Life is a blank canvas, waiting for you to paint the picture you most want to live. Blank canvas living or life outside the box is an exciting way to live. So, why do so many of us stay stuck in ‘boxes’? Boxes that only offer us limitations, based on what we know, or have experienced. Continue reading →

This last month it was highlighted to me that I had completely lost hope in a particular area of my life. I like many of you was totally unaware as so much else was going really well. The problem is that losing hope in one area means losing vision and without you realizing it affects every area. Since I have sorted out my dark area, I feel happier, more at peace, more motivated and have more energy and purpose in all other areas of my life too. So try out this strategy on your weak area (s) and experience what hope in all areas of your life can feel like. Continue reading →

Recently I ran a two day retreat workshop in a beautiful setting in the English countryside and noticed on my way back to London how tired and exhausted I felt! Things look so different to the time when I was totally exhausted. It’s not that I was negative but I have to admit I couldn’t see as much of the positive that I see now just a few days later.

What’s wrong with clutter anyway! Continue reading →

Yesterday I was asked a similar question during an interview for an internet based show. So, what about when people’s hopes and dreams don’t come true? What about when hope gets so deferred your heart gets sick? What about when people give up on their dreams or lose most of their hope that their dreams will ever materialise? Continue reading →

Feeling Overwhelmed? Stressed out about all the things you have to do or want to do? Here’s a time management strategy to gain control. The strategy is to simply project plan your life. Typically, it becomes harder juggle things when you are starting something new. You may be starting an organization, inventing something new, getting back on the dating scene, or re-training to change careers. You can’t do something new without getting rid of some of the old. So you need to become a much better planner. Continue reading →

What would it look like to have great judgment of what is lasting, true and right in every plan or course of action you make? In the last few years I’ve been especially learning to respect and honour the wisdom of those older and more mature than me. When I started to learn that having wise counsel and input in your life is a very good idea, for some time I wondered why on earth I didn’t have this and what’s more couldn’t seem to get it!
