Dust If You Must!

“A house becomes a home when you can write, “I love you” on the furniture.”


I can’t tell you how many countless hours that I have spent CLEANING!


I used to spend at least 8 hours every weekend making sure things were just perfect – “in case someone came over.”


Then I realised one day that no one came over; they were all out living life and having fun!


Now, when people visit, I find no need to explain the “condition” of my home. They are more interested in hearing about the things I’ve been doing while I was away living life and having fun.

If you haven’t figured this out yet, please heed this advice.


Life is short. Enjoy it.


Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need?


Dust if you must, but there’s not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead.


Dust if you must, but the world’s out there with the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, a flutter of snow, a shower of rain.


This day will not come around again.


Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it’s not kind.


And when you go – and go you must – you, yourself will make more dust!


If’s now what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.

You Can Be In Control - Part 2

How have you gone the last couple of weeks? Have you taken note of the times you have not been in control?

Have you considered how you reacted to different situations and recognised the times when you could have reacted differently?

Have you tried to stop yourself when others are trying to take control?

Here are the steps!

Making the choice to be in control can be empowering you only need to control yourself.

> Recognise that you have the power to choose how you react to a situation

> Recognise when you are not taking responsibility for your life

> Practise stopping yourself when you are letting others control you and take responsibility

This is a new behaviour so practise is really important. But keep practicing.
