    Study Yourself For Once
    Feb 9 2023
    We spend so much time focussing on everything around us, as we try to live our lives through the lenses of others that we are forgetting who we are, and what we could do with ourselves - if we truly understood who we were, and why.

    The Mistake About Mistakes
    Feb 8 2023
    Our perception of a mistake can enable us, or disable us. What we can learn from them can either take us towards our goals, or keep us in our comfort zones.

  • 21 | C for Courage

    21 | C for Courage
    Jan 25 2023
    Becoming involves being courageous. But where does that come from? Taking a small step is courage in itself, and such acts help us build confidence. Going out into the world completely as yourself is courage walking. But it's not an easy walk. However once on that path, you'll find other opportunities arising; arising from that courage to be.

    20 | Did I Beat Seasonal Depression?
    Jan 18 2023
    Seasonal depression was something that affected me over the years, as I was unable to cope with the shorter days and waning light. But in making several changes in the past months of which was summer, they seem to have benefited me massively in the winter this year. So I was left wondering.. have I beaten something that was beating me down?

  • 19 | A Journey Of Becoming

    19 | A Journey Of Becoming
    Jan 11 2023

    Becoming is a long personal journey, with many crossroads and roadblocks. It is a journey of courage that develops the confidence to go into the world as yourself, as you become an enabler of your own life that is lived on your values and beliefs. 

    I have spent a lot of time trying to understand who I was, who I had become during childhood and early adulthood. I had to give up my own life to adhere to the rules set by others. And now, with that awareness over the past 20 years, I realised that I am a completely different person that is now seeking the real, authentic version of me.

    That does come with being open and aware as becoming is a life-long process to understanding who we really are - without any external influences. And once we start to understand ourselves better, we can then approach existing problems with fresh eyes, and new ways of thinking - some of them which were always there but we did not have the clarity and focus to realise it! We can also truly identify what is really important to use, and intentionally choose to focus on achieving those things.

  • 18 | Don't Wait For Ready, Just Do It

    18 | Don't Wait For Ready, Just Do It
    Jan 4 2023
    When was the last time you procrastinated, and put off something because you thought you needed more time, in order to be ready? Have you waited for things to align so that you could find the time, courage, strength to apply for that job you thought you didn't have the skills for, have that difficult conversation with someone close to you, or just get past those fears, doubts and perceptions holding you back?

    I have been damaged by being not seen or heard growing into my own life, and I realised that long ago ready was not an option in many cases. The only option I had was to go. Because time is one thing we cannot make more of, or get back once it is gone.

    We are in control of our lives, and in the end, life and time waits for no-one. There is never really a time when we will be ready for what we need to do, in order to attain the best version of ourselves. If you really want something for yourself, for an opportunity, then you need to make it happen.

    Don't wait for the traffic lights to change, just understand you are in control of the switch.

  • 17 | A Year Older, A Decade Wiser

    17 | A Year Older, A Decade Wiser
    Dec 28 2022
    We should be aware of all the things we have done, become and overcome - especially as we end one year and look forward to the next. Celebrating ourselves and our achievements is a major part of getting ourselves motivated, confident and courageous. This way, we can always set ourselves up for success. Success to me this year started by living alone, coming out of myself and pushing past many barriers to discover my true, authentic self. It is always good to take some time to reflect on the last year, to understand what has changed and most importantly how and why. Because we have made those things happen through our own hard work and desire to change our lives for the better. If we are looking for inspiration for change, then understanding where we are can also help us plan for where we want to be. Progress is never a straight line and the wiser we get with time, the more we can do, become and definitely overcome.
