Thought Of The Week

Today, I want to talk to you about why it is so important to prioritise yourself sometimes and why being selfish is sometimes necessary. 

The word "selfish" is a bit of a dirty word, isn't it? We all know how it sounds. It's considered quite a negative trait to have.  But please hear me out today, because there are times when you’ve actually deliberately got to seem selfish and put yourself first. 

For example, when you’re not well...

Today, I want to talk to you about why you should always try to focus your efforts and be known for only doing one thing wherever you can. 

We often hear people say that you should not spread yourself too thin, but instead only focus on doing one thing well, rather than just doing more things generally. 

Unfortunately, I have noticed that when you try to do too many things, you dilute your energy and expertise. Over the years, I've...

Today, I want to talk to you about how I find that you tend to think more clearly after a good night's sleep. This means that you should always try to get a good sleep or even a quick nap sometimes, so that you can wake up fresh and see things properly. 

Sleep is transformative, isn't it? When you rest well, they say that your brain then processes information better and you make sharper decisions, or solve problems faster than when...

This week, I want to talk to you about how the trials we go through in life usually strengthen us. I'm afraid this is hard to remember when you are going through difficult times.

Life frequently throws challenges our way, doesn't it? However, it's through these difficulties that we develop resilience. It's never easy. You have to remember, though, that every hurdle you face or overcome teaches you vital life lessons.

When faced wit...

THE ONLY ONE THAT'S HOLDING YOU BACK IS YOU...

Today, I want to talk to you about why the only one that’s holding you back often is only you. 

We spend years blaming circumstances for our stagnation, don’t we? We craft stories in our heads about why we can't move forward, believing them so completely that they often become true and are self-fulfilling prophecies. That voice in your head that says "not yet" or "maybe later" - that’s...

Today, I want to talk to you about why you shouldn't be taken in and fooled by the new and shiny things that you come across in life.  Whenever something new comes along, it's really exciting, isn't it? And you convince yourself that you just have to have it, as it will make your life so much better. 

It's funny how we always convince ourselves that this is the thing that will finally sort everything out for us. But here's what I'v...

Today, I want to talk to you about why, if you think it’s impossible, you won’t do it. 

Your brain can’t always tell the difference between real limitations and ones you’ve just accepted as true. Once you label something impossible, your mind stops searching for solutions, filters out contradictory evidence, and redirects energy elsewhere.

I’ve seen this pattern repeatedly in my own life and others’. Someone decides they can’t do s...

This week, I want to talk to you about why it's essential to embrace your unique self and explain how, by doing this, you enhance your authenticity with others and can foster more genuine connections and then always let your personality shine through in whatever you do.

Have you ever found yourself trying to be more serious than light-hearted with people? This may probably be because you consciously or unconsciously fear that peopl...

This week, I want to talk to you about why it’s so important to avoid making silly mistakes, whenever and whenever you can. Avoiding doing something like this will not only save you time in the long run, but will also help you avoid losing credibility and having misunderstandings with people. We are all guilty of it, we all make silly mistakes all the time! But silly mistakes usually only happen when we are rushing through tasks, o...

This week, I want to talk to you about why it's so essential not only to use your talents, but to learn how to use them too, if you want to harness them effectively. 

A natural gift for something is merely a starting point. For us to truly succeed with a natural talent or skill, we must actively develop and refine it too. 

It is only through consistent practice, constructive feedback and continuous learning, that we can then transf...

This week, I want to talk to you about why you shouldn't attempt to please everyone. This is because, by spreading yourself too thin, you risk losing your authenticity.

 

Remember, people often say that you shouldn't try to please all of the people all of the time. Instead, try to focus only on what makes you unique, rather than trying to conform to everyone else's expectations.

 

It’s really liberating to focus on only what truly ...

This week, I want to talk to you about why it's so important to deal with what happens in life, because sometimes things just happen and you cannot do anything about them, so you just have to deal with them as best as you can.

In life, we so often face unpredictable events. Accepting, though, that some situations are beyond our control actually helps us grow and build resilience. Acknowledging that we cannot control everything also...

This week, I want to talk to you about how important it is for you to ask for what you want and, if you don't ask, you don't get and then simply miss out on opportunities that are otherwise available to you, just because you don't voice your desires or needs.

We often find that expressing wants, desires, or needs can sometimes open doors we never imagined. Whether it's us simply asking for somebody else's help or for something else...

This week, I want to talk about how you just cannot consume everything. I'm afraid that too many people think they have an endless supply of energy and time, which allows them to do this. But this is not the reality we live in nowadays, so you must be realistic.

There’s so much information available these days, isn't there? It’s so tempting, isn't it, to try to absorb it all? Yet, trying to consume everything, leaves us feeling ove...

This week, I want to talk about why, on some days, you just feel good to be alive, as everything you see or do seems to be more positive than usual. It’s on these kinds of days that you feel so good to be alive and you experience a feeling of gratitude and joy without doing anything different.

There are moments on some days when everything seems to align perfectly for you, doesn’t there? It's days like these that really renew your ...

This week, I want to talk to you about why it's never too late to do something (again). Unfortunately, life is full of moments that we often let pass by us too quickly and later regret, as we either hesitate or become overly cautious, missing opportunities that never come again. 

Opportunities are all around us, aren’t they? Whether you're contemplating something you think may be too early to do, or something that you need to do so...

This week I want to talk to you about why we must always embrace each day that we live, because we never know how long we have in this life. Every moment is truly valuable to us, so we should make the most of our life. 

Life is so unpredictable, isn't it? Whenever someone we know passes away suddenly, after the initial shock, we usually take stock and become more grateful to have another opportunity to experience more life ourselve...

This week, I want to talk to you about how we should always make the most of life, because we never know how long we have. Life is an exquisite gift. This is why we must always appreciate the small joys around us and seize every opportunity that we can.

Life is so fleeting, isn’t it? Each moment is a precious gem, never to be replicated. We must remember to make the most of every moment. This inherent uncertainty is precisely why w...

​This week, I want to talk about why kindness matters and why it’s good to just be nice to others. Being kind costs you nothing, but it can mean everything to someone else. Whether it’s a simple smile or a kind word, you have the power to make somebody's day. 

It’s really easy to overlook small gestures that can make a big difference to other people. Whenever you choose kindness, you create a ripple effect that touches lives beyond...
