Successful Time Management (Creating Success) by Patrick Forsyth
If you always feel like you are chasing your tail or that there is not enough time in the day than you need to make it a priority to learn the techniques on mastering time. There are so many great books, online courses and coaches that can assist you in this domain including myself.
Here is a podcast I did from some Q&A with Patrick.
We cannot manage time but we certainly have control over how we use the time we have. The thing is that we all have exactly the same amount of hours in the day. With 168 hours a week why is it that some people seem to be able to achieve a great deal more than others. Simply, they have become more effective with their time.

Welcome to my Thursday Thought!
Are you a dreamer? Do you have a vision of your future? How does it look and feel? How do you want to be in life?
If you don’t you might just find yourself constantly being pulled in different directions. One day you are heading in this direction and the next only to be heading somewhere else. This is not only a inefficient use of our energy but also very ineffective way to take you where you want to be in life.
I struggle with this but am improving as my dreams and visions become clearer. Many people I am sure struggle with this and in that struggle they loose sight of their ideal future, they become worn out, and give-up in the progression forward.
Enjoy this thought and please leave me your comments and thoughts below. Peace, passion & purpose.

A Heart Centred Approach to Directing the Life We Desire
Why I believe it is more important to use our emotions to direct our lives rather than our logic. There must be a need for balance in both however I do feel that our emotions, our heart, will guide us more truly towards the life we desire. I also understand that being guided by our emotions is not always and easy thing to do.

Emotions are powerful! Some of us have more powerful emotions that others. We can use them to guide us, and often do however, if we can better reflect on them, without any attachment we are able to use them to make greater decisions to enhance the quality of our lives.

As the completion day came near, he thought it would be a good idea to learn how to market it – if anyone else is ever going to play it.

Minding the Muse A Handbook for Painters, Composers, Writers, and Other Creators by Priscilla Long
This is a great short book and as the tittle suggests this suitable for all creative types. I really enjoyed this read partly because it was short and to the point but also because gained some really cool insights and practices that I will use to help me in my creative endeavours.
Priscilla is an artist herself with a background in writing and teaches others how to master their practice. In this book she draws on her experience and also that of other famous and successful artists. It is also an important reminder that just because something works for one person it doesn’t mean it will work for you. The ideas, practices and techniques shared in this book should be approached with openness and awareness of this. (more…)
If you awaken a desire within you or pay attention to your dreams things will happen to take you towards it, some times by choice and some times by force. I believe the universe listens to our human callings and then creates opportunities for us to follow. If we don’t make the choices that take us along the path we seek sometimes the universe will force us to.
An awakening, a moment or a time were you had a realisation or desire of doing something more is all it takes to create the momentum you need in life. At these moments we tune our attention towards a new ideal or direction. We allow our thoughts to be generated towards that which we seek.
We then make personal efforts and take action towards it or choose not to however, if we continue to allow these thoughts to occupy our mind the universe has its own way of making us take action. (more…)

In this episode I discuss my experiences, challenges and learnings as I progress through a challenge that I set myself. The challenge is multifaceted and perhaps I have bitten of more than I can chew but I continue to progress and even as I slip-up and fail I fight.
There are many reflections one can have as we battle with our body and mind. I have thought a lot about why we do things, why we behave the way we do and why this can affect our ability to progress with ease. When we are so set in our ways change can prove difficult.
Why do we challenge ourselves if it does cause us pain? What is the true reason? I believe the answer is growth, our fundamental human need. I also reflect on why certainty and uncertainty are needs we crave and seek and how this has affected me directly within this challenge. (more…)
