Homespun Advice

Where you are now is where you have put yourself. Every human being is responsible for his or her own personal space and happiness in life. You must be prepared to take responsibility for yourself and, most definitely, your actions.

Never, under any circumstances, allow other people, governments or institutions of any description to do your thinking for you. Be proud that you do it for yourself. Be accountable. Stand proud and tall. Always check out the facts. Never take anything on face value - it is the essence of personal responsibility. "I'll check that out and get back to you" will become your anthem. The world is full of trickery and fraud.

Learn to live within your means. However hard it may be it is the only life that can set you financially free and lead to you becoming a truly free person. Debt is bondage. I'm sorry to appear boring and oh so old fashioned, but the truth is - if you want something - teach yourself to save up first, purchase second. The only real exception would be a home. My advice in this case is to buy a small easily affordable one. Remember, it is the people inside that make a house a home.

Live your life. Truly live your life as if each day was your last. Be brave. Have a go. Try. Become a hero to yourself. Be the best you can possibly be. Strive. Step out. Stand out for all the right reasons. It may appear at times as if life is trying ever so hard to beat you down. Learn to treat it as a challenge - a challenge that of course you can and will overcome.

You are unique in all the universe of universes. In all existence there is none other, nor has there ever been, nor will there ever be, another being the same as you. You are eternal. You are a spirit entity clothed in human form. You are the very stuff of God. You are here to experience life in the flesh in all it's many and varied dimensions. You life has purpose even if you are not currently fully appreciative of it.

Treat yourself with the respect you deserve. Love yourself - for only by genuinely loving yourself can you also love others. Love is just another word for the all encompassing primal energy from which all things are made. By being in the vibration of love we bring ourselves into vibrational harmony with all creation. In so doing our lives change for the better. We up-step ourselves.

Be persistent. Persistence is really the key to success. It always has been and always will be. If you really want to achieve something - you will - as long as you persist and believe. Learn to break large tasks down into small easily achievable tasks and the desired result will be yours for the taking. You can become, achieve or be, absolutely anything you desire, as long as you are prepared to persist. Success is always within your grasp.

Dreams and goals. They are a must. Without them nothing happens. I'll just repeat that. Dreams and goals - they are a must - without them nothing happens. With them everything happens. Now re-read the previous paragraph.

Live your life in a constant spirit of gratitude. Give thanks for both the good and the bad. Every cloud has a silver lining. Every disappointment carries with it the seed of an even greater opportunity. Grab with gratitude the opportunities that are always coming your way for life is chock full of them if you will just watch for them in a spirit of expectation. Give thanks.

No matter what anyone may tell you or how you may feel - you have a right to be here - this is your world too.

A Quote for you: "Man is made or unmade by himself.....In the armoury of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace. By the right choice and true application of thought, man ascends to the Divine perfection; by the abuse and wrong application of thought, he descends below the level of the beast. Between these two extremes are all the grades of character, and man is their maker and master." - James Allen "As A Man Thinketh"
