I have been thinking recently about how easy it is to determine if someone is successful based on how they ‘look’ on their public profiles. When I use the term ‘look’ I am referring to not only their face, but also how they portray themselves on social media platforms, which is a HUGE thing nowadays. I want to scratch your brain on a few things... Read the rest of this post...

We all have fears, but I have been thinking recently about how far we let our fears permeate into our lives in the realist of ways? Do your fears hold you back? Do they stress you out? Do you allow them to chain you and obliterate your self-confidence in situations where you have every opportunity to shine? So here’s a confession…... Read the rest of this post...

Don’t you love a good underdog movie? Dude, it’s one of my favourite types of story. The underdog is the last person anyone expects to be successful. They are the least likely to win. They have all the odds stacked against them and yet… they overcome both internal and external barriers to achieve success. *Fist pump.* In the Lord of the Rings... Read the rest of this post...

I am so frustrated over the many times that people just cast me to the sidelines, because APPARENTLY I’M TOO YOUNG. In other words they think I am incapable of doing anything simply because of my age. It’s like a silent way of saying; ‘no, sorry, you’re too stupid to understand’. It’s not like I’m a five year old who... Read the rest of this post...

I have a problem with accepting people’s help. It just gives me a real icky feeling in my gut. The feeling I have failed to do something on my own. Or that I am a burden. Or that I am indebted. Then I feel enveloped by the magnitude of my debts to people who have showed me kindness and swallowed by... Read the rest of this post...

‘Can I sit here?’ ‘I’m sorry, that chair is for my bag.’ ‘Oh. Yeah sure. I’ll sit in the corner. By myself then.’ Def. Clique – a close knit group of people who do not readily allow others to join them. I can’t stand cliques. What a load of bollocks. Tight insular inward facing friendship circles defined by their exclusivity. *Face... Read the rest of this post...

At the pub the other day with two friends, one of the said, ‘What would our eight year old selves say if they saw us now?’ We all burst into laughter.

Am I or am I not successful? THAT is the question! I am being challenged, people. I am being haunted by this question at every twist and turn of my fumbling, tumbling journey through life. Success and the need to be successful in the eyes of others seems to be high on the agenda amongst Generation Y. Oh, he’s doing... Read the rest of this post...
