Henry’s Psalm
Quite perfectly called “A Psalm For Life” – if ever you needed a lesson in living in the now, or some encouragement when you’re not seeing results as fast as you would like, this poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow should not be further than an arm’s length away so that you could read and get…

Fearing success more than failure
This is not a new thought. Many times we say it quite confidently: “I think I fear success more than I fear failure” But that’s as far as we dare go. Having said it – we’ve admitted it and somehow feel absolved. If only for a moment. Failure is familiar – like a worn shoe,…

Wake up and be open to Someone Else’s Ideas
Many hotels have a wonderful tool that allows you to sleep without interruption. Yes I am referring to the humble but very effective ‘Do Not Disturb’ sign. All you have to do is hang this outside your door and you will be left alone for as long as you desire. Dr. Emmet Fox, a well…

“Did my model come with instructions? I can’t seem to find mine?”
As a long time science fiction buff, I was imagining a cloned human, waking up to planet Earth and trying to determine how they were supposed to live as a human being – where were the rules? Our parents, teachers and friends do their best to help us along the way yet it is inevitable…
