In a world of instant gratification, a world of spotlights and showreels, a world of social media, it can be surprisingly hard, sometimes, for us to define something as simple as progress. Making progress is, simply put, moving forward. It can be a step of any size, as long as it is forward. It …

Under Pressure
Pressure tends to be synonymous with negativity. When we're under pressure to produce something, we often feel stunted or limited. However, pressure in some forms can be a use for good. Anyone who knows me, or has read even just a couple of my posts, will know I procrastinate.... A lot.... I've recently learned that …
Making Fear an Opportunity
Closing a door, opens a window. Being afraid, creates an opportunity. I've written before about the Laziness of Fear; in which, I discuss how sometimes when I'm being 'lazy', it's actually that I'm scared. Now, I'd like to address how fear presents an opportunity for us. A few weeks ago, I'd describe my working world …
Appreciating Uncertainty
The unknown is often synonymous with fear; especially for those of us that are anxious or fearful of change. However, I want to pose a different perspective; that by accepting we don't know something for certain we can actually be better off. I've recently learnt about Mind Reading.

Risks at the Crossroads
When is taking a risk worth it? When is the fear well-founded I interrupt the post I have scheduled for today to talk about something completely different. For the past few years I've been struggling to find fulfilment at work. There's been times where that's not the case, obviously. Times where I've enjoyed myself, times …
The Beauty of Challenge
Do you see the beauty in the challenges we face? How they allow us to improve? Last week I wrote about criticism and the positive impact it can have. You can read that post here: Feed(back) Your Enthusiasm. Feedback and criticism will often pose as a challenge to us, they're signs that something we're doing …
Little Changes in Life
Have you ever thought about the impact the little things in life are having on you? What about the changes you can make that take no time at all? Last week I wrote about Little Changes in Life. You can read it in full by following the link, but to summarise I talked about how …
My Therapy
"I don't feel like writing so I'm writing." That's how I began this post. I wrote this one line. The thing is, writing is more than just my hobby, and it's more than a future career. To me writing is my therapy. I use writing to make sense of my own feelings and get my …
