That moment when the penny drops for a client is one of THE BEST feelings in the world. Suddenly, they are able to see past the illusions created or reinforced by ‘that voice’ in their head and see how their thinking has been creating what they are experiencing and not the other way around. That voice, your self talk, gains most of its power… Continue reading here

There have been lots of little mishaps and hardly anything’s going according to plan. If I plan to meet up with someone, it doesn’t happen; things have been breaking down; when I arrange to go somewhere, for one reason or another, I am not able to go – that kind of thing.

]]> The last couple of months have been a bit of a rollercoaster for me, it’s quite literally been one thing after the other. There have been lots of little mishaps and hardly anything’s going according to plan. If I plan to meet up with someone, it doesn’t happen; things have been breaking down; when I arrange to go somewhere, for one reason or another, I am not able to go – that kind of thing. I’m not one for always pushing my plans at any cost (anymore) and am more of a believer in making plans but staying open to how it will unfold.

However, despite this outlook it’s still been a challenging time which reminded me of this Chinese fable: A father and his son owned a farm. They did not have many animals, but they did own a horse. One day the horse ran away. “How terrible, what bad luck,” said the neighbours. “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?” replied the farmer. Several weeks later the horse returned, bringing with him four wild mares. “What marvellous luck,” said the neighbours. “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?” replied the farmer. The son began to learn to ride the wild horses, but one day he was thrown and broke his leg. “What bad luck,” said the neighbours. “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?” replied the farmer. The next week the army came to the village to take all the young men to war. The farmer’s son was still disabled with his broken leg, so he was spared. “Good luck, bad luck, who knows?” Here are 3 examples of my own good luck, bad luck situations: 1. In December, I locked myself out of my car with the engine running and had to wait 3 hours for the Locksmith. Good luck, bad luck who knows? As I waited in the cold for the Locksmith, I could see clearly how this had happened. Not just the absent-mindedness but

It’s not about finding that perfect diet that will make the pounds drop off transforming your life into some kind of Hollywood movie. There’s something else going on, something much deeper than eating too much food and not taking enough exercise.
