Hot, damn hot, followed by hot and sticky

Posted on by philipdodson


Life like the weather is a conundrum. 

We spend all year wishing for summer, for hot weather and we spend big sums of money on flying off to hot places on our holidays. 

Yet a few days of heat and everyone is wanting it to be cooler. 

Often in life we wish for something and when it comes we don’t like or want something else. 

Being contrary is common. It comes from a habit and conditioning that gets us to seek and strive for what we don’t have. 

Contented people seek for less and that’s bad for consumption, compliance and business. 

Being happy with what we have removes the pressure for more and leads to contentment, meaning and joy. 

By the way the weather is the weather so just be happy. 

It’s not what we need

Posted on by philipdodson

We need many things.

Others like to tell us what we need to do.

We need this.

We need that.

I need.

You need.

Need, need, need, need……NEED.

It’s not what we need that makes life magical or matter.

It is what we want.

If you want something enough, you can choose to achieve that dream and you’ll be inspired to achieve it.

If you just need it, you won’t, need is functional, dull, necessary.

Want is inspiring.
