It was just small talk in a blown-out church in Central London at the end of a bad summer. Afterwards, I was never the same.

Kind of a bold statement to make considering freedom can be defined in so many ways.
Dear Reader,
When I was 39 years old, on my road to becoming a psychotherapist, I stumbled on extremely valuable information — information I had never heard before. It was on emotions and how stuck emotions are…
We’re all born with the knowledge of who we are inside. Kids don’t ameliorate their ideas of their behavior. They just learn to do the things that are expected of them. They learn to live in the box.
We all make our own box. And to fit inside it we often need to cut off part of ourselves that extend past the confines of the…
For sure, having a structured day and week gives you a basis to even evaluate your productivity. This article says it better with the da Vinci structure. And it’s really paramount to plan your week on Sunday… I found it difficult doing it on Mondays, little did I figure haha!
Reframing our language to invite self-love & understanding
I work in a corporate IT company known for its beautiful workplace and cleanliness. On one interesting day, when I was entering the washroom to take a leak, I saw the Janitor sitting across the room with a long face. There was something about his sadness that shook me, and hence I went on to ask him…

Thank you for this excellent article.
Dylan, I totally agree, “Your personal infrastructure is growth mindset. Without growth mindset, where you are today is where you will be 10 or 20 years later, no matter how high your IQ is”.

Ben, these are great insights. “Just because you’ve played a role in the past doesn’t mean you are wedded to that role. If your current context requires something different, dismiss who you’ve been in the past. Allow…

The most important quality you need to cultivate to have your big dreams come true.
Brad, this took me almost a decade to develop into what I call my SuccessRhythm. But man, it has made all the difference in the world.
One of the unanticipated outcomes is the indomitable mental, physical and spiritual strength one develops via habit (I believe Napoleon Hill dubbed this Cosmic Habit Force).
We’re curious. We read. We learn. We grow.
Our mental programming has a great impact on our lives. That is good news and bad news at the…
Tom, a fantastic read! I love these words of yours,
“Commit to it or do nothing.
Nobody has the time to try something only to quit two weeks later.”
I think I will watch Star Wars this weekend!

So you’re clear that your mastery, up to this point, lies in approaching almost every…
Tim, great article!I like Stoicism in that it explains you have one job and that’s to be a good human being. I like this, “Learning to live with less will create space in your life for the things that truly matter to you”
So true!
I’ve decided something simple. I will take on a public challenge every month in 2018.
Two mornings ago I woke up and went for a walk in a quiet, orderly Houston, TX. neighborhood. We stayed the night with old friends. Mostly we stay in state parks so sleeping in a bed…
Cathy, great article! Love this, “In a culture where individualism is prioritized, there’s enhanced value in connecting with people who can help you look past the negatives and share their optimism with you”.
Self Awareness,
It’s interesting, for me, how you sticked to that idea around the “Medium incident”. And how this relates with the “Dragon”.
The reason is that I experienced something similar in other occasions. What was a bothering detail for others unleashed a complete new perspective in me. I sometimes want to go deep in understanding…
There’s nothing wrong with the status quo.
Not what we think people want us to say. Not what we think will buy us love and acceptance. Say what is in our heart, what we…
Valeriano, WOW! This is profound, “What about promoting a culture that leads us to have each other’s back, no matter the job title or the hierarchy?”

Tiffany, great advice in the article! “So if you want people to recognize you, whether you’re a content marketer (like me), a school teacher, or a doctor, you’ll need to pinpoint what your strengths are and keep powering through them until you’ve become the most reputable expert of your field”.
Thank you Brenda for your response and for reading.
You can always smile more, and gratitude is always the right attitude.
