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. 

Joy or not? How to declutter

Look at what you own, your possessions, your stuff, how much of  do you keep yet never use?

Our wellness is massively enhanced mentally and consequently physically by having a clutter free living space. Yet a good number of us accumulate a great deal of stuff. 

Do you have things you’ve not touched or looked at, say, for a month? A year? 2 years? 5 years? Maybe since childhood.

Often, when we come to have a clear out it’s hard to decide, we can soon make a case to keep any item. 

A simple way to decide is to pick up the item and if it instantly gives you joy, then you have the answer. 

Once you have decluttered you can then have space and make accessible all those things that bring you joy.
