Life is all about challenges. But, faced with a challenge, we all have a choice...accept it and deal with it or shirk it. A challenge left unfaced is potential left unrealised. Quite often the protective boundaries that we self-construct are far more effective at keeping us in rather than keeping the world at bay. We … Continue reading The Challenge Of Choice →

No matter how much knowledge we accumulate, there is always more to know. No matter how good we perceive ourselves to be, we can always be better. If we arrive at a point in our life where we believe we have peaked then we are selling ourselves short. There is always more. The problem too … Continue reading For The Sake Of Change →

At every turn we are assailed by information and guidance suggestions. How to live longer, how to live fitter and how to live happier. There is no shortage of advice. The next thing is presented as being the best thing. The logic being offered to us is that, if we ignore and resist, then we … Continue reading Mind The Gap →

Not everything is possible. There are things that are simply beyond our reach...things that physically or mentally we will never be able to achieve. Quite simply, we have limitations. No amount of effort will make the impossible possible. There are odds which will never be overcome. The confusing thing about the human condition is that … Continue reading Believing In The Possible →

Change can often be driven by necessity. A particular state of being or a certain state of mind may no longer be in synch with circumstances. It may not be possible to sustain a particular condition of being while maintaining a healthy mental state. But, when faced with the prospect of change, we can falter. … Continue reading If Not Now Then When? →

Healing and hurt are both locked into the passage of time. The longer we live, the more we will experience. The more we experience, the greater will be its impact on the life we are living. We remember the good. We remember the bad. Our ability to recall with clarity can vary. A lot depends … Continue reading Here, There…Not Everywhere →

Life is such that it makes sense to expect the unexpected...to be aware...to ready ourselves for something we are not necessarily anticipating. The downside, however, is that maintaining that level perception can weigh heavily on our mental resources. And it can tip over the edge into the abyss of fear. Ideally we should be aware … Continue reading Expectations. Great Or Grate. →

Compromise is rarely simple. Modifying the way we think and act takes effort. More than that, it demands concession. It's not always possible to get what we believe we deserve let alone what we know we want. The stumbling block we face is concession. In order to get, then we must also be prepared to … Continue reading The Challenge Of Compromise →

We have all been embraced by the cult of conformity. If we are not one thing then we must be another. Individuality is rarely tolerated. There are boxes and there are boundaries and society requires us to take our place within defined parameters whether they be real or imagined. There must be a reason, an … Continue reading The Inner Voice Of Choice →

There are no limits in a world powered by the cult of more. We are encouraged to acquire without limit...not only to succeed but to exceed. There is always more to be had. Enough is never enough. We are pushed to measure ourselves by the standards set by society, often overlooking the fact that society … Continue reading Making Less Of More →
