The aftermath
The day was going well, it was 8th September 2022, I was on my way to Nottingham from Watford, having collected a few belongings from my storage place. All was good, had lunch with my mate Lauren and a new start was looming, but little did I know, it could’ve been the end of the line for me and possibly others.
Goal
Have you ever decided to do something because you want to achieve a goal, so you plan out how you will achieve it and get super excited do to it, even the planning element of how you will do it is meticulous. The excitement hits you; you may even share it with friends and family,…
Just be!
I recall after my brother died in 2013, I tried to push on through life, even the next day, I was in the gym at 6am looking to smash chest and back. Wanting a distraction and my space but also, some normality. There was nothing wrong with that – I just wanted ‘to be’. Fast…
Am I doing enough? Are you?
Do you ever scroll through Instagram, Facebook, any form of social media and doubt if you’re doing enough in life? Wonder if you are failing and not doing enough? Ok, be honest, if not with me then to yourself. I’ve been there before, mindlessly scrolling through Instagram thinking I’m not where I should be, or that I have failed in my job or that I am not lean enough or just a dam loser.
Outcomes and obstacles
Yesterday, July 1st 2022, I posted on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/CfdlsEpMTM0/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link) controllable situations. outcomes (below picture / text) and obstacles. How obstacles can at times be totally un-controllable but also navigating through these. Many times, having control over outcomes is far fetched and we can at times allow it to control our emotions and at times, our actions. We either stop and give up or keep taking our text step and find a way through, past, over or under the obstacles to achieve an outcome. Remember, there is always an outcome, sometimes just not the one we wanted.
