Marching to the beat of your own drum

“Only live up to your own expectations, not those that others have set for you. It’s the only way to avoid disappointment on behalf of all parties involved.”

How to make decisions

Indecisive? Don't worry you are not the only one. Many of us fall victim to the lack of certainty when concerning various aspects of our lives. Whether it is to pick a life partner, choose a career path or order lunch, it sometimes feels like an overwhelming abundance of choice that results in our inability to pick just one of the options. Below are my tips for getting you through the confusion: 1) Weigh up how you would feel about this decision if you were a parent or an older version of yourself. 2) Would you be proud to admit that you did it? If the answer is yes, then go ahead with your plan. 3) What do the hoards say and what do your closest friends say? Try to blur out the masses and listen to those that know you best. They will steer you in the right direction.

Good advice on achieving true happiness

“Surround yourself with people who make you happy. People who make you laugh, who help you when you’re in need. People who genuinely care. They are the ones worth keeping in your life. Everyone else is just passing through.” Karl Marx

Making mistakes is natural

When i read this quote as part of a promotional email this morning, it really resonated with me. I feel that a lot of us want to take steps in life that are perfectly planned, executed and which always deliver the desired result. As many will have experienced, this wishful thinking doesn't always occur but i think the quote below explains exactly why it's ok to make mistakes and in fact that mistakes are what make up our lives in the first place! "A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing". - George Bernard Shaw
