Our Divine Calling to Shine We are called by God to bring light wherever we may go, whatever we should do. The world changes if we change, therefore we play some role in building an environment that is inclusive, empowering and loving. Understandably so, our role might seem quite small in the grand scheme of…
Dear God, I come to you today in this time of prayer to firstly thank you for the many gifts you have provided. To thank you for instilling within me a thoughtful mind, placing me around inspiring people and continually supporting me whilst I grow. As I continue through my day, I have one thing…
The Promise of Positive Thinking Positive thinking will drive you to places you never thought possible. Positive thinking about your potential, about other’s thoughts of you, and about the the potential for your current situation to turn around. Your thoughts create your reality, so why not create a positive reality? It seems simple right?…think positively…
Make today count. Make it a day that pushes forward your hopes and dreams, but also keeps you intimately grateful for the things you already have. Where you are now is a starting point, and hopefully you feel yourself working within some sort of process that keeps you going and propels you in a positive…
When things are going well and you sense yourself gaining some positive momentum, there will always be those doubts that fill your mind. It’s just a given, you’ll be confronted with past mistakes, question your own self worth and worry about what others think from time-to-time. These thoughts will resurface whether we want them to…
What is the main aim of our daily lives, what should we be striving for, and how can we keep peace and patience within us as we work towards larger personal goals? One short and simple way is to always look to bring goodness to everything that you do. Whether it be within your team…
Building momentum in a positive direction is key to leading a fulfilled life, and it’s the stumbling blocks on the road to this momentum that can make positive change seem more daunting and confronting than it actually is. Our starting point (where we are right now) is a summation of all the decisions we have…
If you have all these grand ambitions and visions of yourself in the future, you must get them out. They are your purpose in life. If you never work on them and build them up for the world to see, nobody will ever see them. Only YOU are capable of making a unique mark on…
There are solutions that exist to all the problems that surround our life and sometimes we just need to think outside the box and look at these problems from a new perspective. Thinking outside the box means being creative in the way you approach things. Seeking a new perspective means giving up your old metrics…
The reality is, and you’ve probably heard this quote before; If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change. Wayne Dyer For those that do not know, Wayne Dyer was an American self-help author and a motivational speaker. So, what was he trying to say when he shared this…
Do you ever get this anxious feeling that you’re behind or in some ways off track in life? Maybe your goals keep escaping you or they’re taking a long time and you get demotivated and disappointed with yourself. Then you look back to all the times you’ve failed or the things that haven’t worked out…
Seeing the world through your own lens is an inherent necessity – it’s a must. That’s if you want any sense of lasting fulfilment in life. Your lens defines your thoughts, from these thoughts you generate a perspective and it’s from this perspective of yourself and others that you develop a metric for validation. Your…
Michael Jordan, arguably the greatest basketball player of all time said, “Limits, just like fears, are often just an illusion.” What can we draw from this statement? It packs in a lot of messages and it also encourages us to develop our self awareness. What I believe Michael was trying to express is that we…
What if we never quit on the things that really mattered? What would it mean for who we are now or who we could be in the future? It would mean a stronger will power and a more decisive attitude. When we don’t quit it’s because we care about what we’re working towards and anything…
I made a post last year emphasising the importance of acceptance on a day such as today. Acceptance of the fact that you are where you need to be and the realisation that you having everything you need right now. Feelings of loneliness might be challenging to face, but they should empower you – not…
When you look around in society you notice many people, but how many of them do you actually tie no prejudice or assumptions to? It’s hard wired within us to make assumptions, but it can often be a limiting trait. Here’s how it works. You see a ferocious dog with extremely sharp teeth, is fear…
Sometimes there’s disappointments, letdowns or frustrations that don’t just affect us but that affect a large number of people. When the community share’s in a loss or a disappointment, there’s a shared dissatisfaction. This is both painful and uplifting. It’s an interesting fact; we must deal with our own feelings as well as worry about…
Our dreams are controlled by the limits we place on ourselves. We often let our limits suppress our capabilities and we can’t reach our full potential. A dream represents what we want most – what our ‘ideal’ scenario might be for the future. We can have multiple dreams at any one time. These can be…
A tricky statement, sometimes a bit confusing and convoluted but it’s actually quite true. What it means is this – the fact that we believe we always need more, want more and deserve more makes us unappreciative of who we are now. To ourselves we will never be enough because we’re not satisfied with our…
In a world where we can often get frustrated with what’s happening around us and discouraged when things don’t work out we must learn to be patient. When we try and rush a result just to get the reward it normally doesn’t pay off and in the rare cases where it does, the fulfilment we…
Gratitude has and always will be a major source of how we perceive our success story, whether we accept it or not. The truth is, when we a greatful for our life as it is, and we choose to accept the beauty that truly is life, we can then move forward into the future with…
This inspiring scene from the film ‘Facing the Giants’ personifies what it means to persevere, to trust and to have faith in our abilities. Sometimes just because of the way things seem or look we give up. We’re afraid to embrace the battle and struggle that comes with achievement. However, when we block the noise…
We’ve all had habits, good ones and bad ones. We know which habits are supportive of our growth and those that are not. There’s some habits that constantly bug us. We know they’re poor choices but we still do them because we’re in a pattern that keeps drawing us back in – tempting us. We’ve…
How will you serve the world? What will your talents provide? These are questions we should ask ourselves when we are setting our goals. Our goals should be set up so that they can be translated into positive actions – actions that inspire us and generate a sense of empowerment for others. That is why…
Clear the clutter and let the simple stuff stay. We need far less to live a good life than we realise. There is a lot of meaningless stuff that ties us down that we think belongs in our life, but it doesn’t. There are many distractions that we run to for comfort in times of…
You are not the mistakes of your past – you are the lessons and capabilities you have gained from them. Be at peace with yourself – intimately, wholesomely and lovingly. Don’t let the mistakes of your past dictate who you are now or in the future because it has no bearing. Break free from it’s…
There’s a chance you’re reading this because you want to be perfect, you want everything to go to plan and you want your life to just fall in place for you. If I’m honest, continuing to have these thoughts is actually what’s holding you back from exactly what you want. To be ‘perfectly you’ is…
It’s easy to get caught up in trying to please others and in trying to prove to the world that we are good enough. The truth is, we don’t have to and we should never have to. If people, situations or criteria ever make us feel this way we need to properly evaluate why this…
