Something I hear people say all the time is “LIFE IS SO HARD” and yes, believe me, I used to be one of them, I have said this quite a few times in my life. And all those people are not wrong, to be perfectly honest, yes life can absolutely be a challenge.
“There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist or to accept responsibility for changing them” – Denis Waitley
Continue reading “Never Give Up The Power To Choose!”This is something that has been coming up for me a lot lately, mindset and how it affects us and how we can change it. My twins are going through a very trying time right now, not sure which of us it’s more trying for, but how they view the world and their lives is changing. They are starting to question things, think about consequences more and as a result have started doubting themselves and their ability. So we tend to talk about mindset quite a bit in our family to help them with this. Here are a few pointers to help you with yours if you find yourself having the same issues.
Continue reading “Mindset… how important is it really?”This has been something on my mind for a while now. It was about six months ago that I realised I wasn’t really sure how I was going to deal with moving from being an employee to running my own business and this scared me. How was I going to feel not having to commute to work every day? Would I get distracted working from home with all the stuff around the house that needs doing? Was I capable of being my own boss and not working for someone? Would I be successful? Continue reading “Expectation of Leadership”
Transforming your life from the inside out can be scary, confronting and mind blowing all at the same time! Sometimes you have to dig really deep to find out what it is that is holding you back. Is it our parents, our spouse, our circle of friends or is it our own limiting beliefs? Continue reading “Mindset…”
The first and most important step on your journey to changing your mindset and self acceptance is forgiveness. Now I’m not going to lie, it’s probably going to be the hardest step for some people and I’ll admit I didn’t find it particularly easy as I had to face a few home truths and found this incredibly uncomfortable. Before I go into how you can start the process of forgiveness I’ll tell you a bit about myself and why I went in search of changing my life. Continue reading “Forgiveness”
How many times have you said that to yourself? How many times have you made yourself a promise that you have never followed through on? Why do we break the promises we make to ourselves so easily? As I sit her writing this, I’ve been putting it off for weeks. The time was never right, I was too busy, I wasn’t in the right mood, I’ll do it tomorrow….
It’s been a long and troubled path for me, this thing they call life. No more troubled than anyone else I’m sure, but this is my story on my journey of personal development that I wanted to share. I will be honest in all I tell, in all the embarassing and funny glory even at my expense because if my experiences or my words can help just one person going through any of the same things I did, then I can’t not share and be completely honest about it all. Even if just one person finds comfort or answers from my mistakes or from what I have learnt then I will have helped in some small way. Continue reading “Life shouldn’t be this hard…”
There was a time in my life where trying to imagine a bigger vision would have upset me or even made me angry. It is not that I didn’t believe better things were possible, I just didn’t believe they were possible for me. Continue reading “My Why…”
I grew up in a very small town called Howick (in South Africa); which I alluded to in my first blog, the great childhood I wish I had appreciated at the time, and how I look back on now and wish I could have for my children. I wanted to elaborate and give you a little insight in to what growing up in a small town was really like.
But remember this is through the eyes of the then teenager and the now adult so there are many years in between, many things I can’t remember clearly (thanks to all those many years) and many mixed emotions!
Ok, I’ve explained my journey so far so thought I would tell you a little bit more about where I am now, how I got here and where this crazy ride is going to take me.
For those of you who knew me growing up, taking chances and getting it wrong won’t surprise you about me. Those of you who know me now might still not be surprised but you might also be wondering what the hell I’m doing and why. Continue reading “The here and now…”
