This question was sent to me on 7 June 2020. We need to realise that motivation is a thought issue. The battle to stay motivated is a mental battle.

Success Isn’t Perfection
Is it possible to have success in every area of your life? … Well, that depends on how you define success, Many believe that success means to have no problems or to have things perfect. Others believe it means to be happy or joyful and at peace. If I asked 10 people that same question,…
Fear … A Devil, Not a Feeling
People often refer to having fear as “I feel scared” or “I am stressed”. But we need to understand that fear is not just something you feel (I “feel” scared”). It’s also not who you are (I “am” stressed). Now, if this is true, then it means that you can be free from fear! If…
Happy People Have Easier Lives – True or False?
False. I’ll start by pointing the finger at myself first. Most of my happiest days have not been my easiest days. When I was younger I never really gave it much thought, but as I’ve grown older I’ve become more aware of the patterns I’ve seen in my life. Patterns like: what often seems to…

Failure & Success
What is failure or failing? It’s not a thing. It’s not an action. It’s a mindset. If you spoke to any successful person today, they will tell you of some failures they have had or costly mistakes they have made (if they’re honest) . If failing made a person a failure then we’d all be…
