If you’re going to make the incredible effort to be born, then why not live your life to the MAX. It makes sense, doesn’t it? Why do it half shod? Why only let the throttle out half way? Put your foot flat to the floor, spin the wheels, burn some rubber and let loose with a ‘Yahoo’ as you tear up the road in your supercharged hot rod of a life that is yours to live. Too many of us try to play it safe and at the end of the road we find ourselves trapped in self-imposed security. But you know and I know that there’s only one life to live, so let’s LIVE it.

This is another extract from a book "Smile Your Way To Success’

that I collaborated with Peter Sinclair on…

For years I lived my life waiting for the ‘one day’ to kick in.

After nearly ten years, when that ‘one day’ still hadn’t arrived,

I decided that it was probably time to really start to enjoy life.

My children were growing older and my years weren’t being

reversed. So rather than waiting for that illusive day, I decided

to start to live my life to the full. I made a decision to enjoy

every moment, while still focusing on my dream. In an instant,

happiness replaced anger. Fulfillment replaced frustration and

life became a pleasant experience. I analysed my strengths,

discarded my weaknesses and then strengthened my strengths

through practice. And as the song says, ‘Don’t worry, be happy!’

I recently went to see a motivational speaker who

had been through hell and back in her earlier years

- it made for a very interesting evening! I came up

with the following cartoon after hearing of the

obstacles she had overcome…..

I recommend you go and see good motivational speakers when

you can – you will come away inspired. and it’ll be a great help

when you have obstacles in your way.

While surfing around the web looking for some good motivational

quotes I cam across this one by Roald Dahl…A person who has

good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose

and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but

if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like

sunbeams and you will always look lovely.
