Being this inspired to put pen to paper, or in this case, fingers to keys hasn’t happened in a while. Lately, my time has been consumed with growing my business and plugging myself and my time into that during the moments I’m awake.
Tonight’s blog is a combination of
lots of little things that has brought me back here with a view to share a few
thoughts. The overwhelming theme this evening that I’m compelled to write about
is life changing – no literally – I’m
talking about; changing lives.
The things we say and do for each
other, good or bad, have the potential to send us on paths of varying pain or
pleasure. You might have had the desire in your mind to do something risky, out
of your comfort zone, but you were too scared until some random person; or a
good friend said: “Go on, why not give it a try...” and here you are, doing
things with your life that you thought you’d never do, never thought you had
the strength to do.
In light of what I just wrote in the
previous paragraph, it’s so important not to be overly critical about yourself and
the state of play your life is in, especially if you feel like life for you
currently isn’t so great. We can all identify with times when things were not
as sparkly or shiny as we’d like. During those times why not dedicate a portion
of your energy into making someone else happy, I guarantee you’ll be happy too
as a result. If a friend is debating a serious decision, don’t tell them what
to do, help them to find the answer on their own. The best part about discovery
is when you’re equipped with the tools and support to engage in it on your own.
As hard as life can be, why make it
harder by spending precious hours being angry at other people. Do you have a
passion? Is there something you’ve always wanted to do? Why not give over the
time to get on with the things your heart is asking you to do, and thus make
your heart ‘happy’.
Are you reading this and thinking; I’ve got so much negativity around me, it’s
impossible to think straight’ and if that’s your existence right now, what’s
stopping you being the person to send out the positive vibes missing from the
circle of negative things trying to permeate your everyday life... I’m not
saying this stuff is easy. I’m not saying you should listen and do as I say either;
I’m merely handing over a different way of looking at things.
I was in a crappy place a few days
ago for a number of reasons and within that crappy place, during those crappy
moments, I thought: why can’t I flip it
all 180 degrees, turn that frown into a smile, that dirty look into one of
empathy and so on and so forth, and then it hit me – RECYCLE EVERYTHING!
So that’s exactly what I’ve been
doing for the last several days. Anything I deem to have the potential to bring
me down, I change it in my head, and it works. It takes some getting used to,
and don’t get me wrong if you still want to grab a friend and have a rant; don’t
avoid the opportunity, but as I said earlier – make someone else’s day brighter
then work on yours...
We spend a hell of a lot of time
looking for people to love when the one person we need to love is the person
you are right now, in this moment and every moment that came before and after.
Once we master that, other people gravitate towards us in floods. I can
honestly say this is true, it works, I wouldn’t bullshit you for the sake of
saying it on my blog to get you to read anything additional that I may write.
Try it... Forget about that awesome person you’re trying to be with (it’s
incredibly likely that very person has done exactly what I’m suggesting to
you).
In summary:
-Make others feel good
-Think positively in the face of
hardship
-Get out of your comfort zone
-Love ‘you’ first not last
-Make your heart happy
And
like I do with my blogs I’m ending with a song. This song in particular is one
my dad used to play when I was younger, it reminds me of a time when life was
awesomely cool. I listen to it now I’m older and really hear the words and in
some way I think my dad was teaching me something that he knew I’d eventually
figure out for myself. I plan on letting him know I have...
