MY CHRISTMAS MORNING

Christmas day has arrived. I currently sit at my computer writing this. It's 7.45 and I've been up for 3 hours, fed the horses, washed the dishes, had my breakfast and the rest, apart from a brief visit from my lady are all still fast asleep.

This is good though as it gives me time to reflect on the year and what lies ahead. It has been a year of moving forward and challenging myself. I have made some massive leaps forward in my life in the last few years and am preparing to leap forward again as I am starting to feel too comfortable and that is a sign of complacency and that my growth has slowed. Time to push the boundaries of my comfort zone again and see where it takes me.

It has been wonderful to experience once again enjoying my life and feeling all the emotions that were once lost to me. My relationship with myself and my lady gets stronger due to trying to make us a priority. My attitude seems to be better this last year and that has made me feel lighter. In fact the year has been chock full and I wonder where it has all gone, but at least I have been given another day to keep trying for more of the good stuff in life and for that I am very grateful.

I am still working on my workbook for The 7 Big Questions, unfortunately though I realise that summarising 40 odd years of experience, lessons and tools that I've come across into one volume is a massive undertaking and may take me longer than expected to complete. Having said that, once I finish, it should help many people gain control of their lives. Looking forward to that.

My journey continues as does yours and I leave you with these Christmas wishes.

May the gifts you receive this Christmas feed your heart and soul and may you be surrounded by the people who really care about you and that you care for. May you gain wisdom from the year you have just lived so that you may apply it to the coming year and improve the quality of your life and the people closest to you. May your health remain good so you may create a legacy to show the world that you were here and here for a very good reason. May you encounter love wherever you turn and may you give it out at every opportunity. May all your hopes, dreams and desires be realised. May you have the longevity, health, ability and desire to achieve all that you were put here to achieve and may you truly become the amazing human being you are capable of becoming.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family from me and my family.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY READERS

We are now almost at Christmas and another year has left us and we are faced with a New Year. We will have resolutions that we vow to keep, promises made to others and ourselves. We know we want better for us, our loved ones and our friends. We know that it starts with us making a commitment to changing our habits first off, but where to from there? What is it that stops us getting started?

Any journey to betterment requires a plan and first we need something to kick us out of our reverie, our why if you will. What is yours?

Then we need a framework with which to build our plan, then information to fill in all the gaps then something to inspire and sustain us when the going gets tough.

Today I remembered a snippet of a speech given by Nelson Mandela that was a quote from a book by Marianne Williamson. It was given at his inauguration speech as the President of South Africa. It goes something like this;

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others

As I walked along today replaying parts of this in my mind I realised that what truly stops us getting started is that we feel we don't deserve to have all the good things in life. For some reason we feel that we are unworthy but this is not true. We ALL have the same right to joy, love, contentment, wealth, happiness, satisfaction, accomplishment, health, and all the other good things that life offers.

I am here today to grant you permission to reach for, strive to achieve and attain all the bounty that life offers. By the power invested in me by The All Powerful Is that you have the right to pursue all that makes your heart feel fulfilled, to have all that you desire, to be all that you can be, to grow into the magnificent, inspiring, wonderful, loving human being that you are.

There, you now have permission. You can now figure out your why, then get your inspiration, build your framework, collect your information and create a truly magical life. All it takes now is for you to choose to accept that permission for you to be all that you can be, then pursue it with all you've got.

To get you started, send for my free e-book that outlines The 7 Big Questions to create your framework then start filling in the information and you'll be on your way to having a magical life. I'll be waiting for you to join me on the journey.

In the meantime have a wonderful Christmas and New Year. May it be more awesome than the year we just had.

HAVE YOU EVER HAD A DAY LIKE THIS?

Every now and then I stop and think. Yes, I know, don't be shocked, I do do it occasionally. Only a few years ago I was ending a very tumultuous, toxic relationship, one that wasn't healthy or enjoyable for either one of us. I was working in a trade I didn't receive a lot of joy from with an employer who was more frustrating than anything, I had virtually no savings or investments to show for 25 years of working. I had very little if any social circle, I had a lot of stress and tension and the main emotions I could feel were frustration and anger. My hopes and dreams for the future were looking very unlikely indeed. Not a very healthy formulae for living.

Then one day, I had decided I had had enough. I ended the relationship, moved out of the house, and finally I had some peace and quiet to sort out what the hell I had done to my life and consider my options. I sat down and did a 'retrospective introspective'. This is where I look back on my life and really ask myself some hard questions. It took me about 18 months to devise some ideas and plans that were to develop into The 7 Big Questions, and another 12 months to implement them. Within 6 months my life had taken some amazing turns for the better.

Once I had clarity about who I was and what I wanted from my life, I could then plan and design a life that I truly wanted. I suddenly felt so much more freedom and lightness knowing that I finally had control of my life. I went from a small rental house in suburbia with little savings or social life to within a year, living on acreage, running a successful business with a gorgeous lady that I had met, changing to an employer that was more in alignment with where I was going in my life plan, saving more money than I had ever had, a social circle that supported and encouraged me, an online business that is now listened to around the world in a heap of countries and my future looking brighter than I could ever of hoped.

This is the question I have for you and is the title of this blog. Have you ever had a day where you wake up and in the middle of your day, you look around at your life and marvel at how different it is over such a small period of time? Do you ever think 'I am amazed that I could create all this?' It is truly fantastic.

All I did was apply The 7 Big Questions. Nothing more ground breaking than that. If you would like a free 37 page e-book that tells you a little about my journey, The 7 Big Questions and what they can do for you, send an e-mail to the7bigquestions@yahoo.com

I'm also writing an e-workbook that should be finished within the next few months. It will contain everything I used to turn my life around as well as many other things as well as a plan to help you implement it and get the most out of it. If you are interested in that when I am finished, send an e-mail and I'll put you on the waiting list. I am also going to create some audio books and webinars as well down the track. I'll keep you posted on them.

There is only one thing for you to do now. Decide if your life is all that it can be and if you could get more out of it? If it could be more and you would like more, make the decision to do something about it, because only you can. I look forward to joining you on your journey.
