12 Signs of emotional maturity

Emotional maturity refers to your ability to understand, and manage, your emotions. Emotional maturity enables you to create the life you desire. A life filled with happiness and fulfilment. You define success in your own terms, not society’s, and you strive to achieve it. Your emotional maturity is observed through your thoughts and behaviours. When […]

Detachment from beliefs

Beliefs can be powerful. When we adopt powerful beliefs and choose to live by those beliefs we can achieve great things. However, we must always accept that there will be people who disagree with us. Failing to recognise and respect the right of others to disagree can result in arguments and unnecessary stress. Some people will always feel […]

What you think of me is none of my business

What you think of me is none of my business. It sounds strange. Surely, my reputation in the eyes of others is my business? Most people struggle to come to terms with this concept. In a world where people virtually sell their souls for a glimpse of success and, television is dominated by a constant […]

Start the day with positivity

It stands to reason that if you want to enjoy a powerful and positive day, you need to make a powerful and positive start to the day. Each day tends to continue as it starts i.e. if you get off on the wrong foot, you are likely going to experience more negative stuff throughout the […]

Live in the present moment

So often, we let the present slip away, allowing time to rush past unobserved and unseized, and squandering the precious seconds of our lives as we worry about the future and ruminate about what’s past.

Attachment – the enemy of happiness

Because of the nature of the human mind, we can easily move between past, present and future. Unfortunately, we spend far too much time in the past and future. Mulling over past events offers little value. You may feel guilty about something you said or done or, you may be angry about something which was […]

Objectively assess your outcomes to learn from the past

I believe that things happen for a reason. If you are pursuing things in life that really are not for you, life will give you a little nudge to point out that something needs to change. If you don’t listen to that nudge, life will send you some pain to try and get through to […]

7 Authentic sources of happiness

In a previous article, I wrote about the factors which you may think lead to happiness but don’t e.g. money. You can read that article here. In this article I want to touch on authentic sources of happiness. The things which have been shown to be sources of happiness for almost everyone. If you are […]

These are not factors that contribute to your happiness

Happiness is the most important goal of all. It can seem unobtainable at times but when you find it, you realise that it was a lot simpler than you had thought. In fact, the reason you are unhappy is often because we overcomplicate things. Happiness is a choice. It depends on how you look at […]
