The good things in life

Sometimes it's all too easy to notice the bad things in life, when there are many more good things around us all the time. This week's quote reminds us to pay attention to the good things, rather than the bad ones.

"The bad things in life open your eyes to the good things
you weren't paying attention to before." From the movie Good Will hunting

Pay attention to the good things this week, at the time not after the event. Have a great week.

The important things in life

Last week I had a couple of interesting conversations with people about what's important in life. Often the important things are not what they first seem to be.

"Not everything that counts can be counted, and not
everything that can be counted counts." (Sign hanging in Einstein's office at
Princeton)

So remember to make space for the important things this week.
Have a great week.

Making mistakes

A client recently made some changes to her life that didn't work out quite as hoped; she wanted to go back and change some back, but felt too embarrased.

Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new - Albert Einstein

We thought about it some more and she did go back to amend some of the changes; to do so wasn't a problem.

Just plain daft

I thought it was time for a daft thought this week.
Do hungry time-travellers ever go back four seconds?
Have a great week,
