Who would you rather see in the mirror?

Today, I wanted to create a different type of article. An article that requires you to think about who you are, what you value and how you behave. I want to encourage you to think about what success really means to you and who you would rather see when you look in the mirror. NoteBelow, […]

Just let go and experience your own peace

When you are hanging on to something which is truly bothering you, you need to just let go of it and move on. Deep down, we all know that this is some excellent advice. But it is so easy said and yet so very hard to do. Despite knowing that we should just let go […]

Principles for more valuable feedback

I want to talk to you about an email I received last week.Strangely, I think it was lovely, even though it involved somebody pointing out that I was wrong.Allow me to elaborate. On Saturday last, I sent out an email to some of my readers where I discussed the need to experiment with your time […]

Praise and Criticism: obstacles to happiness

When we are young, we are regularly exposed to both praise and criticism. This is intended to help us distinguish between right and wrong. The hope is that we will choose the right behaviour, the one which gets us more praise. This then leads to us becoming good little citizens who behave in the way […]

Appreciate to appreciate: gain the right perspective on the things that matter

Imagine for a moment that you asked me about my recent holiday to London. You would want to know what it was like, what experiences I had and how much I enjoyed it.How would you feel if, when I answered you, I spoke only about the Airport? I talked about the runways, the facilities, the […]

I try to live my life in a manner where all my possessions could fit into two large travel bags. Thus, if I ever decide that I need a change […]

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. Yes, you should have goals, objectives and dreams for the future. Yes, you should take action, each and every day, […]

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 […]
