  • "I hate the phrase “Hurt people hurt people.” I understand it. And it ‘makes sense’ but aren’t we all hurt? Don’t we all have “something”? At what point, do you decide that you’re not going to use the master’s tools? At what point do you say, I’ve been hurt, I refuse to inflict pain. I refuse to send more hurt people out into the universe. At what point do you stop the cycle? People do it. It can be done. It’s not a matter of “Your blues ain’t like mine”. We all could point to something big in our lives and say, “This is why I’m mean.” Or “this is why I made you cry because someone made me cry once.” That’s not ok. Never ok. I can’t excuse bad behaviour anymore. I can’t be ok with being hurt because someone (that wasn’t me) hurt you once. No. Nobody deserves it. You didn’t deserve to be hurt. But I s...

  • "For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again." -F.Scott Fitzgerald

  • set yourself some daily goals. Keep them realistic and achievable. That will give direction – so you don’t fritter your time.
  • read inspirational books and blogs; hang around people who are positive.
  • stay in touch with what’s happening in the world. We’re not just islands – we are part of one another.
  • make the effort to stay in touch. Just a “like” on facebook, or a brief text message, conveys to that person that they matter to you.
  • invest some time in your appearance and health. We’re more confident when we look and feel our best.
  • pay attention to your priorities. Do what’s most important, and not most urgent, first. (Note: If you never learn to prioritise then everything seems urgent – and that’s what runs your life!)
