Know Thyself:

Enjoyed a great day out again today catching up with family and spending time with a colleague collaborating on what we are both doing in business.

Both Chery and I are intentionally thinking about where we are in life, where we want to be and what we need to do to achieve these goals.

It sounds easy, but really, if someone walked up to you today and asked you what you wanted to do, where you wanted to be and what you would like to have accomplished in 5-10-years' time, could you answer or would you just say, I don't know or some other vague answer?

Take time to know yourself. Know thyself, said Aristotle. When you know who you are, you can be wise about your goals, your dreams, your standards, your convictions.

Knowing who you are allows you to live your life with purpose and meaning.

It's nice to have a little help, but we often resent when someone else tries to do it all for us.

Each individual wants to make their own dreams a reality.
Being of service to others

If someone hands you the whole thing on a silver platter, they gift you the result but rob you of the accomplishment.

Remember this, not only when chasing your dreams, but also when supporting others.

Help along the way, but let them run their own race. Your job is to live life with them, not live their life for them.

Enjoy this beautiful day.

Digital or Paper?

As this programme starts Tuesday, I decided to get ahead of myself and ordered a Monthly Calendar Planner, a Weekly Planner and a Whiteboard with the intention of knowing where and when I should be doing something.

It has been said, and noted, that I need to get up to speed with technology a bit more.

I do most of my business routines online with no problem at all just not to keen to rely on digital diaries and reminders.

What do you think Pen and Paper or all computerised??

What next:

Having moved into the online space and looking around whilst slowly plugging away with it, I seem a million miles away from getting to where I want to dream of being.

Sometimes even daring to dream is scary, letting alone doing the dreaming and then the working towards each part of the goal.

Next week I chosen to accept a 3-month challenge to dare me to dream and progress to working toward that dream.

It is a programme by those who have been there done that and maps out what I need to do to accomplish each step.

I am excited and scared all at the same time.

Sunday and the first day of Spring:

As usual went to church this morning, to the same one as last week and it seems to be what suits me which is great.

Having lived up here for 20 years, and been away for 10 years, I am meeting people that I haven't connected with in a long time.

Then of to spend time with family both out the other side of Auckland and in Central Auckland.

Really enjoyed my day.

this picture is of Goat Island a protected area for marine life, established in 1975 and located near Auckland.

You can swim, snorkel, dive, kayak or take a glass bottom boat tour to explore.

This is a fairly common trip for school children.

Live your Dreams

"Dreams are fun when they are distant. The imagination loves to play with possibilities when there is no risk of failure.

But when you find yourself on the verge of action, you pause. You can feel the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Thoughts swirl. Maybe this isn't the right time? Failure is possible now.

In that moment—in that short pause that arises when you stand face to face with your dream—is the entirety of life. What you do in that pause is the crucible that forges you. It is the dividing line between being the type of person who thinks about it or the type of person who goes for it.

When I really think about it, I want that moment to be my legacy. Not that I won or lost. Not that I looked good or looked like a fool. But that when I had something I really wanted to do, I went for it."

It's raining, thunder and lightning so a wee bit spooky.

I had a lovely slow start to the day which is my favourite sort and then this afternoon had a new friend in business come over. So, so nice to talk personally to someone on a subject we are both interested in.

This is my favourite part of business. Meeting people and learning all sorts of new things, because of course, the subject doesn't stay business.

Looking forward to catching up with her again one day soon.

The picture certainly doesn't match the weather, and I'm thinking and hoping I don't look quite so old, but I love it so putting it here anyway.

Words of Wisdom

Don't say you can't do something... say you'll learn how to do it.

Believe in yourself and your abilities.

You are capable of achieving anything you set your mind to.

25/08/2024

What did you do today?

I found a new church in the area I am living in currently. Great service, lovely minister and reconnected with people from my past.

In the afternoon I caught up with some awesome friends for a cuppa. Really relishing being able to see friends I haven't seen for so long.

Believe in yourself:

Believing in yourself is about trusting in your abilities and your judgement.

It’s about listening to that small inner voice that says, “I can do it!”, while ignoring the one that says otherwise.

Believing in yourself is important to achieving success, finding fulfilment, and ultimately living well.

When you believe in yourself, you create all sorts of opportunities for the achievement of your aims.

It can open up worlds of possibilities for you.

But also know that lacking belief in yourself is just as powerful.

When you don’t believe in yourself, you limit your opportunities, diminish your potential, and can dramatically limit the quality of your life.

23/08/2024

The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused).

I have the strategy, the opportunity, the proof of literally thousands worldwide and the unique compensation plan, to earn from a few hundred to multiple thousands per month.

Enjoying life

Had an awesome day today going out with my mother to visit a couple of my sisters who live relatively close to each other.

Excellent lunch with one and afternoon tea with the other.

So nice not being in any rush to be anywhere and happy to sit amongst the traffic just having time to chat to each other between sisters.

Got home this evening feeling relaxed and all ready and primed to jump onto my computer.

Living Life

I have definitely started life over a fair few times.

I am looking forward to getting back to my usual work as a support worker after an extended period of time off work.

I am enjoying getting my online business of the ground and through that growing so much as a person.

I am gaining more confidence in myself and slowly, slowly beginning to put myself out there.

I am learning that generally the people that matter to me will support me and cheer me on the way.

I am enjoying having my own space in my wee flat and looking forward to in time getting back into my own home.

Life is good.

I have just started watching a documentary by Dr Joe Dispenza. He does some fascinating work.

Did you know that:

With 1 hour of focused concentration, on 1 concept or idea, literally doubles the number of connections in your brain and literally produces physical evidence as a result of your interaction in your environment.

There is so much to learn on so many subjects. I love learning fascinating new things.

I Continue to Expand My Horizons;

As the week winds to a close I have had time to look at what I have achieved over the last 7 days.

I have learnt more on what Kangen water is and the benefits to our bodies and the environment.

My skill at imparting this knowledge to others is not as expert as some, but I give myself grace as we all take time to learn new skills.

The business side of it is so unique and so simple and effective.

To be able to earn a living from anywhere there is WIFI available makes it viable for a large range of people.

For those wanting to work from home, or travel around the country, or other countries, or like me people who are unable to go to the physical work place at present.

I have listened to a few podcasts, watched and participated in a couple of classes I am currently in.

I have had time to visit and catch up on news with a couple of old friends that I haven’t seen for so long. A few more that I can hopefully catch up with in the next week or two.

I tried once again for a mortgage but still no go. So, I am trying to buy a house with the funds I do have. Only time will tell if that goes ahead. If I don’t try, I will never know.

I have settled in nicely to my lovely little flat and appreciating being able to have some quiet time to myself while life continues to unfold before me.

Do drop me a message or an emoji if you would like to know how it all works?

This really appeals to me and embodies what I have been learning on a daily basis

!!! Celebrations !!!

Our Mother, and Matriarch of the family, is celebrating this week reaching 90 years of age.

I travelled up Friday to spend time with Mums close family and friends with an awesome get together over the weekend.

I am looking forward to celebrating the actual date with her later on in the week.

Remember to celebrate the moments, rather than rushing past in an effort to get on top of everything.

The little things do matter.

I saw a suggestion recently to not look at your phone or computer or any other technology first thing in the morning. Instead take the time to do your morning routine.

It really works. I take the time to go outside, enjoy my surroundings and give gratitude for the day that is ahead.

I have found that my mind is clear, and I get to enjoy absolute peace and tranquility that once technology intrudes dissipates so quickly.

27/06/2024

I take positive actions each day and have been changing the course of my life.
