Variety, Uncertainty and A Sense of Adventure: Necessities in Avoiding Stagnation
“The quality of your life is directly related to how much uncertainty you can comfortably handle.” Tony Robbins
Comfort is nice it’s what we most favour. However, comfort can allow us to fall into stagnation. It is here we stop progressing. It is here that our existence becomes less enjoyable and more sufferable. It is here most of us need to escape.

And here is the ultimate paradox and that is that while we seek certainty in our lives we have a tendency to remove this need for uncertainty. This can be detrimental in living a free, fulfilled and happy life. (more…)

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.”
The word alchemy comes from the Greek word Khemeia that means “art of transmuting metals.” This is apparently an ancient art that people have been trying to work on for millennia with little success. Particularly the attempt to turn common metals into gold. This book is an inspiring story of a Shepard boy, Santiago, on his journey of life and like alchemy awakens his essence and turns it to gold.

It was also narrated by Jeremy Irons – a very suitable and enjoyable voice to listen to. You can 2 Free audio books when you trial Audible here today.

What makes the other person in a relationship feel greater will ultimately be the thing that takes you to the next level. This is a concept that can be applied to any relationships in life. What benefits one often will benefit the other.
In nature this is called Mutualism – the way two organisms of different species exist in a relationship in which each individual benefits from the activity of the other. More on this thought here.
What’s is life without relationships. Lonely, cold and depressing and that too is not necessarily great for our own state of being nor is it conducive to our ability to continually progress and to reach our best potential.
