God gives every bird its food, but He does not throw it into its nest

J.G. Holland

Unfortunately many of us are not born with a silver spoon, and those of us who are cannot expect everything they want to be simply handed to them all of the time.

When you want something you have to get it, and when you need something you have to work for it. Life isn't a walk through the park, there are bridges we have to build rivers we must surpass and oceans we will have to swim through. But if we want what’s at the end of the journey, we have to put in the effort and fight to finish the marathon.


If you want a first class degree, if you want to lose weight, if you want a happy home, a fulfilling job or good relationships there is one thing that will always be required- that is effort.

Effort is what we must give in order to achieve what we want.


Anything is achievable, but not everything is easy. 

Birds must make the effort to find their food.

And we must make the effort to attain what we are looking for

Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?

-Dennis and Wendy Mannering

We don't always realise it, but the things we do affect the people around us.
I'm sure we all get the sense of it, when you are around happy people you tend to feel happier.. and when you are around glum people you tend to feel more glum.

Allot of our attitude are not great to have, ignorance, rudeness, the lack of care, impresses upon the people around you. They say; whoever they may be that We take a small part of everyone we meet in life with us. And whether we like it or not the attitued we portray will influence someone and will make a difference.

Its not always a bad thing, sometimes positive attitured, helpfullness, kindness, energy it can all bring something great to the people around us. But as good lives so does bad, and negative attituteds can affect people also.

So when we wake up in the morning and go into envoronments where we know we make a difference, we must contemplate whether our behaviour is one worthy of catching on ?

Dont change yourself for the satisfaction of others

We don't always be accepted by those around us, there will always be someone who dislikes you. There will always be something about you that annoys others. Its a matter of life.

No one is perfect, and no one can be. Sure we can strive and do our hardest to be the best person we can be, and I encourage that whole heartily, but do so with the intention of changing for your own benefit as well as others.

If you find happiness in who you are, and you aren't hurting anyone, you should embrace your individuality. Even if others don't appreciate it. In order for someone to be popular many others will have to be unpopular. Don't change your self Marley to satisfy others.

Love yourself and be your own best friend, be happy with who you are and others will follow. Don't be a product of someone Else's desire, be the plants of your own seeds.

Be passionate about what you do in life

'Let me get straight to the point yeah'

Blogging is not for everyone, but it is for me... why so? Because I have a passion for writing and expression. Not everyone will; and that’s fine. But if you don’t have the passion and motivation to do something you can never achieve what you want.

Don’t just do things for the sake of doing things, you should love what you do, and enjoy it, because if you don’t you are just wasting moments of your time.

I should know!

Speaking from someone who lacks motivation in many senses, I moan indifferently about things, yes I am lazy and I don’t appreciate reading much further than my texts messages, and so I have got nowhere with my literature texts. Yet with what I enjoy I find time to exceed in.

And be reassured you don’t have to be good at what you do, if you have the passion you will take more from it. Don’t be put off by obstacles and difficulties if you want something grab it with both hands and do the best you can. No grade or achievement can determine your happiness, there is no guarantee a 1st class degree will make you happy. Only you can determine what makes you happy. . If you enjoy what you do regardless you’re guaranteed a smile on your face.
