1% Daily - The how and why you need to find 1% daily

There is no such thing as a selfless act and that's cool You need to do more of it! I promise it will come back to you1

When was the last time you stopped and took in a sunset? This may be on your own, with someone special. Life is full of magical moments, yet we get so busy we miss them all. I encourage you to slow down a little, take in a sunset, and take life for what its really all about. Magical moments!

I dropped the ball I fell off the wagon Please let me explain how this happened, and how it will be happening in your life as well. What we can do about it, how it happened and what we can learn from it. I dropped the ball But I picked it back up again That's the important bit I'm glad to be back Have an awesome day

As humans, we like to find the path of least resistance What happens is we then get complacent. Every now and again, it is important to reevaluate your standards and your expectations. This goes for yourself, your friends, family and the people you come in contact with on a daily basis. This is ok and is important if you want to keep working on and improving as an individual. Raise your Standards

Growth is found in the process, the uncomfortable process of learning something new, working our muscles in a different way. As humans, we are designed to find the path of least resistance, this means we like to find the easy way to do something. This was good when we were solving problems, but nowadays our lives are pretty easy in comparison. We still have the ability to find the path of least resistance and in this day and age, this then can be problematic. In order to counteract this, we need to have new experiences,m we need to get comfortable being uncomfortable because this is where the good stuff happens Every day, do something new, challenge yourself.

Having spent two weeks freezing my bits of in Norway, the trip was rounded off with a ski. An undulated, cross country ski race. Just like in life, when you think you have got it sussed or you take your eye off the ball, you spin out on the bend of a sharp descent whilst trying to remember how to ski Life is just like a Cross Country Skin race

In Norway, there was no room in your Bergen for non-essentials. The fun part was the method of discovering what was essential and what was not? We fill our lives with so much "stuff" that it becomes hard to function. Take time out to re-pack it all, move stuff around and get rid of some "stuff" Here how it went down in Norway

You are the poeple you hang out with When you are a Royal Marine, the standards are pretty high Why do we then lower out standards and expectations inall of the other areas of life? Stop settling, cut the deadwood and raise your game It starts with who you hang out with!

Sometimes we are occasionally blown away by new experiences and then on other occasions, we will actively avoid them. I was prompted to think about this again whilst I was away in Norway and then when I came home and I was playing my little boy Bear. Norway for me was one whole new experience. The coldest weather and water I had ever experienced. Ice breaker drills and -23 nights in a survival shelter. But for me the one that stood out the most, was seeing the NOrthern Lights. I had seen these on TV, heard the stories, but had no idea what to expect. Boy was I in for a shock. The Northern Lights blew my mind and the minds of those around me. Getting home then and sharing this with Bear, was as much fun as being there again. For him he was having new experiences at school, riding his bike, learning to ride a skateboard and then how to engage with other pupils and staff at school. He too was having his mind blown. He is having new experiences every day, that's what life looks like for kids. As we get older we have less and less of these experiences because we get into routines and habits that might not best serve us. So then the idea of something new blows our mind. I encourage you to think more like a kid, worry less, get excited more and try something new today. Have an awesome day

Finding new limits through new levels of cold. Part of life is the experiences we have on a daily basis. We use these experiences to shape and define our norms. When you are faced with new experiences that force you further than ever before, that is where the magic happens. Nothing truly magnificent came from something mediocre or safe. The power and beauty are in the process. The process of being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Hope you like this one
