I am a firm believer that in almost every moment, you know exactly what you need to do and exactly what decisions you want to make. So often we see advice from others because we feel stuck or get overwhelmed by possibility and uncertainty. However, what I've learnt even is that when you allow yourself … Continue reading Sometimes you don’t need advice

Different is good
A person might look at your life and tell you that things should be different. That you should have pursued a different sort of career, that you should have more friends, that your relationships with certain people in your life should look a certain way. That might be because they they think you'd be better … Continue reading Different is good
Identifying the discord
In some situations you might find that that there is a discord between what you want and the outcome you get. If you're unsure if this applies to you, think about some of your recent encounters with people. What did you want? What was the outcome?

Changing long-term plans
Most of us have some idea of where we'd like to be in 5, 10 maybe even 20 years time. But sometimes the gap between now and then, is pretty hazy. You know what you want but you're not quite sure how you'll get there. And sometimes long-term plans change. Maybe you happened to find … Continue reading Changing long-term plans

How to change your life
It's really easy to say, 'That's just how I am'. Some people even use that as a way to justify continually being unkind to others or even themselves. But the beauty of life is that we have the opportunity to change and overcome. I recently wrote about not feeling good enough, something I struggled with … Continue reading How to change your life
Not being good enough
I used to be the kind of person that would internalise everything. For example, if I didn't get the job I applied for it was because I wasn't good enough and not that they had 7 excellent candidates and only one role to fill so not everyone could be a winner. I could give countless … Continue reading Not being good enough
Be kind
One of the easiest things you can do is to be kind. It can come in many forms but I think it is often the smallest things that have the most impact. It can be easy to think that you need to go above and beyond and make some kind of grand gesture but that's … Continue reading Be kind
