Save yourself

You are here to save yourself, to make your life complete, to save you from letting yourself down and failing to do the things that you are truly capable of.

There is not going to be a re-run, it is not like the Christmas repeats of ‘The Great Escape’ or ‘The Two Ronnies’, this is it, this is the real deal.

Each day is what we have, tomorrow is not certain and the past is gone, so what will we make of today? Or will we choose to find a reason to put something off until tomorrow? Yes, tomorrow, that day when all the perfect conditions will occur, that for some reason we need to start to do something that we want to.

There is never going to be that perfect day, when ‘this’ happens and if ‘that’ happens, then I’ll do x, and y, and Z.

Well, you won’t because all the things that you tell yourself that you need for something to happen, never will, otherwise, they would have already happened and you would have started the thing that you have been putting off until the perfect conditions turned up.

They are never going to because perfect does not exist, and even if it did, it would be boring and it would only last for a moment until a new level of perfection would arrive.

There is now, make it happen, do it, enjoy it, and it won’t be perfect, but it will be a million times better than regretting you never tried, than beating yourself up for putting something off, or the feeling that you are a failure because you do not achieve the things you want.

Life isn’t about perfect, it is about what makes you happy and what success looks like to you. Never let anyone, including your own voice, convince you otherwise.

Go save yourself from doubt, procrastination, from waiting to live and make your life happen with all its exciting imperfections.

Save yourself before it’s too late.

‘They’ say

Nearly every question we ask ourselves inside our heads, we deep down instinctively know the right answer for us, most times we do not take our own instinctive advice.

I hear people saying ‘they say I must do this or that’. Who are ‘they’?

‘They’, well ‘they’ are the experts, the people who know what is good for us.

At times in my life, I made the error of listening to what ‘they’ said or what I thought ‘they’ were telling me to do.

But ‘they’ are not the experts, ‘they’ do not know what is good for me and ‘they’ are not me.

In fact ‘they’ do not even exist, we have invented them in our heads to justify, internally to ourselves and externally to others, why we do not do something.

Stop listen to them, stop invent them – ‘they’ do not know us, we know ourselves and that is who we need to listen to.

Listen to you, as you are the expert on you, after all who has been with us all of our lives, through every situation? yes YOU.
