Fun 🙃.... What is it to you?

Seriously (that's such an anti-fun thing to say haha) but seriously, I'd love if you could put some ideas of what "Fun" is for you in the comments.

Is fun intangible? Is it an attitude, a psychological phenomenon, is it play or just simply enjoyment? 🤔

I'd really love to see some examples of what you might do for fun in the comments box below.

(ones that come to mind for me are "Laughing, being with loving people who like to laugh, riding a bike downhill and rope swings over rivers")

Regardless of whatever it is though, I want to make the point that "Fun" is not a destination because it's not something you always need to plan. Nor is it something that can wait until later because Fun is spontaneous too. Fun is ridiculous, fun is play, fun is natural and good for the soul.

If any of this has got you curious or filled you with a desire for more, then you're in luck. Because I'm inviting you to my event tonight called "Old Life, New You" at 7:00pm online.

If you'd like to attend and have some fun with me then register here to meetup with me there.

P.S, if this is your first meetup event with me, may I suggest logging in 5 mins earlier, and if my Zoom asks you for a password just ignore it, it should time out and take you to the meeting automatically. 😁👍

If you had to choose between Fun and Success, which would you choose?

Which do you think you promote or model to your kids?... Think about it, because they won't do as they're told, they'll do as they're shown.

I've seen many people through life told to "stop mucking around and get on with it" or expected to focus, be serious, work hard etc. It's like fun and success were separated, and fun was something to do later and they end up thinking that once they are successful, then they'll have fun.

Well, maybe you agree with me that one without the other is pretty useless? 🤷

I say we need to be more "Fun smart" and enjoy ourselves to the max at everything we do. Enough seriousness, find the fun in everything. The challenge, the lesson, the reward and even the sheer fun of it because fun honestly is so frickin awesome!!! 🤩

Fill your day and night with fun 🙃 and you'll travel way further along the road to success than ever. Fun is not a destination, it's a magical ingredient as well as being the most eco friendly, self-sustaining fuel around making your whole road trip the best thing ever.

I'd like to invite you to join my Meetup group tomorrow night at 7:00pm where I'll be sharing my event "Old Life, New You" and let's have fun learning how to have more of this most precious yet most underutilised commodity.

Fleeting is the pleasure of whatever we distract ourselves with from becoming all we can be.

It was Maryanne Williamson who best expressed why I think....

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented,
fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?”

Whilst we don't realise how little time we have to live our purpose, it seems we do have more time to spare daily than we realise. 🤔

What I'm talking about is how we're often living under our own perceived pressure from our own beliefs to do more, to be more, to do better and be better etc. We're always "Trying" to be more than we believe we are, so it's little wonder we feel like we always need "More time" to achieve everything we need to be that imaginary person.

This feeling causes us to get restless when other people are talking too, wishing they'd just hurry up and get to the point or wanting them to stop so you can reply with your stuff. I've been too much like this in a previous corporate career, I'd finish peoples sentences for them because I had things to do, I was missing out on so much.

Despite being under this self-imposed pressure though, isn't it odd we always find time for our distractions but still no time to listen or just "Be" with other people? We're all up to date with news, sport, social media etc, yet unaware of how the real people around us are feeling or why they're being the way they are.

I think we are missing the art of real communication by being wound up so much by our own beliefs and expectations.

We could all practice taking a deep breath, and just "Being" more. Allowing more time in our lives for silence, for feeling into who we really are and what we're feeling.

We as a society could well do with rediscovering how to just sit and deeply listen to each other too, without haste, without needing to have a say, just really listening.

The amount of time you yourself allow for you to use is important, and the more well spent it will be. If you're driven by your schedule built upon perceived pressure, take time NOW to schedule time in for you to listen to yourself, your feelings and your dreams.

Then schedule more time in to listen to other people until they have been able to empty their heart to you.

Because we have less time than we realise, and more time than we think.

Start now to stop more... stop scrolling, talking, doing.... you can do it ☺️🙏

Ok, if you feel stuck somewhere in your life, perhaps a relationship, your career, maybe even your health goals or whatever yet you don't feel you have any hope of changing it?

Then what if you could change yourself into a person that can? 🤔

It's not too late to register for "Old Life, New You" which is a free event being run tonight at 7:00pm on my Meetup page.

Do you know we miss most of what really happens around us every moment? 😲

The human consciousness can only process, interpret and act upon a very limited amount of all the information sent to it in the time it has to do that, so we rely on our beliefs, assumptions, perspectives and feelings to fill in the blanks. 🤔

One thing we can do is connect ourselves to more people and open ourselves up to the way they see things. They will see what you don't and understand things differently too and vice versa.
🙂😊🙂😊🙂😊🙃😊🙂😊🙂😊

Patience, understanding, empathy, curiosity, humility all go a long way to helping us see more of the truth. 🤓👍

🎉Happy New Year🎊

I love the pause between the Christmas build up, the end of year wrap ups, the parties, the family get togethers and the start of the real summer weather, the cricket, the tennis, the beach and time to breathe, because no matter who you are we will all reflect on this year and wonder about the next.

I'm not a fan of New Year resolutions by the way because they're often made in the spirit of the moment and not with the commitment required to really follow through and actually change.

If you'd like my advice, it would be to not waste time with any new year's resolutions which are destined to fail and prove to yourself yet again and build on your existing beliefs that you simply can't change...ever.

Instead take a deep breath... relax, and with all the time in the world ask yourself what do you think the real reason is and where has your belief you can't change come from? 🤔 And just let that thought sit and stay there until in it's own good time it reveals its truth to you.

When you finally expose your inner most unconscious fear that's been holding you back all this time, you will also reveal your true self that has been waiting just as long for you to find it.

Then with all my heart my friend it will be my very great pleasure to wish you the Happiest New You ever. ❤🙃

I wish you every success and ultimate happiness.

Thank you for liking my posts through 2023 🙏

In the words of the wonderful Mary O'Malley "Whatever is in our way IS the way".

They're often sitting right in front of us blocking our way, almost as if to get our attention.

If we tune in to how we're living and look afresh with new eyes, we might just see ways to begin unravelling their mystery.

Rapid growth come's from solving the things in our way 😎👍

Morning reflections 🤔

I love learning, I really do, but my most profound epiphanies always follow the exercising of any knowledge I gathered, that's when the knowledge makes more sense. Everything in life is teaching me all the time making life truly fascinating.

So, the more I do and the more I observe and reflect the more I'm learning.

I don't see getting knocked down as so much of a problem anymore. It always hurts like hell, emotionally, financially, physically, in every which way possible. But each time I've learned that it's getting up again that really counts.

You see I've been knocked down, jumped on, chewed up and spat out by life 3 times now in devastating ways and countless times in lesser degrees. In the beginning the worse I was affected the more like a victim I behaved and so the more like a victim I became.

But the absolute GOLD this really gave me was to STOP waiting for things to get better, for more opportunities or for bad things to change. The more I waited the more Victim like I became and the more my life accommodated that.

Life doesn't get better you see, we do.

Stop wishing for a different life, and start being a different you.

If you register here, you can meet me there and join me where I discuss "Old Life, New You" and how to begin.

Ever wonder what it could be like to travel back in time and fix your life?

Well, what if you could just start life again now, but be a different person, a person who knew what to do to make the changes that would transform your life into one you love, and what if you had all the energy and desire you needed to do that and enjoy it?

Thanks to the rapid advance in Neuroscience, human behaviour and psychology we've learned how to adapt and change in ways that work.
You can change your life and turn off the bad habits that keep you unhappy.

It was Henry David Thoreau who once famously said "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation" acknowledging the struggle in most people's lives to simply be happy.

So, let's consider who might be longing for a better life anyway? Well, anyone who is...

Lonely.
Stuck in an uncaring relationship.
Stuck in a monotonous career.
Burned out by relentless stress.
Feeling of little value or worth.
Exhausted yet unappreciated.
Feeling unimportant to their children.
Depressed.
Anxious.
Prisoner to an unhealthy lifestyle.
Certain they were meant for something more meaningful.
All these feelings and more disempower and control us.

Everyone knows we all have choice and it's possible to make change but so many of us don't know what to choose or where to start and so they just wait... and wait... and wait as their precious life passes by.

By attending "Old Life, New You" start learning the difference between "Effectively being you now" and "Always trying to be someone better" so you can stop waiting and start effectively being you right now.

It's easy, it's FREE, on January 3rd at 7pm and you're invited so register here to meetup with me there.

Are you playing the game of your life...
or still waiting for your turn? 🤔

Always "Trying" to be better than we believe we really are can lead to us having poor mental health and a low level of enjoyment of life and happiness.

If you feel like you're constantly competing and wondering why,
or procrastinating because you can't get something right?

Then consider this, maybe you have been taught failure is a bad thing and to be a success you need to be the sort of person who gets things right? 🤔

If this sounds about half right or more, take a deep breath, relax and appreciate that "Failure' is an outcome, but probably it just wasn't the outcome you wanted.

We want desirable results fast and failure means a do over and frustration. But many things have been discovered through elimination and perseverance.

For example, did you know Thomas Edison tried a 2774 different filaments before finally creating a reliable light bulb? 💡🤭

So next time you're feeling frazzled or down, take a deep breath, appreciate that you are of equal value to everyone else on this planet and smile at how caught up we all get with this bizarre expectation of always being right. I mean who on earth is ever that right? 🤷

So enjoy your failures as much as your successes and appreciate the process, just like Thomas Edison did. 🙃

Life is life, the Sun gets up and sets again every day as it has for eons, it's the same day again and again.... but our experience of it is different each time depending on all the variables.

But have you ever thought your day was worse than other peoples? Or maybe not the day at all but your run of bad luck?

As a coach I've meet all kinds of people who wonder why their life is worse than other peoples and they are blaming all the wrong things for theirs not being better.

Even worse is they wait... and wait, and wait, and do you know what they're waiting for? A break, a change of luck or for the day when things will change and so they continue to wait and in the back of their mind they're blaming so many things that really aren't true for their perceived "Bad luck" in life.

Which is just crazy because there really is nothing to blame at all, instead it's more like there is everything to learn.

So, what if I were to say that you could start a new year in 2024 as a new you? 🤔

That's right, a New You!!! Because life will keep on being life and each day will repeat itself, but in the meantime, you can learn to change, and you are quite capable of stepping back into your old life as a new you and completely transforming or changing it for a different one, one that suits you better....

But definitely NOT by waiting for LIFE to get better.

If this sounds like you, then stop waiting and hear me talk about all this in my Meetup group this coming Wednesday at 7pm online.

(Although this is focused towards men, this event is open to all)

Summers 🌞 nearly here, and after long hot dry spells comes the occasional rain soaking the dry dusty land releasing a beautiful wet dusty smell, which is for me one of life's little pleasures.

Being aware of whatever is happening around us is a great way to release ourselves from living on automatic where we're so often consumed in thoughts of the past or the future or staring at our damned phones that we miss out on now as it happens.

Next time you notice some enticing odour on the air take the time to take a deep breath and appreciate the now.

Ones that always grab my attention are... Freshly roasted coffee beans, leather, Daphne, Roses, Thyme and Rosemary and Roast lamb or bread being baked....

So what are yours? 🤔

Dolly Parton said one of my favourite quotes, it goes like this....

"Figure out who you are and then do it on purpose."

It's a follow on from the age-old advice of "Know thyself" but honestly, it's one of the core principles of a happy and meaningful life. 🙃

Just like Happiness, Love is a result, we all want it, we all seek it.

Why is LOVE so great then, what's so good about it, what difference does it really make?

And how do you get it back after it is lost? How do you know you ever really had it to begin with? Did you ever experience it, if you think so why do you think so? What difference would having more make to you?

It's good to wonder....

I'm hosting a free Masterclass for Men tonight, this is your last-minute opportunity to register a spot for yourself right here....

Belief + Perseverance = Passion?

I watched "The Last Word" last night on SBS and totally loved it. And I also loved a line Shirley said in it.......

Every living thing is a Sacred Vessel

Beauty surrounds me, yet sometimes I need to search for it, I think it reflects the attitude I carry in my heart, and when I notice where it is in it's multitudinous forms it always fills me with gratitude. Sometimes it's the little things

I think I've said it all : )
