Deep down a part of me feels this consistent and lingering sense of invisibility as I walk this earth. Certain days it’s not as overwhelming, but on most days, its presence feels almost suffocating.

We consume too much stuff every day and it is ruining our brain and attention span.
So why are we prosecuting people then who commit homicide, rape, and other atrocities (which apparently match your daily “business”)? Or keep reminding ourselves constantly how bad mass genocides were?

I want so many things for myself. More than just love, money, material things; I want to feel successful in a well-rounded way. I want to have a career that I’m proud to showcase, and also proud to collect a check from. Getting there, I know, is not as easy as…

It’s amazing what we become “Used To”
A great way to stay positive every day is to “shake things up” and attempt one new task a day. Whether it is something simple like switching up your routine or trying something spontaneous, changing things up helps break the repetitive feeling you feel when your days seem to all blend…

You need to understand this first; Why do people procrastinate?
One major reason is, procrastinating is an escapist attitude. Most people keep postponing because they don’t have the courage to face up the consequences and…
I recommend dropping negative self talk completely. If it starts with “I can’t” rephrase it. Your subconscious internalizes what you say and creates unnecessary mental blocks whenever you’re forced to confront a problem that deals with that issue. Instead, focus your language on how you can resolve the problem.
Let’s keep it simple with 3 easy steps (OAA Cycle):
You read that right, turns out, money can in fact buy you happiness. However, there is a catch. You need to spend it on others, not yourself, to reap in the benefits.
Nicola Huelin, the founder of Mpower for mums in business, tells us her story to becoming an award winning, accredited business coach and mentor.
I think you will have to look at:
1) The pros and cons of moving vs not moving.
2) Weigh the benefits of the opportunities that may arise when moving vs not moving.
3) Weigh the current challenges vs the challenges of moving.
When I picture myself 10 years from now, I envision these things:
Nice piece, thanks for this mate. I often try to illuminate how we humans like to romanticize things, and how we selectively choose and discard other things that we might find personally inconvenient. We do this to the degree it suits our purpose. Partly because of this, I’m not a big fan of life hack listicles and one-size-fits-all generalities. So…
Update on me: It has been a week, an odd heartbreaking one, full of a lot of emotions. I…
Isn’t it interesting how the things we hate most about other people might be what we hate about ourselves? And the things that bother us and make us angry are things that we also do to others… Lately I’ve come to realize how true this is for me. I’m often really hard on myself…
I’m not good enough.
I’m such an idiot.
I’m so fat.
The 2 Conflicting Leadership Skills You Must Use With Your Team Every Day (Or They Will Fail)
“Effective and impactful leadership is difficult to master.” —…
I find it’s not the type of foods that are usually at issue but the amount of food. Overindulgence is at the heart of the issue, driven by a focus on instant gratification without consideration for the medium or long term consequences.
One technique I use to overcome this is by visualizing the positive aspects of what I want, then before I go to sleep at night, write a few positive things in my journal that I completed that day.
Communication is key.
As clichè as it sounds, it’s very true. Speaking on this generation, as individuals we are so sh*t with confrontation that we seek to escape it as soon as we can. Especially the youths to the young adults, we tend to avoid “bad situations” rather than to just sort it out and communicate with our…
It is ludicrously absurd to think you can do everything. Even the most accomplished people do essentially 0% of everything. Yet, if you don’t try, you will remain blind to the unlimited potential.

SET AFFIRMATIONS FOR YOURSELF
An affirmation is a powerful method to become what you’re seeking to create in your life. It works so well because it directly impacts your thinking. It’s something you can read out loud to yourself every day, first thing in the morning…
Squares, frustration, blockage.
Do you ever hold your tongue to prevent the possibility of rejection? Do you fear judgment or criticism – fear you’ll be misunderstood, your idea is stupid, or you’re better off quiet?
The most important lesson learned from Amal Acadmey is “Leadership”
A positive affecting affirmation to help yourself:
"I believe in who and what I am striving to be worth absolute admiration. I accept who and what I was with absolute appreciation. I am continuing to keep up this positive loving attitude and behaviour…
“If you want to experience enormous success, the outside of you must reflect the inner you.”
“If you want your life to change, then you need to change.”
Only two quotes to fit here,because frankly,I could have quoted your entire article, Anthony.
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about Reps and Sets — how repetition and making little improvements everyday can make a big impact in the long run.
And October’s version of this list arises from it’s resting place and lets out a chilling breath. Or something horror themed.
Anyway, let’s get down to business for October’s version of my life reboot.
Yes, you are.
I’m in full agreement Steve. In the position paper in which our for-purpose business was described, our founder raised the question of whether other people could be considered of lesser value:
The advice I’d give my younger self is be intentional about every single day. Do something daily to appreciate what you have and do something daily that will compound over time and build a lasting legacy.
You keep telling yourself you gotta be strong.

The short answer: No. The bottom line is you get out of life what you put in.
“Do it with passion or not at all.”
I secure my freedom in the world to the degree that I make the world my own. It belongs to me to the degree that I gain it and take possession of it for myself, in whatever way that I can. If I am weak, then the means that I use to make the world my own are not very strong.
One of the greatest joys in life is to learn new things and gain an increased awareness of our world. Being conscious and aware is what this mental energy is all about. We use this energy when we absorb and learn from our environment. We develop it by becoming walking question marks. We…
How many times did life push you through your limits? That is one of the signs that you’re living. When you come to think of it, life becomes boring if you have a daily routine and you settle with what’s beneficial for you. Being able to transcend and to know that you’re capable of…
OWN YOUR THOUGHTS
‘In the first few milliseconds of perceiving something we don’t only consciously comprehend what it is but also decide if we like it. Cognitive unconscious determines this’.
Most people and companies never get past the need to innovate and think outside the box.
Modeling success is a great place to start, but in a constant changing world, agility and humility are seldom in sufficient supply with most people to achieve greatness.
