Experience everything

"When you lose, don't lose the lesson".

- Anonymous

To lead a full life with no regrets is probably my biggest wish; that and being happy in general. But life isn't always that kind and with the happy times will come occasional shades of grey and perhaps a few thunderstorms that mess things up for you really badly. Those periods where you lose and things don't work out exactly as you had hoped, no matter how much you tried or wanted them to work in your favour, are the times we would run from if we had a choice. Or at least i would - my brain works on a more flight not fight mechanism.

This anonymous quote above reminds me (and i hope it will remind you too) that although we don't always win in life; there are always things to be learnt from living the experiences we do so that we can become stronger individuals in the future. The lessons we learn along the road of both good and bad life events are what makes us the person we are today.

So think of those bad times as a chance to grow, improve on yourself and become even stronger than you ever thought possible before the unwanted experience found you.

Here's hoping that there are more periods of sunshine in our paths than dark clouds.

My positive side says lets get a tan but the cautious inside voice is telling me to sensibly bring my umbrella just in case.

What are you most passionate about?

Here is a video to inspire your start to 2013. When i first saw it i knew i wanted to share it, as it talks about something i truly believe in: striving to do things in your life that you are truly passionate about, instead of just chasing a job that will lead to making loads of money. For many of us money is the key motivator in choosing our direction in life starting from the subjects we study at school to the level of education we pursue, which ultimately leads to a career that will make the money we so desire. But this video questions such motivation. In fact it goes as far as to say that it's a stupid way of living and i agree. The truth is we do things that make us bored and unhappy in order to attain the money we require to 'purchase' our happiness. All we should be doing is asking ourselves simply what it is that we desire to do in life and then just do that instead. That way we can be happy all the time and still be able to make money from our passion if we bec...

I follow Tew on this one

“Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy.” Robert Tew When i first read this quote i thought, yes! I agree and of course this is how we should all be. It's the only way to really achieve that happiness factor that we crave as human beings, but when we look at everyday decision making in reality, can we really say we have all done this to the nth degree? Chosen to leave a job as soon as it got tiresome and less rewarding or did we stick it out to get that promotion we thought was well deserved after however many hours, months or even years of effort went into it.  Can we honestly agree that every relationship we have been in has served us well, or made us grow for that matter?  I think not.  It's sad to admit but the decisions we make in life don't often involve our own happiness as a first basic instinct. We tend to rationalise and within a capitalist society we try to b...
