When you are confident about something, it works out. I don’t mean hope; I don’t mean wishful thinking. I mean proper knowing; that walking tall feeling that signals that things are going your way. And yet this kind of confidence is not always easy to come by. Some people are born with it, others develop […]
In the theory of evolution, everything continues to improve. And that’s how it is with life. There is no circle of life, there is no stepping back; there is just a straight line of evolution, where everything becomes more enlightened, more expansive and more loving. I believe we’re supposed to keep youthful and get better […]
Despite improvements with technology and medicine, and discussions around mental health, people are lonelier and more isolated than ever before. And the rates of anxiety and depression are on the increase. Life ought to be getting better but for many people, it’s getting worse. There is a lack of connection and people are turning to addictions in an […]
In my years of teaching, I’ve seen big successes. In fact, I don’t remember ever seeing my approach not working – in my own life or others. However that doesn’t mean it always works for everyone all the time, and there’s a reason for this: It’s all about whether we put it into practice or not. The […]
I used to wake up every day and my mood was fine for about two seconds, then I’d crash into feeling low and immediately begin fighting it. I was in a storm of overthinking and it seemed like it was my entire life. Not only did I feel awful, but I would beat myself up […]

You had people sticking pictures of Bugattis on their vision boards, or repeating mantras that they were millionaires or in a perfect relationship in the hope of creating whatever they […]
There’s that moment that sometimes happens when you realise all the advice you’ve ever being given was wrong: All those people you’d listened to, telling you how to win at the game of life, sharing what to do and when to do it, are revealed to be just as lost as you feel you are. […]
Before I got into personal development, I would spend a lot of time thinking about how to achieve my goals. When I got into personal development, it was more of the same. Instead now the word ‘achieve’ was replaced with ‘manifest’. These days, you can’t move without someone mentioning manifesting – and yet there’s more […]
We are not our thoughts – although they certainly can appear real when we’re spinning in them. Many personal development teachers are stuck in the thought realm, teaching people to try to rearrange their thoughts or think the right positive thoughts in order to somehow get what they want – and something’s not working. Thoughts […]
One of the reasons I first got interested in personal development was because I was looking for freedom.
