We all live in a bubble of our own creation. We have set our own boundaries, locked in our parameters and established our limitations. We have our own comfort zone. Inside that zone we can have reasonable control over our own doubts and fears. Outside that zone lies the unknown. We are where we are … Continue reading Making The Most Of Today →

Belief in the lie of limitation prevents us from realising our true potential. But we are enough if we allow ourselves to be so. The world around us conspires to convince us of our own inadequacy and to point out our failings. It's when we compare and contrast the person we are with the people … Continue reading The Lie Of Limitation →

The single greatest risk we face in a world driven to distraction by distractions is that of losing touch with ourselves. It's all too easy to forget who we are, why we are and where we are. We can become a stranger to ourselves. By striving to be all things to all people in all … Continue reading Forget, Reset or Regret →

The first (and many would rightly argue most vexatious) step towards resolving an issue is recognising that the issue exists. Denial is the softer short-term option. A feigned lack of awareness can be a ploy to avoid confrontation. But there is very little bliss in deliberate ignorance. Following close behind recognition comes either acceptance or … Continue reading Choosing To Change →

Fear is an unpleasant emotion generated by the threat of danger, pain or harm. It's an inhibitor, a restriction and a protection. Fear is what often fills the gap between event and reaction. It gives us the time to weigh up a situation, to use judgement and common sense. It can be the buffer between … Continue reading The Many Faces Of Fear →

Personal accountability is a concept that is generally understood and accepted. We must answer for our actions. Explanations or excuses need to be both sensible and convincing. And if we do not believe the account we are giving we can hardly expect that the general public will find it adequate. Self knowledge then is key … Continue reading The Concept Of Self Care →

Who we are is not only the culmination of all that we have been but it should also be seen as a base point from where we grow to become all that we can be. The decision is ours and ours alone. We all have the opportunity to write the next chapter in our life … Continue reading Choice Is Ours Alone To Make →

All too often what we think is not how we live. Perception and reality can be poles apart. Thoughts and actions can have little or no connection. That which we imagine to be true may in fact be the opposite. Too many people spend far too much of their time in a confused state. The … Continue reading The Ultimate Responsibility →

It's not possible to be all things to all people all the time. The target audience is far too big; it's requirements all too demanding. Attempting to achieve the impossible can only end in disappointment. The more effort we put into broadening our appeal, the greater is the risk we run of diminishing it. By … Continue reading People Are Worth The Effort →

One of the most difficult things to accept about change is that it is all too often both unexpected and uninvited. We are caught by surprise when the familiar suddenly becomes strange; when the known becomes uncertain; when what had long been the accepted ordinary takes on a new dimension. We can move into a … Continue reading Be The Change You Want →
