MY A-Z CHALLENGE - Y FOR YOU ARE UNIQUE
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is Y is for You are unique, nothing can replace "You". The world we live in tries to tell us how we should look, how we should think, how we should feel, and how we should behave. People are so busy trying to impress each other and trying to be what others expect, that they forget who they truly are - or maybe they never found out in the first place.A TO Z CHALLENGE - X FOR XCELLENCE IN YOUR EFFORTS

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - X FOR XCELLENCE IN YOUR EFFORTS
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is X for Xcellence in all your efforts. The Dalai Lama cheated a bit with this one - but hey, no-one's perfect and if he can cheat then it's okay for me to go along for the ride and write about Xcellence and aiming for the best in everything you do.A TO Z CHALLENGE - W FOR WHEN YOU LOSE

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - W FOR WHEN YOU LOSE
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is W for When you lose, don’t lose the lesson. This is an important one because losing is always seen as a negative, but if you turn it around slightly you can see the positive aspects - lessons learned, wisdom gained, and knowing what didn't work so you can focus on what will.A TO Z CHALLENGE - V FOR VISUALISE IT

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - V FOR VISUALISE IT
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is V forVisualise it and focus. This one was a bit tricky for me - I'm not much of a visualiser. I'm big on planning and having my ducks in a row. I don't like surprises, and having a Plan A and Plan B lined up ready for any contingencies really appeals to me. Visualising on the other hand is more about knowing what you want and then narrowing it down to how you're going to get there.A TO Z CHALLENGE - U FOR UNDERSTAND YOURSELF

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - U FOR UNDERSTAND YOURSELF
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is U for Understand yourself in order to better understand others. For me this all comes back to being your authentic self. If you are true to who you are, if you take responsibility for your thoughts and actions, then you have a clearer perspective on the world and the people you encounter.

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - T FOR TAKE CONTROL
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is T for Take control of your own destiny. This follows right on from Stop Procrastinating - life doesn't stay still waiting for us to make up our minds about what we want to do. Every day that passes while we dither is a day we'll never get back. We may think it will take too much time to become proficient in a new area, or to learn a new skill, but if we never start we'll never know what we're capable of achieving.

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - S FOR STOP PROCRASTINATING
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is S for Stop Procrastinating. This one is something I've gotten better at as I've hit Midlife. Time becomes more precious as you get older and wasting it while you sit around twiddling your thumbs, putting off the inevitable, just seems to be unacceptable these days.

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - R FOR REMEMBER SILENCE
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is R for Remember Silence is sometimes the best answer. This is the perfect piece of advice we can take on board when it comes to social media. How many times have we seen a post thrown up by someone with a bee in their bonnet, that is just asking for a response.A TO Z CHALLENGE - Q FOR QUALITY NOT QUANTITY

MY A-Z CHALLENGE - Q FOR QUALITY NOT QUANTITY
The next letter of my A to Zen of Life (via the Dalai Lama) is Q for Quality Not Quantity. This is another piece of advice that can apply to many different areas of life. As we become more concerned with the legacy we're leaving behind, we realize that we need to invest in less and at the same time, put more effort into the areas we consider to be important.
