Is it time for a change?

Is it time for a change?

‘I don’t wake up every morning positive, but I do wake up every morning and try to be positive.’

Do you take waking up in the morning as a God given right or a God given gift?

Some people will go to bed tonight and will not see another morning ever again. They will not see another sunrise.

Never see their partner or children ever again. Never have another cup of tea or coffee, eat breakfast. Never hear their favourite song or watch their favourite film ever again.

 Nor will they ever visit their most favourite places anymore. They will not share a kiss or a hug with the person they love most. Never plan another holiday, weekend or night out. Never be able to tell somebody they are sorry or that they love them.

On flip side of the coin they won’t have to ever moan about their job, the weather, a work colleague, their Boss, friends or family. They will never have to worry or fret over bills, money or a mortgage. Never have another sleepless night worrying about finances or illness, or when they will be able to afford that 31-inch television or new car and fix that leaky roof.

How do you view the above statements?

 Do you think thank fuck for that or do you now crave for another day?

Another day to right a wrong. To improve your lifestyle. To make better use of your time. To metaphorically mend fences and build bridges. To take that opportunity. To get around to doing the things you have been putting off.

If so then hopefully tomorrow is your new dawn, isn’t it? Or will you carry on the same as ever?

The frame of mind you wake up in is the frame of mind that determines the rest of your day.

The frame of mind you maintain throughout the day is the frame of mind you will go to bed in.

If you want that Friday feeling on a Monday, you can have it. 

After all, how we feel is determined by the thoughts that are conjured up in our head. Not determined by a day, a date or the weather.

If you want sunshine in your head every day when the skies are grey, you can have it. It is up to you. Really it is.

What thoughts you put into your head are controlled by you not anybody or anything else. It is no different to the type of food you put into your body. It is your choice good or bad. Right or wrong? 

Only you can ultimately decide. You must take responsibility and stop blaming everybody and everything for how you see life.

Life will ultimately throw you challenges. It will test your resolve and your spirit. Isn’t that was living is about? If you weren’t facing challenges or opportunities, then you might as well be dead.

‘Ships are safe in harbour, but ships are built to sail.’

Don’t waste your days being unhappy. We all get 24 hours in a day. It’s how you use them that count. Are you living or existing?

If you are not happy in your job, then do something about it. Not happy in your relationship? Then do something about it. If you are not happy about your weight, then do something about it.

Want to play a musical instrument, write a book, paint a picture, run a marathon, gain a black belt, visit to Australia?

Then do something about it.

You may not be-able to change things overnight but start by planting some seeds. You reap what you sew.

If a farmer doesn’t plant seeds in his field, come spring he will have no harvest.

Too many people are seeking change without doing any work.

They are relying on the lottery win or the scratch card to change their lives.

So, get the fuck off your ass and get out their planting seeds. But, remember when you plant those seeds they will need nurturing and watering. They need to be re-visited daily to see their progress. They will not grow on their own.

To keep the dream alive it must be worth it, surely?

Also, be careful were you plant those seeds.

Any get rich quick scheme or miracle cure is bullshit.

You plant your seeds in the dark and they will die.

Sometimes the lift to success might be out of order but you can always take the stairs, as sales legend and inspirational speaker Zig Zigler once said.

To keep your dream alive, you must work at it.

If you do the same thing week in week out, month in month out, year in year out, you will get the same result. It is no use moaning about it.

If you put 10p in the bank of life what will your return be?

If you put 10,000 in the bank of life that will the return be?

Too many people want the big return for doing nothing.

Success requires arduous work, tenacity and a dogged belief to succeed. It also requires sacrifice. There is no growth without pain.

God helps those that help themselves.

Once you start change and plant seeds you will find there are people out there ready to help you, but you won’t find them sat at home moaning.

Is it easy. Hell no. If that was the case, we would all be millionaires sat on a cloud playing a fucking harp.

The question is how bad do you want it?

Do you want to go to Australia? Then start saving. £10.00p a week will give you £540.00p in a year. Four years should get you on that plane. Yes, its four fucking years, but do you want to go? Or do you want that pair of shoes, that 40 cigarettes, that bottle of whisky, that night out, that wide screen tv, etc?

It down to priorities and having the balls to stick with them and not deviate.

Remember a journey starts with a first step.

So be thankful that you will probably get wake up tomorrow to another day.

So, go to bed thanking God. If it wasn’t the best of days tell yourself tomorrow will be better.

Wake up in the morning, thank God and tell yourself today is your day and no matter what shit you encounter or how many arseholes will cross your path. 

It and they only matter if you allow it to.
