For many people, how they value themselves comes from other people. This can be great when people are treating you well but when not so much when you’re treated poorly. You go from feeling good about yourself to not feeling good enough and because you've become reliant on other people to determine your value. It … Continue reading How do you view you?

Valuable conversations
Some of the most valuable conversations to have are the ones that are most difficult but that shouldn't be a reason not to have them. Even though it might be difficult, challenging or uncomfortable it allows room for learning, growth and understanding that may have not taken place otherwise. Of course, there is a chance … Continue reading Valuable conversations
Don’t forget to ask
Sometimes we make plans that involve others without speaking to them first. You get so excited and carried away that it doesn't even occur to you to let the other person know. Instead you just assume that of course they will share your excitement. And it's not that your plans are bad but when you … Continue reading Don’t forget to ask
Does your life align with your values?
Yesterday I wrote about the simple life and after clicking publish I realised that I still had more thoughts to share. After giving it some thought, I started to question why instead of living the life that we want we decide to pursue other paths. In yesterdays post, I wrote of how it is often … Continue reading Does your life align with your values?
Putting it out there
Your job is to create and then put it out there. It might not get the amount of views you want or it could be loved by millions, that is not something you have any control over. It's not your job to try and convince people that your work is good. In fact, you need … Continue reading Putting it out there

If you were to assess it in the grand scheme of life and death you'd probably find that it doesn't matter as much as you think it does. We tend to get swept up in how … Continue reading The most important thing
The wrong perception
How you view yourself impacts how you act. How you act, influences how you are perceived. If you don't think much of yourself, it'll show up in your posture the way you speak and the kinds of things that you say. And in turn you may be perceived as quiet, shy, uninterested, someone who doesn't … Continue reading The wrong perception
2 kinds of value
If you had to leave your home and could only take 10 things with you, what would you take? Turns out the things we value in our day to day lives aren't the same things we value in an emergency. In our day to day life we're more materialistic, we care more about perception. It's … Continue reading 2 kinds of value
Learned behaviour
I'm really into self-observation and learning about why we are the way we are. I find behaviour to be quite fascinating. I've learnt that often how we act is down to the people we surround ourselves with and the people we allow ourselves to be influenced by rather than just something ingrained within. It might … Continue reading Learned behaviour
Hold yourself to it
When you tell yourself that you will do something, it's quite easy to just not commit. Afterall, there is nobody else that knows and nobody to hold you to it. On the other hand if you share your aims or goals with others, you have to be willing to accept being called out of if … Continue reading Hold yourself to it
