Causes you to wonder what we might be determined do today, in protest to lower taxes. Creative bookkeeping seems punished more, the larger this government gets. How about end the over-regulation of our non-criminal / ordinary financials ? How about a standard tax percentage ? How about allowing the taxpayers (deductions) to select whom (disabled peoples) they donate towards; instead of politicians to elite groups ? How about this government handing back over healthcare to the charity realm ? Especially the mental health care asylums for the homeless. Red Cross, etc. Smaller government control = higher personal results.

Let’s celebrate 🎉 We rightly mark the passing of significant events, birthdays, weddings, religious festivals, but often overlook the small but highly significant wins. But how come you don’t know the date that you learned to walk and started to enjoy life-long mobility is never celebrated. Or the date of your first word. Or when you learned to ride a bike. Or swim. Or drive. For many people acknowledging the small wins on the way to achieving a larger goal is an amazing way to stay motivated. You are the person you are today because of a multitude of small wins along the way. Why do so many people overlook the opportunity to celebrate the micro-win? #celebratelife #goals2024 #No4thFloor

What happened to the UK traditions? The video below is the celebration of the three kings in my local village in my second home in Spain. I love how the Spanish thrive in the tradition of fiestas, every village , town and city in Spain celebrates this amazing festival , which is their Christmas on the 5th January. After a full dress re-enactment of Herod ordering the legions to kill the baby Jesus, the three kings arrive on horseback at the manger and present their gifts. Surrounded by actors in traditional costumes, adults and children with blacked up faces. The finale is a 9 year old girl hoisted on a wire from the 2nd story of a building dressed as the angel gabriel. The celebrations go on late into the night, with the three kings delivering presents to all the children in the village. I watched for the 3rd or 4th year in awe at their dedication and faith. In the UK as a child we used to have maypole dancers, penny for the guy, Santa floats in the street, Halloween parties, bonfires and fireworks in every garden., pram races , rolling oranges down the downes …..All of these traditions seem to have dissapeared due to our obsession with being PC. Imagine the front pages of every newspaper in the UK if you blacked up people’s faces let alone children and not to mention hoisting a 9 year old girl off a building or church roof. Have you experienced similar festivities in other countries? Or perhaps your business has traditions that have carried on through the years? If so why not share them here….. #traditionsandculture #bethebestyoucanbe
