Canny decide...

Here's a thought I had today; 

How old were you when you started making decisions for yourself?

How old were you when you stopped?

Think about it...

I'm thinking a few clients will be hearing this in the not too distant future :)

Quick Progress Update

Wee quickie: Progress, how do you know you've made it?

I meet a lot of people who tell me how stuck they are yet, when they tell me the things they have done, you find out they are amazing. One of the problems, in my opinion, is how stuck people gauge their personal progress.

So here's a wee thing; think about yourself a year ago.  Think about who you were, where your life was, what you knew and what you were doing.  Now ask yourself, how has the 'now' you progressed from the 'then' you?

Now, think about yourself three years ago and ask the same questions.

Keep going if you want to really become amazed at yourself. You ten years ago and you now are very different people I bet!

You've never stopped progressing.  Every day you become more special. You should just accept how special you are :)

Getting out of your head...

Post holiday quickie - how long do you spend in your own head? We can get into a habit of living in everyone else's mind, wondering what they think of us, have we pleased them, do they find us attractive, are we doing the right thing by them? So many questions. 

Yet, do you like the answers? 

The only head that matters is yours.  Yes, it's cool to spend a little time in someone else's head to work out how you can change but that's it. You have the answers to your questions. You need to be open and live YOUR life the way you want to live it.  The people that are meant to be with you, will come with you.

Worrying about what other people think only leads to hurt, suspicion and acting on false information that essentially you have made up!

Trust yourself, live the life you want, make decisions that make you happy first. 

7 Rules of Life - 4. NOW is the moment of power

7 Rules of Life - 4. NOW is the moment of power


Where have you just been? And what is about to happen next? And, mind bending time again, are either of the answers you just gave to those questions real?

The answer is no, by the way.

The past is now just a memory.  A moment in time that only you experienced.  There may have been other people with you but none of them will have experienced that moment, or that moment, or that moment, or (this could go on for a long time so I'm going to stop)...in the way you just did.  It was a truly unique moment of time, experienced in a way no one ever has before and no one ever will again.

The future is a fantasy.  A guess on your best knowledge of what you can see, hear, feel and know about yourself.  But it isn't real.  If you really wanted to, you could run out of your house naked and run around the street proclaiming your love for Doctor Who.  You probably won't but it is an option ( if you do, grab a video and post it. That sounds funny!).  And that's the thing about the future, it isn't defined until you choose what to do next.  And when do you choose..?

Now.  Now is when you choose.

Every second has a myriad choices available.  You can choose left or right, good or bad, now or later, him or her, yes or no, fight or flight, stick or twist.

Now.  Now is when you choose.

So what do you choose to do?  Your life depends on your answer....
