In a social media obsessed world it's easy to start focusing too much on what others are doing and how their lives seem better than yours in comparison. This is a game no one can win that seems to be driving escalating levels of anxiety and depression across the developed world. In this episode I want to share a great quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson that helps us all focus upon the unique and special gifts that each one of us needs to bring to life in the world.

Let's not make life any harder than it needs to be. Why spend another day forcing yourself to do things that you hate. When you feel it's time to make some changes in life then the first step is to begin paying attention to where your internal energy is moving. What gives you joy? What gives you energy? In this episode we explore the simple small steps that can really create change.

Are you truly happy with where you are in life right now? Is there ever a sense in your heart or mind that maybe something needs to change? If you take a moment to look at nature and the very cosmos itself you will quickly notice that change is at the very heart of all created reality. If the universe is in a constant state of change then surely we are part of that same dynamic. In this episode we talk about knowing when it's time to change.

Wouldn't it be nice if we could listen to a speaker, read a book or take a course and suddenly find ourselves overcome with a powerful sense of super-charged motivation and drive? Why does it often seem so hard to do the things we feel we 'should' do? In this episode I help you uncover the real reason that you might be struggling with motivation and what you can do to change it.

In this episode I want to talk with you about the possibility that the challenges and difficulties you experience might also be the way in which the universe is helping you to grow and develop. The amount of distraction and noise in modern life can lead to a sense of despondency and an inability to sense a deeper purpose behind the small details of daily life. Let's take a moment to reframe and discover that we are being helped in ways we may not notice.

Why is it so hard to do some of those daily things that we know we need to do? Why is it so easy to do the things that we know we should avoid doing? Being your own worst enemy is not something you would choose right? In this episode I explore the evolutionary reasons that make it hard to execute the daily rituals that can create long-lasting change. I also offer some simple pillars for doing the hard things that we need to do every single day.

Many people assume that they will be happy the moment they have a ton of money, a perfect body and global fame. The truth is that the moment you get all your dreams to come true you are going to be miserable! I know, it sounds crazy right? The truth is that life is not about getting everything we want. It is much more about how the problems, issues and obstacles on the journey can help us to grow, develop and become the person we were truly made to become.

In today's episode we are going to explore one of the most important bedrock principles of managing the times of stress and overwhelm that we all face. I want to talk with you about the impact of language patterns and how to use your body instead of your mind to make the changes you need to make. When we are stressed it will rarely be our brains that get us out of trouble in the short-term. There is another way. Let's discuss it.

In today's episode we go deeper into a powerful quote from the great psychoanalyst Carl Jung. Yung believed that it was possible to waste our lives by not living up to the incredible potential that each of us carries. This is not about living up to some cultural ideal of success or copying another person's life path. It's about simply making the very best of what you have been given.

Do you ever feel like you can only be happy when you have achieved all your goals and organised your life to be exactly the way you want it? So many of us spend our lives waiting to be happy at some point in the future instead of finding reasons to encounter joy and gratitude on a daily basis through simple things. 

This is a special episode where I reply to a lovely letter I recently received from a regular listener. It's time to evaluate our cultural obsession with success and fame as opposed to a life of sacrifice and service. Is the goal of life to make as much money as possible and pursue our own goals? What about the need to serve and focus upon the needs of others? 

The pace of modern life often means that we can end up living on autopilot. Today I share a great quote about the need to constantly review what really matters and then find the courage to act on it. I also share the story of Peter Graham where we learn that no matter what we have come from it's possible to turn things around. 

In today's episode I walk you through the steps I take every single day to maximise my physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Do you struggle with stress, depression or anxiety as a result of COVID or just due to the pressure of daily life? Let me share the simple daily steps that help me avoid negative mental states and stay calm and balanced on a more regular basis.

We all face moments in life when it seems like our world is crashing down around us. It can be a financial, health or relationship issue that forces us to confront our greatest fears of death, failure or abandonment. In this episode I want to offer some encouragement to us all about how these darkest moments of our lives can be the moments that lead us into higher levels of connection, success and purpose.

There is a reason that your best goals and plans often seem to struggle against a powerful unseen opponent. That opponent lies hidden deeply in your subconscious mind but there is something you can do about it. In today's episode I explore the tension between our conscious mind and the deeper forces that drive us. I also explore how choosing high quality habits can undo a lot of the strain and wasted energy we deploy in trying to fight against ourselves.

In today's episode we link up some of the insights from business giants Ray Dalio and Ben Horowitz. Why does nature seem to always be developing, growing and improving and why does our attitude to 'struggle' determine so much of the results we create i life. No matter what you are facing in life right now, this episode will encourage you to make the best of the challenges in your path as you build the life you desire.

After a short break I'm back to share some daily encouragement. One of the great truths of existence is that every single day we have the chance to change or the possibility of remaining the same. During these difficult global times it is time to refocus on the daily invitation to growth no matter what we face. In this episode I want to share with a simple quote that can keep you focused on the need to change and grow through the daily circumstances of your life.

Most people spend a large part of their life allowing their day-to-day experiences to dictate their emotional and behavioural responses. In this episode I am going to share with you a scientifically validated system of navigating the positive and negative experiences that we all encounter. Once you begin to put this into practice you will be on the path to a more joyful and balanced encounter with reality.

Success seems a lot like an iceberg. We see only the tip. We see only the end result of success but we rarely see the years of effort and dedication that created the outcomes that successful people pursue. In today's episode I am going to share a recent story about how showing up every day and staying committed can lead to the most phenomenal results. Listen in and find out more.

There is a massive illusion at the heart of our culture that some people are just born with the necessary talent that takes them to greatness. It's easy to believe that talent alone is all it takes to get all you want in life. In this message I am going to share an inspirational message that it takes so much more. Today you need to recalibrate and start stepping up into a bigger world of potential.
