EMPTY REFLECTION We look but we don't see, or we see, but fail to act. The mirror can reflect inconvenient and sometimes painful truths about ourselves. It's taking the time to acknowledge these reflections, then more time to invest conscious efforts in addressing what we see, take action and then learn from our experiences. The greatest tools for reflection are also the simplest to practice. We merely need silence. Allowing only  15-20 minutes for quiet meditation  in the morning and again in the evening, will help us to cut through the chatter of the mind in order to set up and re-evaluate our day. Our minds, much like computers perform, are constantly running 'programmes' which have imprinted information for running the hardware which we identify with as being 'me'. However, contrary to what we believe is our true selves, it turns out not to be the case at all. We have a program running which is like the 'front-end' interface of an app or desktop comp...

  THE GAME OF LIFE Life is a game and just like a game, life can be challenging or it can be fun. If we get things right, both states can happily coexist at the same time. Games have a set of rules that we need to follow. In order to succeed at the game of life, we need to learn the rules and through experience, learn how to bend these rules to gain an advantage...if winning really is our goal. So if we treat life in the same way as we do when playing a game, the resulting moves from non-skill game factors and an unlucky throw of the dice (which are said to be out of our control), can be mostly shrugged off. Some of the obstacles that influence our day and can negatively affect our mindset are easily shaken off if we put circumstances down to a bit of bad luck. Having a bad day? Think of these downturns in life as you would a game of cards – merely shuffle the deck and play out another hand! Making Your Own Luck Back in 2015, I  wrote a short post  about playing...

  BIG TALK How many times in our lives have we said we're going to do something and failed to deliver on it? Many times for sure - because talk is cheap. We often talk on autopilot and a lot of the time we don't even realise we're doing this. So, to deliver on what we're saying, we really need to be more mindful of what we are saying and what we can stick to.  Focussing On The Moment The worst time to have a conversation is when the mind is occupied with another task. If one attempts to engage in a conversation at the same time as performing another task, the mind disengages from comprehension and retention of information, In a compromised state, the person multi-tasking will likely agree to anything that's put to them - often to a disadvantage. Many have gotten wise to this fact and why distraction is often used as a tool for ensuring consent to desired plans. It's easy to respond to questions without thinking through what it is we  really  want to say first. I...
