"Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever."

Alter Egos.........
Everyone has the power of greatness. Not for fame, but greatness. Because greatness is determined by service.~Martin Luther King
I love this quote as it reminds us that we all have the ability to become great at everything we do. However the fire of greatness won't be lit inside you unless you can set it alight......
So how do you go about doing that then? Its really simple you will be pleased to hear!!!
Firstly decide on what it is you want to be great at or what in your life you want to be great (now you really have to think hard about this and make sure that it something that you have an unwavering conviction that you can achieve it) This is where a vision board comes in......
Then.....are you ready for this.......take INSPIRED ACTION......NOW........do something, no matter how small it is, to move you one step towards being great.......
The next step to keep you on the path to greatness is to link massive pleasure to taking your inspired action.......if it is to lose weight, imagine how it will feel to fit into those jeans you have never been able to get into......imagine how you will feel when you fit into your wetsuit without showing all your wobbly bits.........
People normally do things for two main reasons, either in the avoidance of pain or the gain of pleasure.......decide on what motivates you more
Everyone one of us has bigger person waiting to poked, pushed and prodded into action, a person that has the brilliance of mind and radiance of personality to think of new ideas, seize on new opportunities and achieve huge things....it is amazing when that person is awoken from its slumber and put into action.....it amazing what you will achieve....this person holds the fire that you need to succeed...
So what are you going to do today to wake up your alter ego?

Quote.....
You've got to get up every morning with a smile on your face and show the world all the love in your heart. Then people are going to treat you better. You're going to find, yes you will, that you're beautiful as you feel. -Carole King

Even in the tough times......
we should always make a big effort to spend time with the people that mean the most to us in our lives. The people that support you when the going gets tough, those people that love you unconditionally......
One idea that I have used with my partner is to create a date box.....this has given us a source of fun, memories and excitement each week to look forward to. The premise is simple and is a fantastic way to make sure you do something with your girlfriend/boyfriend, family, friends or by yourself.
Now this is where I go all Blue Peter on you.....firstly get yourself a medium size box (a shoe box will be excellent). Then decorate the box as you see fit (we have put gold wrapping paper round ours). Then label the box....i.e. Cath and Dave's date box or the Davies Family Box of Fun!...or something along those lines.
Then get as many pieces of paper as you like and each person writes as many activities as they can and puts them in the box. They can be simple things like going for a country walk, going to the pub for a drink or as different as going to the Museum of Science and Industry or going Salsa dancing.
Take it in turns to pick an idea out of the box and make sure you stick to them. Make them fun and remember the reason you are doing it.......
In a world where it is very easy to suffer from the doom and gloom disease, make your life and the life of your significant others a better place to be by making it different and fun together....
Happy date box making.......
