A Letter to Life

Hi Life, I’d like to write you a letter after being around a while!

Dear Life and Anyone Reading,

This is my point of view after many experiences. I hope my daughter gets to read It, she is foremost in my mind as I write.

Here is my list….

• Always be kind
• Say Thank you, in fact write a hand written note and say “Thank you”.  Making the effort it really does mean you are full of thanks!
• Aim to turn left on a plane but don’t give your heart away to do it!
• Always tip a cab driver
• Never queue for food but always give back to others who have too
• Always Listen
• Learn from others who’ve been before you
• Your heart will be broken, probably a few times, it is shit but honestly everyone in your life will have the same experience at some point.
• Trust your heart, your head can and will be a little biased sometimes.  Your gut feeling will tell you! Follow that feeling.
• Dreams do come true, just believe in them and never ever stop striving for them!
• Anything is possible.
• Loading a dishwasher is a work of art! Good luck!
• It’s ok to cry, it really is.
• Be honest, with others but firstly and most importantly with yourself, you’ll then find the answers!
• Don’t take any s**t nor bullying, just smile and walk away, you are better, it’s their stuff not yours!
• Santa is real.
• Break the rules!
• Skip!
• Cheat at monopoly, then admit it!
• Learn to trust.
• Be trustworthy.
• Actions speak louder than any words! In a world of Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat and the rest, it’s easy to write words, be the change – Do something but do it selflessly without any return. That’s the gift.
• You are going to get fired one day – That’s ok, learn, grow and know it’s ok.
• Laugh, a lot.
• Running is bloody hard work!
• Never walk past a homeless person without giving a moment of your time to have a conversation, sometimes that’s enough.
• Drugs are bad, they make you who you are not! Cost a fortune and will kill you in the end, if only in your spiritual soul. Trust me.
• Always have flowers in your home.
• Eat the cake!
• If yu are in trouble , it’s ok, be honest, reach out and asking for help is just fine.
• Be proud of YOU!
• Own a pet!
• Buy a blank canvas and paint and make your own picture. It’s yours for life.
• Hiccups Brown bag or carrier bag, breath in and out of it for a couple of minutes, hiccups gone! Trust me on this I’ve tried everything!
• Cereal for dinner is wholly acceptable!
• It’s ok to struggle sometimes.
• It’s ok to tell someone you are struggling.
• Look out for your friends.
• Call some one and make their day
• Toothache is horrific!
  You are never ever going to please everyone – trust me I tried, bad bad idea, just be you. YOU are enough. YOU are YOU! Be YOU!
• What you wear does not define YOU! I work with the biggest star in the world, he wears jeans and a jumper! Sometimes even a t shirt, Actually both with holes in, it’s not what is on the outside it’s what’s on the inside!
• You’ll always regret the kebab!
• Have no fear, on the other side of it is a freedom you’ll not believe! You got this!
• If You book a holiday with wooden sunbeds you are winning !
• Stretch your arm out, touch the wall with the tip of your fingers, take it back, rub your elbow for 2 minutes, try and touch the wall again and it won’t reach the wall! You’ll do this and you can thank me later!
• You will never ever get the wires behind your TV neat and tidy!
• Read a book.
• You will be a creature of habit! Change the habit now and then!

• Lose your biscuit in a cuppa tea!
• Being famous is not the greatest thing in life !
• You only have today.
• Forgive.
• Laugh at yourself.
• Dance to music on your own. Nobody’s watching!
