On reflecting on this trip… life and things are only temporary- we as people also are temporary. We only have one life here, we think we are invincible sometimes but if one thing in our perfect world is taken away - it often can cause it to shake s bit, whether it’s a job, health, partner, cash flow, etc. some things in life are just unavoidable and shit happens we know this, we been here before - however, if you can help avoid disturbances to you peace do so. How you say?
Well, do things that keep your spouse and kids happy.
Actively do well at work, ask for guidance, training, supervision, support, rely on trusted colleagues, seek a mentor, pick other people’s brains, etc etc
Cash flow, utilise varied earning streams, never have your eggs in one basket, a financial advisor, a better accountant, pension advisor, take on another side hustle. Switch off on your time off.
Health, sometimes our health is genetic, and shit happens but, we can always do more to live better, reduce the booze, sugar. Move more, join a gym, class, grab a mate and have a Sunday morning session.
This is just me rambling on in my morning coffee to try maybe spark something in you. To get you to think at least outside the day to day.
I look at my mom and step dad and they are getting old, they’ll be a day I won’t hear my mom laugh. It almost makes me want to cry it makes me so upset. That’s life though, you live it to the fullest - you embrace every single day and say thank you.
Often our mindset can go into trauma mode, negativity, and that can be an endless path to who knows where. Chemical and hormonal imbalances can really impact on a person, so this is why I tell you to seek help, if you can. Often waiting lists are very long, so the longer you leave it, the longer it’ll take for you to feel better. If you’re fortunate, use your private health care. It’s less expensive than most think. Invest in yourself because let me tell you on thing, no one else will. Think about it, who got you to this point in life? Who? YOU.
With a little help of a few, but it was you who got you here, you carried yourself in your darkest days, you carried yourself in the brightest days - you did that. So please, do not think for a second that you’re not in control of your life, because you are.
You really are. You have made it this far, sure you been knocked down a few times but, humans ste a resilient species- sometimes fragile, but resilient.
Want to live, really live, want to experience things, never put things off - I hear my parents still wanting, still dreaming, it’s good to dream folks, I do it too myself - I get lost in my own day dreams of what life could be - but are you and I doing anything to achieve it? I wonder.
It’s easy to get lost inside our own heads, it’s what I have been doing for the last 5 days searching within myself. The last few months, haven’t been easy, they fucking haven’t the more I think, the more angry I get, the more rage that fills inside me. So, what will I do with this rage that is inside me? Well, same thing I do every-time someone hurts me, use it as fuel to power on, to push through, to thrive and survive.
I’m not going to lie to you and say it’s been a breeze, you guys know the craic, fuck all is easy.
I’m still learning, I’m still growing, I’m still here. That’s the main thing.
How did the girl crying into her dog at 4am, wandering the lonely paths at 5am, turn it around? How did I go from screaming, “I don’t want to be alone” to, “I’m okay” - don’t get me wrong doubt is still very much in my head and great deal of imposter syndrome… how do you turn it around?
You want it, you want something, you rise above it, you use your negative emotions are fuel to spur you in your moments of darkness, loneliness, sadness and heartbreak. I’m not an expert, and I’m rambling - but seek professional help. I’m lucky I have an amazing counsellor who’s at the other end of my phone, used him twice - it’s all I needed but, I feel I need one more session, iron it all out.
One persons actions - can shape your whole entire life. This is true. Make sure you always look after number one as well. It’s easy to get blind sighted.
This can be your boss, your best mate, your lover.
This can be good or, bad so always think - if my life changed, what would I do. It’s ingrained in how I think now. As I said folks, sometimes in life thing are temporary - a season, a reason or a lifetime.
We are always continuing to learn no matter what we turn our hand too. Often people have dreams but, it’s too much effort for them that chase, and that’s really fucking sad. That something is just too much effort, especially if it’s achievable. Imagine. Change it folks, get hungry for life, get hungry for more, while appreciating the small things.
I know the direction I’m heading - question is… do you? If not, take 5 mins and write it down. Change your life as let me tell you one thing, it’ll not change for the good unless you do something about it. “Time waits for no man”
Irrelevant of wealth or power.
Life your best life
Never let any Cunt dull your sparkle ✨
