Love is a verb
It is an action-word, not a noun. People show their love for you in certain ways. Don’t take it for granted. Show people that you care.
A decision isn’t made until action is taken
Have you ever been sitting on the couch eating ice cream and thought… “Hmmmm… Maybe I should be living a healthier life…. That’s it. No more ice cream…. After I finish this bowl”. Maybe that’s just me. But I’m sure you’ve experienced something similar. The point is, in the moment, we feel good that we’ve […]
You are awesome
Really truly. This isn’t a pep talk or a motivational post. It’s simply a recognition that you really are doing amazing things. Sometimes when we focus on making change in our life, we lose sight of the incredible impact we have on those around us. You mean the world to those that are close to […]
The Tipping Point
At what point can the few change the position of the many? And this goes for anything – it could be a major social issue, or it could be a group of friends deciding dinner. It’s 25%. 1 in 4 is the crucial tipping point for social change to occur. So when you want to […]
The Tail End
If you’d like perspective about the value of life (especially with your relationships), I highly encourage you read a blog post called The Tail End.

More or Less
It can be hard to know exactly what you want in life. But it becomes easier when you consider change relative to the value you are receiving from your current position. So rather than try to answer the question, “What do I want in life”. Think instead about what you would like more or less […]

You may consider that anger is uncontrollable. While we may regret what we say or do while angry, it’s so easy to be caught up in this emotion that we tend to rationalise away our actions. But what if you saw anger as a choice? This question may sit uncomfortably with you. But let me […]
Fear setting
Our fears can hold us back from making change. Sometimes we fear failure, and sometimes we fear success. But just like shadows on your wall at night, they become less scary when you turn on the light. If you are fearing what a change may bring, fully explore your fears. What is the worst thing […]
Invest in sleep
We spend a third of our lives in our bedroom – mostly sleeping. It’s a critical part of our lives to recharge and rejuvenate. But how many of us have truly prioritised a good night’s sleep. For all the time we spend asleep, why do we not rank a good night’s sleep as an investment […]
