My eldest son (8) did something that made me very proud the other day.
He loves listening to music on the school run (40 minutes each way) and I’m always finding new things I think he’ll like.
The other day we were listening to “Live And Let Die”.
Both the Guns n’ Roses version and the Wings one.
I preferred GnR and he liked the Wings one more.
I put it on Facebook and the overwhelming majority of people concurred with my choice.
I told him this later.
And he replied with “I don’t care if no one agrees with me. It’s my opinion and I’m sticking to it”
Which I loved.
The wife says he’s stubborn like me.
I say he knows his own mind.
Not easily influenced by the ‘majority’.
Which is the way I believe we should all live.
You want to eat loads of ‘less good’ food and drink loads of alcohol over the coming days?
Go for it, it’s your life.
Do it because that’s what you want to do.
Not because everyone else is doing it.
Want to eat well this fortnight?
That’s cool too.
If that what you want.
Don’t “miss out” because you feel you have to.
Live you life however you like.
Don’t let anyone tell you what you can and can’t do.
What you should and shouldn’t do.
Decide what you believe in and the type of life you want to lead.
And go do it.
Whether everyone else is doing it……….
Whether it’s normal………
Whatever people with nothing better to do will want to say about it……..
Go do it!
Much love,
