Of course I hear you say! Aren’t we all under pressure – many feeling they are all but living in a pressure cooker – whether it’s in the workplace, home lives or nationally/globally. And yet…can you feel it? That sense of something coming – something new that is emerging. A different type of pressure perhaps?...
Something I read the other day suggested that as we age our strength/physical capability decreases while our wisdom goes up. I, like probably all of us, can attest to the former even if my mind keeps on insisting I’m 25. As for the latter how true is the growth in our wisdom? Yes, we acquire...
Our every thought, expressed or not, is the seed of a potential intention. Some thoughts are inconsequential, others weightier. When we bring our conscious attention to the weightier, investing them with energy, the likelihood of manifestation mushrooms. Careful what we wish for then, and how. Intentions are powerful. When formed mindfully, through deep reflection, and...
Legacy – what we build/create and leave behind – can be testament to our pursuit of our purpose. Sometimes it’s inspiring on a grand scale – world changers like Gandhi, Mandela, Luther King Jr – come to mind, as do artists and inventors. Under the radar, beavering quietly away, unheralded, are the many bringing positive...
Depending on our preference, and current capacity for heat, the stunning recent summer days reminds us of the extraordinary beauty of nature – the bursting richness of flora and fauna, the vast blue skies given greater definition by shapely white clouds, the obvious presence of the life-giving sun. It’s a visual feast all can drink...
“Change is the key that will open all doors for you, change of heart and mind…Simply know that every change which takes place is for the very best and for the good of the whole, whether they are personal changes, changes in the country, or in the world. Simply accept that these changes must come,...
Coming into right relationship with patience is a challenging road, for me at least. It’s so easy to get drawn to the negative impacts of patience – inaction, having to go slower, doing/achieving less – it is amazing the mind games that go on around patience. Mind games that in many respects are examples of...
As leaders and conscious people, we are encouraged to come into contact with our own personal purpose, our ‘why’ – individually and within organisations. Why do we exist, what is it that we are bringing into the world? In what way are we adding value, something unique or important? Why is the world better for...
The dictionary defines intention as an idea that you plan to carry out; a goal or purpose or aim; something you mean to do whether you do it or not. In this context the intention is often self-focused, on our own plans, and not looking to a far and elevated horizon. If we look deeper...
The discovery of fire is generally thought to date back to between 300,000 and 400,000 years ago, though archaeologists have unearthed possible traces of campfires that flickered 1 million years ago. Whatever the discovery date fire has transformed human existence and has continued at the heart of that experience through time. We might consider all...
