Things to do before you die

While I was at the dance eisteddfod i got a book out of the library that I was reading just for fun. "Things to do before you die"

It gave me great ideas of things to aim for

• learn another language
• visit famous places
• see the aurora borealis
• drive on a race track

It gave me idea on things that I don't want to do

and want is amazing that some of the the things they suggested - I have actually done

• milked a cow
• scuba dive
• spend a night watching ballet
• read the children's classical novels
• make a sandcastle

This little diversion has given me a push to achieve more goals. Some small, some big and some fun and interesting.

We often have a long list of work related goals and most of them have many steps but I have decided to include some fun little goals to live a little and maybe I can use them as rewards for achieving the big serious work related goals

What fun goals do you want to achieve?

Until next time

Negative thoughts are learnings

Donald Latumahina has a useful post today about negative thoughts. He lists 20 tips to defeat negative thoughts mostly based on this principle.

I always think that I am a very positive person. But occasionally I do find that am my own harshest Critic.

So Point 1 - Realize that you only hurt yourself with negative thoughts. Is worth reminding me.

Point 4 - Read positive quotes - My favourite quote are send to me via email 5 days a week from Inspire your day. Always uplifting and inspiring.

I key is to turn negative thoughts in learning experiences to grow into a more positive person that I want to be.
