Success isn’t usually one big breakthrough.

More often than not it’s the boring stuff done well, day after day.

Having a clear direction, any wind is favourable to the sailor with no port in mind 😉
Commitment when motivation fades.
Consistency when nobody’s watching.
Add confidence, competence, creativity and the ability to communicate with people properl and you’ve got a grear base for anything in life.

Behind all that is the time and effort,no one sees all the struggle and graft behind the "overnight night" success.

I've always been different, I always had my own style when I was in my youth I was often chastised by other lads and sometimes lasses for not following the crowd for standing out.

I did things back then that are maybe nowadays normal.

I was fastidious with my appearance.

In the army i won awards for being the best turned out (dressed) soldier, I'd get pulled out on parade as an example of how to present yourself on parade. They called me squeaky clean or Peter perfect.

When I got my haircut I'd go to two separate places one was a ladies salon I'd get my hair permed with large rollers and then get it cut so it gave a kink in it more volume (as I have really fine straight hair) I'd then go to a barbers and get the sides and back shaved, then I'd go home and dye it myself because it was a look I wanted.

But most people just move through life in the same lane as everyone else.
Same direction.
Same pace.
Same look.
Same ideals.
Same destination that they never actually chose.

They never actively plan a look, a future a destination for themselves.

It's like being on a motorway following the car in front and hope somehow things will work out.

But every now and then you see someone like me takes a different lane.

They know where they’re going.
They’ve made a decision about the direction of their life.
Once you choose your destination the path starts to appear.
That’s the difference between just plodding on in life and hoping you'll get to retirement and all your ambition and dreams ate full filled or about to come true

Make plans, take the road less travelled (great book by the way) be different then youll know where you're heading…
You stop following the crowd.
You start taking your own lane.
The views often allot clearer you can see where you're going, you're free to swap and change lanes, go as fast as slow as you like and chose the lane and route that serves you best.

Dont be afraid to stand out, ignore the naysayers, be different, speak your mind with conviction..

If nothing at all.... you'll be memorable.😉

I love a good walk there's so many benefits non more so than getting the sun on your skin, natural vitamin D in its best form.

Don't believe the hype about suncream there's more chemicals that arent good in them than there are that's good, especially this time of year, you shouldn't be stopping the absorption of sunlight into your skin.

One of the major side affects of lack of vit D is low mood/energy, that meh feeling.

After a decent walk and I'm now in garden about to read a book.

Health body + healthy mind = Good life.

Some people think I'm mad when I mention the law of attraction and how the universe sends you signs called syncronicities...

Those of you that followed me for a while know I ran London Marathon and because I only had 9 weeks to train I bought Chris Evans book 119 days to go until you first Marathon and stared at day 56 or so... you also know I use a pigeon as my logo Keep A Hold because Dad was a pigeon man and it was because of his su***de i ran it in his memory.

Answer me this the top picture is a picture from my book case in the lounge...

The Bottom picture is a photo if Chris Evans TFI Friday...

I mean come on guys on my bairns life the top picture is NOT staged...

To me there's no explanation for this than its a synchronicity a sign from the universe, it confirms my belief, it creates even more belief.

Sobering thought but one worth serious consideration.

A week ago today we celebrated with also a touch of sadness the one year anniversary of Keep A Hold

In that year we've grown significantly so I'm aware alot of people may not know the reasoning behind this page so I've done a little video explaining it all and where we're heading.

Quelling the stigma of ill mental health and the promotion of a strong empowering mindset being the major objectives.

I also mention our sister page Reset and Rise you can follow/like that here

Most people adapt to be accepted and often times that isnt their true identity, don’t lose yourself trying to fit in.

Here are some realities of social dynamics.

Once you understand these aren't really personal just traits then life's easier to deal with.

People have short memories for your good deeds and long ones for your mistakes. Accept it and move on.

The crowd isn’t always right. Strength is thinking for yourself.

Not everyone deserves access to your vulnerabilities. Share wisely.

Attention isn’t connection. Know the difference.

Every room has a pecking order. Stay grounded, don’t get dragged into ego battles.

What people criticise in you is often what they can’t face in themselves.

Not everyone will understand your pain. That doesn’t make it invalid.

Awareness changes everything. Once you see it, everything changes.

Protect your peace. Protect your standards. Protect your integrity.

Above all just do unto others as you'd have others do to you, I always suggest if you'd not do or say it to your Mam then leave it be.

Highly recommended giving this a watch.

If it impresses you then guess what Scott Stewart - Man In The Mirror and I are holding An Introduction to NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) by Reset and Rise ! This is what he's all about.

Join us for a day full of techniques, theory and hands on experience in what this man has used to build a 9 billion dollar a year business....

We're not suggesting you'll do that after it but nothing is impossible.

Master your mind, create your future.
