Mindful Wisdom Note: Do You Tiptoe, Dance, Fly or Stomp? So what was your answer? Is it a mixture of those things, one or two or just one? Does it matter anyway? Is there any right or wrong answer? You’ll probably have guessed this already. It all depends on you doesn’t it? But we can of course alter any of those at will if you choose to. We come this way but once. We can either tiptoe through life and hope we get to death without being badly bruised or we can live a full, complete life achieving our goals…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Above All Else Keep On Moving…. When you are not sure it can be poignant to wait, ponder and surely a signal will appear hinting at the next step or possible options you could take. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” – Dale Carnegie Sometimes though when debating or deliberating too intently or not at all we can remain immobile, some could even be too afraid to choose or move at all. No matter…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Don’t Worry You Have Your Indomitable Spirit On Your Side. That the birds of worry and care fly over you head, this you cannot change, but that they build nests in your hair, this you can prevent.”  – Chinese Proverb Remember at the toughest times, the darkest hours, those mundane moments and in the times when it is tempting to do so. Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy.” – Leo Buscaglia To worry not, worrying is of no constructive use of your energy and power. Worrying alone will not…

Why The World Needs You To Be A Leader Today  ‘You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step’. Martin Luther King, Jr. You can’t really start this topic without looking at someone who lived, breathed and died leadership to get some perspective on this subject. This is not to say we should all have to die for the cause but what we need to understand is that you need to lead and you need to do it now, not tomorrow or the following week. Whether that be lead yourself or others you just need to…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Raindrops Keep Falling It’s April and here in the UK at least, we are having lots of April showers! The rain has such a different effect on many living things including people. As you watch you can glean a lot about attitudes and characters. We take it as a given that the plants and the Earth need the water, they have to have the rain in order to survive, thrive and then blossom in the Summer and of course live all year round. So from that perspective the April showers can only be a good thing. A…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Out Of Approximately 250,000 How Many Of Them Do You Think You Are You Using? The ‘English’ language has very approximately 250,000 words in it, according to the Oxford English Dictionary source. Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow.” – Anthony J. D’Angelo This includes words we still use today and some that we don’t. The ones we don’t count for as high as 20% of all obsolete words.  As English is used so widely around the world, there are lots of different spellings, alterations, amalgamations from lots of other…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Are You Good At Being You? Does that sound a smidge irregular? Well let’s think on. We might think that of course we are us, after all we all wake up as ourselves, go  through the day nad then go to sleep the same person so surely this is the real us? Man’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.” – Carl Jung Actually and factually speaking, we aren’t always being our true honest pure self at all times at all. Mainly because we have been socialized to behave in…

Why Using Time Management Wisely Is The Key To Being Happy The topic of time is a fascinating one because when you watch the world and the people in it, everyone uses their equal portion of time differently and the result they get from their time differs as much individually as they do. Being one of those time obsessed people – as it’s the same as water, I hate waste. It’s such a precious commodity that the front of our former Martial Arts school had the worlds emblazoned ‘Time is precious – use it wisely’ as you would hope that…

Mindful Wisdom Note: What Happens When You Imagine? It should be compulsory shouldn’t it? Every day, time out for a little imagination or a lot! Using your mind in this way is like an aerobic workout. You need to use those brain cells, push and pull them, incite them in to doing something new, different or awkward. We cannot continue to improve if we stay the same? We can only make those incremental ascending steps with some working out of the mind. Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.” – Albert Einstein You could for example…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Excitement Is That The Answer? When we truly want to do something we become energised, motivated, inspired, excited and actually eager to do it. Conversely, when we really don’t want to do something we suddenly become tired, listless, bored and can find all the reasons in the world why we can’t actually do it. So when we want find out whether we should intuitively be doing something or not, or whether we should say yes to a project, an outing or similar then just test your inner response. Does the idea of something make you feel energised…

Mindful Wisdom Note: Insane In The Membrane? Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.” – Albert Einstein That has got to be one of my favourite quotes for several reasons. For one don’t you just find that you do this at times? I find that rather funny. It is like watching a child doing something that you know isn’t going to work but they don’t until they have made several attempts just to make sure. And that’s the key isn’t it? We like to double check or just make sure that this thing isn’t…
