What Is HAPPINESS?
Interview with Snooker Champion Ronnie O'Sullivan

Hi everyone
I have a great pod-cast for you to listen to. Here I am interviewing World Number One Snooker player, Ronnie O'Sullivan.
I spent two years working with Ronnie and it was some of the most rewarding work I have done to date. Ronnie is nicknamed "The Rocket" due to his rapid playing style. He has been world champion on three occasions and is considered by many fans, critics and fellow professionals as the most naturally talented player in the history of the game.
In this interview we discuss Ronnie's approach to health fitness and weight loss and also discuss the components it takes to be successful and a winner in what ever you do.
Please let us know what you think of this pod-cast and if you find it useful. I will personally pass on any comment to Ronnie
PLEASE SEND THIS ON TO A FRIEND:

Shane Lynch - Life is what you make it

I recently was a TV a programme on BBC1 that Shane Lynch was on. Who is Shane Lynch? Well seven years ago he was one fifth of chart topping Irish boyband Boyzone.
Shane has been on a bit of a journey of self discovery. He was kicked out of school at 14, Shane was a real problem child. But he proved his critics wrong by rising to fame with Boyzone.
To the outside world Shane had it all — everything and anything money could buy. At the height of his success with Boyzone, he should've been the happiest man alive with a string of No 1 singles, albums and sell-out tours. But, he wasn't. On the inside, his life was a daily battle of self-destructive behaviour.
He told me he had everything in terms of materialistic things — £1m house, a Mercedes, a Porsche. Everything money could buy, but he wasn't happy. He was quite lonely and was searching for something else. He told me that it's true what they say, money can't buy you happiness.
Shane was very much like me in being written off as a child, not for just being dyslexic, but also as a problem child not getting on in life or with the school system. However, just like me he not let this stop him from being successful and making the most of his life.
Shane told me that, "When you die, all that is written on your gravestone is the day you were born and the day you die. There's nothing about the stuff in the middle — the decisions you make and the consequences you have to deal with." He, like me, believes that life is what you make it. What do you reckon?
Bloke Breakdowns
I am on TV this Sunday morning talking about men having mid life crises early. The programme is on at 10am on Sunday on BBC1 called Sunday Life.
MID-THIRTIES CRISIS DRIVES UK’S MEN TO LIFE COACHES, SELF-HELP BOOKS AND YOGA
Some men are spending up to £2,000 on self-improvement.
PRESSURE to compete with the boys is leading British men to spend on average up to £2,000 on life coaches and self-help books to get them through an early ‘Bloke Breakdown’, a study reveals today.
Three in four (72%) men say they now feel expected to achieve more at a younger age, and over half (57%) feel pressure to keep their looks – meaning the 40s mid-life crisis is now being replaced with ‘Bloke Breakdowns’ amongst thirtysomethings.
But according to a recent study, career sabbaticals (56%), yoga (39%) and self-help books (35%) have overtaken sports cars and shiny shirts as the hallmarks of a male crisis.
Seven in ten (71%) men claim life crises are hitting earlier than ever, with over half (51%) identifying the thirties as today’s crunch point – and comparing themselves against high-achieving friends (53%) and ever younger celebrities (20%) contributes.

28 steps to a better life
Hi there everyone,
As you may or may not know the magic number for my weight loss programme is 28, as it takes about this number of times of doing something new for it to become a habit.
I have put together 28 steps to a better and happier life. Have a look through and see what you think;
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Live with the 3 E's -- Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
4. Play more games than you did in 2007.
5. Spend time with people over the age of 70 and under the age of 6.
6. Dream more while you are awake.
7. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured.
8. Drink plenty of water.
9. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
10. Clear clutter from your house, your car, your desk and let new and flowing energy into your life.
11. Don't waste your precious energy on gossip, OR issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
12. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
13. Smile and laugh more. It will keep the NEGATIVE BLUES away.
14. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
15. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
16. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
17. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
18. Make peace with your past so it won't spoil the present.
19. Don't compare your life to others'. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
20. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
21. What other people think of you is none of your business.
22. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
23. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
24. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
25. The best is yet to come.
26. Each night before you go to bed complete the following statements: I am thankful for __________. Today I accomplished _________.
27. Remember that you are too blessed to be stressed.
28. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disney World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.
Until next time, take good care,
Pete
