Is the glass half full, or half empty? A simple little question really, but how you answer that question may give you valuable insight into your present circumstances in life. Most everyone at some point has been told by their friends or loved ones to "think positive." But why are we told that, and does it really impact our life?What You Focus On, ExpandsThe benefits of positive thinking should be clear. When you display a positive and upbeat...more
At times we spend a lot of time worrying about all the things that are going wrong in our lives and in the process we forget to take the time to thank God for all the great things that are going right in our lives. We have so many things to be thankful for and yet we choose to spend much of our time focusing on the negative. We focus so much on the challenges that life has thrown our way and don't pay any attention to the many blessings.As...more
Positive affirmations may not be something you have given much thought to in the past. But, whenever you think, you are affirming! Whenever you listening to your inner self talk you are affirming! On a daily, even hourly basis, you are continually affirming to your subconscious thoughts that will eventually become your beliefs. Your subconscious mind has taken these beliefs, ever since your childhood days, and developed them into the person you are today! Working on autopilot, your subconscious will react to any given situation in accordance to how it has been programmed by your thoughts and beliefs. In other words your affirmations. This can of course be very usefull, you don't need to constantly stick your hand in a fire to know you will get burnt. You learnt this early on and your subconscious stored this information, so you don't have to keep re-learning it. That's all very well and good! But, what about other bits of information your subconscious stored that are no longer in your best interest. You may have programmed your subconscious with information that is actually working against you now! Beliefs relating to money, health, your self esteem etc. Is there a...more

With an increasing number of vehicles traversing the highways of the world a higher degree of driving confidence is required to enable one to step out of their usual comfort zone. To drive on an unfamiliar road can be very daunting to many a driver. Roads and road systems can be very different from one side of a town to another let alone between different countries or continents.I am very aware of this reality as I regularly drive in both the UK and California. Driving in the UK varies a lot. On the Isle of Man, roads are generally small and relatively free of traffic; there are no caravans and few articulated vehicles. But, and this is a big BUT, there are a lot of tiny roundabouts; the ones I mean are those that are denoted simply by a white circle painted on the tarmac. I know many a visitor whose driving confidence has completely escaped them when faced with one of these little roundabouts which we locals find far less daunting. In the UK in general there is also no intuitive aspect to road directions, in contrast with many American roads which run upon a grid system. Whereas roundabouts can be the nemesis to some, four way junctions, seven lane highways or carpool...more
