The one that got away

Life is full of the ones that got away.

The missed chances, the lost opportunities, the jobs we never got, the exams we failed, the bus we missed, the girl or boy we didn’t get with.

It is also full of all the ones that didn’t, the opportunities we grabbed, the people we met, the things we did do.

Focus on what you have, not what you don’t.

It leads to a happier life.

Jackpot 

If we feel that something is missing from our lives, its unlikely we’ll find the answer in a machine full of marketing promises of a shower of money. 

Yet people queued in their hundreds for a chance to win something. 

If you’re alive you have everything you need and appreciate what you have, not what you don’t. 

We have all the opportunities we will ever need right in front of us. 

It’s a choice whether we look for them and work to realise them. 

Money solves nothing. 

Shortcuts are sold to us with the fake promise of a certain ‘x’. 

Commitment to our dreams leaves our destiny firmly in our control and with it comes a fulfilling purpose to our life.

Each of us has already won the jackpot. It’s today, now, our life. 

Enjoy it.
