A pinch of positivity

Systematic positive programming is the key to success? This is a tough one. Most motivational speakers say  it is important to keep your mindset in a state of certainty. This is what I learned and it wasn't from some self help book or seminar, although I think their pretty amazing. During my swimming lessons as is usually the case, i was consistently dropping in the pool like a 10 Ton anchor. I asked the instructor why out of all the people in the pool I seemed to be lacking. He said, move from your core, if your core is weak, you will be inconsistent in your movement. The water wants to automatically propel you forward,the reason you keep sinking is because your core is weak. In life our core is our mental ability, use your mind. The water is the universe, push with what you have, strengthen your core, educate yourself, filter the good from the bad, take action, and let the universe move you. We have to take charge of wether we sink or swim. Sometimes you get water in your nose, swallow a mouthful, but you get right back on learning in our attempts to push forward.

The best way to get revenge

Wow we've all been through it.. Your heartbroken not over the guy, but over what the guy thought he could do to you. I'm a firm believer in the belief that sometimes people pick their targets. You envision your revenge being a Mercedes Benz, some sports car, you thin as a cigarette and the most unbelievable stud in your passenger seat, maybe even driving. After all the greatest revenge is success. Yet you know what also classifies as success, forgetting them , reminding them their simply a pinch on Earth, whilst revelling in your new found confidence. Swimming in it like you've just found a tub of money. Consistent rage empowers the person you despise, even if their behaviour was officially not fair, squatting like a toad in your own discontent, whilst they lead their blissful life of nonchalance will not save you. Focus on building yourself up. Happiness.

The greatest revenge is happiness. Who would have thought it. Happiness and pretending as though not only do they not exist but they are completely insignificant. 'Hurt people, hurt people' it's just how it is, you think if someone was happy, focussed, positive, they would hurt you, very unlikely. We have all been hurt people, and we've all hurt someone. The best way to deal with people that try and bring you down, if you have to communicate with them, then be polite, otherwise, if they continue to be toxic dont give them the time of day. Fight for your happiness, that is the ultimate revenge.

The emancipation of your imagination: Inspiration and where to find it

Your walking along a muddy pasture. It's expected anyway, but right there you see a huge pile of dung (shit). When you walk to the left of it, it kind of looks like a human hand, your Friend 'Ben' would probably get a real kick out of this. Although he has a carrot shaped like some bunny ears, and a mango with an indent that looks like MikeTyson .... Inspiration

Inspiration. It can be found somewhere and everywhere. If you don't pay attention, you wont discover it. Maybe it's walks you take, swimming, watching a movie, flicking through pages of an immaculate, uncreased, 1960's issue of vogue. If you don't look, you wont find. Seek, and search deep. Some people find inspiration when they spill too much jam on an overly cooked pancake, they invent a new recipe, maybe pancakes and chilli, with a hint of black eyed beans. A creative way to teach an annoying mother in law, not to intrude on an early sexual encounter with hubby. Whatever it is, Unlike the stories we've been sold many a time about geniuses like Picasso, monet and many others kissed with the gift of inspiration. Inspiration takes imagination, and imagination, takes work. A sense of freedom, and not torturing yourself with perfectionism. Anthony Robbins once said someone who worked for him had made the most genius statement. "We write for the waste paper basket," if your a writer anyway. Freedom to think, explore, design, adjust, should always be apparent in the initial stages.  Enjoy your work, but more importantly, enjoy why your working. Whenever you feel it is turning into a chore, amp up the music, switch on a seminar that motivates and inspires you, go renegade on yourself. There is enough energy, enough flow, to help you on your journey. Take yourself to a peaceful place of flow. It is your treat.
