Enough about me, what did you think of me?

I had a beautiful message yesterday, from someone I sent my (soon to be ready for public consumption!) free ebook to. She basically said she thought I was amazing, filled me with confidence and joy that something I wrote had such an impact. And her encouragement had a wonderful impact on me. I am keeping that message, and I am going to watch it often.

Putting myself down and telling myself I am rubbish comes easily, but building myself up in the way this message did is a little harder - especially if I'm having a bad day! I wonder if you realise the impact of a compliment on someone else? Here, let's try this one - I can see that you are an intelligent person with impeccable taste, because you are reading my blog!

Feel good? Seriously, compliments can change the course of a person's life. Next time you feel that someone is wonderful, say it. I promise that the good stuff will come back to you tenfold!

What would You Do?

If feeling good is the only mark of life, what would you do now?

It doesn't matter

OH MY GOD! I'm still not feeling 100%...it doesn't matter.
I didn't do all the housework today...it doesn't matter.
I didn't do everything I wanted to do workwise today...it doesn't matter.
I didn't go to the gym today...it doesn't matter.
I haven't taken over the world today...it doesn't matter.

Why doesn't it matter? Because none of this is life shattering! It is only my expectations that I 'should' have perfect health all the time (insane!), have a sparkling house (never gonna happen!), finish every work 'thing' I ever thought of (yeah, right!), go to the gym every day (unrealistic...and unwanted!), take over the world (like I'd want that responsibility?!). So what does matter?

Only that you feel good. Life is here to enjoy - most of the stuff we get stressed about DOESN'T MATTER! Feeling good, now that's important!
