Maybe there’s stuff you don’t want to do, but you know that it’s good for you in the long run. Like exercising or budgeting or reading or cleaning, some stuff just sucks, and I get it. We feel like the effort we put into these challenging things may not yield immediate results, and that is…
We can make a lot from a little. Let that sink in… It’s a thought that I live by and I hold onto it with every strength that I have because it drives me to realise that I can make something of myself and pursue my goals right now, with the things that I presently…
Working towards something we cannot see or feel or hold is a definite challenge for us as humans. Our minds are wired to work towards certain goals we set for ourselves but we can often lose sight of these because the things that we are passionate about or enjoy doing don’t seem to fit in…
A mentality for achievement can be built on the grounds of self imposed pain and suffering. Listen to David Goggins speak of his experience and share his approach to growth. If you can get through doing things that you hate to do, on the other side is greatness. Pain and suffering will train us for…
Often times we miss out on the most beautiful things in life because we only want to work at our goals when it seems easy. What we forget to realise is that the most progress toward our goals comes during times of struggle – comes when we courageously face situations we once thought impossible to…
A stranger is someone who has never interacted with you or sensed your presence, equally it is someone who you have never interacted or communicated with yourself. There is something boundlessly special about that first interaction with a stranger. Something so innocent, free and uplifting. Whilst prejudice is a possibility, no judgement on your past…
The truth is, if you are too focused on the lives of others and the things that they are doing you will never have enough time to achieve your ambitions and dreams. Period. How many times have you scrolled through facebook, instagram, snapchat; only to find that you feel as if you don’t measure up?…
Once time passes we can’t get it back. The minutes we have now will soon be the days of yesterday. We NEED to plan – we MUST be disciplined if we want to be true to ourselves. A planned routine will work wonders for your confidence. A planned routine will work wonders for your confidence….
As humans we have a limit on how many things we can focus our energy on and still manage to make them productive. As a rule of thumb it’s about five – see Warren Buffet’s 20-5 Rule. This number might differ slightly from person to person, but this is not the point. The point is,…
Legend has it that he who is crazy enough to believe that he can change the world, is usually the one that does. Belief is the cornerstone of all achievement, growth and progress. Think about it this way…the creativity we have in our beliefs is what separates us from the rest of the world. We…
It’s the hardest day of the week – by far. But it can also be the most rewarding day of the week if you persevere. To be productive on a Monday morning is a goal many attempt, but few actually achieve. So if you’re reaching for that alarm clock to snooze for another 10 minutes,…
When suffering through loss or facing challenges, we can find it difficult to control our thoughts and actions. We may struggle to realise a perspective that can drive us to grow. I believe that this perspective comes from shifting our pain into something more positive – extending ourselves to help others in our most difficult…
Happiness is not a destination – it is a state of mind. It is my belief that achieving happiness requires a maximum effort and a full desire to accomplish your dreams at whatever cost this might come. You have to be willing to risk the loss of what you have now as a means of…
Often in life we seem to constantly dwell on our mistakes, on ‘what could have been’ or ‘what should have been’ and we lose sight of what we have right now. For some reason we seem to think that our best days are behind us and that we can never truly make up for our…
