Some ONE?

Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

One!

There are so many people who have impacted my life that the idea of choosing one gives me a headache.

From the famous to friends, I have been blessed by so much help and generously shared wisdom, that it’s hard to say whom or how many have impacted my life positively.

I could give you a huge list of names, but either I leave you thinking “Excuse me? Who?” or “I don’t have time to read this.”

From Queen Elizabeth II, to her successor, to Pope Francis, to my university Professor Iftikhar Malik, down to Lesley and Keith, who started all this, there are so many stories, so many lessons, so much knowledge.

However, the impact is the point.

The how

How was I so positively impacted by so many people in ways that changed me and my life?

Because I’m willing to feel better

Because I will leave no stone unturned and no idea unexplored that might help me

Because I dismiss nothing until I’ve tried it

That’s how I was positively impacted by all those people.

I allowed it because I wanted to be happy.

And that’s the why

If you’re not happy inside don’t try to change the outside. A new job, house, partner, etc., is always refreshing, but if you take the same you into all those situations you will get very similar results.

You know yourself that when you feel good the sun is warmer, the sky is more blue, the stars are brighter, and yet the cosmos didn’t change just for you, it was always like that.

Also, don’t try to change yourself because you’re wrong, that’s not the point at all. You’re not wrong, you’re having an authentic reactions to the events of your life, and you’re experiencing them in the only way you can, your way.

Just decide if your life is working for you, if you’re not happy identify the pinch points, and then start reading, researching, talking, going to events where people think differently to you, and build a new library of knowledge to work from.

You wouldn’t read only one book and keep reading it, so only one lot of knowledge trained into you by the past shouldn’t be enough either. Only one set of ideas limit you. Only one set of beliefs stifle you. The more open you are to new information the easier it will be to find the you that you want to be.

All you need to do is decide to be happy, work out a starting point, and have fun becoming a bundle of joy.

Sounds too simple? It can be as complicated as you wish, but complication is a) exhausting, b) time consuming, and c) often pointless.

The simpler and easier the better, why stress yourself further to feel better, kind of defeats the point I think.

Best love

Best fun

Best Happiness
