Feel Good Friday

It's here!The last Feel Good of 2016 and as I write this and reflect over the year we've had (and what a year it's been) I write this with excitement for what the future holds not just for me but for each and every one of you.We don't know what the future holds and that's exciting because it's our duty to mould it into the future we want for ourselves.Dreams, ambitions, goals they are all the building blocks of success. Your own success. If it's one thing that I want you to take away into 2017…See More

Feel Good Friday

For my penultimate Feel Good I've chosen to do it a bit didferent and post it later as it's my final one before Christmas and many people will be on thier way home tonight so I thought they could read it this evening.Well we're here. Christmas time. And what better than to be around loved ones during the festive period. Christmas dinners, presents, mistletoe too but amongst all that I feel there is a greater message. It's not about the amount of presents you have, or how much it all costs as…See More

What a year 2016 has been and it's only 3 weeks of it left!Christmas will be here tomorrow and we'll be toasting in the new year straight after.A lot has happened this year and in some cases it has made us anxious for the future.But who knows what the future will hold.“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” - Alan KayYou can't just sit around thinking about your dreams and goals, you have to go out there and make them happen.

To start off this weeks Feel Good I want to take a moment to reflect and remember players and staff of the Brazilian football team - Chapecoense who tragically lost their lives this week in a plane crash.It really drums home how short life can be and how precious life can be.With that in mind it really highlighted how your dreams and ambitions can forge your path in life. Can help make you who you are meant to be. Because who knows what may happen in the future so why not live for now!what not…See More

As we go through life we are faced with many challenges but equally we will have many triumphs.We are all unique and powerful because simply put we have the ability to make our own decisions and follow our own paths.That's why this week I want to put a big emphasis on individuality.You are the designer of your destiny; you are the author of your story.” — Lisa NicholsSimply put YOU are the one who holds the power in your lives. You are the one who chooses which path to walk on as you embark on…See More

It's funny how a few days away can really kick start your batteries espeacially When the world feels like an apocalypse could happen any minute now.i went to land where dreams are made a.k.a Disneyland and I really saw and felt that it doesn't matter what age you are, Disney is universal. It's for everyone. And why might you ask? It's because it's so magical and so uplifting you truly believe anything is possible.'All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them' - Walt…See More

Do we play everything in life safe?Or do we take risks?Are we partial to take the easy route or to dig down and get stuck in?I think that to achieve success and follow our dreams we set out, we have to take risks.It's as simple as that.'A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new' – Albert EinsteinThroughout life we are going to make mistakes. It's inevitable. As I always say.. we are human after all.You can't go through life replaying the same choices and decisions day in, day…See More

The theme of this weeks Feel Good is belief.Belief is such a powerful attribute to have and can hugely help throughout life as we embark on this crazy journey.Self belief, believing in others, having others believe in you. It all helps!Dreams and success doesn't happen overnight as I have previously said. It takes hard work and determination but also self belief. You have to believe you can accomplish what you set out to do otherwise what is the point!Believe you can and you’re halfway there.…See More

Whoever said that doing what you want to do was easy? NO-ONEWhy?Because to follow ones dreams, and to succeed in what you wish to do is not easy. It takes hard work, determination and a lot more.Are these things achievable? I believe them to be.As I always say all you need is belief. Belief in yourself and you're half way there.Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. –Anais NinNow I'm not going to lie we all have our battles that we are facing (we wouldn't be human if we didn't)…See More

This week for me is fairly simple.Another year has passed and another birthday gone. Time goes by so quickly.My sister would've been 26 this week just gone but she passed away at 3 months old.And whilst I don't speak that much about her, the message and quote I found this week is clear as day!"Life is short, and it’s up to you to make it sweet.” – Sadie DelanyLife is indeed short. Wether you live 3 months or 90 years. In the grand scheme of things it's short and the world will keep spinning…See More

A lot can happen in one weekLet alone one month, or one year.Time cannot be reversed. It only goes forward. Minute by minute, day by day.The reason I mention this is because you may think you can't achieve much in such a small amount of time. I disagree!You can change the world in a week with passion, desire and determination.You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try. –Beverly SillsI believe fear holds a lot of us back from fully going for something, or trying to…See More

This week following on from last weeks blog about dreams I have been lucky enough to have Paralympian and Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson give me a quote that has inspired her since she was little. The quote is her motto and it was given to her by her grandad.'Aim high even if you hit a cabbage' - Tanni Grey-ThompsonNow she has no idea where it came from but he always used to tell her never be afraid to try.Myself, I got from the quote that throughout life we all have goals and dreams that we aim…See More

As we go through our lives day by day a lot can happen and pass us by. lately I've got into a habit of reflecting on what I've done. Time is short and although 80 - 90 years may seem like a lifetime when I think that the universe is billions of years old, a lifetime will pass us by.'During your life, never stop dreaming. No one can take away your dreams' - Tupac ShakurNow Tupacs life was tragically cut short but like each and every one of us he had dreams and ambitions which I'm sure he strived…See More

Many thanks for your message - and yes, of course I remember meeting you at the Sherman, with Beth. I'm not currently in production with anything - I seem to be working for lots of other people at the moment, mostly in the role of 'mentor'.... however, I will certainly keep you in mind when I'm next developing something of my own. Meanwhile, all the very best for your own projects - x
