When you’ve no arm and you want to become a champion rower you need big help but that’s why Olympic champion rowers will always be attracted to your determination to win in life

“Pull like a dog!”

A dog pulls?

Of course, they do. Well, at least in Alaska.

Because that’s where the husky dogs pull the sleds through the feet of snow.

And they`re big dogs. Loyal dogs. They work hard and have to be fitter than many other dogs of their size. …

Siobhan Bernadette Haughey‘s success in the Tokyo Olympic Games aligned with a similar drive that her great grandfather had when he led his country’s government in the 1980s

It’s late at night as I write this but it’s also early in the morning in other parts of the world. And that’s the thing about night and day they`re completely different. Yet they`re all in one 24 hour period.

Like individuals in a family.

They’re all different when alone. But similar when together.

So the question is which makes them what they truly are?

But that type of thinking I`ll leave…

I`ve been growing all my life.

And I hold myself accountable for getting better every year I`m on earth.

Ever since I`ve been a child I`ve tried to learn as I go along. And when something went wrong when I was a child, of course, it was a tough lesson to take but I`d make sure I`d iron into myself.

When I went for a walk alone I`d say to myself:

“What have you learned now that you’re 12 years old?”

and then I`d have to think deeply about things and go back over the previous 12 months so I…

Life surrounds us with healing properties all of the time yet we will die.

It’s a strange thing but it is guaranteed.

But when we’re alive we never quite grasp how easy it is to heal ourselves at times. We complain of small things and never seem to realize that in complaining we are wasting the most valuable thing we are given in our lives.

And that of course is time.

Common complaints from many people can be that they have a sore back or an itchy feeling somewhere where they can’t seem to scratch better. And there are feelings…

Your Present Is Your Present So Enjoy Unwrapping It

When I was younger I was lied to.

Older and wiser people than me kept saying that:

“Life begins at forty!”

I believed it because I thought forty was a lifetime away and I was trying to muddle my way through my daily problems and figure out how to get out of school early every day without any homework.

That was a big stress to me at the time.

But the older people didn’t seem stressed when they mentioned how life was going to take off at forty. I immediately thought…

Death kills.

Of course, it does.

But when it does happen it usually is unexpected.

Because even though those that pass can be sick and you know they are going to pass away when it happens it’s different. It’s final.

They’re gone.

And when they pass away that’s it, you won’t see them again.

When someone dies it’s surreal.

If it’s a sudden death the first thing you and everyone that knows of them will say:

“How did they die?”

And it’s incredible how many times people ask this. …

There’s fact and then there’s fiction and then there’s life.

A factual story looks at what happened in reality. It can also be known as a non-fiction story. Whereas a fictional story can be made up from a writer’s imagination.

Either way, though I think we need to pay attention to a good story.

Because in each story there is a lesson.

Of course, if the story is based on factual happenings and it moves you emotionally you`re going to sit up and pay attention. …

The party ends.

And when it does you’re the only one who has to clean up.

But your twenties is about getting out and about and feeling that fresh rush of independent living and meeting new people all of the time along the way. So if live through it correctly it can set you up for a better life later on.

It’s a time when you`ve also got cash that you never had when you were in your teens. Then you may have had a determination to get out and socialize but you never had the finances to do it…
