Do you know the secret to a happy life? Let me put it like this: Have you ever tried to successfully pin the tail on the donkey while you’re blindfolded? Sure, with luck it happens every now and then. It won’t happen consistently though. One time you land on...
As a human being, you’re not really designed to keep going when you’re uncomfortable. Because of The Fear Factor. When this kicks in it’s far easier to stop doing the awkward or uncomfortable or scary thing, and give in instead. Let me give you an example. Very sadly, my...
So many people feel like they need to be fixed so that their ‘problems’ can be resolved and go away. But they don’t. You don’t need fixing. In actual fact, you have all the answers, clarity, solutions and everything else that you need. You don’t need to become a...
