Some thoughts for 2018 from James Aspey -vegan animal rights activist and caring human
1. Have an attitude of gratitude
Think of all the positive things you should be grateful for.... Make the majority of thoughts be ones of gratefulness.
From the planet to family to being where you are now , people around you, teachers mentors parents siblings, team members ....
- Be grateful for being able to communicate , to contribute, to collaborate, to share, to learn
- Be grateful for your values , for your situation, for your ability to improve and grow.
- Be grateful for your health, the ability to love and be loved....
- Be grateful for the ability to influence and be influenced, the ability to lead or follow a leader
- Be grateful for being in this amazing country we call home - with the freedoms and opportunities it gives us
- Be grateful for being on this planet at this time of existence Be grateful for being able to nurture memories of loved ones still here and those who have passed,
- Be grateful the ability of choice
- Be grateful for the abundance that exists.
2. Own who you are - know yourself
- Don’t be what others want you to be - unless it suits you to do so.
- Be straight up and truthful of who you are - people will love you for it .
- Those people who are going to love you will love you know matter who you are .
- If you are acting to be liked - you will create this connection based on a lie .
- You can still aspire and learn from and mould others based on your core values - be clear on what those are
- If you don't have to lie - and you are in flow with your real self - you will grow exponentially and radiate happiness and positive vibes to those around you .
- You are unique, you are special - shine bright and be yourself
3. Talk kindly to yourself
- Dont put yourself down - you hear from yourself the most - be nice to yourself and you will be nice to others.
- Talk to yourself with love and compassion - no need to be do hard on yourself .
- Be positive and kind and positive and kind things will come your way - it's the power of attraction .
- Make your mind be your friend - not your enemy . If you are harsh and negative - flip it - think of how cool you are or something that you have this unconscious competence of doing great things
4. Focus on something bigger than yourself .
We are not always going to be happy or positive - and shit things will happen - you will try and fail - people won't like you - you won't get that job or promotion - but it's all part of the journey - make a difference to the planet.
