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

Every step forward is a leap of faith

The balance of good and bad is universal. It is the topic of countless wonderful novels, movies and plays. From the cosmic interplay of elements on the largest stage, to microscopic battles within your very soul, it rages on eternally. Every step forward you make is fraught with treacherous temptation, that you feel will send you tumbling into the black hole of darkness and despair. But be brave. Be sure and confident that the direction you take will be full of happiness and

A parents challenge

I would walk through hell to find you. I would march against the world to protect you. I would sacrifice myself, to give you one more day of sunshine. And, I would throw caution to the wind, if it meant bringing beauty within your world. If an obstacle appeared on your horizon, I would break it down or carry you over. Even for only one second of joy and happiness. I would never let another take away your sunshine. And I would bring the rain when you needed refreshing.

Open your eyes, The change in your life could be right in front of you

We often get caught up in our own world and problems so much that we forget that life can really change in a split second. Take a look at what is happening in Egypt for example. Less than two weeks ago everything was as it has been for the past 30 years. But one spark, one moment a person reacted to an opportunity and it caused a ripple of effects that has created the situation we see now. The same can easily happen to any individual. I do not believe in a pre-ordained destin

There are no encores in life

Do not stand in the shadows on the side of your stage. The spotlight that is your life is already waiting for you to step up and shine. All the answers to your fears are not in self books and quotes, but deep within you. You are the only person who can move yourself forward, you are the only person that can accept that ‘yes’ you may fail but by god I WILL TRY! You are the only person that’s knows the secrets of what you would like to try, if only once just to see what it was

Let your potential burn bright

Our world being full of humans is like the universe being full of stars. Not every star glows as brightly as the other, yet each is so full of potential that they illuminate the space around them. Whatever orbits these stars will be affected by the gravity of personality. Some stars though have a cloud of haze and fog that surounds their beauty. A self made cloak that shields them from prying eyes. Outside influences try and remove the clouds yet the dust settles around the s

Is change in the world something we can really make?

This is a question I recently saw on Twitter whilst watching the comments about Egypt and the situation there. I can understand peoples pessimism but we have to look back at our, the worlds, history and see that you do not need to be a top scientist, president or student at Harvard to make a difference to the course of humanity. I am a firm believer that one individual, no mater who or where you are can make a concerted change to the world. Every change we see starts from one

You learn more from your mistakes. Make as many as possible.

I have talked about this topic before but last night I had a small discussion with my son, who is 8. He has been having a few problems with his reading. After a few discussions with his teacher I decided to show him something. I sat a hat on the chair and took a pack of playing cards. We sat on the floor and I told him to flick the cards into the hat. As he started the cards flew literally in all kinds of directions. Then he got one that bounced of the rim of the hat and I as

Write chapters to help others

Blaze a trail of hope and glory, Live out your dreams; create your story, Fuel your passionate desires, Light that inner most; burning fire, For the path ahead is yours to pave, Where ambitions wait that you do crave, Help others whilst you lay each stone, Cement the friendships; don’t go alone, For each and every friendship brings, Heartfelt help; that gives you wings, To soar amongst the angels keep, Sat on your shoulder when you weep, A life of triumph for you

Tumbling down the rabbit hole

We all will face a time in our lives where we are afraid of what the future will bring. It seems that suddenly there is no floor beneath us and that sick feeling we get when falling comes from the depths of our stomach. Many things in our life will cause this sensation, many moments we spin lost in confusion trying to stop the world spinning for a moment as only to gain our composure. Were we pushed or did we lead ourselves down the dark and strange path? Some, for sure, will

You will not stay lost forever

If I lose my way around the next corner, it will not be a disaster as I have previously thought. No, in fact it will be the greatest thing that can happen to me, as experience has shown me through the years. We walk along a path we know, seeing all the same old things and sharing the same conversations, some call it a rut but for me it is just a normal passage of life that has us so focused on our responsibilities that we have an in built auto pilot that kicks in to keep movi
