I’ve been wishing, dreaming and praying all my life. You’ve lit the way for me to enable those wants I have to become real. I’ve never given any post so many claps before, so please feel proud of what you wrote.

You have inspired me to start a journal. I have a pretty one with faded rose patterns on each page. My mum gave it to me as a present. I’ve never used it because I prefer blank pages, or pale blue lines. Now is the time to fill those subtle pages with my best self.

I have limiting beliefs, but the main thing holding me back is the weather.

An Australian cattle farmer, we’ve had 39 consecutive months of extreme drought with little or no rain. It means no profits, spending our savings to keep our cattle breeding business going.

We’re surrounded by bushfires in NSW now. I have to stay inside our farmhouse because the smoke haze is making me sick with asthma and breathing difficulties. That’s the reason why, on a Monday when I should be teaching school, I’m reading your motivational words. Highlighting the fact that I can change my life through self awareness and being mindful.

Funny how I’m feeling a little better already.

Oh, treat yourself and watch some sports now and then. I think the new you deserves that happiness; sometimes down time is good for the soul.

Thank you so much for what you’ve offered me today Robert. I’m so grateful.
