So that’s it, you have got a choice to make and you don’t know what to do. We make choices all the time, from choosing what to eat at a restaurant to deciding if we need to accept a job offer or get married. So how do we make a decision? In the first case, most of us find it quite easy as there are no big consequences, so that’s ok. But in the second [...]

It’s ok to make mistakes, we are only humans.

It can be hard to accept that we’ve made a mistake and to take responsibility for it. It’s easier to blame life, to blame others. But by refusing to take responsibility, we end up feeling angry, resentful and unable to focus on something else. We are no longer in the present moment and can miss great opportunities as a result. Taking responsibility means accepting the idea that we are humans, and not robots. We have feelings, we have [...]

When I was young, I was made to believe one thing that I want to share with you today. I was told that I couldn’t write, that I was not good enough. I believed that for years. I thought that I didn’t have any interesting to share and that I just couldn’t make anything interesting. So I didn’t write anything publicly and certainly never shared any of my writings with anyone. Yes, I wrote anyway. [...]

This Challenge Fridays is about re-contacting with friend I hadn’t seen for several years. Because my friend was not keen on using Facebook, twitter or any other kind of social media, I hadn’t had any contact with her since 2008. At the time we were work colleagues as well as friends. I enjoyed meeting her outside work as we had many things in common. The last time I saw her we had dinner at my place [...]

I believe that we have two ways to live our lives: either we wait for things to happen (and they don’t really, do they?) or we create them and can create an amazing life for ourselves. This way of living  can lead to great adventures, to great learning and to excitement. I also believe opportunities are everywhere and that it’s up to us to either open our eyes and seize these opportunities or create them if they don’t [...]

You can and You will!

  To be successful, you need to believe in yourself and trust your ability to do what you have to do. If it’s something new, it’s even more exciting. It’s an opportunity to do something for the first time and to learn. This mix of fear and excitement is something children experience all the time but for adults it doesn’t happen everyday. It’s up to us to push ourselves out of our comfort zone and be ready [...]

We’ve had a fantastic weather for the past three days here, in the UK. After so many months of a cold and wet weather, this was exactly what I needed. I feel inspired by the sun and by the atmosphere it creates. This is the topic of todays’ post. It’s funny to see how the sun can bring so many changes. People feel happier, more relaxed and seem to enjoy life more. You can see them [...]

It’s often quite easy to be motivated for short-term goals because it’s about focussing on something for a short time. We have got the energy, the commitment and the rewards rather quickly. But how about long-term projects like starting a business and make it work, lose weight or finding the right partner? How can we stay motivated and keep going forward towards our goal. Here are a few tips:   1) Allow yourself to take breaks When [...]
