Monday Motivation – wise words from Mr Peale

30 July 2007

If you want to get somewhere, you have to know where you want to go and how to get there. Then never, never, never give up. The secret of life isn't what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you. Help other people to cope with their problems and your own [...]

25 July 2007

I recently phoned Thomson Directories to enquire about one of their products and all the person answering my call did was take a few details from me and tell me I would be contacted. In 2007 when we can see a golf ball from space, fly virtually anywhere in the world in a matter of hours and are capable [...]

Monday Motivation – If only I really could….or could I?

23 July 2007

I am hereby officially tendering my resignation as an adult. I have decided I would like to accept the responsibilities of an 8-year-old again. I want to go to McDonald’s and think that it’s a four star restaurant. I want to sail sticks across a fresh mud puddle and make ripples with rocks. I want [...]

Wire in the blood – Hypnotic manipulation?

19 July 2007

I really enjoy ITV's Wire in the Blood drama series, it is my favourite TV programme, and last nights episode was brilliant as usual. Full of witchcraft and a lot of discussion about the power of the subconscious mind and our beliefs. The main character, Tony Hill, was arguing that witchcraft only exists because some people [...]

Monday Motivation – My favourite

16 July 2007

Here it comes again, it's been on here before, though not for a while, and will certainly appear again. Simple, concise and true. Words are only words, the actions of others are only the actions of others, it's the meaning that we attach to the words and actions of others that is important. “The longer [...]

Weekend approaching

Global warming

Not much of it in Watford at the moment. July and I'm wearing a jacket to work. The cows must be being fed something healthy that doesn't make them burp. Be happy, Dave.

Monday Motivation – Don't lose the plot

9 July 2007

It's important to keep track of where we are going, our hopes and aspirations, and to actually make the effort to achieve them. Don't be a dreamer, don't be a talker, be a do-er. The world is full of people who “one day” will ..(fill in the gap)…. “One day” is here, “one day” is [...]

Monday Motivation – that word "can" again

2 July 2007

I've said before and will say again that one of the easiest ways to create an instant change in our lives is simply to swap the word “can't” for the word “can”. With the following piece, if applicable, swap “man” for “woman”, “he” for “she”, etc. THE MAN WHO THINKS HE CAN If you think [...]
