A = personal joy B = the work we do C = sustainable fulfilment and contribution and an emanation of joy I’ve heard it said that our ego/fear will tell us to put effort into work, and then we will reap the rewards. Our ego/fear will tell us that if we work hard …
I’m noticing a shift in perspective about myself. It comes from becoming more conscious about whether I say ‘maybe’ to invites or requests, or whether I actually check in with myself and give a decisive ‘yes’ or ‘no’. It helps massively to give a ‘yes’ or a ‘no’ rather than a maybe, …
Last week, as Keivor and I were heading back to the UK on the last leg of our road trip I started to feel my usual sense of concern about going back home. I have a beautiful life here in the UK, but I’ve noticed that invariably I will connect to something …
