“BANG!” The gun fires and the race is on. The runners take off across the field. It rained the day before and the ground is still damp. The temperature is cool. It is a perfect day for running.

Finding Your Calling

In one of my recent articles I published on this blog, people repeatedly commented they had no clue how to ‘find their calling’ or their ‘passion’. I therefore though I’d provide people with some more advice to this. Now let’s get one thing straight right here… ‘find your passion’ is the single most terrible piece of advice there is and odds of it ever helping … Continue reading Finding Your Calling

A Short Story of Inspiration For Your Day :-)

Consider the story of two stonemasons. You walk up to the first stonemason and ask, ‘Do you like your job?’.

We all know that improvement comes from many, MANY tiny failures. In fact, the more we fail, the greater our chances of success (not always, but most of the time). I mean, let’s face it.

The one constant we all have in our life, are our problems. We all have many different problems we have to face day in and day out… Like solving your health problems, finding a job, getting the car fixed, meeting the deadline for a report, blah blah blah.
