Hi guys, I hope you have all been well. Thank you all for your ongoing support and patience. Today I’d like to talk about my life’s meaning.
For about 4 months I was scratching my head daily asking myself, what am I here to do. On this planet. So of course I kept listening to my motivational videos and one guy said to spend 20 minutes in the morning in deep thought and ask those questions.
So every morning I woke up and asked the universe or god. Whatever it is you believe. But I just flat out asked. What am I on earth for? What am I supposed to do?
For a while I got no answers that I liked and one morning I had a thought. It was like a whisper. You need to focus on your kids. That voice got louder every day.
So I started spending a lot more time with them. I started reading occupational therapy books and speech therapy books and tried to learn as much as I could about how I can help them.
You see when I found out about my daughters diagnosis. I broke in a way I can’t describe. I went really bad for a while and then one day I got that angry I decided to turn my pain around and use that energy rather than let it use me.
I’ve said it before. I had read 1 maybe 2 books in my whole life before this point. Since then I have read atleast 50 books. Just 40 minutes per day. In 2 years from now that will be 100 books. Every book I read I learn more and more and become more aware.
Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had my bad days and weeks but I then try to get back up. I just keep plugging away at it. Going forward I’d like too share in my blogs some of the books I’ve read and what I’ve learnt from them.
But going back to my kids. The relationship I have with them now is unbelievable. My baby girl adores me and I love her and my son so much and I’m sure most parents understand what I mean. She is still non verbal but lately I’ve noticed it sounds like she’s trying to talk. That gives me so much hope.
I now truly believe she will one day, hopefully soon start talking. My daughter is 5 and a half and my son just had his 18th birthday and I’m so proud of him. At his age I was a complete stuff up. I look at him and am so proud of the young man he is. He is a truly good person. He has a great soul.
Guys if you have any good book recommendations that you’d like to tell me about can you please post it in the comments below. I’m always looking for new good books to help me improve everyday.
Also if you have any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you so much for your time and please stay safe.
I love this quote and can see so many things in my everyday life so much better now as then I came across this quote and it all makes sense now. What a beautiful quote.
I know I do blog posts but from time to time I’m going to share some of my favourite quotes and it starts with this one amazing quote.
Hi guys, you have probably wandered where I have been and what’s happened. But I decided to have a break and go on a bit of a spiritual Journey of my own. Personally I think it’s important to do this from time to time. That’s my opinion anyway.
My spiritual Journey had more do with the questions. Why am I here on earth. What do you want me to do? What is my purpose in life. Now I know I’m going to help a lot of people turn there pain or trauma around and be the best version of themselves.
I have read a lot more books. One was mans search for meaning. Great book. Actually one of the best books I’ve read. I will apologise for stopping my blogging but I needed that time to answer the above questions.
I will keep blogging now going forward but I just needed that time. The best thing I should have done was thank you all for your support and let you guys know that I was going on that spiritual break so I apologise for that too. I’m still learming
3 years ago I was homeless and now I’m doing really well and going forward I’d like to share what I’ve learnt from a different vantage point. One of them is patience.
I started asking those questions above every morning but I needed time and patience because you don’t get the answers straight away. You have to be patient. And it’s an inner voice you hear and it’s almost like a whisper. Like I said I’ll go more into detail in the following blogs.
This is just a blog to say sorry and thank you for all your support in the past and I hope to share my ideas with you guys going forward and talking about ideas.
Thanks again guys and I’ll start my blog posts going forward very soon. I’m working on my next one now and when it’s done I’ll publish it straight away.
Thanks again and stay safe guys. Take care for now 😊.
Hi guys, I hope you’re all doing well. Again, thank you for following me, I really appreciate the support. In my last post I spoke about discipline and at the end of the post I said I would talk about the 3 ways to make money. I have not done any posts for a couple of weeks as I’ve been in a slump which I’m now just getting out of. So instead of talking about money in this post I’m going to talk about how to get out of a slump. I’ve done it a few times over the past 2 years.
If you’ve read all my posts you would know that both of my kids have disabilities. One has Cerebral Palsy and my other child has Autism.
I’m not going to lie, I’ve been feeling a bit low lately and the isolation isn’t helping either (which I’m sure many people can relate to, after all, this has been a global experience). I’m slowly getting out of my slump and I’m going to explain how I do it, so that hopefully it can help you when you’re having a down period.
First of all I start just doing some easy things that work for me that I enjoy. Like walking and listening to motivational videos on YouTube. I don’t walk too hard or fast, I just walk and breathe and take it easy. This is more to relax than to exercise. I then do a little bit of reading, about 20 minutes. These little things help clear my mind and help boost my self esteem and mental health.
The other one is the big one that helps me the most. That is to help somebody else. It takes your mind off yourself for a while and when you’ve finished helping them you feel a lot better.
Currently my uncle is going through a tough time and needs to move houses as he and his kids hate where they live. My niece actually cried and that just made me go into a different mode. Now I’m on a mission to help get them out of there and this has already brought me out of my slump to have a goal, especially when others are relying on me.
They live in an apartment building with no backyard and the kids feel stuck inside as there are a lot of drug addicts in the area and the kids feel scared to go outside. I believe I can help them find a rental in a nice neighbourhood with a backyard so my Uncle can breathe easier and the kids can play outside.
So my uncle and I sat down with a piece of paper and wrote down his finances and created a budget that will allow them to be able to afford to move within 2 months. I will help him move his furniture and belongings. Then they will be living better lives and I will feel good because I helped them get out of where they are and I will also feel good when I see them happy.
But also in the meantime I have climbed out of my slump and am back doing all my daily disciplines again. I had about a week where I did not do much as I had lost motivation. Now, by taking action, I feel back to a better me.
So this post was about how to lift yourself out of a slump and these are the steps I took to do it. I helped somebody else and took my mind off the things that were bringing me down and I also did things that I know make me feel better rather than staying where I was watching TV and feeling sorry for myself. I’ve now snapped out of it and I’m ready to go again.
I really hope these tips and any tips in my blogs can help you. After all, the reason I started blogging was to help people that have been broken to recycle their pain and take their lives to a whole new level.
I really want to thank you so much for following me, I am very grateful. Please feel free to ask questions or leave a comment down below. I hope you’re doing well and thank you again 😀
Hi, thank you so much for reading this blog and my previous blogs, I am very grateful. A lot of people now know about the Law Of Attraction but there are many other laws and the one I want to talk about today is the Law of Increase.
The Law of Increase is based on gratitude and praise. I believe we all want to increase our health, wealth, love for others and many more things. To do this we need to be grateful and praise. See the more we are grateful, the more we will have to be grateful for.
I remember playing football and I had a coach that used to yell at me and run me down all the time to the point I wanted to quit and walk away. I hated playing for that coach. I tried my hardest for that coach and I had just had enough of the abuse.
I then left and found a new football club and I had a coach that praised me and congratulated me more than ever and I not only loved playing for him, I actually became a better player. See, he praised me and in turn increased my confidence and it also increased his teams performance and my own performance. I was so happy playing for him and that team.
That is one way the law of increase works but it works with everything. You see if you want your wife or husband to love you more then praise her or him. Try to find 5 things per day you can praise them for and in return you’ll get more love back. Do you know your marriage could be saved if you just did that.
Try this with your kids. Make a conscious and determined effort to find 5 things per day that they did well and tell them how proud of them you are. They will start doing more and more things that are good to make you even prouder. I know this sounds basic but it’s true. Even if your child does something and doesn’t do it well make sure to tell your child you are so proud that they tried and that they’ll get even better next time. But make sure you let them know you are extremely proud that they tried! That’s very important. That alone will make them feel good and will try to do better next time. It’s healthy for your kids to know you’re proud of their efforts and not just their results.
Always try to look for the good or positive in everything. I challenge you to do this for 30 days and see what happens. You will thank yourself later because those kids, wife or husband will start doing more and more to make you proud of them and love you so much more than you can imagine.
If you continue to do it for 90 days you will start doing it subconsciously and that comes from the heart. That’s where the true magic happens. This stuff is so basic but so misunderstood. If we are going to change habits we need to do it for 90 days straight and that creates a habit and that’s when you start doing it subconsciously and not consciously.
Especially with your kids. You will teach them good habits for when they become parents. It’s very important that we know this works. Then they will do this with their kids and wife or husband and you see we can pass on great habits for generations. This is how true change in the world can happen. By praising your family it brings happiness to them and the things they do and I can guarantee you just want your family to be happy.
You see I’ve been praised many times for my blog posts because they have helped people and it just makes me appreciate that so much that I want to give more. I want to share more. I want help more. So again, thank you so much to all my followers and people that have praised me because I’m loving what I’m doing.
From what I’ve learnt, I am always looking for the good in everything. When I see it, I praise it. I show my gratitude. I tell the person what they have done that’s good. If you put good out there, you will get good back.
Think of this for a moment. If you point out the bad in people then you’re going to get anger and resentment and people thinking bad thoughts about you. I can guarantee it. When I was at my worst that’s what I did. I was a very negative person and I lost many friends.
Since then I’ve reached out and tried to make amends and used this law and they now love me again. You can fix a bad friendship. Start to look for the good In people and then praise them. You’ll be amazed. It’s one of the laws of the universe. It happens with everything. I have leant so much in the past 2 and a half years and it has literally changed my life and I want to help you change your life too.
If you want to increase the good things in your life, then praise the good things and you will get more good things to be grateful for.
Please try this for 30 days and then if you have the time let me know how you went. I’m very interested to see if it helped you and your family or friends. Also if this has helped you then share this information with people and teach them this law. It can change their lives too. You can find me on Facebook by searching Jamie Recycle and if you ever want to chat in private send me a friend request. Thank you so much for reading this blog, I’m very grateful😀.
Since I read the book the secret and learnt about the law of attraction I have learnt there are many other laws that I have been studying and I will be sharing these laws as I go. They have changed my life for the better and if they can help me, I’m sure they can help you. So thank you in advance for reading my blogs. Also I now have over 400 followers so I would like to thank each and every one of you for reading my blogs and commenting and I have learnt a lot from you guys too. So thank you 😊.

Hi I’m Jamie, I want to talk a bit about myself and the the power you can get from recycling your pain or trauma. I’ve had two extremely traumatic events happen in my life. The first one was 16 years ago. That trauma was finding out my son had cerebral palsy. Now if my son reads this I want him to know that the depression I had through this time was not his fault. It was because I wished I could have his disability; for me to have it instead. I actually remember getting off the bus after work one day and I looked up to the sky and said “God please take his disability away from him and give it to me instead.” It got me into a massive depression and I had 16 years of losing jobs. Being stuck in bed for weeks at a time and it broke me. I felt so down I didn’t want to live anymore at times. And yes I contemplated taking my life many times. As time went on it got a bit easier to deal with and then I started feeling better. Then I had another traumatic event that literally broke me in a way that I can’t explain. My daughter was diagnosed with severe Level 3 Autism, completely non-verbal. I then became homeless and three days after I felt that pain, I had this feeling in my gut that I cannot explain. I think it was a higher power telling me to get up. That day was June 15 2018. That day I turned my pain into this extreme determination to transform my life. Since then I went from homeless and back to winning my family back; my wife and daughter. At the time I was doing a job I hated, it was minimum wage and I was always broke. I am a qualified electrician and had left the industry for five years. Using the power of that pain I made a DECISION to go back and work as an Electrician. Before that I always wanted to do that but was too petrified to do it. After making that decision I found a job as an electrician, failed straight away and felt down for a few days. Then I thought of WHY I was doing this and tried again and have successfully worked as an electrician since then and now I feel very comfortable working as an electrician. In later blogs I want to explain the power of your WHY. I will post more blogs around this subject as I genuinely want to help as many people as I can to recycle their pain and harness it to take them to a level in their life where they feel amazing again. I see so much pain out there and I want to help. If I can help even one person from my blogs then I will be very happy. I also want to note that I’ve never written anything before, blogs included so this is a first for me so please bare with me as I will not be the most professional blogger. I’ll always speak from my heart. Take care for now and I hope you read my next blog.
