If you are still having trouble working out your goals or just can’t be bothered because you think it’s too overwhelming, here’s an idea. It’s something I read by speaker & author Michael Hyatt. You can read his blog here. “If you could fast forward to the end of 2012, how will your life be [...]

There is no escaping the natural law: you sow what you reap. When we hear or see this “saying”, we automatically think of it as a punishment of some kind. But in reality, it works in all parts of life, even in the good. Below is an excerpt from a blog post I’ve “borrowed” (yes, [...]

Resolve to let go of minor irritations quicker….’coz the more you water them, the more they grow. It’s like with anything, the more you feed it the more it expands into something bigger than it is. It’s not worth it. Do yourself a favour, win by letting go.

A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog post where I said that I didn’t believe in “luck” & gave you the dictionary definition of luck. Maybe you want to go back & read the post I’m talking about here. Allow me to add to that. Disclaimer: I still don’t believe in luck or [...]

I’ve got to say that one of my favourite sports is snowboarding. When I was first learning to snowboard, we were taught to point our body in the direction we wanted to go (down the slope that is) & somehow, through the weight of my body shifting to one side, the board slowly turned & [...]

There have been many a time when I couldn’t decide on a certain action to take. Whether it be a solution to a problem, or a good idea, or a brilliant concept. When I freeze up & don’t do anything, I lose. Some fo us know this as analysis paralysis. It’s where we are stuck [...]
