In Control

There are things you can control and things you cannot control. If you focus too heavily on thosethings you cannot control, it can lead to an overwhelming amount of frustration & anxiety.

Choose instead to focus your thoughts and efforts on those things upon which you can have a positive influence. There are plenty of those things, and by giving your energy to them you can quickly and significantly improve the quality of your life.

Stop worrying so much about what others are doing wrong. Instead, put your time and effort into discovering what you can do right, what you can do well, and in using your unique abilities to create excellence.
Whenever you feel yourself getting anxious or frustrated by something that's beyond your control, stop and take a fresh look around. There's something you can do, right there & then, that will make a positive difference in the world.

The more you make use of the positive power that you have, the stronger that power will grow. There is always something you can do, and it always beats complaining or worrying about those things you cannot do.

Do what you can, when you can, where you can, with what you have. You'll find that it can make an enormous difference.

OMG

I cannot believe that 2 months have somehow escaped me. Well 2 months that I have not blogged anyway. Its not as if I have not been doing anything, entirely the opposite.

I even managed a trip to Perth for a few days which was totally unexpected. First time to Perth & loved the place. The amazing thing is I will be heading back over there in April next year for our National Championships.

Business is still a work in progress situation, training is also work in progress, & the body is following in the same path. All good!! (well most of the time, but hey, thats why its all good)

Have a look at this lovely lady.

Ruth is from my athletics club and this is how she celebrated her 100th birthday. Naturally she set a few more age records on the day.

She is one full on inspiration.
