Philosophy

I believe that whilst we are each unique we are all connected and subject to the same fundamental laws of the universe.

Present Perfect’s Rules for Life

Life isn’t meant to be a struggle, if we are struggling then this is a sign that something is out of alignment

• Maybe we are struggling to achieve SOMEONE ELSE’S goals, what I term the ’shoulds’ and ‘ought-tos’
• Perhaps we aren’t living to our real priorities. How many of us have taken the time to clarify what is really important to us and set up our lives to reflect these priorities?
• Perhaps all that is needed is a change of attitude, a review of our definition of success
• Perhaps if we showed ourselves a little more care and patience we would see that a few small changes would make all the difference.

Life is simpler and more enjoyable when we accept responsibility for everything in our life.

• By responsibility I don’t mean to suggest that we are to blame or guilty. I am suggesting that we consider cultivating the ability to respond; ie to be response-able. Until we take responsibility and own our issues we can’t do much about them, and we are left to be a victim or a puppet.
• The Law of Attraction states that we attract people, situations and opportunities to us. Life doesn’t necessarily happen randomly, but that at some level, we are influencing the experiences and results of our lives. It’s kind of like electricity; its hard to explain how it works, but you can learn how to use it. Think “magnet in motion” v’s “pushing a large rock up Everest”. Simply put, we get what we focus on. If we want to use the Law of Attraction to attract what we want, then we need to think of the Law of Attraction as the “Practice of Feeling Good.” Be Grateful For What You Have. When you are grateful for and truly appreciate what you already have, you will attract more to you.

Eat when you’re hungry, sleep when you’re tired Life isn’t meant to be a struggle.

True success is as much about enjoying the journey as it is about reaching our destination.

• Clearly visualise your desired future and yet don’t be so attached to the outcome that you lose sight of the joy and opportunities of the process
• Perfect the present:
  • clean up all the little things you are putting up with, the things that drain your energy
  • throw away everything that no longer supports you,
  • create the perfect environment to support you

NOW is all there is

• Death is inevitable; sorry to be so blunt. It may very well be that our essence or soul lives on after our body has gone, however, to truly live in the Now, we have to accept our mortality. To paraphrase Wayne Dyer, We came from NOWHERE, to NOW HERE, and we will return to NOWHERE.
• Let go of the past. The past is always in you, in the sense that it has made you who you are. Learn the lessons from the past, but don’t get attached to your stories
• Don’t live FOR or IN the future.
• Give up worrying — as my son says “I don’t worry Mum, it’s not much fun and it doesn’t do any good anyway.”  Remember, if you live with people who don’t worry, resist the temptation to do their worrying for them !
• Live fully in the present. Be grateful, be focussed. Enjoy the NOW for the gift it is, that’s why it’s called the Present.
