Thumbnail image for 8 Thought Leaders Who Are Worth Listening To

“He who cannot change the very fabric of his thought will never be able to change reality, and will never, therefore, make any progress.” – Anwar el-Sadat Have you ever come across someone who has a new idea that just seems to make sense? If so, then you’ve come across a ‘thought leader’. If you’ve never heard of the term ‘thought leader’, allow me to help you out. They’re the people who uncover new ways of understanding and knowledge in the world.

“Your belief determines your action and your action determines your results, but first you have to believe.” - Mark Victor Hansen Every limiting belief in existence shares one thing in common. It’s not the thoughts running through our heads, nor is it to do with the individual who has them. No, the one thing that all limiting beliefs have in common is the process needed to break them. This process can work for any and every limiting belief and fear that we, as individuals with our own unique personalities, currently possess. It doesn’t matter whether the limiting belief is that we can’t handle speaking in front of a large audience, or

“I wasn’t losing my focus but I was getting tired of focusing. What I was focusing on was becoming too routine, too ritual, not something that was interesting, new and exciting.” – Picabo Street Have you ever felt like your day has been a waste of time? We’d all like our days to work out fine for us. At the end of an ideal day, I bet you’d want to feel like you got all your chores and jobs done, you looked after yourself well, you spent quality time with your loved ones, and you managed to find the time to pursue a hobby or a profession that you truly

Thumbnail image for Taming The Inner Voice: Part 2

The following article is Part 2 of a 2-part series about taming our inner voices. Part 2 is about using awareness and technique to realise that there is another inner voice inside us. My Discovery As detailed in Part 1 of Taming The Inner Voice, it wasn’t until I realised what my inner voice was comprised of that I could take action to limit its power over me. But despite my efforts to quieten the inner voice, I couldn’t create silence in my mind. Instead of the inner director running the show, another voice popped up instead. This voice was kinder and more loving, able to support me through my

The following article is Part 1 of a 2-part series about taming our inner voices. Part 1 is about discovering where the inner voice has come from. That Voice In Our Heads Our inner voice is what decides how we live our lives. It has also been known as the ‘inner critic’, or the ‘inner judge’. Our inner voices are our own conscience telling us what we should or shouldn’t be doing, and what we can or can’t do. It’s our director in the movie of our lives. Yet there’s a problem – the director is abusive. It often berates its cast and crew, and yells and screams whenever someone

“If I have ever made any valuable discoveries, it has been owing more to patient attention, than to any other talent.” – Isaac Newton Last weekend, I pushed myself too hard. You know how the weekend is meant to be a relaxing time, and a chance to unwind and escape from the gruelling workload of the week?

“Oh you’re going to Nice? That’s nice.” – Numerous people I have returned with a tan. I’ve also returned with a slightly heavier gut (courtesy of the huge portions of meals in France), a girlfriend with half-tanned feet (if you ask politely she’ll show you), and a resolve to get back on the saddle and do some proper work. I also have a patch of sunburn on the left side of my neck. I wasn’t very accurate with my suncream, it seems. But before I dive back into the serious work of personal development and trying to come up with genius posts to ‘wow’ you all, I have a travel
