As things open up again, we're left feeling a sense of 'time lost'. That we have to make up for this time. And this isn't the first time in our life we've felt like this. Our jobs, health, age all make us think we should be further ahead. Stop for a second, and be more self forgiving. You'll only sabotage yourself if you constantly tell yourself you're not good enough. Thank you to everyone who's been signing up to my email list or reaching out. I share thoughts every Sunday morning. If you want...

Inspired by Matt Haig today. I look at a quote from him that ultimately leads to me talking about not sacrificing simplicity for our ambition and drive in life. I share with you a bell curve analogy of what life entails and leads us to the peace of mind and simplicity we all truly desire. *Bad language included.

This is such a big one. The more people I come across, the more I find people not being truly comfortable with themselves. This is criminal.

Today's a bit different. A short story that leads to a much grander point that we need to ask ourselves. A story I believe is attributed to Paulo Coelho (the famous author of The Alchemist) that hits home the importance of analysing why are we living the way we are. Enjoy :)

Everything valuable these days seems to be money orientated. Why is time not valued as much?

Consistency is a process I wish I had known more about before 2020. The secret sauce essentially. But how can we be consistent without patience? Consistency doesn't give you instant gratification. It's a long process, one that is ultimately rewarding, but this is where we need to master patience.
