Make your goal a means to an end and the result of doing other things skillfully along the way. When you reach your goal, do not be surprised when you look back and realize that the real fun was the journey, not the destination.
Artistotle said, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” Without self-knowledge we drift, or even worse, we waste our time and energy on goals that are meaningless or beyond our control. Not much has changed over the last three thousand years.
This blog continues examining the differences between a congruent goal and the ones that we choose for the wrong reasons. Goals are critical. If you do not know where you are going, then any road will take you there; it will be a long journey, and it may not be a happy one. The shortest route lies in choosing the correct goal.
Mindfulness is one of the techniques included in my NLP coaching programs. Whatever you wish to call it, you will have likely experienced it before, and you know that it was a great feeling. At such times, it feels as if life is easy, and all you have to do is push at open doors.
Confidence is a very influential component for getting lucky, and it is therefore the second secret. It should come as no surprise that lucky people have a great amount of confidence. The rest of us look enviously at them and wish that we could be more confident, too....
In Part 1 of this blog I suggested we are not alone, but connected to the 8 billion other people who we share our planet with. People either get this concept, or they don’t. Even if they get just a little bit it is often enough to catapult their life to at least the next level.
Many people throughout the ages have believed in the existence of infinite intelligence, although they might have used different words to describe it. They feel that their best achievements have more to do with outside forces than their own undoubted ability. If this...
All of us at some point have to step out of our comfort zone. My general advice to anybody is to accept nothing without exploring all other possible options.

Knowing the best way to talk to others is very important if we wish to get our message heard. Talking can get us into all kinds of problems, and this short video gives a few suggestions to avoid common pitfalls.
Envy has been considered one of the seven deadly sins throughout history. Whilst this is true I just wonder whether it is possible to give the emotion of envy a little nudge and turn it into something far more positive? What do you think? This video might just give...
There is a popular saying that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. I prefer to look on the bright side of life, and at least consider anything that looks good. On this occasion the mice were correct, and were not fooled by the cat’s clumsy...
Sometimes a reward may not be what it seems. A badge of honour can in reality be a badge of dishonour to everybody else. You might say the vicious dog got what he deserved. Or you might feel sorry for him perhaps?
The charcoal burner and the fuller lived in the same village and became friends. However there very different jobs placed a limit on their friendship. Whether this limit was real or imagined is the question? As usual with Aesop there are several different conclusions...
Perhaps we should truly value what we already have, rather than think too much about what we want in the future? Not for the first time less is often more.
There are many reasons why Aesop’s stories have resonated so strongly with people of all ages and all cultures for at least 2,500 years.
Every story has at least one powerful point which I can use in my work with elite performers. Everybody has the potential to be an elite performer in at least one area of their life, so these videos are well worth checking out.
The mice had suffered enough and they really had to take action. They called an Extraordinary General Meeting to discuss how to deal with the vicious cat. They came up with a cunning plan but unfortunately forgot one critical detail. We often make the same mistake...
