  • What are you waiting for?

    What are you waiting for?

    When we find ourselves waiting for just the right moment, or that right feeling, or the perfect setting, or the ideal opportunity to present itself before we do something, we’re afraid of failure. If we know, with understanding and rational thought, why we are not ready for something, that’s different. When we have no real…

  • Rise

    Rise

    People that respect your victim-hood do so because it makes them feel better about themselves. It doesn’t mean that they are malicious or have bad intentions. But they most likely don’t even realise it themselves. In fact, you may be supporting others in ways that comfort you more than it helps them. When we find…

  • Embrace the whole of you

    Embrace the whole of you

    We often discard good advice because we don’t like the source.

    Do you know why?

    What we choose to respond to is a reflection of what is important to us. The more important it is, the more intense or passionate our response. Hence anger that bubbles over, or heartfelt pleas and messages to connect with someone about something. The tone and demeanour of how we respond is a reflection of…

  • The living martyr

    The living martyr

    One of the biggest hang ups in life, is wearing our hurt as a badge of honour. Our need to have our struggle recognised is born from the belief that we will not be appreciated if others don’t know what we went through. It is born from the belief that our shortcomings must be tolerated…

  • Own your life

    Own your life

    Owning your life doesn’t mean controlling every aspect of your life. Instead, it means that you are mindful about what and who you allow to influence your decisions and outcomes in your life. Like most things in life, moderation is important. Knowing when to take the reins and when to have it over to someone…
