45 Minute friendship

So there we were 2 strangers on the train sitting in first class. The train had come to a standstill as there were some issues at the train ahead. We heard a voice over the loudspeaker suggesting that depending on our destination we should either get off the current train and travel via a different … Continue reading 45 Minute friendship →

What you say vs How you feel

We often say things that don't align with how we feel. Sometimes it's because we don't feel in control or we're scared to be assertive. Other times we're not even aware that we don't really feel what we are saying but the proof is in what we do. It's like if someone says they want … Continue reading What you say vs How you feel →

What would Seth Godin say?

I was getting ready for work this morning and suddenly stopped as I realised that I had not uploaded a blog post the day before. Funnily enough a few days ago I was writing about how I'd feel if I missed a day but surprisingly I didn't feel as bad as I thought I would … Continue reading What would Seth Godin say? →

More of the same

I thought it would be good to try writing something new but also this particular topic has been on my mind for a while. Then just days … Continue reading More of the same →

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 →

Moving past the victim mentality

When things aren’t going your way in life its easy to feel like things are out of control. Afterall if you had your way things would be going swimmingly, right. We often get caught up in thinking that life hates us, that we’ve been hard done by or that it’s only us that things are … Continue reading Moving past the victim mentality →

Back to the good stuff

I’d like to be writing something more inspiring, uplifting or thought prompting. But instead here I am writing tales of things that greatly frustrate me, of situations that turned out not quite as I’d have planned. But that’s the things with words, sometimes its necessary to just let them pour out instead of trying to … Continue reading Back to the good stuff →

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 →
