A Personal Development Journey To Self-Mastery
Last weekend I was fortunate enough to attend Unleash The Power Within, a personal development seminar by Tony Robbins in London, and to describe it in a word: incredible. I was buzzing before I even got there. Having an insane track record, I was certain Tony would deliver, but I didn't even know what was coming... Instead of giving you a step-by-step of what happened, I'll stick to my experience of the event. The Atmosphere This was one of the highlights, 5000 people ... Read More

If you're an avid reader like me, then you'll frequently find a new, unknown word, but what do you do about it? I understand that most people ignore it and carry on, do you? Truth be told, I used to do the same, but then it hit me… What the heck am I doing?! What if I just ignored the most important sentence in the book? What if that word could help me later on? I was avoiding a perfect opportunity to learn something new, something for my toolbox… Skipping the word may ... Read More
This is the third post in the incredible character series, if you missed the last two you can find them here: Incredible Character Series Responsibility Courage to some means stupid, and that's where a few misconceptions lie. I think courage is the strength to do something in times of struggle, fear and pain. It's a strength, not a weakness that gets you killed. There are people who deliberately do stupid things with their cars, putting their own life and the lives of ... Read More
Okay, I'll admit it - I have no idea what I'm doing. Happy now? All this time and I still don't know, pitiful isn't it? Too much time spent on the looks and the feel, but I totally ignored the most important part of it… After seeing a few blogs on the scene shoot from 0 to hero in around 3 months, I figured there was work to do, lots and lots of work to do... The style, the points, the emotion, the words, the order, the feeling, the passion… I’ve done ‘okay’ [by my ... Read More
Anger, hatred, depression, sadness, joy, happiness, euphoria... Don’t you wish you could control some of these? Wow, how would that feel, having control over your own emotions? Well, what if I said that was possible? Okay, well I believe that with practice this is totally possible, there’s just a few things you must pay attention to. People can change how they feel in a heartbeat, the problem is that they’re rarely conscious of it. That’s what I hope I can provide some ... Read More
This for me is the pinnacle of an incredible character: the ability to take responsibility. I often hear this topic shrouded in mist, so I first want to give you my view and attempt to clear it up. When I speak of responsibility, I don’t mean the tasks that you have to deal with such as paying bills, feeding yourself or dealing with work projects. To me, taking responsibility is taking charge of your life. I can’t tell you how many times that people have attached a negative, ... Read More

People, undoubtedly, are fascinating. Everyone’s unique and has their own story to tell, but how many do you know? This post was inspired by 23 Productive Things to do While Waiting for Something over at Passive Productive, and that’s just 1 of 23 things!

A good Monday to you all! We’re all unique, special, and quite frankly we’re all damn spectacular human beings, in our own way of course.
