Have Self Belief

Look at people who are very happy with life, or who have achieved certain things in life. One common feeling almost all of them share is self-belief.

If you believe that you are something, you may be right. If you believe you are not something, however, you are definitely right. When you think you can, you may be right. When you think you can’t, you’re right!

Once you start convincing yourself that you are destined to fail, once you start making excuses for yourself, your body automatically tunes itself to your mindset, and it will prove you right - you will fail! And then, conveniently, you go, "I knew it!" This routine, however, actually makes us unhappy and unsatisfied.

To the one who lacks self-belief, rejection spells failure, and a one-time failure spells permanent failure. To the one with self-belief, however, that is only a challenge. And he meets it.

Belief is an important prerequisite to success and happiness. And the first person who must believe in you is… you! When you do, soon, others will start believing in you too.

I believe in YOU!!!

The Simple Life

My mother found an old poetry book from our childhood.  It has some really great poems in and I found this one, which was so lovely and simple and because it was about cakes even better! 

I did try and search google for details of the author, Isabell Hempseed but couldn’t find anything.

RUFTY AND TUFTY

Rufty and Tufty were two little elves
Who lived in a hollow oak tree
They did all the cooking and cleaning themselves
And often asked friends in to tea.

Rufty wore blue, and Tufty wore red,
And each had a hat with a feather,
Their best Sunday shoes they kept under the bed -
They were made of magic green leather.

Rufty was clever and kept the accounts,
But Tufty preferred to do cooking.
He could make a fine cake without weighing amounts -
And eat it when no one was looking!

What a nice easy way to live!
