Everything we do starts off in our mind first…not in our behaviour. The way you think determines the way you feel, and the way you feel determines the way you act. So….if you want to change the way you act, you start by changing the way you think. To change the way you feel, you [...]

Want to live a long, healthy, happy, satisfying life? The prescription is: LAUGH —> & do it a lot! Laughter is medication & is the key to healthy living. Not just a smile, but those infectuous belly laughs. My family practices this each night at the dinner table. We crack jokes, tell funny stories & [...]

I dont know about you, but everyday I anticipate & expect good things to happen to me & for me. I expect new ideas/insights/concepts, preferrential treatment, favors, miracles, & breakthroughs. I usualy get them. It may not be all of these & it may not be in that order, but I’ve learnt that what I [...]

Yesterday I wrote about when you give…when you sow anything into someone else…you will ultimately & eventually receive a return….a “harvest”. (Read the post here if you missed it).

The only thing we cannot change is death. Sorry for the harsh opener, but let’s get things into perspective. Read this knowing I need to read and re-read this post more than anyone!…but I’m working on me to change. Everything in this world that worries us can be changed. Really. Money-less: increase income, sell some [...]

Thinking about time-management, I don’t think this is possible. I’ve never been able to make time stop. I can’t even stretch a minute. Time management is better translated as making the best use of time. It’s about prioritising our time. The key is to do the most important thing in that minute, & when you [...]

Life is so full of stuff that it seems no progress is being made. You may feel you have so many problems that you are getting absolutely nowhere. It’s important to be encouraged and know that even though you have a long way to go, you have also come a long way. The solution is [...]

Positive minds full of faith and hope produce positive lives. Conversely: negative minds full of fear and doubt produce negative lives, which can ultimately destroy you. I know some people who have been hurt so many times that understandably they don’t think they can face the pain of another letdown. Subsequently they refuse to hope [...]
