You have iron in you…what is it worth?

A block of iron can be worth around £5

But invest some time and turn it into a horseshoe and the value grows to £12

If however, you choose instead to invest more time and effort and turn it into needles, then the value is now £3,500.

If you nurture and train yourself to learn new skills and then make balance springs for watches, the value of that iron is now worth £300,000

 

So what are you worth if you apply yourself? What can you mould yourself into if you just tried?

 

You have the potential inside to be whatever you want to be. With a little nurturing and training, you can realize your true potential.

So don’t leave the iron to rust and be next to worthless. You are worth far more so mould that potential and free your magic!

Don’t Bother…

“Don’t bother helping other people, as other people don’t matter, you need to think only of yourself

Don’t bother helping others in need, they can help look out for themselves without any help from us

Don’t bother giving to charities to help others, because you should only think about yourself!”

 

Is this the language and the thoughts of a decent human being, who shows compassion to their fellow man?

Or are these the words that seem to be the new “standard” of behaviour being encouraged by some people of influence?

 

Rise above this poisonous rhetoric. Keep your standards high and don’t shy away from helping those others who need help.

Don’t stop saying supporting words to those that need to hear them. Don’t stop giving your love and compassion to the world at large. Because by being compassionate and thinking of others, sets us apart from wild animals.

We have evolved away from creatures who only think of themselves and not others. So if you succumb and go back to this backward thinking, you are returning yourself back to a primitive mindset with poor standards.

You are better than this. You are a compassionate, helpful and kind human being. With thoughts and actions which show this.

Keep your standards and integrity high as you are a wonderful HUMAN being, not an animal!

I see so many people posting…

I see so many people posting pictures on social media of memorable moments in the past and some wish for those moments again.

Whilst I appreciate it is lovely to reminisce the past, we can’t live in the past. We can only affect the present and the future.

The past doesn’t define your future either, so enjoy the memories, but don’t live in the past. Live for today and plan and enjoy the future.

Your future hasn’t been defined for you yet, and if you live your life to the fullest you may find future memories you create, may become even better than the ones you have already experienced.

That, however, is up to you based on your actions from today onwards.

What would happen if…

What would happen if you said, “Yes, I WILL do it”, more often during your life’s journey? Instead of, “No, I can’t”?

Even if you didn’t know “HOW” to do what you are saying “Yes” to, you are now opening up opportunities that weren’t there already. Yes, you may have put yourself under some pressure to achieve what you said YES to, especially if you didn’t know how to do it yet. However, success in life isn’t achieved by saying NO to things.

Success comes when you say YES and then make a go of it!

What if it’s all a dream?

What if what we are experiencing is all a dream? What if when we eventually die, we actually wake up?

This has been doing the rounds for a while, in that we are all, in fact, dreaming of what we see and do every day. A bit like the film the Matrix.

But because we don’t have any evidence to prove this as yet (if even we ever can do!), we, therefore, have to go with what we DO know and have evidence for. Which is that THIS is our life and we need to live it as best we can and lead it as fully and as fulfilled as we possibly can.

Because if eventually, we do find out that this is all just a big dream, then we would have at least lived the dream beautifully and not had a nightmare instead!

 

Change can’t…or can’t change?

If you often catch yourself saying, “I can’t do that…”, change the vocabulary to “won’t” instead.

Why would changing the word CAN’T to WON’T make any difference, you may ask?

Well, it’s a small step in you realizing that the control is yours and doesn’t belong to some external factor totally out of your control.

You are CHOOSING not to do something as opposed to you really being unable to do it.

This small change in words makes a difference in your mind, so you realize the reason you are not doing the “thing” is entirely up to you!

Once you have made this first step, the progression to “I CAN do that…” will be easier

So changing CAN’T to WON’T is just the first part of your journey, to “I CAN!”
