At some point in my early adult life things were stagnant. I went to work everyday, lived with my parents at home and every once in a while I would go out with friends - usually for a trip to the cinema. There was no relationship, no ambition, nothing except a savings account that got … Continue reading My Worst Year
All The Past Mistakes
Of all the past mistakes I have made in my life, I don't regret a single one because if I hadn't made them I wouldn't be who I am today. Don't live life with regrets, dwelling on mistakes or failures. The past is the past - so learn from mistakes and move on. The only … Continue reading All The Past Mistakes
My Own World
I had finished University and I thought "What do I want to do with my life?" I decided that I wanted to help people and took on a voluntary job for an environmental charity. It was interesting to see how unorganised the voluntary sector was. My job title where I 'worked' was called 'Campaign Officer' … Continue reading My Own World
Small Challenges – Big Achievement
Look at the picture below - what do you see? Curtains? A rather empty looking room? To me - I see achievement. See I have always considered myself a 'thinker' so when I moved into my new house one of the biggest things I was dreading was having to do small bits of DIY. In my … Continue reading Small Challenges – Big Achievement
All The Small Things
It was exactly 10 months ago today that I started the job that, for the first time gave me hope I had a career. Although my job was relatively small and I got stuck with a lot of the crap jobs, I was eager to prove myself to get ahead in a project management office. … Continue reading All The Small Things
I Can And I Will – Watch Me (Part 2)
Did I mention I got promoted? (As I set out in my goal/system... whatever) It was funny because my assigned mentor had done a lot to protect my confidence. "Don't worry if you don't get shortlisted, jobs at that level have a lot of applicants." Soon after I got shortlisted. "Don't worry if you don't … Continue reading I Can And I Will – Watch Me (Part 2)
200 Posts Later… My Secret Is Out…
As I write this to mark my 200th post it seems fitting that as I sat in my new home the other day, the 'missus' quiet casually brings my blog into conversation. For those who are not aware - this blog is not something that the people in my real life are aware of. Its … Continue reading 200 Posts Later… My Secret Is Out…
A Man Of Many Talents
This year I made a cake for my birthday. Being aware of many of the activities I do (many of which I highlight in this blog). Someone remarked "You're a man of many talents" I guess I am. But the reason I am is because I make the effort to apply myself and try. I … Continue reading A Man Of Many Talents
Sorry About That…
I really think we say sorry too much. If I clash with someone coming out of the gents as I am going in 9 times out of 10 I hear "oh sorry..." Why do you need to be sorry? Isn't excuse me a more appropriate word? I couldn't help but think we say sorry too … Continue reading Sorry About That…
Unlucky For Some…
I play bingo - no lie. Nearly every Friday for the last six month I go down to the local working men's club and play four rounds of bingo. I haven't won that cash prize once. Logically I struggle to understand why some regulars win it more than others. They are there pretty much every week … Continue reading Unlucky For Some…
Back to the gym (take 2)
I really tried to make the gym I joined in April work. But it just never right and I never developed a steady routine. It was always difficult getting to it after work and it was always a problem getting stuck in rush hour work traffic if I went in the morning. My life has … Continue reading Back to the gym (take 2)

One of the key elements of my 'Money' system is to move up the career ladder Recently I have had the opportunity to fill in for a senior member of staff who has been on long term sick. As I was covering a large part of their duties, I viewed this as an opportunity to … Continue reading Money vs Happiness
