This depends entirely on what you choose to behold. Those who believe in the best, seek the best, and see the best. Those who distrust the process of life, people, and the existence of happiness will subconsciously seek proof that they’re right. It’s all about attitude, perception, beliefs, and choices. We make those choices everyContinueContinue reading “Thinking About Beauty”

What it Means to be British
John Curry The British are often seen as apologetic losers, too modest to win anything. Accepting defeat too easily. You only have to look at both our top football teams to know how good we are at crumbling when the going gets close to success. I’m not knocking them, I’m the same. I don’t haveContinueContinue reading “What it Means to be British”
Backward Looking Forward Thinking
We all think about the past. Many of us hold on to aspects of the past. Some of those things are worth remembering, some are not. Try telling your mind not to think about the things that aren’t worth recalling and on a good day it will behave, on a difficult one it won’t. Particularly if you haven’t beenContinueContinue reading “Backward Looking Forward Thinking”
Not in My Wildest Dreams
Did I ever think I’d constantly write about being quiet and preferring peace. In my youth I had all kinds of ideas, but no idea how to achieve them. My parents were more likely to say no than ‘why not, we will back you.’ They considered praise to be dangerous as it created arrogance. TheContinueContinue reading “Not in My Wildest Dreams”
Three Things – Better Than
The need to be ‘better than’ arises from fear of not being good enough. Even billionaires suffer from it, as witnessed with Musk and Zuckerberg. Talking about a cage fight because apparently being wildly rich and successful isn’t enough, there has to be more. In this world we judge by race, by skin colour, by gender, byContinueContinue reading “Three Things – Better Than”

The ‘sigh’ in the Room?
When you suffer from mental health issues you’re often treated like a pair of curtains. People try to be sympathetic, lose patience, and suggest that you try harder or pull yourself together. They may not use those words but it’s implicit in the chivvying up process. You can’t whip yourself together with one smart pull,ContinueContinue reading “The ‘sigh’ in the Room?”
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”
I Want to be Cheery
I want this This world is not getting with my program of happiness, joy, peace, love, acceptance, sharing. It’s rather irritating. Okay so no one has heard of me, which is a bit of a drawback, but even so there’s nothing wrong with my plan. It means everyone is joyously happy, well fed, cared for,ContinueContinue reading “I Want to be Cheery”
