I wrote about boundaries in a recent post but upon reflection I had more to add. Sometimes even when you are aware of a persons boundaries and you know it has nothing to do with you, you still try to overstep the mark. A person will do it in small or subtle ways because they … Continue reading Overstepping boundaries

Internalising boundaries
You can learn a lot from someone by simply observing them. I recently noticed in a particular relationship that the other person had very clear boundaries. It wasn't anything that had been explicitly stated but through this persons actions it was very clear what they were and were not open to. Sometimes a persons boundaries … Continue reading Internalising boundaries
Worth celebrating
Good news is worth celebrating. When you set yourself big goals and have high aspirations it can sometimes feel like the little wins aren't worth celebrating. But when you get a some good news, why not celebrate. You don't have to go all out and do something grand. Perhaps you just eat your favourite desert … Continue reading Worth celebrating
Choosing not to work
The thought of spending your day doing nothing productive or nothing that adds to the end goal might seem like a waste of a day. Surely, laying in bed or sitting wondering about life is of no value in the long-run. It might seem useless at times but I think it's valuable. Taking a break … Continue reading Choosing not to work
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

My dictionary defines a cue as 'An action or event that is a signal for somebody to do something'. In this case the thing to do is bring up a topic that is difficult … Continue reading Waiting for a cue

The truth is in many cases we're actually not ready for the good stuff to happen. It's … Continue reading Exciting possibilities
You don’t need more information
You buy more books, attend more events and enroll on more courses. You think these things will give you the necessary knowledge and tools to pursue the thing you're interested in. But how much is too much? When will you stop gathering information and just start? We're often relunctant to accept that we're ready to … Continue reading You don’t need more information
The difficult truth
Sometimes the hardest part is facing it. Once you accept it, you can make a plan for what do next. That for many is exciting. However, facing the difficult truth is the necessary first step. You do it by acknowledging and understanding the situation. In some cases it will involve admitting the role that you … Continue reading The difficult truth
Dream big
When thinking about what you want to do in the future, dream big. You don't have to be realistic and confine yourself to what you think is possible based on where you are in life right now. In ten years time you'll have more knowledge and experience so think of what is possible for future … Continue reading Dream big
