Working to live vs. living to work
Are you living each day for your work? Have you misplaced the role that work plays in your life – that is as a facilitator. When you’re working overtime to pay the bills and feed you and your family, you’re trading in your most valuable asset – time – for stuff. Is it worth it?

The Pareto Principle: 80/20 rule
Life is all about rules unfortunately. Some make complete sense; some make law and by today’s standard are completely nonsensical. Some however, like Pareto’s Principle, are genius. It basically states that roughly 80{97de8d2e860196f43620abbbd870152438d0e1a3bef5042cd7be1942d94df9d0} of the output is derived from 20{97de8d2e860196f43620abbbd870152438d0e1a3bef5042cd7be1942d94df9d0} of the input. Or alternatively: 80{97de8d2e860196f43620abbbd870152438d0e1a3bef5042cd7be1942d94df9d0} of the progress/work is done in 20{97de8d2e860196f43620abbbd870152438d0e1a3bef5042cd7be1942d94df9d0} of the…

Introverts are not shy
What makes an introvert an introvert? Are they just shy because they’re introverted? Can extroverts be shy? I discuss some of these ideas in this article and hopefully will help you see why, if you’re introverted, you don’t need to be shy.

Recognising what the ego is
For as long as I remember, I’ve understood the concept of ego. We nearly all know what it is… basically just another word for pride, right? Or at least, that’s how it is most often used. When we see someone acting up, they’re being a bit hoity-toity, we are likely to throw the term ego…

Life Coaching Sessions Two and Three
It’s been a few weeks since my second life coaching session and there is a lot to write about. I actually had my 3rd session there on Tuesday so I figured rather than write 2 separate posts, I’d combine the two and see what I can relay from them.

Life Coaching Session One: Myers-Briggs and Temperament
As outlined in an earlier post about life coaching, my intention for the following series of “Life coaching” articles is to detail and document the process. Granted, this is just my experience of it as played out by my particular coach and my own interpretations, so it may not be representative for your experiences. Before…

Life Coaching: What is it?
I first happened upon the term about a year ago when a friend mentioned someone she had met who was a life coach. Before that, I had no idea such a thing existed! I had of course heard of executive and professional coaches, fitness coaching and things like that, so I could imagine to a…

There’s heaps in there to keep you occupied; learning to apply some of the principles here can only make you grow spiritually in a big way I feel. The latest section I’m reading, nearer the end of the book, is…

Just a dumb old mountain…
A song has recently piqued my interest lately. It’s called “Penny to my name”, by Eva Cassidy. To listen to it, it’s not a particularly uplifting song by any means, and it’s flat, melancholy chords don’t do anything to brighten your day. It does however have significance in several ways when it comes to considering…

What would excite me?
I’ve been taking a go at re-reading [AMAZON_AFF item=”4hww” text=”The Four Hour Work Week”] only this time a little more thoroughly and with a view to take notes as I go along -there’s so much in there that it’s impossible to remember all the salient points without jotting down at least a few pointers along the…
