Worth the effort

I recently tried something different and it didn't go to plan. For a short moment I felt annoyed that I'd wasted my efforts but then I caught myself. Was it not worth the effort to try? Instead of getting carried away with an unhelpful story, I could choose to look at things differently. So, I … Continue reading Worth the effort →

Rational decision makers

When I first heard the term 'sunk costs' I had no idea what it meant. However, I heard it from Seth Godin so I payed attention and came to find that it referred to money that had already been spent (which you can't get back) that should not be considered in future decision making. This … Continue reading Rational decision makers →

Paid work and free work

I think it was on an episode of Seth Godins Podcast, Akimbo, that he spoke about deciding what you want to get paid for and what you'll do for free. It isn't something I've heard spoken about often but I think it's quite important. These days most of us put stuff out for free whether … Continue reading Paid work and free work →

What do you want to be known for?

When Seth Godin answered this question he said ' I would like to be known by what the people who have learned from me have taught other people'. I think this was said on an episode of Tim Bilyeus' podcast, Impact Theory. If you're somebody that creates or puts stuff out there, I think it's … Continue reading What do you want to be known for? →

Meeting expectations

Not those of others but your own. I think a lot of people have expectations for what they want out of life. And despite the popular phrase that goes something like 'If you're dreams don't scare you they're not big enough', high expectations can be overwhelming. But something that I've learnt is that you have … Continue reading Meeting expectations →

The art of the gift

Currently reading linchpin by Seth Godin and learning a whole lot. I've been thinking a lot about the art of gift giving lately. Not in terms of a birthday or Christmas gifts but in daily life. The small or grand acts of generosity like saying good morning with a genuine smile or offering to help … Continue reading The art of the gift →

A writers influences

Whatever is going on in my life will be woven through the words I write. At times, I'm like a floatie being pulled and swayed in all kinds of directions. But I'm easily influenced and inspired. From the ages of 16-18 I studied textiles, discovered Seth Godin and read a few books by Dickens. That … Continue reading A writers influences →

Regrets of an aspiring linchpin

Can you guess what book I've been reading? Over a year ago (on my other blog, wordsbygemm) I wrote a post about my job. Looking back, knowing what I now know I kind of regret my words. Here's what I wrote: Maybe, it’s strange that I sort of like being a cog in a machine, … Continue reading Regrets of an aspiring linchpin →

A 17 year old walks into a bookshop in Wales…

That's how the story of how I discovered the person who would become one of my biggest life inspirations begins. This person would go on to help influence the words I wrote, the person I've become and the things that I chose to do. At 17 I liked to think that I was someone who … Continue reading A 17 year old walks into a bookshop in Wales… →

Dancing with fear

I could probably write a book on things I've learnt from Seth Godin. Seth taught me that maybe this fear is something I can work with instead of work for. As in, I can do everything I want to do and still have fear, instead letting the fear dictate what I do (which always ends … Continue reading Dancing with fear →

What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
