YOU ARE IN CONTROL OF YOUR DESTINY

Nobody can set limits on what you can or can’t achieve without your permission. Nobody knows you like you know yourself. You are in control of your own destiny.

WORK INDEPENDENTLY OF OTHERS

I am not suggesting that enlisting the help of others is futile — we are a highly interdependent species — but ultimately, this all comes down to you: It is you who needs to make that choice. It is you that needs to do the work. It is you that needs to take action. It is you that needs to knu...

MAKE FAILURE NOTHING TO BE ASHAMED OF

Failure is nothing to be ashamed of; it often means that we're pushing our boundaries; giving our all to something. It is often a reflection of giving our absolute best. It is often a reflection of our desire to succeed. With the possibility of great failure comes the possibility of great success...

LIFE IS CONSTANTLY IN FLUX

Life is constantly in flux and there are no guarantees that your current way of life will still be available tomorrow. Look around you. Make the most of what you have now. Live a life that you will one day enjoy telling stories to your grandkids about. Whether you start with a problem focus o...

DRAW UP A SCHEDULE

Whilst nobody can dictate how you should live your life, there are some general laws we can follow. Some supercharging guidelines that we can live by. Some guidelines that help us become more in-tune with ourselves.

LYING ON YOUR DEATHBED

Do you think you’ll lie on your deathbed wishing that you hadn't been as true to yourself as you had been? Can you honestly say that you'll lay there wishing you hadn't tried as hard as you had? Will you regret all the times you had given something your all? As long as I continue living my absolu...

DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF

It is in not giving up that we learn far more about ourselves than we would if we were to continue believing the limiting self-talk that broadcasts inside our heads twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; limiting talk that has been programmed by others who are inadvertently perpetuating thei...

GRAB HOLD OF THE WHEEL AND TAKE CHARGE OF THE DIRECTION YOUR LIFE IS HEADED IN

We can continue choosing the easy road that provides very little in the way of resistance/reward — forever being walked through the safe option and never actually getting what we want from life — continuing to victimise ourselves with whatever story we have written that excuses us from realis...

THE MOST IMPORTANT INVESTMENT YOU WILL EVER MAKE IS IN YOURSELF

Invest some time establishing your truth. Read. Meditate. Workout. Be still. Be you. Nurture that fierce power inside of you that says, “I can and I will”; we’ve all got it inside us but it has been masked by years of social conditioning. It has been masked by years of taking on board other p...

BUILD A BETTER NORMAL

Life as you knew it may have taken a dramatic shift and you may have had your preferences swept out from under your feet, but I truly believe it is within your power to start building a new — better — normal. It is well within your power to begin owning your life.

GO BEYOND THOUGHT...

It is in pushing ourselves beyond thought that we are tapping into a strength not a lot of us are aware even exists. It is in pushing ourselves beyond thought, beyond all the noise and mindless chatter that keeps us held under the belief that we need constant noise and distraction to be someone, ...

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW

AT OUR DARKEST MOMENTS

At our darkest moments there lies inside us the potential to realise an overwhelming strength. When we feel as though we have been thrust into a space whereby we are detached from ourselves and completely out of options, it is important to remember that we are not. Our options may have change...

PUSHING OUR BOUNDARIES

When pushing our boundaries and reaching into our own truths as opposed to those provided by those around us, we come one step closer to entering the highly sought-after state of Flow.

NOW GO GET AT IT

A PROFOUND KIND OF STRENGTH LIES DEEP WITHIN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US

A profound kind of strength lies deep within each and every one of us if we are prepared to stop and connect with it but instead, we race around from one thing to the next, endlessly being bombarded with distractions and never realising our true potential. We rattle around within limitations set ...

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.

samz905

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

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.

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!

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

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.

Ghazala Begum
