Oh my God! Have you heard this as well?

“And I was like, I feel like X” and she said that “she was like.”

Ugh! Such horrible English.

But guess where it comes from, I reckon!

It comes from wanting to be liked by not being decisive in your speech or in your actions.

Nobody simply wants to say “she said and I agreed.” Everything needs to be qualified today. The need to be liked is compounded by everything being relativistic, nothing is true or untrue anymore, it’s millions and millions of indistinct shades of grey.

Let’s try this. Let’s own who we are, let’s stand and earn our ground. 

Make “like” soy again.

It’s the nicest way to start the day, my boyfriend and me exchanging well-wishing messages via WhatsApp – romance for the digital age.

To quote my lovely man “it’s a lovely, bright day, the kind of light that harbingers great things!”

Inspirational and useful too.

Make sure you’re using your choices wisely.

What are you filling your day with?

I’ve been pondering the idea of business recently. There are three main kinds.

Your Business

Other Peoples’ Business

God’s Business.

I.e. What you can control

What you can’t control

What you don’t need to think about

We all have the proclivity to want to change everything. Yep, a tyrant that will make of you.

Decide what you need to work on today, something that you can affect, the rest, leave it to God!

I say it a lot, if you want to find problems, you will – and you’ll do so easily!

I am on the eve of leaving London after nearly 23 years here and am moving back to my native hometown, in the beautiful countryside.

Am I nervous? Yes, of course.

Am I excited? Yes, absolutely.

Am I thinking of good things? Most definitely.

Do you try to know everything?

Do you plan down to the minutest detail?

Do you ever allow yourself to feel satisfied with your life?

Everything has a positive and opposite reaction. Nothing is perfect, nor is it a magic bullet solution. You must have faith at times to be able to move (either literally in my case or figuratively).

Just as it’s easy to see the negative, it’s equally easy, if you want to, to find the liberating and positive.

Today, and every day, that choice is yours.

It’s easy to be down on yourself.

It’s easy to believe there’s something wrong with you because you don’t fit in.

It’s easy to push things under the rug and hope they’ll go away.

No such thing is actually true.

The biggest problem you’ll face in life is wanting to be part of the crowd, to desire inclusion. Big trap.

Every day, you have a choice.

Each morning, I text my fantastic boyfriend. I want him to know how grateful I am for him.

Whether you realise it or not, you make choices all day, every day.

It’s the taking responsibility for what you do that determines whether you’re a child in an adult’s body or an adult in an adult’s body. It’s a long, drawn-out process, but that’s fine.

We are not looking for perfection when deciding “what will today be?”, we’re looking for action. Getting the important stuff done – that is within your control – and leaving the rest to God. 

I’ve witnessed many people, including many close to me, battle away in the attempt to control other people. It’s so fucking boring and pointless.

When deciding what today will be, look for things that bring abundance, truthfulness and peace. War is the enemy of Love.

Love is grateful, prosperous, free-flowing and always present.

How will you make today great?
