Question of the Month

Welcome to today’s post where I pose a question for you to think about and answer for yourself – I also provide you with my own answer.

This month’s question for you to reflect on is:

When you’re feeling a little low, what one thing can you think about that will instantly uplift your mood?

My Answer:

There is one little sweet memory that always makes me smile and instantly uplifts my mood, it’s when I think of my little 2 year old niece Carmen, I just love her, she is so cute and has this beautiful little smile. I specifically think of a time when she was sitting in her mum’s car and I turned up unexpectedly….she shouted “Auntie Claire” and gave the biggest smile ever, I just knew she was so happy to see me…..it felt so loving and wonderful. So if life is ever getting to me, I just think of her, in that moment, smiling at me. Even right now I am much happier for thinking about it.

Another Curve Ball

We must never think that we know it all, never, because just around the corner is always another lesson, yes indeed, here comes another curve ball – oh my where did that come from?

My day to day interaction with people is usually 100% good almost all of the time, mainly because I genuinely do love people and I have a lot of time for them. Recently though, I feel I have slipped up, just a little bit, but it doesn’t matter I have still slipped up, but the good thing is I am fully of aware of it, almost instantly and that I feel is tremendous progress. If I was unaware of it, then that indeed, I believe would be much more dangerous, especially with the job I am in, working with people every day.

Please don’t get me wrong, I have never thought I have known it all, never ever ever so I just want to reiterate that but I guess I have let emotions rule the roost and take over……never a good response that one. I read a quote recently and it said “If you speak when you’re angry, you’ll make the best speech you’ll ever regret” – such wise words and so very true indeed.

So I guess I am owning up to not getting it right all of the time, I guess I really am human after all hahahahahahah. These types of life lessons you cannot learn in a classroom or on a training course, these are the true lessons from life itself – the experiences from the experience of life.

So as I have let my conscience loose into this world i.e. this Blog, it leaves me with a sober thought of, “things can only get better” for indeed I have learned from this and I am getting better. I will continue to develop on this journey of life to reach my Best Ever Self.….some how though, I feel this is a never ending journey – not in a bad way, I believe in such a good way, always learning, always giving and always loving.

So I will leave you with my final thoughts on this one:
