Head up, shoulders back and smile

The universal truth is your best friend when it comes to sorting out your mind. Sticking only with the truth in not easy but it reduces, stress and anxiety. 

The next time you catch yourself speaking about someone behind their back, we all do it, ask yourself if you'd be brave enough to say what you have to say to their face. In the church (not than I am religious) to bear false witness, ie to cast aspertions on someones character is a cardinal sin and yet we do it all the time.

We don't like everyone we meet. We are not attracted to everyone we meet. The facts of the matter are we will only ever attract ourselves, the best reason to work on yourself if one day you want to hang out at the top.

It is not the small thing, that doesn't warrant the response, it's a build up of incorrect subconscious programming over time that has to be dealt with.

Have you ever said "I never lie", "I am an honest person" "I don't lie"? Now ask yourself if any of these statements are actually true.

Life to me is like a book and we all read it. Happiness is a true blessing and we all need it. Happiness comes from escaping your denial by learning to smile because we are all here for just a while. Life is never about fitting in, it’s about being yourself. The past can reflect who you are today but may not reflect who you are in the future because it’s not always about how long you try but about how hard you try.

If you spend your time...

What to do on one of those dull, dark, grey days, that keeps you locked up indoors with cabin fever going stir crazy, fighting off the feelings of depression and wishing we could just book a one way flight to paradise. Even I admit to feeling a little low energy on days like these but I put that down to missing my daily walk in the countryside. The sky opened up, the rain poured and even I gave it a miss instead.

I really work hard on days like these because I truly hate to see...

We are living in a world where people are obsessed with the act of projecting their own behaviour on to that of others. So why do we care so much about what others think of us?
