It’s YOUR life, and YOUR thoughts

You will never be happy if you are bowing to others’ opinions!

Like you, I was “brung up” to be polite and respectful


I would take others’ opinions most carefully into consideration.


Our daily habits make our life what it is. What we can achieve every day is entirely down to how we spend our time. And that’s often governed by habit!

Asking questions is an art! Ask the wrong question and you are guaranteed to get the wrong answer?

To get the answer you want, you must ask better questions!

But what question should you ask?

As a busy friend of mine once put it, talking about running her farm and her young family, “Some days I meet myself coming back!”

What I’d like you to look at today is what we can control, and what we can’t.

And how to tell the difference

We live in a time of unprecedented knowledge about, and care for, our health.

And after centuries of considering women a poor copy of men, the health professional world now sees women as separate entities with a totally different make-up!

Do you find yourself always putting others first?

This m-a-a-a-y not be quite what was intended when you were brought up to be kind and thoughtful.

Being kind and thoughtful is ACE! Of course! We all want to make the world a better place for us being in it.

You have everything in place. Really, you do.

You KNOW what you want to do with your life … you just don’t seem to be able to kickstart it into action. Doubts and other things are always getting in the way.

Goals are the beacons we drive towards in our lives. And we need to adjust our course as we learn more and find what works and what doesn’t.

I got great at setting out my goals at the beginning of the year. Over Christmas I would spend time reflecting and laying out my plans for the year.

You may feel that you are powerless.

You may think you’re a victim of your circumstance. And that nobody understands just how difficult it is for you to shake free and do what you want.

One of the biggest logjams in people’s lives is caused by the feeling that they can’t stop.

They think they can’t afford to stop.

They are convinced that stopping what they’re currently doing will result in a total loss of income and that they’ll end up living in a van under a bridge.

“I’m waiting for something better to turn up.”

“I’ll just hang on for a bit longer, till an opportunity presents itself.”

“The perfect job for me must be out there …”

I hear people say this, and I think - “but what else have you tried?”

You see, you are more than you think - wayyyy more!

And limiting your possibilities to what you’ve tried before is never going to open the door to anything new.

I hear frequently that people have a desire to make changes in their life, but … BUT BUT BUT - there follow lots of buts.

Your brain should be your servant. But sometimes it’s your master. You think of something you’d like, and your lizard brain jumps in and says, “Danger! Get back in the cave!”

What they’re saying is that the men seem to have the self-confidence that they feel they’re lacking. The men’s ideas are considered more important.

Now, this is not a man-bashing session - far from it. We all have to work or live with people of both sexes. So we need to learn a bit about what makes them tick!
