Life is not always about finding the answer

I doubt there are many people in this world who do not have a million questions rolling around their mind on any given day. Why doesn’t she love me? Why is he mean? When will I get a pay rise? Why do the children not listen? And even the big ones like; Why are we here? Many of these questions could be answered very simply, yet I am sure that in most cases, even the other party cold not answer them. But the big questions in life keep us searching and guessing year after year.

The hardest thing to face is yourself

Life is full of obstacles and difficulties. This is a fact of life that we all accept as part of growing up. But there is nothing in life we will face that can have as a destructive, demoralizing and negative influence on our lives than ourselves. We are the toughest critic, the sternest of judges and the one person who can decide in life whether we accept or ignore the negative forces around us. The easiest trick in the book is to blame someone else for the tough times we fa

Some changes are just harder to accept than others

We all know change will come, we all know change happens with or without our consent, so we just need to accept it. You cannot fight change, a look back through history will tell you that. You do not even need to look that far back with what is happening in the Middle east. The only thing constant in our lives is change but it unsettles and shakes our confidence sometimes. I’m not talking about the small things as they tend to give you a little wave that they are coming. So w

Light the path for others and one day they will do the same for you

Can you beat the odds when they are stacked against you? Can you defeat the demons that you create? Can you be positive in the face of a negative sea that continues to sweep over you wave after wave? These are the circumstances we face in our daily life, these are the chains that hang around you dragging you deeper into despair. But you hold the keys to release the chains, you hold the answers to the puzzles of your mind, you hold the balance in your mind between moving forwa

Sometimes taking a step backwards is the fastest way to move forward

Push hard against a wall and it only resists you more. A problem in your way can feel like a brick wall that appears out of no where. You were doing fine, just coasting along when you suddenly felt the resistance in front of you. In these situations we often try to push the wall down. Our minds determined that nothing can slow us down or prevent us from moving forwards. But not every wall in front of you is a bad thing. When a wall stops our progress we are forced to stop and

Every exit is an entrance to somewhere else

Many times through life we must focus on new beginnings rather than something coming to an end. Our life is full of chapters, some big some small, but all add up to create the person that is you. Every experience no matter what it holds for you will be a lesson for you to carry forward through the next journey. Sometimes in my life I see the path ahead and it stops me in my tracks, as situations in front suddenly make sense of all the little bumps and turns that came before,

You are the only obstacle in front of you

There is only one thing that lies between you and your dreams; and that is you. For every excuse that we put up about we do not have this or that, I can’t do anything about it or I it’s just not happening are words we create to make us feel better about a certain situation. It is no secret that the world is facing one of the hardest financial situations, possibly, of our lifetime. It is extremely difficult to achieve the things we want, but we are the biggest of the obstacles

When you are not involved, don’t complain!

When my life recently decided that she wanted to buy a dog, I have to say I was less than enthusiastic about the idea. With the busy lives we lead and the traveling that both of us do now I couldn’t see the logic behind it. But like most things my wife managed to convince me it was a good idea, maybe she is the one who should be working in advertising! We had discussed it a few times and I kept putting off the idea as much as I could. The a few weekends ago we, my wife and 2

“It is not your past that defines you, only what you do next.”

I remember hearing Tony Robbins mention this at a TED seminar and just thought, ‘of course!’ We often talk and use excuses the happenings of our history both as individuals and as the human race. What happens just never seems to be our fault; it’s because of this or that. Well after hearing this I made a concerted effort to just be positive and look forward to the things I am going to do, rather than the things that had happened in the past. I feel a completely different pers

Facing the conflict within our own mind

Do your dreams feel trapped within your mind? Are they bursting at the seams to escape the confines of your inner subconscious? I once read that our dreams are ideas we have when we are not putting up barriers and reasons why it will not work, or more damagingly why I cannot do it. We all face this conflict on a daily basis, but there are some dreams we have that just keep banging on the door of your heart, screaming for your attention. And if the heart doesn’t listen the ide

What are you waiting for?

In this life we can often sit and hope that things work out the way we want. We watch movies and documentaries, which show people who took hold of their destiny and tried to achieve something in their life. Yes it is true that you might not reach your goals, at least the fist time. If everything in life came easy we wouldn’t appreciate anything we achieved. If you dream of doing something, no matter what it is, start putting in action things that will help you achieve those g

Accept the changes that you face in life

The problems we face in life can be devastating at the time. They can rip out our heart and leave us floundering in a fog that can last for days, if not longer. But often when we look back we notice the bigger picture, or the lessons we learned and have a positive feeling about something that, at the time, was very traumatic for us as an individual. I know, I have faced many demons in my life, and my life has taken many twists and turns that I didn’t understand at the time. S

Insecurities can stop you in your tracks

Faith in yourself is the biggest test you will ever face. You can believe in anything you want but if you do not believe in yourself then you will always struggle to overcome the insecurities that constantly hold you back. Imagine you are in the water swimming along happily and suddenly you start worrying if your stroke is correct. Your arms suddenly feel heavy, you are conscious of your legs kicking against the water and you realize that you are not moving forward as swiftly

It is not the destination that defines us, but the journey we take.

I remember as a child in school feeling lost and confused when discussions about a book would take place. I remember listening to other children talk about a book in a way that I often question that I had even read the same book. The story beneath the story was what they would talk about and I can clearly remember thinking, “Why can it not just mean what the words say?” I had many lonely moments looking back through classics like William Shakespeare and Charles Dickens trying

If you dig a hole and it’s in the wrong place, digging it deeper isn’t going to help.

Some quotes make you pause, some quotes make you think whilst some quotes just hit you right between the eyes and you think why, oh why, did I not think of life that way. I guess photography is not the only thing where the angle and direction you take the picture it is important. As in life we need to look from both sides to see the whole story, look deeper for better ideas and look to our friends and families for guidance when we are lost. Life is as complicated as we make i
