. Well done Gaz, the rest of the team, all the local supporters and the councillors who made a great decision in the end.

Nice to see some common sense being used.

Call Someone Special Today

Posted on January 16, 2022

It could be a parent, child or sibling. Maybe an old boss. Perhaps a friend you’ve not seen for a while.

Whoever you decide it should be, call them today. Even if it’s for 10 minutes.

You’ll delight them!

Celebrate Milestones!

Posted on January 10, 2022

This is my 731st daily post. Today is the 2nd anniversary of my daily blogging. I said I’d do one year and that would be a real accomplishment. Then I developed discipline, a habit and a winning streak and out popped another 365!

I’ve enjoyed writing the posts and I hope many people have enjoyed reading them and got some value from them.

I have 551 draft, or partially drafted, blog posts in my folder. I might use some of those for this 3rd year of blogging. Many were harder to write as they were controversial or required a level of research or nuance in writing them well.

Perhaps this will be the year to let a few of those loose.

I’ve also got a new book written, published and available for pre-order at many online bookstores large and small. Amazon, Waterstones, Barnes&Noble and Chapters/Indigo are a few.

There’s a hardback, paperback and an ebook version at the moment. The official launch date for Achieve Anything is the 23rd January. Look into picking up a copy.

An audiobook version is on the cards but will take more time than I can swing at the moment. It’s something for everyone to look forward to. ?

So I’m delighted with today’s milestone, with the blog, and with having a book available on Amazon.

I look forward to helping more people think better to feel better, open their minds even more and achieve their dreams with 7 simple steps.

Here’s to you in 2022!

Approaching A Milestone

Posted on January 3, 2022

Milestones can be very exciting markers. Approaching a milestone, hitting one or even looking back on one can be quite exhilarating. In a week, I will have written a daily blog for 730 consecutive days. That is 24 months or two years.

That is 730 days of thoughts to help you, and me, get clear on what positive means and how to think better to feel better with all that goes on in this world.

I hope I have helped you get clearer, become more positive and stop and think a bit more without simply reacting to things because that is the easier way. And I hope you are gearing up to achieve anything you want in 2022.

I appreciate your interest in thinking better and feeling better. Hopefully you will enjoy the changes and improvements we have planned for the months and year ahead. #Letsgo! #achieveanything
