You deserve an exceptional life

As parents, we only want the best for our children and we wish we could project our wisdom and life experience into your minds to help you avoid the mistakes and mishaps that we experienced growing up.
In this new world we currently find ourselves in, you will be inundated with advice from adults and schools encouraging you to chase your dreams and believe in yourself blah blah blah......and we as adults have to be mindful of not forcing you into doing the opposite. It IS a fine line.
So for what its worth, I have had a lifetime of proof that it is possible to create a better world for yourself and it is through believing that you deserve an exceptional life and are prepared to do whatever it takes to give yourself that life that you will set yourself apart from the rest.

This video summarises everything we should know to focus and create our dream. It delivers most scenarios that could possibly crop up. All the barriers and resistance, mistakes and the realisation that others will let you down. DON"T let these STOP you from creating the life that you want. Even if it takes years rather than months. Just remember - You deserve it?

Give yourself a moment

Mooloolaba Beach, Sunshine Coast QLD

I recently took a couple of hours out of my busy schedule to stop and grab a coffee at the beach. It was a magnificent spring day. Whilst I was sitting on the rock wall I noticed what looked like rocks just past the breakers with waves gently breaking over the top. That was until these rocks started putting on a performance.  To my absolute delight it turned out to be a mother and calf whale. I was so excited and immediately felt enormous gratitude for this fantastic moment. I must of looked like such a goose laughing to myself and wanted to shout out to the whole beach about the whales. AND then I noticed! No-one else was stopping to notice this magical moment. There were people exercising and others making their way to work and everyone looked so focused just wanting to get from A to B. Some of them obviously noticed me and stopped to see what attracted my attention but still seemed to take the experience for granted. What happened to US?
Sadly, I am guilty of exactly the same thing. I even argued with myself about taking the time out as there were so many other things I could have been doing.  We get so caught up in life that we deprive ourselves of creating these memorable moments which I will now always remember.

I gave myself that time and I am so thankful I did.  You should to... :)

• Stop and ALLOW yourself time to FEEL these windows of happiness.
• Never take these moments for granted. They are given to us to help make a difference to our day
• Appreciate and be GRATEFUL. It is so worth it

Take a moment

Here is a beautiful video reminding us to just STOP. Make time everyday, even if it is only for 5 minutes to go outside, close your eyes and take in everything around you. Be surprised by the sounds of nature, the chorus from the birds or the noise that a breeze makes rustling through the trees. Just STOP and surrender yourself for 5 minutes.
Give yourself this gift of time.

I promise you will feel good!

Simple times

I remember as a child when I use to get caught in the rain in summer and I just loved it. 

When I walked home from school, I had to walk along the main road for about a km with huge trucks speeding past.  When it was raining I use to walk as close to the curb as safely possible so that the splash from the trucks hitting the puddles would soak me. I remember running and jumping into deep mud puddles and laughing. It was FREEDOM in its simplest form.

 I wasn't worried about what my hair looked like or if my uniform got wrinkled (that was mum's problem) or even what people thought and trust me there were plenty of disapproving looks going on.
There was no-one to impress. Just myself and nature 

 

This was a time when life was simple. Simple needs, simple fun and simple joys.

 

I love this image as it reminds me of that simple Time!

 

 

 

Sometimes we just need to stop and remember to have some fun and forget what others think

 

Enjoy Life!

 

 

 





 





True Story

 

 

 

 

 

A 50-something year old Muslim man arrived at his seat on a crowded flight and immediately didn't want the seat. The seat was next to an elderly white woman reading her Bible.

Disgusted, the Muslim man immediately summoned the flight attendant and demanded a new seat. The man said "I cannot sit here next to this infidel." The flight attendant said "Let me see if I can find another seat."

After checking, she returned and stated "There are no more seats in economy, but I will check with my Cabin Manager and see if there is something in first class."

About 10 minutes went by and the flight attendant returned and stated "Unfortunately she has confirmed that there are no more seats in economy, but there is one available seat in first class. It is our company policy to never move a person from economy to first class, but being that it would be incorrect of us to force a person to sit next to an UNPLEASANT person, my Manager has agreed to make the switch to first class."

Before the irate Muslim man could say anything, the attendant gestured to the elderly woman and said, "Therefore madam, if you would kindly gather your personal items, we would like to move you to the comfort of first class as we do not want you to sit next to an unpleasant person."

Passengers in the seats nearby began to applaud while some gave a standing ovation.



The law of the Garbage Truck

 A Client of mine sent this story to me at work.
 I thought it was fantastic and Yes, I am working towards learning this lesson

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of the parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded and missed the other car by just inches!. The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.   My Taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really nice and friendly.

So I asked "why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital"?

This is where I learned what I now call "The Law of the garbage truck".

My taxi driver explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up they need a place to dump it and sometimes they will dump it on you.

Don't take it personally!!!

Just smile, wave, wish them well and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life's to short to wake up in the morning with regrets.

SO.... Love the people who treat you right.  

         Pray for the ones who don't

         Life is 10% what you make it

         and 90% how you take it!

 Have a fantastic garbage free day :)
