Feel great - invigorate!

See now, that's what I've been bumbling on about.

Today I had a wonderful drive in the country, enjoying the blue skies and the stereo.
I had two really good interviews with candidates that should be successful if I can just get the client to meet them.
I had a nice light lunch
I've had a productive and thought provoking afternoon with some great discussion
I may have solutions to a couple of my existing challenges

Is this all because the sun is out?

I think not.

Certainly the weather helps to lighten ones mood but what's really at play here is the emotions and the affect they have on our activity and our desire.

I say again, in order to achieve we must first of all think right and behave right - I wholeheartedly agree with Tony Robbins who amongst others champions the idea that our action feeds our emotion and our emotion colours our resulting decisions.

How was your day?

Blimey the suns out!

And on top of that, a few more positive things have occurred, in fact I might even go so far as saying today has so far been reasonably useful.

Not quite the same as 'This has been a GREAT day!' I suppose but useful nevertheless.

It occurs to me that even in my somewhat enlightened state of mind, I am still not quite able to pull off that buddhist trick of total peace, calm and tranquility and great joy just because i'm alive - every day.

I'm not suggesting we should all take up buddhism you understand, just that their ideal is somewhat difficult for most of the rest of the humans on the planet to master.

I wonder if we can leverage moments of peace and tranquility at will the rest of the time?

I can - can you?

Raining again

Yes really, it is raining again - it really does seem unrelenting at the moment.

I saw on the news this morning that across the rest of Europe there are many places with the reverse problem, too much heat - forest fires all over the place.

Made me think once again that it all depends on ones perception of the current environment as to how your mood goes and how your emotions come into play.

What am I on about? Well here at the moment a lot of us are thinking wouldn't it be nice to jet off to the sun of Spain and bask there in the suns golden rays, blue skies, light breeze, cool drink etc. and yet in Spain and Greece, they are well and truly fed up of the stupid sunshine and are praying for rain - they would be exstatic if they suddenly had our downpour.

Yet another point that can be used to work on life's dull moments - we can choose to be miserable or choose to find fortune in any situaton.

Could always be worse....

Actively being active

Is what it feels like at the moment. It's almost as though the motions are indeed going through but I dont see the end result arriving anytime soon.

Hence the blog, the articles, the marketplace ads. At least if I'm actively doing more of the stuff I should be doing, I might actually see some benefit at some point?

The Utilities Warehouse stuff should take off soon with my team easily outperforming me at the moment. No matter, when I do catch them up at least the majority of the work will have already been done.

Must talk to the upline and get some more ideas.

Emotionally intelligent teens

Are something I have yet to find - I think it's a development thing, they simply haven't developed enough to think about much past their own immediate needs.
Of more challenge to me is the fact that I do have emotional intelligence and I ought to be able to employ it when dealing with teenagers as discussed here

I just seem incapable of doing it though.

How do the rest of you get on with snotty teens who think they know everything when it's apparent to the rest of the world they know very little?

Is time flying for you?

Sometimes life just seems to trundle by and no matter what you do, nothing seems to make it go any faster.

Sometimes of course you'd rather the pace was slower, or even better still, stop the world please I want to get off.

So what's your world like today?

If you're in the midlands or the Severn/Avon Valley I suspect life has become very slow indeed but then, you wont be reading this as there's no power.

We were flooded ourselves last friday and our temporary office accommodation, whilst welcome, just doesn't feel the same.

Too quiet, too big, too 'not ours'.
