Do you have HUGGS? (Huge Unbelievably Great Goals) if not, it is time you did!

Do you have HUGGS?  If not, it is time you did!

What an exciting month May has been!

The biggest event for me was my youngest son, Sam getting married to the lovely Kathryn.

It was a superb day where the planning was second to none and everything went perfectly and even the weather behaved itself!!!

Watching the happy couple say their vows to each other was a moment of assorted, blended emotions. I felt a sense of pride in how Sam has grown to be a confident, considerate and generous young man, a happiness in having those I care about to share the experience and a sense of excitement that they have reached this milestone in their life-long journey together.

Also this month, my eldest son Matt proposed to his young lady Cara. The date and details are being considered currently and I know that their choices for their wedding day will be very different to Sam’s and I am excited to know how they will decide to celebrate.

These events reminded of a HUGG (Huge Unbelievably Great Goal) that I have achieved.

Over 20 years ago, I wrote down 10 things that I wanted to achieve that were important to me. At the top of the list was to bring up two boys to be confident in themselves, considerate and respectful to others and a benefit to their community. I know that between Martyn and I we have done that!

What an amazing feeling it is to know that you have supported and encouraged your children to find their way in the world and be their best. Whilst I knew this was the case, this month has reconfirmed it.

HUGGS are large scale outcomes and have the following qualities:


✅ They are long term (5 – 30 years)

✅  They are clear, compelling and easy to grasp

✅ They connect with your core identity and values

✅ They engage your emotions and you feel good when you think about them

✅ It may not be clear how to achieve them but as time goes on they manifest more and more

✅ They do not involve sacrificing the present for a possible future



Setting HUGGS can act like your North Star; the brightest star in the sky at night which acts as a compass to help you find your way in the dark.

 - It helps guide you when you feel lost or unclear which direction you should be travelling in.

 - When faced with a difficult decision, can help you become clearer on which route you should take.

- It can help you feel more confident to know you are making the right choices and why.

Is your North Star shining brightly?

If not, perhaps now is the time to get your telescope out, search the sky to get clear on where it is and how to find it.

When you set your HUGGS you will find all other choices and decisions, whether professionally, in your relationships or for your personal fulfilment, become so much easier!
