Can you buy happiness?
Normally the answer would be no...
Happiness comes from within how can you buy that? Well, here's a great poem that answers this question in an interesting way:
"You can't buy loyalty, they say
I bought it though, the other day;
You can't buy friendship, tried and true,
Well just the same, I bought that too.
I made my bid, and on the spot
Bought love and faith and a whole job lot
Of happiness, so all in all
The purchase price was pretty small.
I bought a single trusting heart,
That gave devotion from the start.
If you think these things are not for sale,
Buy a brown-eyed puppy with
a stump for a tail."

This is my loving dog "Toffee". I can't tell you how much happiness she has given me over the years.
A pet not only helps you get rid of stress but changes your whole outlook. It is one great antidote to depression. Better than any anti-depressant for sure!

Yesterday evening I arrived in Durham in the North of England, greeted by the rain but my enthusiasm is not dampened! I will be teaching as I did last year at Durham university for one month...
I'll be keeping you posted about my time there, a little info about the place and some inspiring posts about life in general...
Come back and check me out for the latest news on my trip home to the UK.
I have written about making good decisions before. It is so important...
Do you have difficult decisions to make?
What is the most important thing to remember before making important decisions?
Well if you had bought my self esteem secrets e-book you would have got my free 1,000 word report about making good choices to help you build your self esteem. I really put a lot of time and effort into that report and it's filled with great advice.
So what's the answer to that last question above??
- Don't make decisions for a negative reason.
You shouldn't make any important decision when you are in a negative mood because you will decide badly. Your view will be mistaken and you will only see the down side of the situation.
Don't say "I hate this or have to desperately change this..."
Or "I can't stand this anymore so..."
Or "I don't want this, I don't like this.."
Decide only when you are in a positive mood and can see things correctly and in balance. You MUST make decisions for a positive reason..
Decide to do something or make a change in order to improve or better your situation.
Decisions which help you develop or grow or move forward are positive decisions.
So my message for you today is:
IF YOU HAVE AN IMPORTANT DECISION TO MAKE WAIT UNTIL YOU FEEL POSITIVE AND MAKE POSITIVE DECISIONS
I recommend the bonus report "Making Choices that Help you Build your Self Esteem" which is free with my e-book "Self Esteem Secrets" - go and get it today
