Do you like being told what to do?

 

People telling you how and what you should be eating?

 

How much you should drink?

 

Or sleep?

 

Or that you need to relax more?

 

Do you like being told what to do in any area?

 

Or does that make you more likely to just do the opposite?

It was, of course, half term last week.

 

I tried to take the boys to see the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie at Cinemac.

 

But it was sold out 🙁

 

So we had a little ‘movie night’ at home.

 

And watched Roald Dahl’s ‘Matilda’.

 

As they’re currently reading the book.

 

Those of you that read it when you were younger (like me) will remember Miss Trunchbull towering over the school children……..

 

Shouting “I’m smart, you’re dumb. I’m big, you’re little. I’m right, you’re wrong”

 

Even as kids, we hated that, yeah?

 

It’s why we’ll never tell you what to do.

 

Despite some sensitive snowflakes interpreting it that way.

 

We might help ‘call you out’ on some self limiting beliefs.

 

Some ‘stories’ you’re telling yourself that are holding you back………

 

From living the life you’ve told us you want.

 

But what you actually do is entirely your call.

 

You want to spend more money on your car than your health and happiness?

 

Your call.

 

You want to spend more time watching TV then on gaining the body you like the look and feel of?

 

Your choice.

 

You want to prioritise a few minutes worth of convenience over having the energy to do what you want with your life?

 

Your decision.

 

Tis your life my friend.

 

Live it how you choose.

 

But, just know, you have that choice!

 

 

Much love,

 

Jon ‘Mr Twit’ Hall and Matt ‘BFG’ Nicholson
