Is there something you’d like to try, or a place you’d like to visit?? Well write it down and keep a list. It keeps your dream alive and stops it fading into a forgotten thought.

It’s experiences, not stuff, that create memories with meaning.

Life has never had so many opportunities, the choices to create a lifestyle that we truly love. However many of us still live life on autopilot and forget that we can change our course at anytime. Be deliberate in the choices you make in life. It’s your life to live, no-one else’s.

15. Speaking your mind
Many of us hold back our thoughts, opinions, and desires. We don’t want to displeasing others, however this then means we’re not being true to ourselves. Saying what you are thinking is libarating, yes you may feel uncomfortable in the short-term, however people will respect you in the long term and you will enjoy life more.
