3 things I love about Lighthouses…and how it can help you✊

I’ve always had a fascination for Lighthouses. I love how regal and noble they look perched on top of cliffs helping guide ships to safety.

When I visited Plymouth recently, seeing this particular Lighthouse made me think about some of the qualities I love and admire about them that could also be implemented into our lives.

Here are 3 things I find really cool about Lighthouses & how to use them to make Life Awesome✊

1) A Lighthouse stands strong and immovable even in the face of gales and storms

When we know what our core values are, it’s easier to stand firm, resolute, centred and at peace with ourselves.

The world and the people around us could be running around frantically but if we know what we stand for and what we believe in, it gives us natural stability, calm and a sense of security that is unshakeable.

2) Lighthouses are silent yet powerful, admired & looked up to

We don’t need to shout about our goals and achievements. If we just stay diligent and true to our life’s purpose and love the work we do, the undeniable evidence of our results will shine brightly and speak louder for themselves than we ever could.

3) Lighthouses are majestic because they’re positioned high but are also sturdy and firmly rooted to the ground

Stay humble and down to earth and proud of who you are. Honour your purpose by recognising your life’s passion and then live your life in direct alignment➡️with it.

I believe there’s no greater reward in life than knowing what your purpose is and living it in a way that benefits you and others around you.

I hope my Lighthouse experience has inspired you as much as it inspired me!

Speak again soon,

What’s Your Higher Purpose In Life?…

You see countless posts about ‘higher purpose’ on social media, numerous books have been written on this subject too.

It can be a fascinating topic of discussion.

“What’s your higher purpose in life?”

Now what if I told you, you fulfill your higher purpose in life all the time? like…

When you took time out to help a friend in need.

Or when you contributed time and money you could’ve spent on yourself towards a worthy cause that helped others instead.

Or when you sat with your mother, your father, or your child…to keep them company, sensing they were comforted and happy with your presence.

People will often equate higher purpose with a significant achievement that has to happen in their lives.

But I believe the true measure of our achievements and goals…is how we affect others positively.

Whenever you choose to act with kindness, compassion and love – in ANYTHING

Take courage and feel no fear or doubt Because in that moment you are elevated and fully aligned with your Higher Purpose, and that part of you that makes you shine at your core: Your soul.

How to Feel Good Every Day (or close enough :))

I’m a big fan of feeling good.

I’ll go so far as to state my belief that feeling good is an essential if not the main key to achieving what you want in life – be that security, happiness, love, money, or success.

When you feel good, you magnetise more good things to come your way. Your focus also tends to be more on opportunities, ideas, people, places, and situations that ‘feed’ those good feelings.

This is when you set off a chain reaction – linking one good feeling to the next good feeling, one good idea to the next good idea, and one good opportunity to the next good opportunity, doors and paths seem to open up that didn’t even exist or occur to you before

Until before you know it and as if by sheer luck, the things you desire in life are suddenly before you.

Here’s a formula I use that helps me to feel good every day (or close enough :)).

I ‘reverse-engineer’ my dreams.

I start at the ‘outcome’

I work on being crystal clear on what I want in the future. So clear in fact that the dream even has colour, sounds and yes even smells 😅

… i.e when I dream of working remotely on a beach paradise location? I smell the salt of the ocean, feel the warm breeze, and see the amazingly clear blue of the water reflected by the great blue cloudless sky; I experience every sensation in my dreams.

Then I work my way backwards to where I am now in the present…firstly being grateful for everything I already have…and then thinking of ‘small’ do-able things I can do, to make that dream a reality… and I simply keep doing those things…every-single-day.

They’re small enough that they are absolutely achievable – So it could be simple things like putting up a picture of the beach on my vision board, learning more about the island I want to go to, or speaking to people who already live the kind of lifestyle I want, and learning and applying how they did it.

Anything and everything I do and complete on a daily basis towards that dream?… I count it as a ‘success” for that day, no matter how small the ‘win.

This is how I nurture and maintain a mindset of feeling good, being optimistic and ‘certain’ that I’m on my way towards living that dream someday very soon.
