New beginning - fresh start

So been long time since I have used a blogspot, actually come to think its been a while since I have written and have done new things?

like really its summer time, and I really have been doing the same old routine and yet it being summer I am not out there exploring or having fun?

its safe to say I have fell into a ditch (mediocrity) yes I know the one thing I hate and I am giving in to it very slowly....

my emotional having been very high recently and others can agree to, we are bored with summer with all this free time we are not ding enough, we actually want to get part time jobs or go back to tech to fill it in, scarcely having all this free time. yet we complain when we are back in education. now when i am feeling down or frustrated I am now going to ask myself

What is the opportunity here?
What can I learn?

obviously alot as i am writing this post

reason I am writing this new blogspot its time to goal set!

so this week :

spend more time with friends and family

do something new ( go to an spin class, etc)

Read and finish my book currently reading

Go of tv and fb (limit to one hour) like actually I have sat for 5hours on fb once, this is shocking that's like a full time job nearly I am seeing the errors of my ways. :(

Give myself a break

travel somewhere this week

go out on a date/meet and spend time with someone new ( yes I know this one is will be shocking lol)

read my Nikon manual to get better with my camera


so there's my list for this week time to start living a bit more.

these words will keep me going:

"there is no drive other than to live out lives of mediocrity"

I will not fall into this

Lets cut the crap! Time to Kill being busy! Time to live!

Hey its been 2 weeks since i have blogged cause i have been so busy :D = lies :)

hahaha anyway i am glad whoever is reading this that you had a great week :) also the reason why you are reading this is either you:

geniuely love me as a friend :`)

Curiosity gotto you :)

you know what i am talking about lets begin :)

like many facebookers BOREDOM! :P

anywho lets begin

first of lets think of how busy we are and we use this as a excuse! - saying this has become a form of bragging, yeah mate i am so busy so therfore you must be inportant in saying that.

"i have so much to do, im so busy i cant go out because i have this and that and i havent got time for that? sound familar!!

so today in church this inspired me to write this, Society is the downfall, we see this and we accept being busy and productive is how life goes, because society sees it as this!

working dead.....

lets be honest being busy is a idiots game! Busy is simply noise, action with out meaning and missing out on important things in life that matters!

Just STOP and decide TODAY!

so you might being seing a little more clearly relasing if you take all them little distractions out of your life, you have freedom! with freedom comes time for the important things in life, time to get back to focus,

focus of your goals

focus of your amibitons

focus of whatever the Hell you want ( dam i sweared, trying to cut down lol :) )

YO PAUL SLOW DOWN HOW CAN YOU SIMPLY STOP BEING BUSY!!!!!!!!!

sorry i got ahead of myself, ok by a simple change of mindset, just say im not going to be busy anymore, if you have to talk to your mates , close friends or family telling someone you are going to change is good, you have taken a step. (acountability) put it on your fb status, if that gives you determination to get to your goal, that is why i spam it constantly :P

but i have suceeded so far and it works for me that is :)

maybe your someone who says im busy and sits at home at night regreting that you should of went out but you said you were busy, when in actual fact your glued to you destop mointor!

maybe your sick of a part time job, and want to quit but you cant because you need the money? maybe you think you have to work for this money, money is not everything! you may be young get out there!

yes i can hear people already going blaspemy :) but fine save up enough so you can enoy your summer. but Paul i need money for booze ? so you are working part time so you can go out and party and get drunk that sounds like a good life....

i have heard people spending 120 pound in one night this is unbeliavable:O

maybe its time you decide whats really important them little distractions, thats fogging your vision,focus towards your greater goals.

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE DOING THAT ALL YOUR LIFE!

of course not, yes you can say to me its not forever, but you be suprised the many people wake up and reliase dam i have wasted my life so quickly! yes life will flash by before you know it!

It may look hard now, even impossible but once you do it, you have taken a step the biggest step you can,

What you really want not what others want!

thanks for reading this is me just writing this, yes i know some people will love to take a pop at me, so i wont write back to any bad comments :)

why?

it really seems to get on people nerves when someone doesnt write back, when demanding a explanation :) there EGO rawrs :) lol i havent a ego i just like putting humour in things.

Be critized for the small things in life, or the big things"

Thanks for reading :)

Training is where your life happens!

i can actually track back my own progress and the evolution of how i think about training. i am writing this because i so often step back from just looking for the next workout or excerise and get back to the PRINCIPALS behind why we excerise in the first place.

Training is not about Instant gratification. anyone looking for constant progress wont stick with training for long. The essence of training is the experience and what you learn about yourself while doing it.

Training is about process, not the outcome!

If your always caught up looking for progress, upward movement, or even in marital arts a new belt colour, you`ll be missing the most important lessons that are right there in front of you.

you`ll get there and theres one simple thing you need to do it is consistency!

When it comes to your physical training or marital arts or anything i mean anything!, you have decided to purse it wholeheartedly in your life, you should remember the same answer as Thomas edison:

"Theres no real destination, no end and certainly no merit for gratification."
( i fine these words so powerful,so moving inspirational indeed)

If your consistent it demonstrates that you have two very important Characterisitics( looks up google to speel that correctly):

Discipline
perseverance.

with these two attributes you cant be stopped from anything that you are seeking to achieve.

without htem you`ll never reah any goal that you`ve set for yourself. think about your own goals and what you`re working toward.

have you been staying consistent toward your goals?
have you been patient and do you always look for the lessons behind the frustration you may be experiencing?
have you attempted to be better at what you do each day more than the day before? have you been pressing too hard and thinking that you shud be fitter or have a belt by now or a certain mark?
well if you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to take the pressure of yourself and enjoy the ride.

like omg the carriot cake i ate today yum yum yum

remember the tighter you hold a handful of diamonds trying not to spill them, the more you lose.
loosen your grip on yourself and you`ll be amazed at the progress you may start to make.

Jujitsu time!

i`ve been around jujitsu and the marital arts for a long time,

so many friends and cilents etc as me why i am not a higher rank in jujitsu

the answer is revealed!

i may have been around it for a long time, but i havent been practicing it as much as i should. because of this, im content with my skill however if i decide that i want a back belt, i would have to be realistic about making the commitment to consistency.

but i am content with my skill like my idols greatest sayin:

"a blackbelt only covers 2 inches of your ass, you cover need to cover the rest"

truth is i am a cagefighter, fitness freak, nutritionlist and personal trainer and background in martial arts i may be all these things be say i am but truth is

i am Paul McGinley and that title suits me fine.

heres one of the most powerful statements that i tell my cilents.

where you are in life is excactly where you`re supposed to be because of the things that you`ve done up untill that moment in time. to do anything else butt accept your current situation would be crazy.

the real thing to do iis to decide where you want to go and then use both consistency and patience to get there.

enjoy the ride/ it is after all the path you`ve chosen in life!

i hope this inspires people to get back in track toward there goals may it be fitness/music or art any of that i hope this blogspot helps.

this is to my dearest of friends, as i start my new hourney with God i hope this inspires you as it has on my journey:

every journey sarts with one step, and all the steps after that are equally important.

for me : each workout every piece of food i put in my mouth, every breath i take they will all add up.

in the end you`ll see that there are no little things.

Now get back on the path and get to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thoughts on productivity!

"be Content, went little"



The new era we in (digital communication) we`re busier than ever. Yet in all our sound and fury, we seem to have no time for:








Whats important

Focus

For thinking





To find focus we need to rethink the need for productivity, just look at our cultures obsession with productivity: with the need for hard work and working long hours to get things done with the need to be busy all the time!

Juggling countless projects, accomplishing more and more...

But What for?

Whats the point of all that obsession? it leads to:

Burnout
stress
anxiety
unhappiness
greed
confusion

and no time for family, friends and most of all yourself

yes yourself,
I repeat this because this is one i am still accomplishing, trial and error if you will.

now i ask you what would you happen if we threw all that out the door? what if we said "i want to get the important things done, the rest can go to. . . . . pardon my french Hell.

Lets create a new way of thinking, take this hourney with me, a creed if you will.
Here goes:

Simplicitiy
purpose
focus
silence and joy

lets make beautiful and usefull things and love it.
Let our deep connection with another be seen to that special someone and take that leap of faith and rejoice!

With this new creed of productivity we can adopt some new principals.

the principals i said and are going to propose are inspired by books and people i have read and seen from personal beliefs and philosophy to peoples feelings.

all this has deeply imformed my life
( mind body and soul no joke dont laugh )

I end this post with a few quotes and sayings, while my head ever wonders in a void of knowlege, if you understand what i just said lol

Be content eith what you have;
rejoice in the way things are.
when you realize there is nothing lacking,
the whole world belongs to you.

If you realize that you have enough, you are truely rich.

when there is no desire all things are at peace

Because he/she has no goal in mind, everything he/she does suceeds

( these are just quotes i like and i know there argueable)

My Love

i have taken to the urge of poem writing tonight , so this is to a special someone, who really always makes me smile, and really comes in to my life at the moments in life i am feeling my worst,

i talked to a friend a while ago about something i said however i use it as a quote cause i was thinking of someone who really makes me smile, and my heart skip a heart or two hehehe :)

"what keeps me sane is knowing that there is beauty in the world and the people that i see"Paul McGinley i made that :D

Any who

Poem time I LOVE YOU

Your love is what keeps me going,

My heart beating, my blood flowing.

the precious words a yearn to hear,

losing you is one thing i fear.

i have faith in God will bring us near.

to me you gave me faith in thee,

together we can conquer all,

just keep our heads up and stand tall.

many others care deeply for you,

but i am in love with you.

i pray to god night by night,

talking about you,that if you knew

without you i cant be.

your in my heart, were never apart.

i feel our souls were latched from the very start......

-----------------------------------------------------

i really cant right poems but htis is a start. i hope you like it in some way of how i feel for thee, lol there i go again getting in to my poems again hehehhe!!!!!!!!!

My religion

so i been feeling down throughout the weeks and some serious stuff happen to me this weekend whats made me a bit sad, but after a great time at church and in the company of friends, i picked myself up, there kindness there smiles and wonderfulness i felt at ease. SANTUARY!!! :D

well anyway i have did some thinking and i can say about what i have learned about religion and God is Kindness.

some words got to me today and i mean really, even though the conversation was on women, but when Alan scott got up and said "god welcomes everyone and outcasts, there are no outcasts in Gods kingdom everyone is welcomed" it wasnt said excactly like that but you get the picture this really gave me a sense of security.

anywho

back to the point why i am writing this blog and it is , what is my religion?

My religion is kindness :D yes thats how i see myself in religion:)

time i come to reality, only time i feel good is church and helping others, is this my curse always being caring who knows :)

KINDNESS

Can guide interaction you have with others, can guide your life work, give meaning to you life ( i feel it everyday), what you eat and even your love life and social life,

Kindness can guide in eveything, all else will melt away if we let go and only have love for each other and one another. ( i try my best)

maybe i should let people be kind to me and help me instead of me just fighting with my struggles and he;ping others ( even commit myself to someone i cant get of my mine), who knows maybe its about time i accept the hand of help from another or the hand of love :)

SO ANYWAY Religion:

Golden rule "treat others as you`d want to be treated"

when we react to others with anger or meanness or even feel that way towards ourselves, you are putting yourself in a bad mindset and feel horrible for a hour, this hour can kill you, yes kill you maybe not physically, but spiritually. ( well thats how i feel it does)

when this happens i feel empty, abandoned a void that needs filling, i have found religion and God is the hand ready to grasp mines to forgive all and fix/comfort my worries, to make me feel at one again to restore my body mind and very soul.

a friend sent this to me that made my mood at ease it really is beautiful....

"When God leads you to the edge of the cliff, trust him fully and let go, only one or two things will happen, either he`ll catch you when you fall, or he`ll teach how to fly"

to me this tells me one thing no matter what happens in life he will always be there for you no matter what , i feel better knowing this, i really am starting to feel religion is the answer, i know i have only being going for two weeks now , but i have never felt this way or happier in my life.

as promised every week i will put up at least one blog :)

i leave this blog saying one last thing

"Wherever there is a human being there is a opportunity for kindness"

Hopefully i have to kindess to repay God next week and put my hand in the air and commit to God fully..

Thanks for reading

i know know my problems will come back soon but least for now i am at ease.

Suffering: fighting with myself

Hello,

It has been a while since i have written a blog, but i have been fighting with myself for a while so i think what my title is best way to describe what has been happening with myself,

But! as a great saying "Every set back, is a oportunity waiting" i feel what i have gone threw and still is a good way to comfort others or help in any way a tall.

So with out any drama hear goes:

To give comfort and knowing your not alone,

We all go through despair,Doubt, Frustration, insecurity and every other feeling you could think of.

Time will heal the heart - what a interesting saying but if you think back in your past when you were feeling down and lonely you eventually did move on.

do you remember your first break up, you felt like hell but let this strengthen yourself, because you can get through it and you did!

there is a hidden lesson to learn very hard, something i still cant explain but you feel you know there is.

I cant stress enough dont let problems get to you, fall outs or betrayal,

A person today said theres a battle going on inside ourselves i do belive that everyday with me, maybe for others its every so often etc. BUT WE ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!!!!!

We need to strengthen ourselves by UNVERSIAL LOVE

what do i mean about this, this is what i took from a great talk, that comes from the heart not my mind .

hear here it is:

"Give love when you fell theres nothing in you to give and give people the benefit of the doubt"

Yes i never talked to people cause i let stupidty and what my friends told me about someone get to me.

so i am now saying dont let others live your life, chose for yourself life is SO SHORT and its your LIFE!!!!!!!!!

im proud to say i have grown stronger in the last 6 months than in my life than i have ever in my life.

But by doing this critizism has came my way and the feeling of lonelyness

BUT I SEE THE REAL PICTURE, if you look at great great people from Michael jordon to Henry Ford, to artists to musicans they were alone no one belived in them, but look at them now they succeeded through hardship and neglect.

So a feeling of lonelyness is the right path, Even Jesus was alone no one believed in his ways if he gave up, there wouldnt be great great people that inspired others.

This feeling is like what the guy said today in a great speech, DO YOU REALLY WANT IT DO YOU!!!!!!

ask your self do you went to succeed in something do you, pay the price reap the rewards

Law of attraction i belived, that led me to great people, beautiful wonderful people, inspirational that my Heart skips a beat.

Now religion, i ran from it i acted a prick and as being falsy led by leeting other people i let go control me and poison my mind.

i entered the vineyard today and you know what i have said many a times there are people in this world that are Briliant and to put it in easier terms peopl who see life differently. i Have never been a holy man but when i walked into the vineyard by GOD not only did i fine a few great people but a pack or colony. SO inspiring so passionate such a strong feeling of safety , kind of like when you were born crying and had no security but your mum like that.

i am a sinner But i am now a beliver, i know people will read this and go omg another regilous nut, i dont care i am speaking the truth and i do not care being judged.

"Be Critised For the small things in life or the big things"

If life has gone sour on you, cherish your experiences and release you have an exciting new path ahead of you.

opportunities come to those who open themselves and those who see choices in al situations, particular the challenging onee.

Most great people are made/born by trial and error - i can say i am still learning.

SO instead of playing the victim, listen to your inner self, chose to change cause only you can change yourself! - I promise you your personal growth will skyrocket!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a balance in the universe, each negative experience there is a postive outcome within it.

SO I OPEN MY HEART TO EVERYTHING LET PEOPLE>FRIENDS>EXPERICENCES>HARD SHiPS AND FINALLY A NEW ONE GOD GUIDE AND PROTECT ME AND HELP ME THROUGH MY TRIAL AND ERRORS

i release now that my most challenging life problems and more to come i wouldnt trade any of them for anything as they are what will make me stronger and a better person and eventually a great guy.

I am still fighting with myself on terms i cant explain i dont know why i just cant trust in someone.

so there is some saddness in what i talk about, but i feel good sharing this blog wherever you are or decide to read this

i really thank you for taking the time for reading this

Also thanks for being patient for reading this i suffer from a type of dyselix, so my grammar and words are hard to read and understand.

:) thank you

Essence of understanding (my belief)

understanding a sense of feeling a higher meaning, how can i describe this high energy and postive feels that seems to be shining on me and others that is un-explainable.

some say many things from beliefs to religions i say listen to this and reflect:

this is the way i feel this inner feeling this searching......

poem time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Self is everywhere, shining forth from all beings,
vaster than the vast, subtler than the subtle,
unreachable, yet nearer than breath, than heartbeat.
Eye cannot see it, ear cannot hear it nor tongue
utter it; only in deep absorption can the mind,
grown pure and silent, merge with the formless truth.
He who finds it free: he has elf:
He has solved the great riddle; the heart if forever at peace.
Whole, He enters Whole, His personal self
Returns to its raiant, intimate, deathless source.
As rivers lose name and form when they dissapear
into the sea, the sage leaves behind all traces
When he disappears into the light. Perceiving the truth,
He becomes the truth; he passees betond all suffering,
Beyond death;all the Knots of his heart are loosed
