Every form of cheating is to cheat oneself....x

Cheating,

It’s not a word associated with anything positive. Cheating in love, cheating in sport, cheating the law (which I guess can be fun at times!), all create problems, not only with other people, but in our core. Ultimately, every form of cheating is to cheat oneself. Cheats may take the financial spoils, but they only spoil the more important, emotional wealth that we need as part of the true fabric of our beings. 

To enter into anything with a fraudulent outcome on the agenda is simply never going to result in true satisfaction. Greed, driven by insecurity, driven by ego, driven by the expectancies of others, driven by social conditioning etc, always leaves a hollow, or dissatisfied.

To tackle any opportunity, any challenge however long the odds, with a pure motive and a clear conscience can never create regrets. I live by the philosophy that if I’ve made a decision for the right reason, not for selfish gain, greed or to the detriment of others, I never regret it, no matter how catastrophic the outcome.

Be optimistic, set the bar high and jump at it with at with all your springy bounce. If you don’t clear it, you may well jump higher than you ever imagined possible. I’m jumping like I’m on a trampoline right now. So much to reach for, so much to try to achieve. I may not clear the bar with everything, but I’m going to go for it with a sense of gusto that I’ve not had for a long long time, if ever.

The focal point? The babies is obvious, but it’s more than that. Wednesday is a huge day for me too. 10 years of being cancer free. This coming week feels like it’s going to be definitive in some way.

This sums up where I’m at right now, I really hope you’re feeling the same way too because there’s always hope, always…

“When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.”
