Your Lifestyle is the Goal

Happy New Year friends! Today, as is the theme around this time of year, I talk about our motivation and goals. I argue the case for choosing lifestyle over goal. One goal isn't going to change everything, but 5-10 mins reflecting on what you really want your lifestyle to be will help direct your goals much more effectively! Enjoy!

The Evolution of Your Life Philosophy

Good morning friends, I trust you're well. Having a kid takes up a lot of time so apologies for not having an episode last week. But I spent a good amount of time putting this together for you today. I've reflected on 2024 and how key themes have appeared. I discuss these in today's episode whilst tying it all back to our own life philosophy. It evolves naturally and we need to embrace that through all the stages of our life. I hope you enjoy :) Lawrence Write to me at lawrence.selfimprove@gmail...

You Have To Earn It

Good morning friends, thoroughly enjoying releasing episodes straight after recording at the moment. It's almost like you get fresh thoughts! Today is all about making the most of earning things in life. The non-money problems we and everybody else have are a chance for growth. We need to use them to better ourselves and the world around us. There's no hiding with this one and if we do hide, we only run out of time later on. Enjoy!

The Pursuit of Projects!

Hello friends, Apologies for the absence last week, I explain why here. I hopefully provoke thought today about life projects you're not pursuing enough. The ones that require minimum commitment but not obsession. The ones you were born today but you've lost your way slightly. This is encouragement to pursue it. Nothing to lose!

Wanting vs. Needing

Morning friends! Today is inspired by a clip from the Olympics. The idea behind the difference in life between wanting and needing and how we should use it effectively.
