85% of What We Worry About Never Happens!



In a study participants were asked to write down their worries over an extended period of time and then identify which of their imagined misfortunes did not actually happen.

The results? Researchers discovered that 85% of what subjects worried about never eventuated.

Of the 15% that did.......79% of the participants said they could either handle the difficulty better than expected, or the difficulty helped them overcome a previous limitation.

The ah ha !!!!!

97% of what worries and distracts you from being more present, engaged and self confident is no more than a fearful mind trying to override your decisions.

What to Do in Cairns? Local Knowledge. Experience A Champagne Lifestyle on a Beer Budget

I love to travel (champagne lifestyle). At the same time I want be sure I’m getting both value for my money and time (beer budget). Better still I love discovering and learning from locals where the best places to eat, visit and experience are instead of paying top tourist prices. Planning a visit to Australia’s No1 Tropical Paradise AKA Cairns? If so I’m happy to share with you my “local knowledge” of the must see, do, eat and experience while you’re here. Arrival Arriving at  Cairns Airport  (domestic or international) you are approx 15km from town. First bit of local knowledge. Don’t try to walk into town. It’s too far and too hot especially if you also have luggage. A cab will cost approx $25. If you have Uber then the cost is approx $13. If you’re here for more than three days then consider hiring a car. It’s unlikely you will need a 4WD, as most if not all roads are sealed well maintained however with the heat and humidity; trust me when I say you will app...

Opt in" agreements every second year. If you are paying ong...

How To Create Your Own Financial Plan

Image
The best financial advice is simple, specific, relevant and achievable. So when creating my own financial plan and helping others, what are the foundational pillars I use to ensure we have the greatest chance of success? The answer. A combination of both skill and art. Just like a heart surgeon. The Mechanic and the Heart Surgeon A mechanic was removing a cylinder-head from the motor of a Harley motorcycle when he spotted a well-known cardiologist in his shop. The cardiologist was there waiting for the service manager to come and take a look at his bike when the mechanic shouted across the garage. "Hey, Doc, want to take a look at this?" The cardiologist, a bit surprised, walked over to where the mechanic was working on the motorcycle. The mechanic straightened up, wiped his hands on a rag and asked, "So Doc, look at this engine. I open its' heart, take the valves out, repair any damage, and then put them back in, and when I finish, it works just...
