Life can be a bitch
I’m generally a positive guy. My glass is always half full. So when I’m faced with family issues. I’m the rock. I’m the go to guy that helps everyone. My father in law is ill. As the tests produce the info it seems he could be terminally ill. We have 2-3 days before we get a full diagnosis. So, I am reaching out for a little help to stay positive over the next couple of days to stay the rock I am considered to be by my family. I’m not looking for sympathy. Just some friendly advice.

@Bob Ellender sorry to read this. We all have our challenges. I guess what I am learning is that we all have control of our actions. I too, have been in the situation that drink & drugs would have drowned out the noise until it got so loud, I couldn’t cope. Now, I use the time I set for myself as time to reset refocus and review my next move

@John Black thank you. I have a morning routine that creates clarity on how to get through today and be better than yesterday. It works for me and helps me stay positive 👌

Burnout
Let’s talk about burnout. We all know that grind—working the day job, then trying to build that extension on the house, hustling every spare minute for the family. I’ve been there, and I get it. But here’s the deal: you can’t run at 100% nonstop without hitting a wall—physically or mentally. So this is your reminder: set those boundaries. The world won’t end if you don’t answer that email tonight. Your family needs the real you, not the version of you that’s hanging by a thread. Be proud of how hard you work, but be even prouder that you know when to say, ‘That’s enough for today.’ Your kids will remember that you were there, not that you answered every work call. So set those boundaries and protect your time. More to come on this, but for now, take a breath and remember: you matter more than any job.

I agree totally. Creating quality time for yourself means you have to set boundaries. I learnt the hard way. I took me years to realise what damage I was doing to myself because I had no switch off. Making a list of priorities in a morning gave me clarity and purpose on a life balance that has made me so much happier.

Let the fog fuck off
Who’s been out for a walk this week? Who’s taking steps to clear the fog? Who’s stuck and doesn’t know which foot to lead with?

Every day this week I have made sure I got out for a walk. Totally needed to as. things oh nofantastic with the father-in-law seems thingsgets worse day by day for him. Every day I wake up knowing I can be stronger I can do better and I can help him get through the pain that he’s going through right noon Ironically, three mornings this week I’ve had to walk Through fog. This has made me smile making me realise that even in the thickest fog all you need to do is see one step in front of you. Walking has become my ritual to getting clarity and believe life has more things to it than the problems it throws at us.

Quick one chaps
Had dinner with the family tonight. All of us round the table. No phones. Just chatting. After that, instead of slumping on the sofa, I chucked my wellies on and went for a walk. And honestly… that walk changed the whole evening. Head cleared. Ideas started flowing. Thoughts I didn’t even know were there suddenly showed up. It’s mad what happens when you just get out the house and give your brain a bit of space. No pressure. No big plan. Just walking. Those little moments of clarity? They’re the ones that move things forward in ways you don’t expect. I talk more about this — the dinner, the walk, and why it matters — in Friday’s podcast episode. Worth a listen if you’re feeling a bit stuck or foggy. Sometimes it really is as simple as putting your boots on and going for a walk.

Hi @David Sanham I did that this afternoon. Had a shit day. Didn’t want to travel and made excuses to clients and colleagues. That made me feel worse. Went for a walk. It was a beautiful day. I walked the river side. So wildlife and country beauty occupied my mind. Got back feeling good and ready to move on. Then round 2 happened. The father in law gets diagnosed with cancer again. 3rd time and worst one yet. Point of the story, I would have been useless to my wife if I had not have taken that walk. I would have still been in my pity party, and that news would have taken me to a lower level basement party with no signs for an exit. The walk gave me clarity that I thought I didn’t need. The clarity that stands out is my life is amazing, provided I stay aware of the gifts I am presented with. We take so many things for granted. Mother Nature came to my rescue again 😜 The news of my Father in Law being ill is devastating and I’m sure it’s going to be an ongoing subject on here. But the thought of how I might have reacted to the news and my wife, without taking that walk is unthinkable. Things happen for a reason, and today, I have learnt we all have the power to control our emotions. It’s how we react in times of need that count. 🙏

First of many
What a great coffee meeting that was this morning despite the technical hitch at the start. Well worth the time and effort and thanks to Dave for setting this up. I'd recommend anyone to ensure they join the next one.
