Juice with a side of life advice


A couple of months ago i went travelling and as expected when you're on holiday; i was in a particularly good mood so it struck me as odd to read this sticker (seen below), on the back of my gourmet juice. The title was enough to deter me (due to its negative inclination) but i kept reading out of curiosity and found that the message actually gives some sound advice. 

It spills the truth about life and how we all have a limited, one time only offer, to be here but it also makes some positive suggestions as to how we should make the most of our time. Getting air, educating ourselves, watching the sunset and being more appreciative of everything are some obvious observations and while we can agree that these are true, i think many of us forget them sometimes because we are too busy focusing on all the other areas that consume us daily. As i continued to drink, I pondered about what i had read and I realised that the juice had done its job. It had me appreciating my life and it got me excited to think about what i was going to do in the future. It seems like such a small thing, but to take the time to think about these things is vital to our happiness and ensuring that we end up where we believe we are heading.

How to make decisions

Indecisive? Don't worry you are not the only one. Many of us fall victim to the lack of certainty when concerning various aspects of our lives. Whether it is to pick a life partner, choose a career path or order lunch, it sometimes feels like an overwhelming abundance of choice that results in our inability to pick just one of the options. Below are my tips for getting you through the confusion: 1)    Weigh up how you would feel about this decision if you were a parent or an older version of yourself. 2)    Would you be proud to admit that you did it? If the answer is yes, then go ahead with your plan. 3)    What do the hoards say and what do your closest friends say? Try to blur out the masses and listen to those that know you best. They will steer you in the right direction.

Making mistakes is natural

When i read this quote as part of a promotional email this morning, it really resonated with me. I feel that a lot of us want to take steps in life that are perfectly planned, executed and which always deliver the desired result. As many will have experienced, this wishful thinking doesn't always occur but i think the quote below explains exactly why it's ok to make mistakes and in fact that mistakes are what make up our lives in the first place! "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing". - George Bernard Shaw
