How Does Work Serve You?

Morning friends, I spend today talking mostly about work! I didn't think I would end up talking so much about it but here we are. I discuss it from a selfish point of view where we need to be thinking more about ourselves. How does work serve us? If it doesn't, why not? What do we need for it to do so? Let me know your thoughts by writing to me :) Best, Lawrence ⁠⁠⁠Sunday Thoughts Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ New Free Ebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Your Good Life!...

Your Definition of Enough

Good morning friends, some deeper thoughts and context around this topic today. I remember talking about it when I first started this podcast and it certainly won't be the last time I talk about it. As we progress in life and gather more experience, we need to keep checking in on what we think is enough. It's usually less than we think...

Living Life on Your Terms

Morning Memo - Who You Are

Good morning friends, a small note this morning about who you are, not what you do.

Be More Tom

Republishing this on the 5th anniversary. The most important episode so far and potentially ever. Over the past few days, we reached the first anniversary of our good friend Tom passing away. And to celebrate how amazing he was, I've put together this wee episode. I've put together 3 messages that I want you to be more aware of from where Tom has inspired me in my life. My wife and I recently ran a marathon in memory of him and are raising money for the charity CRY (Cardiac Risk in the Young) an...

Time to Check In

Hello wonderful humans, it's time to acknowledge the elephant in the room: The hidden metrics. We do not spend enough time in our life checking in on the invisible things that matter: Inner Peace, Self Love, Peace of Mind. These things that nobody can win nor prove. Yet they are so important to how we live and in order to live a life of fulfilment and meaning.

It's Time to Live Well

Hello wonderful humans, it's time to consider whether we are living as well as we can. Today, I discuss the idea of living well for the short term and the long term. We rarely give it enough time to consider what matters to us especially when everyone has their own definitions of success, meaning and fulfilment.

Repeat Your Day

Hello lovely listeners, today is all about if you had the chance to repeat every day. It may initially feel like fixing anything you regret but I want to coin it as making the most of things. Being more present in situations that you perhaps take for granted. There are many lessons in here that we can implement into all areas of our lives especially as the idea of life being too short comes to mind. Try and make this a long term perspective without it losing its novelty. Write to me with any tho...

3.5 Years of Simpler Living - what are the benefits?

Hello amazing humans, today is all about simple living. My case from simplifying life over the years is from my own experience and I want to encourage you to try it too. When we simplify life, it opens up more space for the important things such as health, love and true work that matters to us. There is so much noise trying to pull us away from what really matters so I want to encourage you to try and find time in your day for some more simple and mundane living. And finding which parts of it br...

It's Time to Play Your Game

Hello wonderful listeners, one on purpose today. I feel like there are certain moments in life that are pivotal. This is one of them. The day you make the decision to pursue something that deeply matters to you regardless of the outcome. I talk about this being more of a personal project but this decision can be related to a career or a relationship. It's completely open to your interpretation. But don't leave it too late to turn up and play the way you want to. Enjoy. Subscribe for extra mornin...

Living a Life True to You

Hello wonderful humans :) Today is all about understanding how we can do great things and create a life worth living. Only to you! We get way too caught up in what everyone else is doing and playing everyone else's games that we never really consider what a great life is or will be to us. Today that changes. I want you to seriously consider the things you want to do in life knowing that no amount of money or status would influence it. This is a level playing field. Everyone starts from zero. But...

It's About Time We Were More Present

Hello lovely listeners, today is all about being more present. Life steals too much time from us when we try to plan it to the second. So how can we change that? Loosen your grip on planning. Have the things that need planned and then let go of the things that could bring you joy. We spend way too much time in life worrying about everything that we forget to live and enjoy it. Find the things that nourish our souls and add pure joy to our lives. Find out how this idea could remove the chronic an...

Choose Love

Hello wonderful friends, today is all about choosing love. This is difficult as we need to be open to pain in order to feel love. I share some examples of what that looks like and try to convince you that life is better when we choose love instead of refusing it :) Please write to me if you are a regular listener or reader of my email - I'd love to hear from you just now :) Sunday Thoughts Newsletter - https://sunny-painter-2539.ck.page Free ebook - https://lawrencemcl.gumroad.com/l/uIpgy...
