"They say, ‘Good things come to people who wait.’ They don’t, though, say how good those things will actually be or how long they will have to wait for them. Why are they so vague? Are they trying to hide something? Might the phrase be a ploy to lull us into a false sense of security, while others rush out and get those good things before us? I’m not trying to worry you! I’m just suggesting the need to question a recent decision to postpone a key plan. Why must it be put off?"

Life is not just a bowl of cherries. It is also a bunch of coconuts. There are some that are ripe and sweet, others that have yet to reach the peak of their potential. It's a shame to throw away all the cherries, just because you have stumbled across a sour one. Likewise,to assume that all coconuts are inedible just because you found a sorry specimen. Would you like me to keep on labouring my point or do you take it? life, for you is about to become a lot more fruitful.

It may seem like a short while since you last sat to reconsider and re-evaluate everything. but that is the nature of change. Once it starts, it tends to carry on. The more it does, though, the more you find that yesterday's big, final decision, was simply your way of reaching a "holding position". Your old holding position now needs to be replaced by a new one. And that's fine. sorta like a loop-the- loop, you're reviewing a review! You're also gaining real motivation, discovering genuine opportunities and deepening an emotional bond with yourself

"What do you want? Who do you want it from? What makes you think you’ll get it there? Sometimes, when we are really hungry, we enthusiastically devour the most dubious foods. If it’s all that’s available, then as long as it’s edible, our appetite will turn it into a feast. We’ll even develop a fond memory of the fulfilment we felt. We’ll forget that the satisfaction only came because we were so desperate. We’ll hanker after that dish again. If that’s true of food, it’s also true of our hunger for emotional gratification. Make the most of what you can have, by all means. But first check you can’t have something far better!”

What's your time worth? What's your energy worth? And what value do you place on your own peace of mind? It's strange how often we put ourselves through situations that are uncomfortable. We feel, somehow, that our own well being can be sacrificed, as long as we're saving money, or doing what others expect of us, or serving some good cause. And maybe we can. Yet when a compromise goes too far, it becomes a sacrifice. Only martyrs and masochists make sacrifices. A high standard is worth holding out for

"If we sleep in the same position, night after night, we eventually ….make…….an impression on even the most resilient mattress. Once it stops bouncing back, we can then only get comfortable in one position. You might think that this would encourage us to get a replacement. We tend not to want to, though. We worry that we may not know how to lie on the new bed in a way that will support us. Don’t cling to a part of the past that is now the wrong shape for you. The only change that’s on its way now is change you need!"
