A journey of 10 steps for Paul, could take Peter a 1000 steps to complete.That doesn't make Paul better, smarter or more special.It simply means we express the life in us differently.

Albert Einstein is reported to have said “There are only two ways to live your life.One is as though nothing is a miracle.The other is as though everything is a miracle."

The saying goes that the best things in life give themselves for free. They are not received through effort, striving or desire. We get the most out of life when we stop making demands of it. When we step into the flow of life, the currents and tides bring us the best it offers ...... Continue Reading →

Authentic, consistent and true.The peace that... Continue Reading →
Sometimes it takes faith to quit the race,to swim against the tide of coventional wisdom. Sometimes it takes faith to step off the pitch,to walk away from the game; and refuse to play by the old rules. Caught up in striving and trying to succeed. We work hard, strive and struggle.After all, you’ve heard the... Continue Reading →
