Whether we’re willing to admit it or not, everyone has an inner voice that guides them in their day to day lives. Most of us can easily recall a situation in which an inner voice, perhaps considered a conscience or merely a fleeting thought, gave us sound advice that we knew was the right option.Continue reading “Your Inner Voice”

Embracing Minimalism
More people than ever are becoming curious about minimalism. Also known as simple living, or minimalist living, minimalism isn’t just about eliminating physical objects from your life; at its core, it’s about removing anything that isn’t adding value to your life. In doing this, you create more space for the things that will. A beautifulContinue reading “Embracing Minimalism”
Do What Works For You
Have you ever been asked a question, found yourself gushing out an awkward explanation for an answer, and then felt pretty silly afterwards? Yeah, me too. It’s called over-explaining. We all do it sometimes, and we’ve got to stop. This habit of over-explaining ourselves can be a major problem. I’m not talking about meaningful backContinue reading “Do What Works For You”
And we hit a century!
I got back to writing whilst I was recovering from Covid in the last week of April and first week of May. I set up this site and wrote my first article on May 6.

It started with Naomi Osaka chosing to skip her press conference at the French Open to take time to focus on herContinue reading “Mind over Medal”
Citius – Altius – Fortius
The original Olympic motto “Citius, Altius, Fortius” which means “Faster, Higher, Stronger” was adopted with the launch of the Olympic Movement in 1894 at the urging of founder Pierre de Coubertin, who wanted a slogan that expressed excellence in sport. These three words were meant to encourage athletes to give their best during competition. PierreContinue reading “Citius – Altius – Fortius”
The Masks We Wear
Often in life we don’t get to see what lies beneath a person’s “good self” presentation, also called a mask. We don’t get to find out if that person really is kind, caring, or not. The discrepancy is often hidden. And that is true for ourselves as well. We all put on masks to someContinue reading “The Masks We Wear”
Holding onto anger
We have a limited time here on earth. Life is too short to waste time ruminating on the past that won’t change, too short to hold onto grudges and choose to endure pain over the past you can’t change or people who you can’t force to change! Holding on to anger is like grasping aContinue reading “Holding onto anger”
Temporary Comforts
The quote above speaks a thousand words! I was immediately taken back to when I just started working many years ago where I didn’t think twice on things I bought for myself. There are two schools of thought: one which says you should live each day as if it were your last and the otherContinue reading “Temporary Comforts”
