I’ve just returned from an entertaining and enlightening day in the presence of authors/coaches/inspirational speakers Robert Holden and Michael Neill. Among the many nuggets they shared with us was the following metaphor. If you were given the choice of a sophisticated computer with a huge hard drive that wasn’t connected to the Internet or a sleek laptop with a fast broadband connection, what … [Read more...] about Plug in to wisdom and surf the web of life

Embrace your beautiful imperfection
I’ve had the honour of being part of three really special, authentic conversations today, and one theme that has recurred in these conversations has been that of self-acceptance. In my experience, the path to the authentic self can only be followed by accepting all of your other selves first - the ones you identify with, the ones you reject, the ones you project and the ones you disown.

The importance of making a sacred schedule
On January 1, 2012 I made a rod for my own back. And just for this post, I’m not going to investigate that metaphor (although I could ask, what rod is that rod?). That rod was, in fact, the resolution that I would write one post for every day of the year. I have managed to stick to that resolution - even when I was suffering from food poisoning - and only on a couple of occasions have I … [Read more...] about The importance of making a sacred schedule
