Mindset

Thoughts on self-belief, choices, habits and the stories we tell ourselves.
Mindset

Everything is Temporary

When you’re in a dark place it can feel like it will last forever. It won’t. Knowing everything is temporary makes the hard times easier and the good times worth savouring.

Mindset

Trying is Lying!

“I’ll try to be there at 11” or “I will be there at 11”: which friend turns up? Why telling your brain you will, rather than you’ll try, makes it happen.

Mindset

Never judge people by their past

That includes you. Many people carry guilt for years over something they said or did, but mistakes are how we grow, and the guilt doesn’t have to stay.

Mindset

Are you a prisoner or a pioneer?

Happy, successful people haven’t had better lives; they’ve chosen not to let disappointments hold them back. What you aren’t changing, you’re choosing.
