I’m reminded that in approximately 5 months it will be 2020! 2020 … gulp.

My response has been ‘I’m so enjoying 2019 right now, I haven’t really given it much thought’. I declared back in December that this was going to be a fabulous year and guess what …. it’s going just fine.

How’s things going for you? Are you achieving what you set out to do? Or are you still talking about it? If the latter, what’s stopping you? What’s getting in the way? Sometimes a real heart to heart can get to the bottom of things.

Just know that time is zipping past and waits for no man or woman.

I’m ticking off my items one by one. I had made a decision not to do the autumn choir (which I love) because of the timing. However I’ve received an alternative solution which may very well work out just nicely. Thank You universe. I’m keeping the focus and utilising my time wisely. I’ve made sure that I gift myself time for me and maintaining that much needed balance.

Keep the focus peeps, keep thriving and enjoy the last of the summer days.

PS ….

Remember if you are stuck and require a little help and guidance a coach is a great please to start.

Do give me a call if you need. A 30 minute free session is available to you.

Feel free to use it. I would 👌👌

Beautiful summer days …

A boat was docked in a tiny Mexican fishing village.

A tourist complimented the local fishermen on the quality of their fish and… asked how long it took to catch them.

“Not very long” they answered in unison.

“Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?”

The fishermen explained that their small catches were sufficient to meet their needs and those of their families.

“But what do you do with the rest of your time?”

“We sleep late, fish a little, play with our children, and take siestas with our wives. In the evenings, we go into the village to see our friends, have a few drinks, play the guitar, and sing a few songs.

We have a full life.”

The tourist interrupted, “I have an MBA from Harvard and I can help you! You should start by fishing longer every day. You can then sell the extra fish you catch. With the extra revenue, you can buy a bigger boat.”

“And after that?”

“With the extra money the larger boat will bring, you can buy a second one and a third one and so on until you have an entire fleet of trawlers.

Instead of selling your fish to a middle man, you can then negotiate directly with the processing plants and maybe even open your own plant. You can then leave this little village and move to Mexico City, Los Angeles, or even New York City!!! From there you can direct your huge new enterprise.”

“How long would that take?”

“Twenty, perhaps twenty-five years.” replied the tourist.

“And after that?”

“Afterwards? Well my friend, that’s when it gets really interesting,” answered the tourist, laughing. “When your business gets really big, you can start buying and selling stocks and make millions!”

“Millions? Really? And after that?” asked the fishermen.

“After that you’ll be able to retire, live in a tiny village near the coast, sleep late, play with your children, catch a few fish, take a siesta with your wife and spend your evenings drinking and enjoying your friends.”

“With all due respect sir, but that’s exactly what we are doing now. So what’s the point wasting twenty-five years?” asked the Mexicans.

And the moral of this story is:

Know where you’re going in life, you may already be there! Many times in life, money is not everything.

“Live your life before life becomes lifeless”

Yesterday Serena Williams lost in straight sets to Simona Halep. We know that Serena is the better player on paper and all week at Wimbledon she was simple getting better and better.

But yesterday for 60 minutes of the day, Simona out played her, out paced her and won, that’s life!

Serena has 23 grand slam singles titles under her belt, that is an amazing record. She and Venus have made history and are an inspiration to so many. Ask Cori Gauff!

I love that Serena was magnanimous in defeat and acknowledged that Simona played out of her skin and was the better player on the day.

Now that attitude and approach is a winning trait and demonstrates true champion qualities.

Go Serena!

Happy Sunday Peeps.

I’m reading an article on growth at the moment. I thought I would share.

We are often advised to look after our physical hearts by exercising and eating good fats. Not too often are we reminded to take care of our emotional heart. Yes our emotional heart!!! You know, That part of us that can feel hurt so deeply, in fact excruciating pain, causes us to vomit like something has to get out, brings tears to the eyes and leaves us with deep questions. It can often side track us for quite some time, months and even years. So deep is the pain we can often recall it, in a moment, in an instance years after the event.

Eradicating bad feelings and emotional hurt takes practice, time and patience. Hurts can accumulate and grab us by the neck in an unexpected way until we take notice.

If someone has hurt you learn to forgive. This doesn’t mean you’ll forget all together but whilst you keep brooding about it that person has moved on and you thinking about them doesn’t impact them at all. All we do is rekindle the old hurts.

Love your heart in a special way, do something that makes your heart glad and your soul sing, do it often. Give it some fertiliser and a good old pruning. Get rid of weeds and old roots.

My mantra for the last 3-5 years has been ‘Everyday in every way my life gets better and better’. I’ve now added to this line ‘Everyday in every way my heart gets better and better’. It’s a thing of beauty, a fine piece of engineering, delicate and precious. It’s served me well and I no longer allow anyone to steel my joy.

Have a think about it and reclaim your emotional heart, love it and care for it. It’s one life, live it, cherish it and live it well.

Stay blessed peeps x
