ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOURSELF

And for goodness sake, stop blaming people for things they have no control over.

Take nepotism. There’s an English singer called Sophie Ellis-Bexter, I really enjoy listening to her music, she’s evolved over the years. She is the daughter of a famous TV presenter of the past, Janet Ellis (one of the hosts of Blue Peter – a big TV programme in the UK).

Now, people try to mask their jealously by using deflection tactics saying “Oh, Sophie’s not talented, she’s just got a famous mum.” I worked with someone who was incredibly critical of Sophie. Let’s call this person Agnes (I won’t say her real name). Agnes insisted that Sophie couldn’t sing. Truthfully, Agnes was morbidly obese and alleges she was turned down for the lead role in Hairspray when it was playing in the West End.

Maybe there’s true in the whole nepotism thing but even if you are resentful of other peoples’ success regardless of the reason, how is it improving your life?

Really!

The world is going to world.

People are going to people.

Outcomes of others will outcome.

And they will do it irrespective of you. It’s just a fact, live with it

Make your own life better.

Do stuff today and every day that makes you freer and more valuable.

Get healthy.

Smile and laugh more.

Do good shit, accept the wins and the losses.
