"Life is short and unpredictable. Eat the dessert first." Helen Keller. Not to be confused with the notion of eating ice cream and cakes, but rather to savour each moment and enjoy the richness of what we actually have. Too many suffer from burnout, stress and anxiety, only to end up depressed with life. This is not how it is supposed to be! We don't get to control outside influences on our lives, but we do have the ability to respond to them in a way that is healthy and beneficial for us. Life happens for us, not to us. We are not victims. We have the power to change things whenever we choose to, and the most effective change is within. Yes there's a lot of rubbish in the world, but that's because people allow it, tolerate it, and invite it in. Life is short, but it's also wonderful and exciting. Protect the health of your mind, heart and spirit. Don't get uptight with what others might be thinking of you...who cares? Stop wasting time with this negativity. Focus on what you must do and do it with all your strength. Don't Sweat The Small Stuff!
Cheers,
Andrew McLennan
