What is Happening? (opinionated)

Posted on by T. Maxwell-Harrison

Let’s forget about the fact the country is in chaos, and has been for 2 years and wash it away with cake, alcohol and jubilations for the rich whilst the poor struggle to make ends meat.

Have a read of the above quote, tell me below how you feel about that. How exactly do you feel? Angry, scared, frustrated, sad, depressed beyond belief, miserable and tired, unmotivated, anxious, timid, sleepless, nostalgic or just plain ignorant.

The country (UK) is absolutely now I believe one of the worst places to live. We have at the moment the jubilations for the monarch. I will not call them anything else. They have zero power, and are nothing more than figure heads who have a position to act now, as nothing more than idles. Whilst the country sees millions struggle to eat, heat their homes, work or earn enough, soaring health issues due to poor health care from GPs and hospitals, the wealthy yet again blow millions of pounds in our faces. Guess what? That is public money being wasted. This entire weekend is a public funded event, the monarch survives off nothing but public funds. Considering all the issues it is extremely unfair for them to be blowing this money, essentially partying (yet again) to the public expense.

They are laughing in your faces.

I call for you all to stop supporting this ridiculous event and start to support the people who need it. It is the government, governmental bodies and the entire upper class who are in charge of public funds. You ask, well who is that? It is people, just like you or I, hiding behind institutional names and ideas. They are not superior, they are not better in any way. If anything, they are desperate, greedy and rotten soul-less parasites.

It extends beyond just giving them money, and ‘going along with it.’ You are supporting their agenda, their ideas of living. I will not have someone else tell me how to live, what to eat or what to do. Neither should you. Not if the same people are themselves completely ignorant to what they themselves have said. I say again, ‘they are laughing in your faces.’ Trust me, that is not an opinion, or need I remind you of the fact that when the downing street party was exposed, they laughed about it on television to our faces.

You see the agenda is simple, once you realise it you will hopefully wake up and stop feeding the rubbish that claim to act in our best interests. Have you noticed the huge wealth transfer over the last two years? Soaring unemployment, death and disease whilst the rich continue to live protected by bubbles and cotton? It is medieval to say the least. But then again, the institutions are medieval in every way they operate. They are literally stuck thinking in those old ways, so will never embrace change.

Help Me Raise Some Money For Charity

Posted on by T. Maxwell-Harrison

Hi everybody. So I have decided to sign up to a abseil challenge taking place in the Greater Manchester area, Stockport in March 2022. The location is to be announced.

I have set a low donation of £200 as I believe it can easily be achieved. All it takes is people to donate. All the money will be donated at the time of the event or before it if the amount is raised.

The more contributors the better.

I am also afraid of heights! Yes, really, really afraid, so this will be a good chance to grow.

Looking forward to this! Thanks for reading!

How to Dream Big?

Posted on by T. Maxwell-Harrison

How do you reach for the stars? How do you put all the doubt in your mind into the waste bin? How do you believe in yourself despite what other people think?

I want to share some tips which I believe can motivate you to chase those dreams of yours and make them a reality. If you want to succeed in life you must have passion and desire in order to fulfil your fantasies. They are fantasies only until you act on them, turning the dream into reality.

  1. Having A Plan

Having a plan is not to everybody’s taste. A lot of people like to work off the cuff and be spontaneous. But plans and rituals are an everyday part of life. For example, people never expected that a couple of years ago they’d be forced to work from home, but they adapted, they worked from home on their computers, completing virtual work. Now, working from home is common place, in fact I would argue it is itself a new movement. There is still need for office and office workers, simply because of logistics and product management and all sorts of physical business stuff.

The point is, what was once mystical and mysterious to a lot, became common place. They now plan their weeks based on this new situation for them. They may plan more since they have more time at home. A plan can help to visualise a way out of a situation and help you project your reality into existence. The plan could be as simple as, ‘do it,’ or ‘go and help the homeless,’ or ‘become a businessman.’ Each is unique and will be unique to the individual. One more point, the plan is yours and you should not let anyone plan your life for you, never.

2. Putting The Plan Into Action

Is having a plan enough? No, of course not. Having a plan, well developed and approved by You, is essential, but the next crucial ingredient is actually working that plan into your life. Take the home working, you perhaps plan your week around this, you implement changes like what you do on a Monday afternoon. What do you need to do to put that plan into action? Are you finalising a business plan? Are you preparing to buy that Porsche? Do you need to work out a few final details before you action the plan?

You need to be able to understand what is expected at this point, because many people have plans that lay dormant and then after ten years, they pull them out the trash can and decide to work with it. You need to action it now, or whenever you can, if you want to be happy now. There is a lot of reward mentally when you succeed. Creating a business can be satisfying, and with all the home working, there are so many options when it comes to virtual working and companies. Many people make a living buying and selling online.

3. Being Able To Develop and Create

Now, onto the 3rd step! You have a plan which you have actioned or implemented into your life. You can’t sit back and expect what you have done to thrive and succeed without continuous input from you. Dreams are big and they require a lot of effort and determination. You can’t be lazy when it comes to continually developing your dreams. A business can’t continue to operate and succeed without changing and developing, and you need to do it. You also need to create new ideas and new ways to enjoy and experience life and your plans. If you have gone stagnant on your dream, change it up, develop it further and create a new experience. Look at gaming consoles, look at how far they have come from the 80’s to 2022! That is massive, the creators and developers at those companies continued to develop with the times and technology, so can you.

You also need a certain set of skills and personal qualities to be able to continue and succeed. You need resilience and determination, you should be focused on your end goal and should never be satisfied with a finished product or action. If you settle when you have an online business, how will you grow into something more memorable. Sadly, a lot of businesses don’t aim high, and are content to struggle on pretending that they are happy with what they make, whilst inside the owner is scared to evolve and develop into something more, perhaps they are scared of buying a physical store, perhaps they are scared of branching into another area because they don’t have the expertise.

4. You Need To Learn

You can sometimes create and action and develop a plan without learning anything new. Take for example my recent purchase of two lovely red eye tree frogs who have settled in well and are very active at night. I had to learn about this new species, in fact I had to learn about frogs in general, then tree frogs, then this species, then its requirements and care and food, and its habitat and other things. If you want to have the knowledge you need to read and learn, you need to research, you might decide you need to embark on some variety of course of other to help you reach your goals. It’s not a bad thing if you admit you don’t know about something. When someone wants to start that business, they may need to learn about accounting or creating a business plan. When someone wants to learn how to fix their Porsche, they may need to do a course at college to save on costs of long term garage maintenance.

Whatever your dream, there will sometimes be times when you need to admit to yourself that you don’t have the knowledge and that is okay. Want to be a famous guitarist, but can’t play? You know what to do, you need to learn how to play the guitar. Your dream may be as simple as wanting to be a gardener and competing in national garden competitions. Whatever the dream, you can succeed, even if you are working from home, as the internet is the number one source to learn nowadays with thousands of online courses, a lot of them are free.

What do you think about the 4 steps above? Do you agree or disagree with any? There is more to pursuing anything than the above 4 steps, it takes character and drive, it takes a soul that cares. It is easy to sit on the couch and watch tv and eat potato chips, when you could be busy creating a plan and working towards the end goal. The amount of time it takes to succeed is entirely based on what you want, it is subjective. When you decide you have done what you set out to do, then you can say to yourself, ‘wow, I did it.’

Yes, vanity is a weakness indeed. But pride – where there is a real superiority of mind, pride will be always under good regulation.

Mr. Darcy. Pride and Prejudice – Jane Austen

A series of interconnected and yet subtle clues…

Too many people spend money they earned..to buy things they don’t want..to impress people that they don’t like.

Will Rogers – (Nov 04, 1879 – Aug 15, 1935 (age 55)

… there is a rising into the wild and coming back to the city whence they came from.

In the 18th century, England gained a reputation as the ‘melancholy capital’ of Europe and had disturbingly high suicide rates, which for physicians was creating a sense of a nation in crisis.

Whether heart or mind be branded by the same irons…

The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.

Jonathan Edwards – (October 5, 1703 – March 22, 1758)

Albeit there is now no colour

paths have unwound

in the alley of beckoning hope

comes to winters gale

fading silence.

God, that was easy.

I start my day feeling rather energetic. Realising it is my day off, I head to the local private golf course.

My friend, Buffington Long-Goose, eases his rear end into position, he’s about to shoot his ball through the eighth hole of the course.

“So, hows the job?” he says, smoothly swinging his hips side to side, hesitating. He lunges his arms behind his head and moments later the ball is walloped into infinity. It plops down a hundred or so feet away in the green.

“Good, just raked in over fifty grand sir Long-Goose.” I waddle my white Slazengers up to the tee and prepare my blue ball for its journey.

“So, did you recover the one hundred pounds?” Long-Goose says, whilst pulling out a small glass of strong smelling whiskey from his coat pocket. The sun beats down, and half the birds hear his slurping as the cool liquid vanishes and he tosses his glass to the rough.

“No. Rather unfortunately.” I prepare, bending at the knees, locking my crooked eyes on the ball.

“Do you plan to eliminate her?”

My aim is thrown off course, the ball speeds through the air and plummets down into the sand dunes to the left. In the distance I see the waitress filling glasses of water. God, that was easy.
