We all have habits.

Most of what we do every day is habit-driven. It makes sense! If you had to stop and make decisions about everything all day long you’d be exhausted by lunchtime!

Why?

Because your brain is lying!

Listen to what it’s saying and scrutinise the statement before swallowing it whole.

I’d like you to look at life a little differently.

Life is not a game to be won or lost!

It just is.

All you have to do is live it.

Life is truly a marvel, and you will miss out on so much if you spend your time trying to control what happens.

Can you wait? Can you wait indefinitely? Can you keep on waiting …?

So - what are you waiting for?

Are you waiting for things to suddenly turn around and trundle forward just as you want them to?

Isn’t that what we all yearn for? To be able to do what we love, all day long?

I guess it’s the reason so many people look forward to retirement - so they can leave the hateful or boring day job and enjoy endless gardening, or travelling, or reading, or …

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?

“Oh my gosh! Does that mean we are predestined to live life as dictated by whoever set up our belief system in the first place?”

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

Worried about how to make your new career a success when there’s so much to learn?

And are you worried that you’ll waste the time and money you invested in your prior learning? It cost a lot to learn your previous subject, and you don’t want to think it will all be lost.

According to a recent YouGov poll - YouGov is a British data analytics company - 57% of British workers want to be able to work from home after the pandemic.

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.
