Live each day as if it was your last.....

When I was young, I came across the following quote: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right."

It certainly made an impression on me and, since then, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"

Whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something……

Why not try this yourself - you may be surprised at the results....!

What if your website could talk and help you convert prospects to sales?

Businesses spend thousands and thousands of ££s every year on advertising and marketing their business. In a business start-up phase though, not many of us have unlimited resources to throw at this expensive, but necessary, activity.

However, you can increase your online sales and profits with a very simple tool. AudioGenerator. This is a really fast, easy and economical way to increase your online sales and profits without additional spending on advertising costs.

Golf balls, pebbles, sand and coffee

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 cups of coffee !!

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar were full. The students responded with an unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favourite passions - and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car. The sand is everything else---the small stuff. If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

'Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.'

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.'

The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.'

How true!

Knowing Yourself to Understand Others


Have you ever heard the saying 'to understand another person, first you have to walk a long way in their shoes'.


Well, yes, to a certain extent there is something in this. It means that you need to feel what being the other person is like to be able to relate to their experiences and feelings.


Beware, however! You may find that walking a few miles in someone else's shoes will damage his shoes and also hurt your own feet.


So, before walking in another person's shoes - look at your own feet first.......

Energy Reach

Well, it's Sunday night and it's been a pretty packed weekend. We've finally caught up on a lot of gardening and it feels so satisfying to see the results!

I know the weeds will come rushing through again, especially with the changeable weather we're having, but it was great being outside soaking up the sun while doing the gardening.

The only problem is that I know feel exhausted after so much physical work (while not being very fit!). At times like this I use a NLP techniques to re-energise myself and thought I would share this with you.

It only takes about 3-5 minutes and is a great exercise to do every morning to ensure that you've got bags of energy to carry you through the day.

Here goes:
  • Stand tall and stretch your arms out above your head. Reach as far as you can.

Imagine that your body is being pulled up from the top of your spine by a very strong silken cord.

When you feel that you have stretched as far as you can, stretch just a little bit more - you always can! Feel your body strengthen and lengthen. While you're doing this, remind yourself of all the great goals you're reaching for. Maybe it's the promotion you want; the new job; the improved relationship; a great physique - you name it!

Hold the position for about 20 seconds and then release. As you release breath out looooonnnnnng and slow.

Repeat two more times or for as many times as you like.

I find this exercise really energising - I hope you do too!

Have a great week.

Take Action..........


A wise person once told me that, in every person's life, there is a moment when the awareness of their destiny bursts, like a bubble, onto the surface of their conscious mind.

At this moment, people who are weak tend to make themselves busy with the day to day mundane tasks of their lives. They avoid the realisation of what has happened.
Conversely, when this happens to a strong person, they awaken! They decide to take what action is needed to change the world for the better. After all it's their world as well! By doing so, they secure for themselves their rightful and valued place in the history of humankind............

Take action now!
