Rest. We all know we need it. Most of us don’t get enough of it.
And let’s be honest, life is busy, there’s always stuff going on. Who wants to potentially miss out on something exciting because we’re doing something as boring as rest?!
But what if our understanding of rest is all wrong? Rest isn’t about [...]

I want to kick of this week by simply sharing three great quotes from a book called ‘Story’ by Robert McKee.
“True character is revealed in the choices a human being makes under pressure – the greater the pressure, the deeper the revelation, the truer the choice to the character’s essential nature.”

Today I simply want to share something by the speaker, consultant and author Jon Gordon. I found it really helpful and thought provoking.
A young man asked me the other day if I had one piece of advice to give him, as he graduates college, what it would be. I told him to be humble and [...]

Today I want to share a wonderful quote from Desmond Tutu. In many ways it is an extension of my post about helping others that was published on Monday. I discovered it this week and found it truly inspiring.

On a scale of one to ten (ten is high), how curious are you?
You don’t have to rank yourself on that scale, but the question about curiosity is an important one. If we are going to be people who fully develop and maximise our potential, it will be in large part because of our curiosity.
