How to Find Life Balance and Be Happy
Look around you, how many people do you see living happy, fulfilling, peaceful lives? Not too many. Why is this? Why are people stressed out and having problems in their work, relationships, and financial life? The simple answer to this question is, their lives are out of balance. The focus is not in the right place. People are not prioritising their lives, they give too much time and energy to one area of their life, whilst neglecting other equally important parts. Too much of anything, even a good thing is not good for you. Too much work, food, exercising, socialising, or time alone is not good for you. Without balance…

The Importance of Courage and Empathy in Leadership
Aristotle called courage the first virtue because it makes all of the other virtues possible. Leadership will be weak without this virtue, and all who follow will feel a lack of strength from the top, leaving people feeling insecure and uncertain, not knowing if their leader is strong enough to carry them through the tough times. Without courage, it’s almost impossible to break through into any new territory. Empathy is also an essential virtue to possess, especially for leaders today, as it enables the leader to listen and understand the needs of others, which allows for a more positive, effective work environment.

20 Steps to Leading Your Own Life: Build More Personal Power and Confidence Everyday
You don’t have to be a CEO of a large company or in a senior position to be the leader of your own life. We are all called to be leaders to a degree. True leaders love to see everyone become a leader, to gain confidence in their ability, to think and act for themselves.

“YOU ARE TODAY WHERE YOUR THOUGHTS HAVE BROUGHT YOU, YOU WILL BE TOMORROW WHERE YOUR THOUGHTS TAKE YOU” JAMES ALLEN Once you understand the power of your thoughts and how they direct your life, the sooner you will be able to use your mind to create the success you desire.

4 Simple Steps to Achieve Any Goal You Want
Anyone can set a few goals, it’s not that difficult to decide on a goal, but how do we achieve them? Goal setting is not a new concept, especially in the business world. We’ve heard about setting short term goals and long term goals, writing them down and magic, we’ve achieved them! Not always the case, so why is this? I think most of us can honestly say that setting goals all sounds very easy in theory, but when it comes to something we really want, it just doesn’t seem to happen. We see it happens for the big guys, but we say – they are just the lucky few. We think…

7 Ways To Overcome Your Fear of Change
“The World Hates Change, Yet It Is The Only Thing That Has Brought Progress.“ Charles Kettering As with all things in life, you can’t overcome your fear of change, until you first become aware that it is a problem. One thing I discovered about change in my life is that change occurs slowly, there is no fast track to lasting positive change, and there are stages to go through to get there. In this article I will take you through some of these stages. Dr. Stan Goldberg carried out twenty-five years of research on ‘How People Change’. His findings concluded that change occurs in stages. He says it’s a gradual process that is tough, but…

How To Find True Lasting Freedom in Your Life
Most people have a desire to find freedom, even if they don’t fully understand what this means. They have a sense that it might just be possible to live an unconstrained life. This idea seems impossible to the rational mind, but somewhere deep within every soul, we know it to be true. Many people will shun the notion of true freedom, because they fear it, but really what is there to fear? What Is Freedom? Freedom is an elusive term. It’s not easy to put your finger on it. The English Oxford Dictionary defines freedom as “the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants.” What Does It Mean To Be Truly Free?…
