Happiness – Snippet

People will tell you that happiness isn’t possible, don’t believe them, that will only make you miserable too. Thinking like that can lead to a long life of believing the worst, not trusting life, and sticking with all the wrong decisions because if it isn’t possible to be happy, why bother changing anything. Might asContinueContinue reading “Happiness – Snippet”

You Are NOT Your Bank Balance

One of the little pieces of blackmail I have always ‘loved’ is that if you don’t charge enough for your work you don’t value yourself and other people won’t believe in you. That, or charging weeds out the losers. To a certain extent that is true, because some people value money in the wrong way.ContinueContinue reading “You Are NOT Your Bank Balance”

No idea

Just live! What will your life be like in three years? I don’t have a clue? Isn’t that wonderful?! I find that if you try to think ahead you will always see more of what you have now. Whereas if you go with the flow and keep your eyes wide open, you never know whatContinueContinue reading “No idea”

The Good Ones

What principles define how you live? Kindness, inclusion, respect, consideration, thoughtfulness, gentleness, understanding, tolerance. Which is why I find this world so hard to tolerate From having to hit the car horn if someone dares to want to share a road with you, or refuse to move out of your way instantly in a trafficContinueContinue reading “The Good Ones”

A Cause

If you had a million dollars to give away, who would you give it to? I would invest it in social housing in this country. By invest I don’t mean for profit, I would invest in lives. It would be a drop in the ocean, but why help one person when you can help many.ContinueContinue reading “A Cause”

Square Peg!

Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. I’ve felt out of place most of my life. I felt out of sync with my family for as long as I can remember, and eventually that imploded. I kid you not, years ago I could walk into a room, take of my coat,ContinueContinue reading “Square Peg!”

Happy Things

What details of your life could you pay more attention to? Focusing on happiness whenever and wherever you can find it changes your vibration. Looking on the bright side of life attracts you to those things. We’re not made to live in the darkness of a troubled mind, unfortunately that’s what our society focuses on.ContinueContinue reading “Happy Things”

Fulfilled?

In what ways does hard work make you feel fulfilled? When it comes to the day job I can honestly say that in 40 years I had one job I liked. But then I’m not a career person. Cleaning the house leaves me with a nice feeling, removing the stress of the dust, I feelContinueContinue reading “Fulfilled?”

The good things

What things give you energy? Nothing saps my energy more than the violence and unkindness in this world. From social media, through being unable to trust our police forces, to inter-family spite, school bullying, bullying at work, genderism, colour prejudice and on and on. Thinking about our various societies just makes me want to putContinueContinue reading “The good things”

I Mattered

Share a lesson you wish you had learned earlier in life. But very little else did. I was raised begging for attention, for fairness. No matter how hard I tried, how well behaved, I could never win. I used to describe myself as 3/10 must try harder. My younger brother and I agreed when weContinueContinue reading “I Mattered”
