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!

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!

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.

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.

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 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!”
