My Favourite Day

"What day is it?" asked Pooh. "Its today" squeaked Piglet. "My favourite day" said Pooh.


Its pouring with rain in Cape Town as I sit and write this today. Its freezing cold outside, well as cold as Cape Town can get in winter. Its grey and overcast and pretty damn gloomy in Cape Town too. Not an ideal day to be a favourite day!


This quote came to mind early this morning as it was retweeted and  really made me smile and made me think. Everyone seems to hate a Monday, love a Friday and enjoy any day when they do not have to work. Why can't and Why isn't every day a day to enjoy?  Why isn't every day a favourite day?


Today, like every day this week and every day going forward is going to be my favourite day. Every day is unique and by deciding its a favourite will make sure it is filled with as much luck, success and happiness as possible. 


This change of mindset making every day a favourite can make your life as gentle and fun as a day from any Winnie the Pooh story. Look at the stories A A Milne wrote, every one of them has Pooh and/or someone in his group of friend needing to overcome something and everything always turns out well in the end. The reason why it turns out well is because the intent of making the day a favourite day and making is a success.


Make every day your favourite day.  Don't try it.. do it!

A Measure of Luck

Nothing makes a person happier than good luck.  How do you feel when good luck is on your side? How do you feel when bad luck hits you?  The emotions are at oposite ends of the scale.

Today I decided, when I woke up in the dark that my day would be filled with good luck. I decided only good stuff would happen and that I will find the good in absolutely everything. My day has been awesome and filled with positive results.

Any one can do it and any measure of good luck creates a feeling inside like a drug where you crave more. Most of us don't know where to look for it so we can't get more and slip back down to normality. Today I changed my mindset and did not, have not, allow myself to feel anything other than awesome.

The luck started last night, I planned it, I slept on it and put the plan into action this morning.




Anyone can do it, its just about not letting those negative feelings hit you.  And luck is not just winning money or a bet its much more than that and often so tiny we tend to ignore it.  I have written down a journal of my luck today and it makes interesting reading from Green Traffic lights to superb outcomes of business meetings indeed one killing 3 bird with one stone!! Luck some would say put me where I was, Rubbish I made myself there LUCK had nothing to do with it I just planned for a positive outcome and got it!

Plan for a lucky day.  Don't try it... Do it!

When the bug knocks you

I have been knocked for 6 with a flu bug. Wow my body went downhill fast and every time I got up I fell back down.

There are times when you physically need to rest, "doctors orders" was what we were all told once upon a time.  In todays mad, crazy world how often do we really, truly rest?  I must admit as a confessed workaholic I often don't, having a 9 year old son also adds to the pace of life.

The best motivation at times is to listen to your body and just rest.  I slowed down yesterday and took a half day. By 5pm I was fast asleep in dreamland and my body was slowing down.




This morning I woke from a perfect, dream-filled sleep full of energy, bubbling with happiness and ready to tackle the day ahead.  I tackled my day head on and have had a marvelous, successful day.

If I had not rested I guarantee I would have felt dreadful again this morning.

So Rest and don't feel bad because you Rest.

Don't try it,  Do it!
