It’s Not A Gift

The ability to play football is not a gift. In fact, I don’t believe there really is anything that we are “gifted” with. The definition of gifted means “talented, accomplished, proficient, expert.” Society deems someone “gifted” when they are successful at what they set out to do. I’m going to argue that you may not even need…

When We Just Do It…

Just do it… The Nike advice is so very sound… Waking up early to climb up a steep mountain doesn’t always seem appealing, I realised today…  ? My waking feeling was that it was all rather hard, the terrain, the thin air, needing to do it early before the blazing sun appeared over the mountain…….

Why Do I Feel Fragile?

This week I feel a bit strange. My mood has dipped, and while I expected to be happy about my children returning to school after the summer holiday, I actually feel deflated. Yes, I admit, I miss my darlings when they are at school. They might squabble and shout, but they are my girls, and…

Up or Down

What do we see? One complexity is flying up in the sky, above another complexity. Maybe the second one is the ground? Maybe it also floats in space? Maybe the ground is floating in space? If it does, then this goes along with what I started to experience more and more, that our reality is…

The “Destiny” Secret

A reader commented that they’d like my take on “destiny and love” and since it comes up with many, many clients, I’ll share my insights!
