The Tall Poppy Guide to Being One IN a Million

It’s entirely up to you – would you like to lead an ordinary life or an extraordinary life?  We all have the choice, it’s just a matter of deciding to take the steps required to put in the effort to achieve our goals, however simple or complex they may be.  

Our postman gets all sorts of yapping daily from our little dog through the letterbox.  Does it bother him?  Not a jot – he just keeps smiling and carrying on with his round.  One of our elderly neighbours, on the other hand, hates our dog (and just about everyone else!) and shouts abuse at her daily – he’s even hit her with a spade before.  He’s not a happy person, and approaches life with a big cloud of misery and gloom over his head.  His view is a very negative one – the rubbish collectors upset him, the council can’t sort out the roads quickly enough for him; council tax is a rip-off; everyone is out to take from him, take, take, take … one miserable guy.  He could change his attitude, but he has chosen not to and lives with the misery he creates for himself.  There can’t be that many more years left ahead of him, so I’m hoping that somewhere in his existence he has a giggle occasionally.

Choose to be the one in a million who makes the positive choices – your world will brighten instantly!  Give it a go.
