Change, evolve, and start over when you must

The truth is, no one wins a game of chess by only moving forward; sometimes you have to move backward to put yourself in a position to win. And this is a perfect metaphor for life.

Sometimes when it feels like you’re running into one dead end after another, it’s actually a sign that you’re not on the right path.

Accept and embrace daily discomfort, for the right reasons

Discomfort is a form of pain, but it isn’t a deep pain – it’s a shallow one. It’s the feeling you get when you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone. 

The key thing to understand is that most forms of discomfort actually help us grow into our strongest and smartest selves.

Consciously embrace the fact that you are more than the one broken piece of you

Consciously embrace the fact that you are more than the one broken piece of you

When times are tough, and some piece of you is chipped and broken, it’s easy to feel like everything – ALL of you – is broken along with it. But that’s not true.

We all have this picture in our minds of ourselves – this idea of what kind of person we are. When this idea gets even slightly h...

Change your mantra from, “I have to be better,” to, “I will do my absolute best today”

Change your mantra from, “I have to be better,” to, “I will do my absolute best today”

Goals are important. All journeys of change must begin with a goal. And you also must have determination in order to achieve your goals.

However, what do you think happens when you are too determined, or too obsessed with a goal? You begin to nurture another belief: who you are right n...

Be mindful

Mindfulness as a daily ritual is the ultimate challenge and practice. It’s a way of living, of being, of seeing, of tapping into the full power of your humanity.

It’s simple, but far from easy. Practice:

Ho to move forward: Practice thinking better about yourself

Ho to move forward: Practice thinking better about yourself

You have to admit, you’ve spent a lot of your life subconsciously belittling yourself. Thinking you’re not enough. Trying to be someone else. Someone who fits in.

But you’re at a point now where you’re seeing things differently. The real battle is always in your mind. And your mind...

Find something to be grateful for in the present moment, despite the situation

Find something to be grateful for in the present moment, despite the situation

Happiness doesn’t always make us grateful, but gratitude always helps us smile. Some may say that’s a cliché, but it’s not. Gratitude is the foundation. And happiness is simply the sacred experience of living with a genuinely grateful heart.

Being grateful starts with being present. You can...

Do something small for someone else

It’s one of life’s great paradoxes: when we serve others we end up benefiting as much if not more than those we serve. 

So whenever you feel a bit lost or stuck with your own issues, try to shift your focus from your circumstances to the circumstances of those around you.

Ho to move forward: Let go of the things you don’t need

Ho to move forward: Let go of the things you don’t need

Being able to distinguish needs from wants is essential in every walk of life. Never let go of an outcome you truly need in your life, but be reasonably flexible on the outcomes you want but could live fine without.

In other words, choose your battles wisely, and don’t let “perfect” become...

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

samz905

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Jamyson Haug

Ghazala Begum

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
