Fear and public speaking: a worst memory! 2008-07-31 08:47:22 Fear is crazy cool.
Crazy because it forces you to do some crazy stuff that can be pretty embarrasing later on; cool because it can save your life.
The key is finding a balance so that your natural responses to fear are justified and managed. (Note to self - screaming and leaping on the table when a [...]
Change your body image: first steps 2008-07-30 08:14:41 Body image is everything! - Just ask my 14 year old daughter!
Rather than eat breakfast in the morning, or pack her school things, or - she spends 98% of her pre-bus morning time on her looks. Does she look good when leaving on the bus? Of course! But personally I think she [...] Read more:Change

Feel fresh in the morning! 2008-07-30 08:13:32 I’ve never been a morning person - I love that time of the night when the kids are in bed, the house is quiet.. you can do whatever you want!

It’s amazing how your attitude
can have so much to do with how successful you are in life. Yes it will make a difference to your business and work opportunities, but I’ve also discovered there are other ways my life has undergone [...]
Emotions 2008-07-30 08:10:58 Emotions are one of the great parts of being human!
Think about the faces you make when you drop one of your partner’s favourite things and it breaks - you look up at each other…. what is conveyed? Anger? Saddness? Irritation? In that split second, your facial expression tells a thousand [...]
Am I happy with life? 2008-07-30 08:09:04 It’s an interesting question - am I happy with life? The answer to this is so subjective - take two people and put them in identical situations - you may find that one person feels happy and fulfilled, and the other person feels like something is missing.
There is no foolproof algorithm that can be [...]
Love Life: just a slogan? 2008-09-05 03:12:51 Today I was drinking a caffeine drink (one of the many red bull look-a-likes) called Hype! Energy. The slogan
on the can was “LIVE LIFE - LOVE LIFE - LOVE HYPE”.

It got me thinking about not only the way companies market products and target buyers, but the way we throw around slogans [...]
Add some FLAIR to your life 2008-09-04 07:53:19 When I was in high-school, I was very much a type A personality. I certainly didn’t mind being the center of attention, and I was particularly loud and generally attention seeking!

I was the kind of guy that just about announced his presence when entering a room, and was really a bit of [...]

Do I need to work harder? 2008-09-01 11:31:15 My extended family is quite a mixed bag!

While we all have similar traits and personalities, we also have differences in the way we go about day to day jobs, differences in the way we react to different situations & certainly different work standards.
One of my brothers is a ridiculously hard worker who always [...]
Get excited about life! 2008-08-31 06:49:55 I love seeing people who are enthusiastic and passionate about life!

Kids are great because they don’t hold back with their reactions. At a birthday party for example - that instant where you see excitement, passion and pure joy across a child’s face. They’re not concerned with who is watching [...] Read more:excited
Personal Growth: where to start 2008-08-27 05:24:29 Life is all about being happy.

Depression and men 2008-08-23 13:33:13 There are certain responsibilities that come with being the ‘man of the house’.

A man is also expected to compliment or be a buffer to others in the household [...]

A simple statement, but one that has genuine meaning

People thrive on being with and around other people. Depending on your upbringing and personality, some people find it easier to be around and interact with other people, and others find it terrifying and difficult. Regardless, we were all [...] Read more:loneliness
Stepping outside your comfort zone 2008-09-23 13:03:28 credit: stevenjude
I was talking to someone tonight about people who stay in the same job for years and years but don’t seem to like the job! You know the type of person I’m talking about: they always seem to be particularly moody, never go out of their way to help anyone and permanently seem [...] Read more:comfort

Worry and ‘what if?’ 2008-09-22 06:25:07 credit: bugmonkey
One of my daughters is quite the ‘what if?’ person. You know, “what if” we don’t make it there on time? “What if” the dentist has to pull out all my teeth? She always looks quite concerned when she asks the question, and I’ve recently been on a quest to try [...]
Go on, motivate me! 2008-09-20 09:48:59 credit: Jonas in China
Have you ever had those days where you’re sure there was supposed to me more to life than this? You’re lying in bed thinking, “is this my destiny?”

On religion and man-made belief: “my last prayer” 2008-09-19 13:16:04 credit: marcelgermain
I was reading an interesting anonymous post by someone from Australia this week titled So Here It Is, My Last prayer.

It’s not all about you: the bigger picture 2008-09-17 10:50:05 One thing I always try to keep in the back of my mind as I plod through this crazy life is seeing the bigger picture.

You hear variations of this phrase thrown out there all the time, often in reference to people’s work habits: “He can look at things from a different perspective” “That’s [...]
I laugh at completely inappropriate times 2008-09-16 02:11:57 It would be fair to say that there have been several times in my life when I have smiled, smirked, snorted and even laughed at completely
inappropriate times.

It’s bad enough that this has happened, but what makes it worse is that I really honestly don’t mean to! And it really honestly sounds [...]
Improve productivity, fast! 2008-09-14 18:25:48 I’ve often found my great intentions to get things done during free time periods in the week are foiled by some kind of external influence, eg:

Surprised by a dying patient’s final words 2008-09-12 09:10:50 Last night I was in an emergency cubicle with a man who was dying. He was 62 years old with end stage respiratory failure, and had a background of chronic emphysema.

Look at me: I’m right in front of you! 2008-09-10 06:15:07 A few years ago there was a principal change at my kids local school. The previous headmaster was a really well liked guy, and many people were upset that he was leaving.

Great relationships don’t happen by fluke 2008-10-09 05:11:06 I’ve been married for some years now, and if there’s one thing I’ve discovered, it’s that maintaining a relationship doesn’t work on when you’re on autopilot! Just when I hit a point where I’m thinking “well at least that’s an area I don’t have to worry about!”, I’m brought back to the stark reality [...] Read more:Great
Attitude, change.. and burnout 2008-10-07 21:41:07 credit: solcis
Are you ever restless like me? Lately I’ve had an ever growing niggle in my soul that’s crying out “there’s more than this!” I’m restless because I’m hungry. Hungry to soak up as much information as I can in order to make myself a better person, but also to improve my [...]
Starting things that don’t get fin…. 2008-10-04 12:06:11 credit: una cierta mirada
When I think back over the last 10 years of my life, I can recall lots of times where I started to do something but never ended up finishing it. Some of these were trivial things
like jigsaw puzzles, others were larger scale projects. Most of the time my intentions [...]
