Many people fail in life because they believe in the adage: If you don’t succeed, try something else. But success eludes those who follow such advice.
The dreams that have come true did so because people stuck to their ambitions. — John C. Maxwell
A lust for life.
Hitting my thirties was not a celebratory moment for me. I woke up, looked around and realised I was in the same place I had always been as far as my success was concerned. I had achieved a few things like starting a family and having a decent roof over my head. Things that I am…
I don’t think there is a person in this world that doesn’t dream of a life filled with more success. Whether it’s with more money, more adventure or more love. There are so many things we all wish we could have more of.
The question is. How is it that some of us manage to get closer to the success we look for, while others seem to get nowhere?
Could it be that some people are more gifted than others? Or some have more opportunity and are in more privileged positions. Possibly. But putting the blame on other people is…

Financial freedom is something that everyone aspires to. Of course it has a different meaning to everyone. But for the most part we all want to be able to pay our bills, have some fun and live a money worries free life.
Yet having more month at the end of the money is a place that too many of us know too well. We have become a nation of big borrowers and big spenders and worry about paying it back later (er’s).
I used to avoid the letters that came through the door as if the problem would somehow disappear.
If you don’t control your habits, your habits end up controlling you.
I’ve recently started becoming more conscious of how I use my mornings. It used to be a case of waking up to my 3rd attempt of hitting the snooze button. Sitting at the end of my bed for a few minutes contemplating whether to call in sick that day for some much needed rest.
