Every day is a bonus

Posted on by philipdodson

If you are reading this you are alive.

You will have had a lifetime up to today.

There will have been good, bad, and ugly days.

The thing is every day that we wake up is a bonus, there is no guarantee, there is no contract that you’ll definitely get ‘x’ amount of life.

If you are here to just eat, sleep, work all hours to pay bills that make others wealthy and buying stuff that will not enrich our lives, then there is no point.

We are all here for our own individual purpose, spend a little time each day making this day count in some way towards that purpose, do something that brings you joy. Spend time with those who matter, make experiences, make memories.

Don’t waste the bonus that today is.

Exam Results

Posted on by philipdodson


Today is the day for exam results. 

Many will be happy and many will be disappointed. 

I’m disappointed that we have a culture that measures a young human being’s worth by their achievements in a test. 

No results will determine your life, unless you allow it. Perhaps, we could all lead change by not being disappointed in our children, it will not result in anything good. 

It will only perpetuate this cycle of results = worth. 

For those who are disappointed by their results today, use that to manage your expectations going forward and remember you’re already worthy regardless of your work. 

Education is not gained at the industrialised systems education factories only compliance and preparation for a lifetime of servitude.
