Ignoring The Inner Guru “The dark night of the soul comes just before revelation.” ~ Joseph Campbell There are countless posts on social media platforms that I have seen about positivity, self-help, yoga, green smoothies, natural glow and gluten-free everything. Many people equate such messages with spirituality and good vibes, but these posts don’t tell the whole story. The more we wake up to the bombardment of these holy grail facts, thus more incomplete, and insecure we feel because others seem to have it all figured out. Truth is, none of us has it all figured out. We cannot possibly summa ..read more

“Rise above the crowd, and dare to create the reality you desire.” ~ Bentinho Massaro Granted, not everybody can afford the luxury of doing what they love all the time, especially when it comes to sticking to certain career paths. We often believe that we don’t have a choice, but we do – options and solutions abound. The quality of our outcomes depends on how much you are willing to involve ourselves in designing our experience. We live in very enabling times and it’s up to us to decide how vividly progressive and successful our lives should be, the empowerment has to come from within. We must ..read more

There was once a bat for whom having to go out and hunt insects was just a terrible amount of effort. This bat was such a lover of comfort that, one day, when he happened to look through a window and saw a bird in its cage, and that it was given all its food and water without having to do anything at all, the bat decided to become a child’s pet. The bat changed his whole routine. He got up at dawn to fly to parks so he could be spotted by some child who might adopt him as a pet. However, as bats aren’t particularly attractive, the children paid him little attention. So the bat decided to impro ..read more

“Man’s task is to become conscious of the contents that press upward from the unconscious.” – Carl Jung Our first reaction when we make a big risk or a major gamble is to expect disaster – that everything else would fall like a pack of cards. This is because it is as if we’re looking at our life from rear view mirror, so everything we focus on behind appears to be fuzzy. In today’s fast-paced world, it is important that we make reasonable discernments about who and what to believe. The best thing that could ever happen to us, takes place on our inside to reveal external results. Experiencing a ..read more

“Awareness is the birthplace of possibility; Once we accept our limits, we go beyond them.” – Deepak Chopra Picture this illustration; ‘Have you ever been talking and someone interrupts you, making you lose your train of thought, or have you been gone into a room with the sole aim of retrieving something and you are momentarily forget the particular item you’re searching for or become unsure about what to do next?’ Using the Epic Outcomes Matrix model, we can interrupt a pattern that someone is running which is producing an unwanted behaviour, like a phobia, and after interrupting them we can ..read more

“Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.” Marcus Aurelius When we are not being asked the “right” question, answering the wrong question isn’t going to make things much better for us – especially if want change. We tend to always do the best we can with the resources we have available; so we’re bound to be limited. According to what is known as ‘the chaos theory,’ a dynamic system is very sensitive to small changes in the initial conditions which are set, leading to difficulties in making long term projections. This is bordered on the ri ..read more

Once upon a time there was a shy and quiet octopus. He nearly always went about on his own because, although he wanted to have lots of friends, he was too self-conscious. One day, the octopus was trying to catch a very slippery oyster. Before he knew it, he had tied himself into one massive knot, and he couldn’t move. He tried with all his strength to wriggle free, but it was no good. In the end, despite the great embarrassment he felt at being seen in such a tangle, he had to ask for help from the passing fish. Many fish swam past, ignoring him, but one very kind little fish offered to help t ..read more

There was once an incredibly rich, beautiful, and wise Princess. Tired of false suitors who were only interested in her money, she announced that she would only marry whoever managed to present her with the most valuable, tender, and sincere gift of all.

Intrigued, she demanded to see whoever it was who had offered this gift. Despite her curiosity, she pretended to be highly offended by the gift when the y ..read more
