Change habits and you can change your life

12/23/2023 by

Change HabitsIs your life not quite going in the direction you’d like it to go, dear reader?

Somehow, you can’t quite achieve the results you’d like to achieve. Would that be true?

In the video included here, Bob Proctor explains that the reason you’re stuck and can’t get the results you want is likely to be because of a paradigm.

And what’s a paradigm?

Well, Bob goes on to explain what paradigms are and how they are formed.

He also explains how change can be achieved.

If change is something you’d like to achieve, then this is a really interesting presentation; it is fairly short but worth watching.

I recommend it to you, so take a few minutes and check it out now.

What makes a great idea and why you should keep a journal

12/22/2023 by

What makes a great idea.What makes a great idea? Now, that’s an interesting question, in my opinion.

How is it that one idea can be successful and another idea less so?

Why has the iPhone been so successful, yet once-popular smartphones like the Blackberry have disappeared?

How do you know when one of your ideas might make a big difference?

The importance of timing

A key ingredient for a great idea is timing. Ideas are a dime a dozen. The trick is to know when one of your inspired thoughts is right for its time and, therefore, how hard to push it.

If you’re too far ahead of other people’s thinking, that inspired thought you believed was a great idea will only be ignored because it won’t resonate with people.

If you’re too far behind, then it will be ignored because they’ve seen it all before or something else is already doing it better.

However, if you can hit that sweet spot between the two extremes, then you can generate value from your idea because it will solve a problem or capture the imagination of the people who are ready for it.

An idea whose time has come is a truly great idea. Though coming up with one is not so easy, of course.

Good ideas are valuable

Great ideas are rare, so they become very valuable. And that value is why it’s worthwhile to constantly seek out great ideas.

Should you decide the world is not quite ready for your inspired thinking, don’t worry. The world not being ready now doesn’t mean the world will never be ready.

Keep a journal and make a note of all those flashes of inspiration. And add your journals to your library. Never throw your journals away. Go through them occasionally and see what ideas you’ve had for which the time might now be right.

Keep a journal

The real message today is: KEEP A JOURNAL.

Your journals could be a source of pure gold in the future, so make sure you buy quality notebooks that you can add to your library as you fill them with your thoughts and inspiration.

By keeping journals, you’re creating value. Value starts with a good-quality notebook, so it’s worth investing in quality.

And never, ever dismiss your ideas. They may not work today, but one day they may make you a fortune.

15 inspirational quotes on things that really matter

12/21/2023 by

5 inspirational quotes on things that really matterToday, I thought it might be interesting to explore some inspirational quotes on things that really matter.

When our lives are busy, it’s easy to lose sight of what really matters.

We sometimes get absorbed in things that we think matter, but eventually, we realise that they don’t.

In my opinion, the thing that matters most in life is people. And by people, I mean family and friends.

Human beings are social animals, and we need people. Without family and friends, we have nothing.

Well, that’s what I think, but what do others think?

Here are 15 great quotes that will get you thinking about what matters. I’m confident you will appreciate them, dear reader.

So, see if you can work any of them into your day.

Inspirational quotes on things that really matter (1-5):

  1. Nothing matters very much, and few things matter at all. ~Arthur Balfour
  2. It’s not what you look at that matters; it’s what you see. ~Henry David Thoreau
  3. The summit is what drives us, but the climb itself is what matters. ~Conrad Anker
  4. It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong. ~Voltaire
  5. I’m having fun. I’m being myself. I’m doing what I love. That’s all that matters. ~James Charles

Inspirational quotes on things that really matter (6-10):

  1. The most important thing is to enjoy your life – to be happy – it’s all that matters. ~Audrey Hepburn
  2. It doesn’t matter where you are coming from. All that matters is where you are going. ~Brian Tracy
  3. It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. The act of dying is not of importance; it lasts so short a time. ~Samuel Johnson
  4. Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. ~Norman MacEwan
  5. The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is neither likely to make money nor find much fun in life. ~Charles M. Schwab

Inspirational quotes on things that really matter (10-15):

  1. The greatest tragedy for any human being is going through their entire lives believing the only perspective that matters is their own. ~Doug Baldwin
  2. If life be short, then moderate your worldly cares and projects. Do not cumber yourselves with too much provision for a short voyage. ~Author Unknown
  3. Focus on what lights a fire inside of you, and use that passion to fill a white space. Don’t be afraid of the challenges, the missteps, and the setbacks along the way. What matters is that you keep going. ~Kendra Scott
  4. The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration. ~Pearl S. Buck
  5. If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep even as Michelangelo painted, Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well. ~Martin Luther King

15 amusing quotes by Spike Milligan to raise a smile

12/16/2023 by

I love to read amusing quotes by Spike Milligan. He was undoubtedly a man with a funny bone.

In case you’re not familiar with his name, Spike Milligan was a funny, irreverent, and much-loved comedian and staple of British television and radio for many years in the post-war era, right up until he died in 2002.

Terence Alan Milligan was born in India; he was the son of a British Army captain of Irish descent and an English mother.

In addition to being a wonderful comic performer, probably best known for his work with the Goon Show, he was also a successful writer, poet, playwright, and actor.

Though he spent much of his early life in India, the majority of his adult life was spent in the United Kingdom.

However, when the Commonwealth Immigrants Act removed Indian-born Milligan’s automatic right to British citizenship in 1962, despite his service in the British Army and his father’s, he became an Irish citizen, exercising a right conferred through his Irish-born father.

I think he was a genuinely funny man, and to prove it, here are 15 of his razor-sharp quips. Enjoy them all.

Quotes by Spike Milligan:

  1. All men are cremated equal. ~Spike Milligan
  2. All I ask is the chance to prove that money can’t make me happy. ~Spike Milligan
  3. I thought I’d begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine. ~Spike Milligan
  4. Are you going to come quietly, or do I have to use earplugs? ~Spike Milligan
  5. Money couldn’t buy friends, but you get a better class of enemy. ~Spike Milligan
  6. I’m a hero with coward’s legs. ~Spike Milligan
  7. How long was I in the army? Five-foot eleven. ~Spike Milligan
  8. I turned and rubbed my hands with glee. I always keep a tin of glee handy. ~Spike Milligan
  9. I’m not afraid of dying, I just don’t want to be there when it happens. ~Spike Milligan
  10. Contraceptives should be used on every conceivable occasion. ~Spike Milligan
  11. Life is a long agonized illness only curable by death. ~Spike Milligan
  12. I can speak Esperanto like a native. ~Spike Milligan
  13. A bird in The Strand is worth two in Shepherd’s Bush. ~Spike Milligan
  14. A family man from Siberia; As a father was very inferior; But one operation; Revised the situation; And now he’s Mother Superior. ~Spike Milligan
  15. And God said, ‘Let there be light’ and there was light, but the Electricity Board said He would have to wait until Thursday to be connected. ~Spike Milligan

In doing so, I’m hoping it’ll get you thinking about, and perhaps even participating in, something that rules our lives but isn’t given anywhere near the scrutiny it merits.

Politicians on all sides frequently take us all for fools, and the sad thing is we let them. That must change, surely?

They do what they do because they know that they can get away with it, at least most of the time.

It’s time we all let them know that we’ll not allow them to get away with it anymore.

Politics has become nothing more than show business for people who lack both talent and an engaging personality. And yet, they all seem to get rich without adding any real value to our lives at all.

So, let your local politician know that you’ve got your eye on them and you won’t be putting up with any nonsense.
