A Time to Dream
What do you want for your life? Can you picture your dream? What did you hope your life would look like when you were a small child? Does your reality look anything like those aspirations today? Are you happy with the life you’re living or have you settled for the life that’s shown up?

If you’re like most people, much of your life is committed to supporting other people. Your spouse, children, boss, family members, friends and neighbours, just to name a few. While you undoubtedly care about everyone of these people, it’s possible you frequently feel overtired, overscheduled and overwhelmed. (Sound familiar?) Read on...

Don’t Fear the Fear
Of course you’ve heard that there are thousands of ways to rid fear from your life. Programs, potions, pills, Get Rid of Fear quick schemes, books. A whole industry has been born out of our need to control our fears. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could completely rid our lives of fear altogether? Or would it? Read on...

Facing Your Fears
Sometimes, the biggest thing that stops us from moving forward is the fear. That’s something that I’ve gone through over the last couple of months.

Yes, it’s true, fear kept me stuck in the end of 2008. Even with the amount of work that I’ve done on myself and the things that I know, I was still struck down by fear. I knew that things needed to change and yet I was so afraid of the change. I kept trying to move forward with what I thought was needed yet kept hitting brick walls again and again. Read on...

Intuition by Helen Taylor
We are born into this world with six senses. Sight, touch, sound, taste, smell and, the sixth sense, intuition. The world we are born into supports, teaches and encourages the first five senses. They are taught as a part of our general education. We know a lot about them and experience them everyday on some level.

What about the sixth sense!!!!

We know it as a “gut feeling”, a “hunch”, a “knowing”. It is seen as something extraordinary, something “special”, something only some people have. In the general world, it is not appreciated, it is not encouraged, it is not taught or supported. Religion for centuries has tried to eliminate it, thousands of people have died for or because of it. It frightens some people and makes other curious. Read on...

Let’s have a look
As today is the 10th July, I thought it would be befitting to have a look at the year so far. What changes have you made? What is different this year to last year? What’s the same?

As you have a look around your life right now, notice what you’re telling yourself. Are you saying, “Well, not much has changed” or are you saying “I’m glad I’m not doing that anymore.” Either way, it’s a great time to be having a look and assessing what the next 6 months are going to be like.

Letting Go
Living an exceptional life is something that we’re all are striving for. A life filled with the things that are important to us. A life filled with feelings of confidence, success and a general sense of self-assuredness. For me, exceptional living means living life in the present, learning from the past with a view to the future.

For some people, the past is like a ball and chain. It follows them wherever they go, stopping them from achieving goals in their life. It is restricting, heavy and extremely burdensome. Most people never break free from the shackles of their past and are therefore living a life of regret. Read on...

Moments in Life
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one which has been open for us.

Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth, even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile as it only takes a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile. Read on...

Outside In
Over the last 20 years or so, our society in general has been on a quest to obtain stuff. Bigger houses. Flashier cars. Debates have been conducted in many staff rooms on which is better – LCD or Plasma TV’s. We don’t go to the Gold Coast for our holidays anymore. We go to Thailand, Bali, Fiji.

We are trapped in a consumer cycle of buy, buy, buy, which means we have to work, work, work. The more stuff we accumulate, the harder and longer we have to work. We have credit cards, interest free loans, buy now pay later schemes which make it even easier for us to buy more stuff. We have become trapped in a system that feeds us externally. The problem is that this is only a short term solution. Read on...

Surround Yourself With Empowering People
Nothing will sabotage your efforts to live a healthy, balanced, fulfilled life more conclusively than surrounding yourself with people who don’t support your desire to live in this manner. The most difficult course you’ll chart as you make life improvements will be that of nurturing and evolving relationships with those who sustain you and identifying and terminating relationships with those who aren’t willing to support your growth.

Your relationships have the capacity to lift you up. They also have the capacity to keep you stuck and tear you down. Surrounding yourself with people who support your growth is an incredibly powerful way to create a lifestyle that pulls you toward your highest potential. Surrounding yourself with people who don’t will almost certainly undermine the very change that you’re attempting to make. Read on...

Values – Your Life’s Compass
Whether you are running a household or running a life, you make hundreds of choices and decisions a day. Decisions about what to do next, what is important, what is going to get done and what is going to get left out.

Our lives are built on the decisions and choices that we make each day. By focusing our minds on what is truly important to us, we will begin to notice more opportunities and get into action around them. Read on...

What is it to value something?
What you value most in life is really what makes your heart sing. What lights you up. When you discover what you value, decision making becomes easier, choices become more apparent and your vision for the future becomes clearer.

Your values are your compass. They guide your every decision. Those who know their values and live by them become the leaders of our society. If you want to live the deepest level of life fulfillment, you can achieve this by deciding upon what you value most in life, what your highest values are and then committing to live by them every single day. Too often, people have no clear idea of what’s important to them. They go through life just floating by, never truly knowing where they are going. If you are not clear about what’s most important in your life, then how can you ever expect to lay the foundation for a sense of self-esteem, much less have the capacity to make effective decisions? Read on...

What To Do When Life Feels Out Of Control
I don’t know about you, but there have been times in my life when my world has felt completely out of control. Like the whole world is conspiring to see me fall down. If this is how you’re feeling right now, then have hope. I’m going to share with you the strategy that I use to take back control.

Feeling in control about our life is one of the fundamental needs of human beings. We need to feel that our world has a sense of order and purpose to it so that we can operate effectively. We feel confident and comfortable which allows us to relax and take it easy. We sleep easier and our stress levels go down. Read on...

What you focus on is what you get
What do you need to focus on today to ensure that you have an outstanding tomorrow?

Where you are today has been determined by the decisions you made yesterday and the day before and so on. Your today has happened because of the ‘Power’ you gave it yesterday. Your ‘Power’ is the culmination of your thoughts, feelings, emotions and what you tell yourself.

So what needs to change today to make tomorrow the most outstanding day? What things do you need to bring into your world today to create the tomorrow that you desire? Read on...

Your Personal Power
Have you ever noticed that sometimes we do more to help someone else overcome the most difficult of obstacles than we do for ourselves? In my work, I’ve found that most people will care for themselves to a point yet will go above and beyond for others often at their own expense.

This is because when you walk into the unknown you are really walking into your fear. Fear is simply an acronym for False Expectations Appearing Real. It’s a future perception that there will be more pain than pleasure, more bad than good, more sad than happy. Read on...
