Do you think we ever truly make it there? By there I mean...our ultimate happy life. It seems to me that a lot of people are never happy with where they're at. They strive to achieve, to meet their goals, to improve their personal well-being and life, but do they ever stop long enough to realize they've actually made it [...]
Thinking creatively does not always refer to creating works of art, e.g. painting, music or poetry. Thinking creatively helps you get out of tricky situations. Thinking creatively empowers you to think outside the square and make the most of every opportunity that comes knocking on your door. It's not what you have but what you [...]
Can you believe we're half way through April already? Where is the year going? Before you know it we'll be planning Christmas and saying, "Can you believe it's another Xmas already?

You know what I find really interesting? When someone is moaning about how life sucks and yet they are so set in their ways they refuse to open themselves up to new thinking. Do you imagine that if you had all the answers then there’d be nothing to moan about? Well, you would think so. [...]
Have you ever flown on a plane when the weather has been really cloudy and raining? It can be darned miserable down there on the ground before you take off. But what happens when you get above the cloud? There is no longer any rain and the clouds are all beneath you. It's like you [...]
If you’re always busy but feel like you aren’t performing at the optimal level in some areas of your life, then perhaps you need to check your work/life balance. It’s a very common problem and the work/home balance is probably the most challenging of all. It seems that you are needed everywhere and if you are a [...]
Have you ever thought, “I wish I could just let go and move on”? Sometimes it feels like our whole life is on hold and we’re waiting for something to happen; something good or something bad…we’re not sure what but we’re waiting all the same. But how long do you wait? And is waiting doing [...]
Sometimes you just have to trust — trust yourself, trust others and trust life. The dictionary definition of trust is: Firm belief in the reliability, truth, or ability of someone or something. That doesn't sound too hard does it? In other words, Reliable...Honest...Capable. So why do we have so much trouble with this? We doubt ourselves, [...]
Do you feel like no-one really understands where you are at? Are the people around you stuck in their own spiral of negative emotions and behavior and you’re trying to bust out of that? It’s important to understand that we are all individuals — you are not them and they are not you. You have [...]
I was on a call this morning and something really got to me. I think it’s so sad a lot of people don’t believe in themselves and accept less in their lives than they deserve. It seems that human nature has hard-wired us to stall and second-guess everything. We pull back just when we should [...]
You know the feeling...a million things going around in your mind and a to-do list as long as your arm. It seems that there's a never ending list because no sooner do you cross one thing off, then another task gets tacked onto the end.

Days become weeks, weeks become months and months become years. Sooner or later time has zoomed past and you can be left wondering what on earth you’ve achieved.

“Where on Earth are you taking us Jennifer?” “Mom, do you even know where we are?” “No, I don’t. But I trust that Jennifer does and eventually we will pop out somewhere that I recognize. Just have faith that she knows what she’s doing and enjoy the view!” That was the conversation my son and [...]
Do I feel sad? Sometimes. Do I feel lonely? Sometimes. Am I worried? Sometimes. If I didn’t then I would not be a normal human being. It is normal to have these emotions and anyone who says they don’t, is lying! But does it negatively affect my life? No. Why? Because I don’t allow it [...]
