It's easy to see how, when you think about it: a bad decision leads to a mistake, that costs extra time, you lose some sleep, become burnout and then suddenly you've had a health scare or lost your job. What started as a harmless minor bad decision then compounded into something much much worse. A few small problems can compound into a massive one.

Ambition: An Unstoppable Force or Dangerous Power?

Ambition. That driving force that propels us to greatness. In our world today we strive to create more ambition in our lives, but I question whether that is real, genuine ambition or simply a misguided force, that will tear you off your true and best path in life.

Getting to the Truth of Time

Time is a beautiful, precious abstract concept that we all treasure. Our language constantly references the passing of time: ‘I don’t have time,’ ‘where has the day gone,’ and ‘if only I could stop time'.’ The presence and importance of time in our lives has evolved through history to a point where we have become obsessed with it. Time and money are both fundamentals in our lives, but do we really understand the relationship between them, and what they mean to us.

But I’ve found the real, and only path to happiness.

We’ve Got Positivity All Wrong

There is a constant pressure to be positive all the time. To just miraculously transform a bad day into being good. We strive for a perfectly positive outlook and we have foolishly believed it is possible. It is not. It is the stuff of fictional fairytales. Our lives will indefinitely be full of struggles, bad days and mistakes. But, true positivity is to act despite this, to experience hardship but to move forwards, to experience pain and to accept it.

Why You Need to Commit to Find REAL Freedom

A large part and often difficult part of life is weighing up exploration vs commitment. We love to keep our options open and have space to evolve and change. But there is real power in committing.
