Life’s Inevitable Challenges Life will not always be easy. In fact, life will bring many challenges, often catching us by surprise.

Our Divine Calling to Shine We are called by God to bring light wherever we may go, whatever we should do.

The Futility of Worry If all we have is today, why should we worry about tomorrow or yesterday? For these things are not in our control, and worrying is simply a waste of time.

Each day when we awake, there is a silent call that directs us where we should go, what we should do, and when we should do it. It’s not explicit, it’s quite subtle, almost like a whisper. Deep down within us there is a voice that already knows what’s best for us. Our mind knows…

Building momentum in a positive direction is key to leading a fulfilled life, and it’s the stumbling blocks on the road to this momentum that can make positive change seem more daunting and confronting than it actually is. Our starting point (where we are right now) is a summation of all the decisions we have…
As we welcome 2021, we reflect on the year that was. One that challenged many mentally more than they have ever been. 2020 brought a shift in reality that was truly unexpected, which required many to change the way they perceived life, and ultimately challenged their worldview. When a year brings as much challenge and…
“The Great Mind De-Clutter” is a term I’ve coined to represent mental clarity, not just the prospect of mental clarity itself, but the process of it’s acquisition. “The Great Mind De-Clutter” is a term I’ve coined to represent mental clarity, not just the prospect of mental clarity itself, but the process of it’s acquisition.

You ever heard a song come on and it just changes your whole day? It’s like something remarkably emotional comes out of you – you may have never heard that song before but somehow you think you have – it’s pretty cool, hey? It just resonates with you. There’s actually some science behind it. When…
You have probably heard this one before, and if you haven’t you probably just don’t realise it! One of the most beautiful stones in existence and the strongest mineral on earth forms over billions of years in some of the most pressurised conditions. So what’s so remarkable about it? People wear them all the time…
Your thoughts always matter because they are what set the foundation for how you feel about yourself and others. Often we refer to it as our ‘self-talk’ and it can make us or break us. What’s important to understand is that we have full control over the way we think and exactly what we think…
It’s often difficult to break free from feelings that we hold towards certain people – with our friends, our family and other close relations. Feelings of resentment can build up if these feelings are suppressed over time and we can find it difficult to live our day to day life with the burdens we carry…
Compassion is to show concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others. It entails actions that are focused on lifting others up with the intent of improving their well-being. Compassion can sometimes be hard to show and maybe even a little uncomfortable. This is because true connection can leave us vulnerable and exposed. When we…
If you listen close enough, you can hear a silent whisper. It’s the man above, directing you to where you need to be. He might seem to work in ways, that sometimes don’t make sense, but how can something so grand as his plans fit into the realm of what we already know – get…
We all ponder different decisions at different stages of life. We tend to spend more time thinking about the ones that mean more to us – the ones that have more riding on them. It’s easy to sometimes overanalyse a situation and make it into something more intimidating than it actually is. Mark Manson makes…
I made a post last year emphasising the importance of acceptance on a day such as today. Acceptance of the fact that you are where you need to be and the realisation that you having everything you need right now. Feelings of loneliness might be challenging to face, but they should empower you – not…
Whether you’re religious or not, I think it’s important to trust that the world is set up to work in your favour. If you become ignorant of this fact, bitterness can often result, and resentment can build to the point where you feel like you have no control over the outcomes of your life. Like…
Learn your process and make it clear, because if you don’t direct yourself consciously to where you want to be, you will never feel the satisfaction of knowing that you intentionally put yourself in the place you needed to be. Circumstances change, and situations happen in life that challenge us in unexpected ways, but here’s…
Non-cognitive skills form the basis of how we respond to the tasks, activities and situations that encompass our day-to-day life. These skills comprise of things such as conscientiousness, perseverance and teamwork. I don’t think you can name one successful person or group that didn’t have either of these traits in large volumes. The reason why…
We often perceive mental health in a negative light in todays society. We hear of people suffering from things like depression, anxiety and PTSD, but that’s not all there is to it. We’re constantly reminded of examples of people who suffer from poor mental health outcomes (and for good reason), but we still should be…
We can find decorated through the history books are common message that continues to shine through. If you don’t make the effort to ask the universe for what you want you will never have it. This does not mean only ‘asking’ in the literal sense with your words, but asking in the form of action…

It’s funny how momentum works. The direction you’re moving in currently is the direction with least resistance. There’s pros and cons to the concept of momentum. If things are going really really great, it’s a lot easier to keep things going that way (provided you don’t become complacent). However, when things are not going so…
