Getting in control and creating space

When I find great content, I like to share it with you. I am a massive David Allen fan as I believe he is incredibly wise about productivity and personal organisation. I have recently been watching this Ted Talk titled ‘Getting in control and creating space.’ I believe it will show you just why so many […]

A noble lesson from the rose bushes

The negative consequences of approval seeking

Approval seeking is one of the biggest diseases in modern society. It has always been a problem but the advent of social media has only served to magnify the problem. I have written several times about the negative consequences of approval-seeking when it is driven by you i.e. your willingness to sacrifice who you are […]

That which you fear controls you

There is an old saying in life that ‘he who angers you controls you’.It is a true statement which we can all see the sense in. We modify our behaviour to react to the person who angers us.The same is true for fear.That which you fear controls you.People will do anything to avoid having to […]
