It makes good sense to live in the moment...to become part of what it is that is around us at any particular point in time. The here and now is reality. Yesterday is history and tomorrow is speculation. Too much time is spent fearing what is to come. Often the cost can be what is. … Continue reading Now Is The Moment →

It can sometimes be difficult to grasp the concept that we are part of a community and what we think, do and say can have an impact on that community. That raises the issue of responsibility; that it is incumbent on us all to consider those around us; that each and everyone of us is … Continue reading Enough Is Enough →

It's a sobering truth that every decision we make will have an impact on the life we are living. There's a knock-on effect for even the simplest of choices. What we do or say now is leading to what it is that we will do or say then. The present may not be able to … Continue reading Think, Thought, Thunk →

Everything changes. Nothing remains the same. Some change is subtle while some change is dramatic but the fact remains - that which is is not that which was and is not that which will be. It applies every bit as much to people as it does to circumstances, events and situations. The concern is that … Continue reading And Then There Was This →

We spend too much time waiting for someone else to do something...to re-connect, to apologise, to move on, to change and, all the while, we work on building our reserves of anxiety.

No matter how long we live there will always be something new to be seen, heard or experienced. Each and every day comes with promise and opportunity. There are so many things that we have never thought or felt...so much left unexplored. The problem is that our psychological self all too often overrules our physical … Continue reading Lies, Limits Or Life →

Contact and connection are keys to a life well lived. It starts with self. It's important not to lose connection with the person we are because the person we are is the person we must live with. Far too much mental anguish is suffered when we are unable to recognise and understand aspects of our … Continue reading Like, Link Or Lose →

Depression can be the result of mistakes made in the past. Anxiety can be the result of the fear of mistakes that may happen in the future. One is impossible to change, the other impossible to predict. Life can be about seeing plans and dreams through to fruition...happy outcomes, best results. More likely though it's … Continue reading Deciding The Direction →

As necessary as it is for the protection of personal and mental wellbeing, a comfort zone can become an encumbrance and - at its worst - a trap. If we persist in doing and thinking the things that present no real challenge, personal change and progress are hampered. We run the risk of restricting our … Continue reading Retreat Not Defeat →
