Rising above

Within the circle lies compliance, following the crowd, not wanting to offend, perfectionism to avoid judgement, comfort that is uncomfortable, not speaking out, fear of being wrong, fear of almost everything outside the circle.

The only way to change anything is to rise above, to free ourselves from the circle, to actually be able to see the circle for what it is. We have to embrace the wilderness, we have to be brave enough to be different, we have to be prepared to leave the perceived safety of the circle.

We can not escape if we do not see we are within the circle.

Rise, lead, inspire, change and be free.

It’s OK to accept good things

Often, when work is going well or we have some good news, or we’re having a fab time with friends, family and life is feeling great, we then think ‘this won’t last’ or ‘too good to be true’ or ‘something bad is sure to happen’ and so on.

It’s at this moment that we could choose to just accept that everything is going well and it is OK to enjoy that, there is no need to fear or to feel guilty or play it down.

Accept what is, enjoy the moment and just be. Why choose to spoil it and inflict mental pain upon ourselves? Why choose bad?
