How many of you are searching to find the right career for you or are in a career that you don’t really enjoy? So many people spend their whole lives in careers that they don’t enjoy and in many cases hate. Why is that? I believe that most people do not take the time for some self-exploration before they commit to a career and therefore do not understand or realise what career is best suited for them. Rather than focus on what you truly enjoy you may go into a career for the wrong reasons i.e. attractive income and perks, security, peer & family pressure etc. I am one of the victims of not taking the time for some self-exploration surrounding my career choice when I was younger. I spent 19 years in a military role that really was not suited to me and I never really felt fulfilled or satisfied in that career. I was attracted to it for the wrong reasons. When I did conduct some self-exploration and started paying attention to some signs I realised that I absolutely loved assisting...

Have you ever wanted something so much that it doesn’t come or doesn’t happen. You’ve done everything you can think of to get this “thing”, you’ve been constantly thinking about having it and yet its still not coming your way… In desperation you finally reach frustration point and “give up”. But then guess what happens next – you get it! That’s because part of the process of positive thinking involves a certain amount of surrendering. When you’ve believe enough in an outcome and have taken every action to achieve it then you must let it go and have faith that it will occur when its meant to. When I talk about faith I’m not referring to a particular religion per se. You could be surrendering to God, Buddha, Allah or the Universe. Whatever external source you believe in is absolutely perfect, it’s the action of belief that is important, not the subject. A mentor of mine once said to me that surrendering your belief is like hot chips and seagulls. If you chase after a seagull to feed ...

We can get so caught up in our actions and in our future plans that once we achieve our goals we just create new ones. For me I seem to be going up and down and this is life. I guess enjoy the highs and reflect on the lows, however to get yourself up as quickly as possible that is the key. The destination will come; it is all about the journey, the learnings and the insights along the way. This is what makes it all worthwhile what you did to get there. I was reading about another channel nine news reader who finally fell pregnant after 11 attempts of assisted conception (IVF)! What a journey she has had thus far, and I know where she is coming from, we too have been there and it took us 9 attempts! The journey is just that the path to the ultimate prize: motherhood. Our journey has taken us to many places in our hearts and minds, emotionally jam-packed and definitely made us closer as a couple. We have weathered many disappointments and heart-ache and now I am glowing at being six m...

Is your life being affected by clutter? Without you realising it your life may be suffering as the result of clutter. Clutter can have a debilitating and detrimental effect on us. Clutter can occur in 2 forms: Physical Mental Physical clutter is the more apparent of the 2 as we can see it. Be aware though that clutter occurs also in our mental space. Let us address both of these types of clutter. Physical clutter occurs when we let go of managing items in our physical space and as a result our physical space becomes crowded, disorganised, unruly and untidy. Typical and common areas that tend to suffer from clutter are garages, offices and bedrooms. On the other hand, mental clutter occurs when we have too many things on our mind to focus on. The mental clutter generally occurs because we are thinking about things that we have not yet taken action on. It is important to understand that clutter in your physical space can lead to clutter in your mental space and visa...
