Had a wonderful holiday in Albufeira, Portugal. Lovely weather and an amazing place to go and be with good friends. Well worth a visit, if you have time. Back home now and about to give the whole life change a good go. Haven't made any progress on the long jump but might try it over the next few weeks. To be honest as I have said before it was more of a metaphor - illustrating what way my mind is thinking. I hope thats cleared up.


I came across an article a few mins ago whilst browsing the web on a poor guy in northern Ireland who has been given 3 months to live unless he receives a life saving operation that costs over 200,000 pounds. Again its made me realise how short life is and every opportunity must be grabbed with both hands.

Apologies

Apologies folks,

I haven't been on for a while, but not to worry - things may have been on hold for a while - but everything is about to take a decisive turn as today I begin the "big change" that will alter my path in life forever. I'm excited and elated and glad my decision is made. Suffice to say the break that I had has made my mind stronger and more determined to succeed than ever. Grasp every opportunity with both hands and make  the most of everything and anything positive that enters your life. Live every day like its your last.

Lets Begin....

Get out and do it!!!!!

Hi guys, I've been thinking again and have again become inspired, I think its time I showed you guys what im talking about when I say " anything is possible " Its actually true and I'm delighted that I have realised. If you put enough hard work into anything - serious blood, sweat and tears you are truly capable of almost anything in this world and to be honest I think ( I hadn't really realised up until now) this is where my blog is going.) Kind of similar to my 20 foot challenge Its just to show and prove to you guys that anything and everything is possible when you put the sacrifice in.

 Again I know I'm probably repeating myself from previous posts but I want you guys to be inspired by this. Read it AGAIN -- You can do it! believe in yourself. You can make the change / difference in your life, that thing that is holding you back, overcome it! Beat it! When your seventy years of age and you look back at yourself and you'll realise , yes I could have done it, why was I so afraid? Look how beautiful I was, look how fit/strong/energetic,hopeful,kind etc etc the list is endless. Im here to give you hope - after this challenge I will continue to challenge myself. You should try the same, join me in my quest to live life to the full. Here is a fantastic portion of a speech given by Jim Carey: Its excellent!

Now On Snapchat

I am now on snapchat - add me folks to get all the latest info on my daily routine, pics, videos and progress on my 20 foot jump challenge. Send me some feedback and let me know what you think. Cheers everyone, should have a pretty good post up sometime tomorrow on my activities for this coming week. All the best for now and please remember : Believe in Yourself!!

Where its come from

For a while now I have been threatening to change things, every couple of days or so I would find myself overcome with inspiration and say to myself " this is it" " I'm going to change my life from now" only to find myself not acting on my impulses, staying rooted to the ground , and carrying on with my usual Mundane routine. Nothing was happening, nothing was changing.. The inspiration wud appear for that moment and then disappear into the oblivion. This was where I wanted things to change, I wanted results, I wanted progress and to be able to track my progress. For this reason I set up the blog : an answer to my demons , the ones who didn't believe I could change, the same ones we all have. Now I could chart my progress, write about my feelings, my struggles, my demons, the times when we all can think :- is it possible ?? Well it IS possible - you just got to believe in yourself and believe that you have what it takes. It sounds like a cliché and I suppose it is, what I mean is - that your willing to have the courage to change, possibly the courage to tell people that your changing. Maybe consider a blog. I haven't actually went public with my blog yet - as in nobody knows who I am but that will come in time and I'm looking forward to that. I write in paragraphs and they don't seem to be working... Can anyone help me with this???

Stay on Track...

Hi There, Hope everyone is well and you are all thinking about (which is better than not thinking about) getting your life on track. It may think time to turn everything fully around but if you set this as one of your top goals, then you really will make that goal. Take charge of your destiny and stop rolling with what you've got. You can change things and do a lot better for yourself, it just takes a bit of determination and some positive thinking!! Be inspired, be successful, be popular, be kind and generous and inspire yourself which will in turn inspire those who come in contact with you. ( This is all Im doing )

What Else Am I Doing????

Part of being the new me has been to set a few challenges for myself so Im just going to give a short list: 1. I have decided to learn Spanish and I am using a great new app called Duolingo. Its pretty simple to use and you can set the amount of time you want to spend using it, so if you only want 10 mins a day then thats what you can do.

2. Im learning to play the banjo. My Late Mother gave me a banjo as a Christmas present some years ago and I had never really bothered with it. Maybe picked it up a few times a year and go at it for 4/5 weeks then forget about it for another few months. At the moment Im making a very concious effort to practice most days and attend lessons when I can. It is a truly magnificent instrument capable of such amazing sounds and notes!! I still marvel at the music that can be played and hope and believe that one day soon I will be able to do likewise. The goal I have set with the banjo entails meself travelling to a particular city in my country to spend an afternoon busking on a street. Really looking forward to this!!!!

3. I spoke of my Long Jump challenge in my last post but this is probably my most challenging as in, with the others I know I can overcome the odds and succeed if I put the work and dedication in, but this one I have never jumped in my life so Im not so sure if the target I've set myself is a little out of reach... I am a determined person however and I'm going to make it my business to give it a right good go. Im going to organise to give it my first shot next week, I shall see how much work I have ahead of me - so watch out next week for some updates.

4. Exercise daily, in the morning preferably, a combination of Gym Work and 10 mile run. This really is so important to me and will give me the zest and craving for the fit life I need. At the minute I go to the Gym and am reasonably fit but I intend to increase this gradually as the days and months progress. There is such a feel good factor in going for a decent run and the endorphins released in doing so is a Kin to getting an injection of "Feel Good Juice" - Trust me folks - any of you who have never run please go try it, dont say you cant your not fit, just do a small bit everyday even if you have to start off with walking briskly. Get on it. There are so many things for us to do out there: In life : and we can all do them dont forget: Embrace life, live it , love it, dont waste a single second of it and your attitude like mine must be "Yes Im able, Yes I can, Yes I will" There are so many more things to tell you all about but all in good time...

Im eager to hear from anyone reading my posts or anyone that has any questions for me. Dont forget I am exactly like you, I work, I worry, I sweat, I smell, lol and I shower but what Im saying is that Im just going for it. There are only obstacles in your way if you let them be in your way - you jump over them and you're on to the next one. Comment and give me some feedback, I'd be delighted to hear from you.... Bee
