What is the Worst Case Scenario? What is the Best Case?

“Confronting the worst-case scenario saps it of much of its anxiety-inducing power. Happiness reached via positive thinking can be fleeting and brittle, negative visualization generates a vastly more dependable calm.” Oliver Burkeman

For much of what we fear however is over exaggerated self-created assumption about the future. These fears can form our beliefs and our beliefs can be hard to influence to change. But we can change them. (more…)

THY TV Why Series Part 1: What is The Hidden Why

Goal – To Inspire You to Reconnect to Your Why

The Hidden Why is designed to inspire and assist others to uncover their true Self. Our Hidden Why can be described as our soul, our essence or our core. It is our why. The reason we exist, our purpose.

I believe for many of us, like myself previously, have become so conditioned or domesticated that we have over time covered our essence. We are become disconnected from our why.

How to Create a Healthy Reading Habit and Why

“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.” Dr. Seuss

You Are Not Your Potential!

“Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future.” Marilyn Ferguson

You are not your potential. It’s great to visualise your future. It’s great to dream about all that you can become but do not become disillusioned. Because the reality is your potential is who you become not who you are now.

If you rely too heavily on being like this potential, you will cause yourself some level of pain and suffering in the process. This comes from trying to do the things you cannot yet do. By trying to be the person that you cannot yet be you will find challenge. You must do the work required of you today. (more…)
