    Afternoon all,

    Michelle has highlighted different perspectives and opinions challenge you to self reflect therefore to begin I would like to accept full responsibility for the delivery of my message and apologise to those who felt shamed and judged. Not my intention at all.

    I do not wish to share my story, my aim was to focus on invoking or inspiring a change (positive) in people’s lives without sympathy for myself. Hence why my message was delivered in a stoic manner. But on reflection, Michelle is correct. A lot of you need guidance and support. Longevity is not something I can provide, as I am terminal.

    This will be my last message, I have decided to refocus my attention on leaving an impact on people I know personally. It would be counter productive to continue… if I am not able to support those who need extra help to follow through on the essence of my message.

    There was no malice intended, I stand by my words; life is too short and we have the control to make our lives happy and fulfilled. It comes from gratitude, appreciating time and making the issues which feel insurmountable become so trivial to ourselves that they no longer impact our happiness or affect us in a negative manner (I.e. mental health issues, low worth, low belief and anxiety).

    This is done through rewiring our mind and following through with action. So we lay the track to thinking positively which will produce more better decisions and life choices.

    I leave you with this ; you can’t go back and change the beginning but you can start where you are and change the ending. May you all live the remainder of your lives with peace and contentment even when the inevitable trials and tribulations, life throws your way.

    Adelaide, it is not a blanket approach nor do I wish force it upon anyone. We are all adults and have a choice. I’m giving a different perspective.

    I have faced severe trauma in life so am well aware of complexities one can face and how some people suffer more than others. I am assuming you have some pre existing condition or ailment thus your life is not valued or put first, you would not be chosen to be saved over others- I am in the exact same position. Your main focus is to survive. Rightly it should be. My main focus is to survive but if I don’t which is a high likelihood to leave an impact behind – encourage people to respect the gift of life. To invoke change in people’s attitudes. I’m trying to get people to understand the fleeting nature of life and be happy. So if they do survive this pandemic their life isnt spent with anxiety or sadness. It is spent with more self worth, contentment and a belief to be better/do better as some of us won’t get that chance. I’m being realistic about life. The positions we put ourselves in are a result of our own actions and negative trail of thoughts.

    I’m encouraging people to deal with life in a more positive way. If you do not wish to heed any of my advice that is your choice and you are 100% entitled to but it may resonate with someone else who will put forth the tips and hopefully lead a more content life. I wish you well and hope you find inner peace and happiness in whichever way you can. Please of anything do not shame yourself. That is not what my message is intending. Every moment on this earth should be considered a privilege.

    Sammy, again if you felt ashamed by my words I apologise. However I’m glad you recognised ending your life os not the way forward as you have the power to change it. That is what you should work on. Change the negative virus that infects your mind – all those negative thoughts which make you feel unworthy and have a positive attitude to believing by making wiser choices and decisions you will create a better version of life for yourself. Again have gratitude for what you have- focus your thoughts on that. This will have a ripple effect on your anxiety and life thus you will make more conscious well thought life choices.

    Adelaide I respect your response. However if you think the intention was to shame then the whole message hasn’t resonated correctly. Shame errodes the very part of us that believes we are capable of change.

    The message was the pandemic should be a time to awaken you to change. Everyone is capable of being better human beings me included. An individual should see the pandemic as a reset! Humans making better choices for themselves by breeding positive thoughts not ruminating over things you have no control over anymore. To find contentment you have to practice gratitude, break bad habits (I.e. shaming yourself, ruminating over the past or past mistakes), break the negative attitude, help others. Be content with what you have. We can all work on those to be better humans. The landscape if the world is about to change drastically. Life is too short. Live it happily. That is my point.

    Brace yourself for my view. You don’t have real gratitude because if you did you wouldn’t be asking this question particularly whilst we are going through a pandemic of this scale which will change life as we know it.

    What can I do to appreciate this “wonderful…man?” Ask yourself if you were to lose him tomorrow to coronavirus would you be devastated or sit there thinking Never mind, it’s ok he’s gone as we had lost the honeymoon phase of a relationship (which everyone does.)

    Don’t take for granted what you have because when you lose it and find it was irreplaceable it will be to late. You’ll have no choice but to accept that situation.

    Stop asking for more, more and more. Count your blessings. If as you said you have a wonderful, intelligent man in front of you who loves you, discuss it with him or even surprise him, spice it up. You have half the control of your physical relationship. It’s not hard when you have two adults who love each other to inject that in.

    Hello Michelle,

    I went on a few different forum topics to give a few threads, some enlightenment. Mainly the ones that seem to be stuck in a rut.

    It’s not my intention to cause offence. Few might go on the defense. Given the circumstances of the world right now, for many on this thread it is time for a PUSH. I agree one or two cases which are fairly recent need sympathy but even them cases can benefit from seeing the bigger picture and stop the downward spiral you described.

    I couldn’t agree more there is a need for balance between sympathy and dose of harsh reality. Too much sympathy makes our “victim” thoughts feel validated. It makes us repeat the same mistakes. Too less sympathy makes us feel alone and these feeds our insecurities and negative thoughts.

    This is a post based on the perspective of the WORLD SITUATION. It is an opportunity like I said to really come out as better people. Those who are self aware and willing to see beyond the superficial layers of this situation will grasp how now is the time to change. Those who don’t will simply go back to their old ways having learnt nothing. With no new sense of appreciation or understanding of the lessons this pandemic is meant to teach us about every single aspect of life.

    The situations we find ourselves in requires accepting responsibility. It requires drawing a line and making better choices and decisions.

    People always find themselves in situations as a result of their own ACTIONS. We form the wrong type of addictions. If an ex was abusive or an ex doesn’t want you – instead of accepting and removing oneself from the situation , we crawl back again towards the fire then wonder why we are unhappy, hurt or burnt again?

    Become addicted to making the world a better place, helping others. Become addicted to positive mentality. Become addicted to surrounding yourself with better people, making wiser CHOICES!

    Take this virus we all face as an analogy.
    You are taking precautions. Making sacrifices (not seeing your families etc, losing money etc) but you continue to stay inside despite your desperate desire to have freedom because you know it is for the greater good.

    This is how your mind should be rewired to think about life itself. So you learn to accept that shit happens, some things in life are not good for you. You fight it by not indulging in a negative train of thought. That’s protection from desire.

    Going through the same thoughts or ruminating on a situation which can not be changed or is no good for us is also parasitic in nature. You will continue to infect and spread it throughout your mind. What have you achieved – loss of life.

    I’m trying to encourage an awakening in people’s soul and minds. They spend years in therapy. Years mourning. Years wasting their life on negative energy. Not really moving. Just stationary. If this pandemic doesn’t alter their line of thought then I doubt anything will. They will spend their lives continually falling into the same habits, patterns and waste life. If the daily death we are seeing in front of our very own eyes doesn’t make you want to enjoy life going forward as a better, wiser human being. Then sadly this pandemic will have taught you nothing. Is the way you exist today the way a gift as precious as life, should be treated?

    If you don’t know who you are. Then simply ask yourself who do you want to be ? What will bring you happiness? You are in control. Ask yourself who do I want to be remembered as what mark do I want to leave on this world? Every single human being has purpose. Discover it. Seek it.

     

    All requires perseverance, goals and objectives. If you believe you can and will achieve.

    It starts from accepting who you are but striving to be a better human being for yourself and  others. Let this pandemic enlighten your soul. No one is perfect but we must always strive to be better. We are in unprecedented times where people are gasping for their last breath. Do you want to live your life as your true good self or appease others?

     

    Everything begins from within. The mind is a powerful tool. Feed it goodness and it will ooze out of every pore and consequently your actions will be better. You’ll make wise choices. This pandemic is once in a lifetime, are you going to come out having become a better person or remain the same?

    A post which might shake some of you out of your funk. Disclaimer: I’m not saying your heartbreak is something to be diminished. Anxiety is certainly not something to mock. However you need to open your eyes and see the bigger picture.

    I have survived far worse, I’m not here to share that story. Your woes are not any less either but I’m here to inspire you to come out of this as better humans, with more appreciation for the sanctity of life.

    You are gifted a life, this pandemic should awaken your soul, we are all in the same boat. The least we can do is inwardly assess our contribution to the world. What kind of humans are we? Who do we associate with? Is it people who make positive strides in life or suck our energy.

    Look at yourselves, really introspect deeply, some of you claim to be empaths. If you can’t help others at this time in some way because you feel overwhelmed then help yourselves at least.

    If we overcome this pandemic and get through to the other side, then do you want to be the exact same person?
    Will you have learnt anything at all or simply just survived and return back to your woes about being heartbroken? Will you continue to live half a life because of old wounds or are you going to wake up and reinvent yourself to be a better human and inspire the future generations by showing grit and determination to overcome and accept what life throws at you and excel.

    Your mind is a weapon. Exploit it correctly. Inspire progression, to be ruminating over an ex lover at this time is stupidity. A virus in itself. You are infecting and destroying your own happiness. So continue along this overthinking path and not learn anything from this pandemic . Or you can wake up and see the bigger picture; you are breathing, you are alive (someone is gasping for their last breath all alone without their loved ones) you have an opportunity to LIVE. If there ever was an opportunity for new beginnings and finding purpose to be happy it’s now. If you can’t see the happiness you have or my words don’t resonate with you to make yourself come out of this a better version, then all I can say is I really pity you.

    Wallowing in self pity will not serve you well. Self pity reinforces the belief that you are not in control. You are in FULL control of your happiness. Don’t just complain about your situation which you keep putting yourself in. Make different choices.

    Remain safe, remain focused and Peace out! It will be interesting to see how much impact my words had. This is not me being cruel, it’s a dose of reality which is needed for many of you I’m afraid.

    Excellent thread. If anything this pandemic should awaken each & every soul. The least we can do is inwardly assess our contribution to the world. What kind of humans are we? Who do we associate with? We are in control of our future. This will give us purpose.

    Look at yourselves, really introspect deeply.If As a human being how can I help others at this time?

    If we overcome this pandemic and get through to the other side, then each soul should ask do I want to be the exact same person?

    Wake up humans the time & opportunity to reinvent oneself to be a better human and inspire the future generations is NOW!

    I’m just finding a few threads to inspire change in peoples thoughts by provoking them to introspect. We are facing an unprecedented pandemic. Does this make your daily woes any less? No, but your mind is a weapon utilise it well and you can change the way you view everything. Right now you should be seeing the state of world and be thinking if I am the lucky one to make it to the other side..do I still want to be the same person? Will I have not learnt anything for the sanctity of life. There are people gasping for their last breath. You are ALIVE so let go of overthinking what others think. Love yourself and control your own happiness.
