When you're tired the last thing you want to do is keep going but there's a certain kind of magic that occurs when you push on just that little bit more. When giving up/giving in is an option but you don't choose it you open yourself up to possibility of expanding yourself beyond what you … Continue reading Don’t give up yet

Something to look back on
I had a thought a few days ago about how this blog will be something to look back on in a years time or maybe even 6 months. Granted this isn't an online personal diary but I'm writing about what I think and experience. The beauty in this is that I'm constantly evolving so my … Continue reading Something to look back on
Busy
I've been telling certain people in my life how busy I am but I've come to realise that there is more to it than I first thought. I have a lot of distractions that make great excuses for why I'm not able to give the full effort to certain aspects of my life. It's like … Continue reading Busy
Sort of like an apology
I suppose this blog is an indication of where I'm at in life. I've noticed slowly more and more personal snippets have seeped into my last few blog posts. There's been mentions of people and feelings which I never expected I'd put out on here but I think the only reason I'm okay with it … Continue reading Sort of like an apology
Falling behind
In a matter of weeks I went from scheduling posts a week in advance to throwing something together at 10.30pm the night before. I was glad that I had the willingness to still try and not just give up and miss a day because I wasn't as organised as I'd like to be. The simple … Continue reading Falling behind
No prior planning
It's very rare that I write a blog post on the spot with no prior planning and minimal editing, I'm too rigid for that. I like to have that spark of an idea come to me which spurs me on to write and luckily I get it often. I have enough thoughts and ideas to … Continue reading No prior planning
The last hurdle
The bit that is often rushed, least cared about and the most overlooked is the bit before the end. I'm learning that adopting a sprinters mentality might be the way to go. To pace myself for the long haul but to always leave a surplus for the end. For when I'm tired and motivation is … Continue reading The last hurdle
Role Reversal
In situations that don't turn out how we'd have liked we often tell ourselves that if the roles were reversed we'd have handled things better. When we're observing or experiencing a persons response or reaction to something, we're experiencing it second hand from a different perspective. NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) has a presupposition that says … Continue reading Role Reversal
Man on the train
Something insignificant yet so significant is a conversation between strangers on the train. It's mood changing, not from happy to sad or vice versa. But it adds something to your day when you can casually chat to someone you don't know and will perhaps never see again. It's a mutual thing too because despite having … Continue reading Man on the train
The good kind of comparison
Seeing other people work hard makes me want to work hard. Seeing other people do well makes me want to do well. But its not about competing, it's about reminding myself that I too am capable. And so are you.
