The Day To... See what you've got

So, I wanted to carry on a little from Wednesday’s blog, because I realise that there’s another side to what I was talking about.

On the one hand, Wednesday’s blog was about not having to worry about making a decision when the pressure was on you from other places. On the other, you might be stressing out because you want to make an all important decision in your life, or you want to make a change, and you feel as though you don’t have any options to take. You might feel like that you can’t do this or be that because you don’t have something in particular.

If that’s the case, I want to tell you to look at what you do have, and be positive about what you have. I had a conversation today with a friend who had a very interesting statistic. As a student, with theoretically a £3000 annual income, we are still part of the richest 10% of the global population.

All I’m saying is be thankful for what you do have, and be positive about it.

There is plenty that you can do in the circumstances that you’re in.

You’ve just read that and I know what you’re thinking; and you’re right, I don’t know who you are or what kind of situation you’re in. But I think it’s safe to assume that, no matter who you are, you probably have much, much more than you give yourself credit for.

Just listen to the song I’ve put up today. Not only do I want you to listen to the lyrics, but I just want you to see how much Nina Simone loves being on that stage. Look her up on Wikipedia; she hasn’t exactly had the easiest of lives, but she went out there and she made sure that she did what she wanted to do.

Her smile at 1:06 says it all, really
