Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach When was the first time you boarded a flight? Do you remember the feeling of excitement? Perhaps, you’ve even had the luxury of turning left into business or first class? Now, imagine a time before all this was possible. Two small words transformed that world of impossibility into today’s world of jet-setting convenience. This week, I’ll share how the ‘Not Yet’ attitude took the Wright brothers off the ground and can do the same for your goals and dreams. The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, changed travel forever wit ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach Are you stressed by the weight of your own expectations? The pressure to always give your 100%? We often picture our best self as someone consistently operating at peak level. No blips. But let’s face it – life isn’t a highlight reel. There are days when you fly high and others when you drag on the ground. And that’s okay. So what’s the problem? The romantic idea that showing up means being at your 100% every single time. The truth? It’s about commitment to showing up. Being there even on the days when you feel you’re only at 30%. Take a look at this image ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach Have you ever stopped to think about the story of your morning coffee? ☕️✨ Let’s say Starbucks. But not the Starbucks you know today. I’m taking you back to its humble beginnings and the man behind its transformation – Howard Schultz. In the early 1980s, Starbucks was just a small coffee shop in Seattle. But Schultz, with his keen vision, saw more than just a shop; he saw potential for a worldwide coffee culture. Schultz wasn’t initially part of Starbucks. He joined as the Director of Retail Operations and Marketing. During a trip to Italy, he was mesmeriz ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach Have you ever faced a challenge so daunting it seemed impossible to conquer? ? Well, let me share a story that might change your mind. ? In the vast, awe-inspiring expanse of Yosemite National Park, there’s a vertical rock formation known as El Capitan, towering over 900 meters above the ground. It’s a beacon for rock climbers who dare to test their limits against its granite face. Most climbers, equipped with ropes and gear, take days to ascend its heights, which is an extraordinary achievement in itself. But there was one who dared to drea ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach Do you remember the last time you stared at a cloud and saw a rabbit, or perhaps a phoenix? Our brains have an uncanny ability to find patterns in chaos, to see familiar shapes where none were intended. But did you ever consider that this ability could offer a window into your own psyche? Let’s go back to 1921, to the workroom of a Swiss psychiatrist named Hermann Rorschach. Rorschach was fascinated by how different people interpreted the world. Where others would be developing complex psychological assessments, he simply dripped some ink on paper and ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach What’s your story? Not the superficial one you recount at social gatherings, but the deeper, more intimate narrative you tell yourself. It’s a question worth pondering, especially considering the profound impact these “invisible scripts” have on shaping our actions, habits, and ultimately, our success. Recognizing and Confronting Invisible Scripts We all possess them, these internal narratives. They’re like unseen forces, subtly guiding our decisions and actions, often without our conscious awareness. These scripts can take various forms: a quiet voice whis ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach What if I told you that there is a high probability that we don’t live in the real world but in a computer simulation? A mad thought, I know! Now, let’s put aside the fact that this is not a science-fiction idea but rather a real possibility. What I’d like you to pay attention to is that you most likely thought something like: Oh, that’s ridiculous. Not because you’ve done thorough research into the idea (why would you) but simply because it contradicts what you’ve believed about the world your whole life. It’s called Confirmation Bias. We want what we ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach I have a crazy story for you.  The Olympics is an event that’s usually associated with… Skilled, talented, hard-working athletes. It’s an event that brings together the best athletes in the world. So you would assume that normal non-athlete Joes must have never participated in the Olympics, right? ? Bzzz, Wrong! You see, something weird happened in the Olympics held in 1904. And it might feel like a scene from a comedy movie… Except that this actually happened! Let me entertain (and inspire) you. Although the St. Louis Olympic Marathon  ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach Do you like to take a walk in the park or through a nice garden? Gardens are usually associated with good times. Green grass, colourful flowers, picnics, games, laughing. But there’s a particular garden that feels like it’s from a Hitchcock’s horror movie. It’s called the Alnwick Poison Garden, and you can find it in the UK. It has nearly 100 poisonous and toxic plants. …so toxic that some visitors occasionally faint just by smelling the plants, even though they were warned not to. (As the saying goes…Some lessons cannot be taught… they must be l ..read more

Tomas Svitorka - London Life Coach Do you ever question your abilities? Do you ever doubt whether you have what it takes to succeed? Many people are trapped in this cage of self-doubt. But what if I told you that you can reach your dreams even if you don’t fully believe in yourself?  Today, I want to give you a gentle kick-up through the story of Sifan Hassan. If you’re unfamiliar with Sifan, she is a notable name in the world of distance running, with prestigious accolades like the Tokyo 2020 5000m and 10,000m gold medals to her name. ? Yet, there was a dream she held close to he ..read more
