In my latest video blog for teachers, parents, education and everyone who wants to understand a teen better, we need to realize what they watch, and what are their biggest issues… Have a watch!

You CAN Achieve it…. IF YOU JUST “BELIEVE”!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight I was walking the streets of New York after finishing a 5 course meal at The Four Seasons Restaurant and I saw Times Square. So I walked there and was just blown away by the lights and the ‘bigness’ of it. If you have not been there it is just amazing!

So here I was in Times Square and I was reflecting on the last fews years in of my life and also my childhood years back in Tasmania. I thought I would share with you this Video I took when I was there just encouraging you that ANYTHING is Possible if YOU Believe!!!!

Thanks…

I just wanted to share this with you. This is amazing and when you watch this, you realize how truly blessed we are living on this planet.

Watch it, this is AWEEESOME!!! One of the greatest ever video footage I’ve ever seen of this beautiful planet.

The events of the last few days, has really prompted me to send you a little note about bullying in schools throughout NSW.

• One student in every four in Australian schools is affected by bullying, says recent research commissioned by the Federal Government.
• Children as young as three can become victims of bullying.
• Kids who are bullied are three times more likely to show depressive symptoms, says the Centre for Adolescent Health.
• Children who were bullied were up to nine times more likely to have suicidal thoughts.
• Children who were frequently bullied by their peers were more likely to develop psychotic symptoms in their early adolescence.
• Young people who bully have a one in four chance of having a criminal record by the age of 30.
• Bullying is the fourth most common reason young people seek help from children’s help services.

Bullies crave acceptance

Bullies victims are misfits

I was bullied incessantly throughout my years at school. So I have included a FREE resource for you and your school to use and refer to, to help with bullying. This is something I did not create yet the content is good. You can download it HERE:

My recent Vlog I talk about being a misfit and how we are all created unique and beautiful. I am a misfit and there are misfits in every school. Misfits don’t conform,  they are not normal. But That’s A GOOD THING!!!

I believe misfits will change the world.

I recorded this from Sydney recently and it shows how your dreams and long term goals will NEVER happen if you can not even get the day by day things done that you said you would.

Enjoy…

Do you sometimes feel that no one really truly likes you?
Do you feel completely disconnected to everyone else?
Do you feel as if no one can understand you and feel so empty inside?

A friend of mine recently said that misfits will change the world because they do not conform. This is so true.

Being accepted is a basic human craving and a need that every person goes through. It’s a lot easier said than done to know that you are accepted. Being accepted does not mean that you have to fit in to everyone else idea of being normal. You are not normal, you are unique in every way!!! please do not forget that. I believe that the more you feel un-accepted by everyone else means that you were created in such a unique way that you just don’t fit into the ‘normal crowd. This is OK, actuarially I think it is awesome how different you are!!!!!

Have a look at this video I done in Vegas this week. I am such a misfit, I don’t fit in anywhere!!!

When someone has a dig at us we get down. When someone knows about a bad thing that happened in our past we get embarrassed. When we have a past that we are not proud of it can be a very hard to BOUNCE out of that and move forward.

I was driving back from Vegas last week and heard on the radio one of the greatest ever ways to rehabilitate yourself from some of the worst pasts someone could ever have.
