I started reading again of recent. On a more consistent daily basis. I’m reading a book called “Beyond Order: 12 More Rules for Life” written by Jordan Peterson. I’ve only just scratched the surface of what the book is about, but it explores the different ways that we find meaning and value in things. It…
Gratitude is one of the most wonderful actions we can express through our daily lives. It signifies that we are content with where we are and what we have. When we are grateful, we are not reliant on some external influence to change before we can achieve our goals, we are filled with the realisation…
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…
We need to be committed to whatever we desire out of life because if we are not, we’ll fall off track too easily, be distracted too easily and give-up too easily. Commitment is the cornerstone of what it takes to keep striving for a goal, trusting in a belief and continuing on a positive growth…
Anxiety can cripple you and control you and your day – but only if you allow it to. When we get anxious it’s mostly because we have a fear that something is worse than what it actually is. We amplify its connotations into something that seems monumentally more severe. Rationalise your thoughts today and try…
If you see something and you don’t like the way it is or the way it operates – seek to change it. Have the guts to stand for a world that you believe in. Einstein said, “The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.” Albert Einstein A…
If you have all these grand ambitions and visions of yourself in the future, you must get them out. They are your purpose in life. If you never work on them and build them up for the world to see, nobody will ever see them. Only YOU are capable of making a unique mark on…
There are solutions that exist to all the problems that surround our life and sometimes we just need to think outside the box and look at these problems from a new perspective. Thinking outside the box means being creative in the way you approach things. Seeking a new perspective means giving up your old metrics…
Do you ever get this anxious feeling that you’re behind or in some ways off track in life? Maybe your goals keep escaping you or they’re taking a long time and you get demotivated and disappointed with yourself. Then you look back to all the times you’ve failed or the things that haven’t worked out…
Maybe your choices have put you in a situation that is more pressurised than normal. You might have to complete usual tasks in a shorter amount of time or you may be tired from lack of sleep. Whichever you find yourself, you must grow and adapt because the betterment of your future self is at…
There comes times in life when we feel like we’re really pushing our limits. We’re trying to fit so much more into our day or our week than we ever have before. Over time we have built up more and more opportunities and we continue to take them – that’s a great thing if we…
In life there’s things I will not understand, not now, not tomorrow, maybe never. So how do I deal with that? What purpose will they serve me? That’s one of the burning questions of life – why do certain things happen and for what cause? Both good things and bad things. First I want to…
The greatest we can offer to this world is rooted in discipline. Discipline is what allows our true self to shine out through the darkness of insecurity and fear. Our creativity nature will blossom if we consistently place ourselves in the correct environments to grow and learn. Creativity is the use of our imagination or…

In truth, every choice we make is infinitely free. It’s a gift to have a free will. The decisions we make in day to day life often seem pressured and forced. We sometimes feel a lack of control in our choices because of the circumstances surrounding us or the situations we find ourselves in. So…
We often get caught up in our own dramas in life and we can be challenged by them. Some days they are worse than others, and that’s where we have to learn to consider our circumstances and their severity. Sometimes we don’t realise that the issues someone else is facing are twice as hard as…
The Mind: Our Greatest Asset and Biggest Challenge The mind is a wonderful tool, and you might’ve heard this mentioned this before – it can be our best friend, as well as our worst enemy. The reason why I am so passionate about mental health awareness is because many people struggle to understand their own…
There are a lot of times in our life when we will be unsure and this can manifest into insecurity and fear. But, why do we shy away from what can actually help us to grow? On the other side of fear is an unimaginable freedom – a freedom that says we are capable of…
Living with the stresses and burdens that we visualise in day to day life can be a struggle. We can constantly run through cycles related to fear of the past and can become asphyxiated by our thoughts towards our fears. This asphyxiated feeling is often a creation of our own. The mistakes of our past…
When you look around in society you notice many people, but how many of them do you actually tie no prejudice or assumptions to? It’s hard wired within us to make assumptions, but it can often be a limiting trait. Here’s how it works. You see a ferocious dog with extremely sharp teeth, is fear…
Sometimes there’s disappointments, letdowns or frustrations that don’t just affect us but that affect a large number of people. When the community share’s in a loss or a disappointment, there’s a shared dissatisfaction. This is both painful and uplifting. It’s an interesting fact; we must deal with our own feelings as well as worry about…
A tricky statement, sometimes a bit confusing and convoluted but it’s actually quite true. What it means is this – the fact that we believe we always need more, want more and deserve more makes us unappreciative of who we are now. To ourselves we will never be enough because we’re not satisfied with our…
In a world where we can often get frustrated with what’s happening around us and discouraged when things don’t work out we must learn to be patient. When we try and rush a result just to get the reward it normally doesn’t pay off and in the rare cases where it does, the fulfilment we…
Life’s short, so we’ve really got to hone in on the things that matter. The truth is, we don’t know how long we’re here for and sometimes finding our purpose in such a short time is a struggle. So, what does it mean to give time to the things that matter? Well, put it this…
The Power Behind Oprah’s Words These are some great words from an inspiring woman – Oprah Winfrey. Oprah personifies perseverance, and learning about her story is quite empowering. So when she said, “What we dwell on is who we become” it struck a chord with me and I want to share what I believe it…
This inspiring scene from the film ‘Facing the Giants’ personifies what it means to persevere, to trust and to have faith in our abilities. Sometimes just because of the way things seem or look we give up. We’re afraid to embrace the battle and struggle that comes with achievement. However, when we block the noise…
They say you should say nothing, if you have nothing good to say. But, what if you have something you’re not sure is good to say?What if that something could make someones day?Are we just to hold it, to carry it, and keep it locked away?If the words you have, you truly yearn to shareThen…
