Nothing is futile

The truth about your calling with Seth Godin and Marie Forleo. https://youtu.be/AtfvZ_KOiZY


Homewares shop window in Munster, France.
Possibly buying stuff instead of doing stuff may be futile.





















Tip:
Be who you want to be in the world.
And the actions fall into place.
To get what you want.

The answer's not in the fridge.
The answer's not in homeware shops.

Impossible v I'm possible

Nobody told him that it was 
too cold to surf.
He decided it was possible 

to surf that day,
so he did.
If we truly want to access possibilities for ourselves, we should look to young children.

Maybe even younger than the lad in the photo.

Make allies of them.

And listen to them.

When I grow up I want to be an astronaut, says 3 year old who cannot even say astronaut.

She doesn't say, 'I want to be an astronaut if I'm good enough', or.... when the glass ceiling has dissolved, or.... yada yada yada.

Tip
What if there was only possibility and creation?
What if we simply took action?

Cool ideas from Alexandra Franzen.... again

Just follow the link.

It's got things like doing a course on a cruise boat, instead of a stuffy room.

Committing to writing hundreds of love letters.
My Camembert cheese to be.
Type E starter 

& white mould spores used.

Tip:
It's about action.
It's all about action.

Sea Change & Alexandra Franzen



A friend of a friend of a friend of mine, always puts the IF condition on her happiness statement.


e.g. I'd be sooooooooo happy IF I had a house by the sea ... the surf ... not just the bay.


Have you ever caught yourself doing that? I bet you're not happy after saying it!


Notice what happens when you turn it around.


e.g. It'd be really amazing if I could have a house by the surf. Fortunately, it is not required for happiness.


I don't know about you, but after I say that turnaround pair of sentences, I get a thought with a smile that goes something like this... 'O yeah, that's right, now what was I going to do?' I'm happy and I move on to DO something. Now that's gotta be good.


Your turn. Fill in the gap with your IF condition for happiness, then go DO something. And leave a comment below with your thoughts about it all.
