The “I’m fine” statement and the thinking that supports it can encourage us to avoid the specific areas that need attention. Problems begin when we hide our truth and numb our pain. In the short-term this cover-up provides some relief, but the long-term effects of anesthetising what’s really going on can be harmful. Fear is…

One of the quickest ways to destroy belief is by worrying about what other people think and say. And when you have a clear vision you are more resilient with the no’s. When I made the decision to leave my real estate office to follow my vision, I knew there would be times when I would…

As True Believers we come together to make a contribution — to make a difference in the world. When we get ourselves right we are then in the best position to help others and to contribute to making this world that little bit better as a result of our contribution. It’s why we, as True Believers, have…

Since I was a young child I loved to play the game of make-believe. Playing dress-ups and choosing to be someone different for a time was so much fun. I began to realise that you could use your imagination and feel the joy of a different reality in all areas of your life. But what…

For many of us there have been recent tough periods and even times when it’s easy to feel down in the dumps. Maybe you’re still doing it tough.

Decluttering is an essential productivity tool. Remove the clutter and see the path ahead. Live with clutter and live with obstacles. Highly productive people declutter quickly. It’s time to pave the way to success by spring-cleaning the clutter in your life. When heading in a valued direction, we need to clear the path. Like a pregnant…

Sometimes we think we have lost our mojo, but all we may need is to get some support and work alongside people with similar values and vision, and who are, best of all, people you like. And like a relay race it becomes a combined effort, creating many benefits at home and in your personal life. In How…

Amongst all your hard work, take some time to feel the joy of your success. Do you bask in the glory when you accomplish something? Do you take time to celebrate and reward yourself? Why celebrate? When it’s all about the work we may have the achievement, but without taking a moment to celebrate we…

We sometimes wish for a better life and that our current reality was different and hope that someday things might change. Problems can arise when our wishing becomes a habit of inaction that keeps us in a fantasy land. So don’t wait for past wishes to be granted – those who wish wait longer than…
