Mankind or Manhate??

We are all one human race. One species living and growing on the planet called Earth. Together we have evolved into people of great things. We have conquered the forests, the seas and skies and have now begun to reach out into space. We are mankind!

Yet how come we seem to loathe, despise, mistrust, kill, destroy and maim each other? We aren't mankind...we have become manhate!!

It's not that difficult to care about each other. Witness a natural disaster and see the human spirit combined into one loving, connected, positive force. And then witness it disappear again just as quickly as we divide and divide into a multitude of beliefs, standpoints, races, opinions and differences. The disasters, almost a hint from above at what we can achieve when we pull and care together, become a distant memory as the disasters within us take over.


You and I we're all the same. We want to love and be loved. We want peace and happiness. We want to be friends with everyone. We want a world full of our kind not our hate!! Imagine that!

A Good Bad Day

What do you class as a bad day? Your boss shouted at you? Lost a client maybe? Everyone seemed to have a short fuse and took it out on you? Well in some jobs that can mean the difference between life and death in every moment - See This!!


Certain people have a bad day every day. A life or death day every day. A day where saving a life or not losing their own is on the line all the time. Where a good day is when they make it to the end of it unscathed mentally, emotionally or physically. We have a hard day and we can soak in the bath, have a glass of wine, watch some favourite films, cuddle up with a partner or go out for a nice meal. Not so others.

From nurses and doctors in hospitals to those out there on the high seas or deep below ground. From emergency services on permanent call to soldiers in far off lands fighting for freedom and, please God, to make it home. Home that we take for granted.

Be glad the bad days as they make the good ones all the sweeter. But remember the many who celebrate a good bad day. A bad day like any other but good because they are have survived to do it all over again tomorrow!!

Too Quick!

Human activity is breathtaking. Breathtakingly quick. Too quick. We truly are a race; hurtling at breakneck speed from place to place our frazzelled minds barely ( and often rarely ) keeping up. This behaviour means we are too quick for our own good. We've got no time. No time to take our time. We're always too quick -
  • Too quick to jump to conclusions

  • Too quick to point the finger and pass the buck

  • Too quick to decide rather than wait and see

  • Too quick to have today and pay tomorrow

  • Too quick to condemn, judge or moralise

There's nothing to win in being the fastest. Burn-out maybe, worn out definitely. So wise up and slow down. Trouble is we are slow in some ways, too slow -

  • Too slow to lend a hand or support

  • Too slow at being something rather than doing nothing and re-charging

  • Too slow at hanging on in there for the long haul where few show up

  • Too slow at saying no

  • Too slow to know that chilling out first means chilling in(side)

It's one competitive field in the human race. Millions are joining in all the time. It could be the best time ever to drop out. Let it all go. Be a sustainable energy person. Save it. For another day, for yourself, your world and above all a longer life.

New Endangered Species

Maybe I'm getting old but I've noticed recently that noble, traditional ways are being slowly eroded away. Modern existence is helter skelter living and technology is moving just as quick to stay a pace with it. Current speak is, 'facebook this' or 'twitter that' or 'mp3 the other' as everyone is an internet marketer, online entrepeneur or SEO specialist. Fair enough you have to keep up with the times but what's being lost in the process? Let me say, a lot!!

Crucial but simple traits in society have become the new endangered species. Characteristics like respect, good manners and neighbourhoodness are fading away. Great swathes of the Earth have now seen responsibility, honesty and patience lost in record numbers. Red alerts are out for togetherness, community and decency. We are all asked to do what we can to preserve them. But we've got human climate change. Mankind is getting hotter in mood, darker in mind and more colder in its hearts all the time. We're in for a storm soon if we're not careful!!

Please don't let the old fangled stuff die. Don't condemn them to history books or memories. Look for them everyday and point them out. Tell others, spread the word ( especially on the street ). Record where you've witnessed them. Be a supporter and give daily. Keep it simple, keep it real, above all keep it going. The little things are always the big things. Life is like a flower in our hands. Don't let it die the last of its kind.

Three Little Words

What do you think are the three most powerful words in life when used together? Yes, of course, "I Love You" easily comes to mind but does everyone have access to sharing and saying them?

The Astrologer, Jonathan Cainer, wisely cited that, "I Don't Know" holds the crown in that it allows all possibilities to manifest in time rather than making instant, often inaccurate decisions.

To me, however, the real challenge is to define life in three little words. To create a simple, but powerful definition of what life is about in a short phrase. In this blog that is my challenge to you! Find for yourself three little words that spell out one big meaning. One which makes you jump for joy on the inside;one that explains things!
Let me get you started with some ideas - Make Things Happen Unlocking My Potential An Everyday Adventure

I've focused on the positive because, well, that's me. What is you? Be clear and sure. Your 3 words will have an energy to them so make sure they match how you feel about life. Then live those words!! Follow their message every day. Bring them to life, in your life.

Result: Three little words, one big lifetime.
