Why are goals so important? What is it that drives us to seek more? As Tony Robbins says, “If you’re not growing, you’re dying”. As humans we seek constantly to be learning and evolving and it’s our goals that guide us through this process. Usually we actually know what our goals are, but our fears, insecurities and beliefs cloud our passion. It’s rare for someone to find a dream mid-life completely out of the blue that doesn’t somehow have a link to their past.
What does it even mean to “understand yourself?” Understanding yourself means you can make quick decisions, you can make sure those decisions are solid and that you won’t change your mind. It means you know how to motivate and inspire yourself, how to avoid pushing the wrong buttons. You know what to expect from yourself in certain situations without surprising yourself. You know your own skills and abilities. You know how to make yourself laugh, how to make yourself cry. It means you have your own back. Apart from the fact that this understanding gives you a strong sense of security and stability, the reason why it’s so great to have a solid understanding of yourself is because it enables you to know what you want and why, which ultimately leads to greater feelings of success and fulfilment in life.

The world is in crisis. It’s undeniable. North Korea. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria. And then there’s the increasing number of natural disasters, that seem to be reflecting where human society is at. Volcanos erupting in Hawaii, earthquakes in California and Mexico. We’re pretty fortunate to be so isolated from it all in Australia. But this can sometimes make us feel helpless too. Where do we even begin?Although probably not as globally devastating, we have our own crises. Bullying is affecting more kids than ever, at younger ages and with more serious consequences.Ghandi advised us to “Be the Change we want to see in the world.” So maybe this is where we can begin. This is something you do actually have the power to influence,and I’m going to give you the knowledge to make the changes within your own family, schools and community. Aren’t we fortunate to have access to the resources and information that enable us to actually do something about it!
When we hear the word ego we often think of arrogant, good looking men with big muscles who drive fast cars and use hair gel. Every move they make is a scream to the world to “look at me, I’m the greatest!” This isn’t the ‘ego’ we’re going to be looking at today. Today we’re going to look at Freud’s ego – that self-conscious part of ourselves that’s aware of our feelings and thoughts and is very much responsible for the creation of our identity.
You know that feeling. The one where your heart starts to race a little, your muscles begin to tense up, your breaths become short and shallow, your chest tightens and it takes a huge amount of willpower to supress an explosion. Take a deep breath. Exhale.
Do you suffer from stress? Do you simply ‘manage’ it because it’s just the way of the world? Well, let me tell you something and you need to listen to this because it’s really important – you don’t have to.
It has been found that approximately 80% of all visits to the doctor have stress as a major contributing factor. Stress affects us physically, causing high blood pressure, heart issues and a suppressed immune system; and psychologically by causing depression, memory loss and poor decision making. And of course, stress doesn’t help us get a good night’s sleep either.
It is undeniable - the decisions you make directly impact the way you experience your life. You create the life you live by the choices you make.
I wonder, how are the choices you’ve made in the past affecting your life today? How do they affect the quality of your relationships?

If you dig a little deeper, you will find that the people who are most at peace in their lives and consider their lives to be successful, have strong faith. They have strong faith and trust in themselves and in their relationship with the world. For the majority, they actually feel as though they are inextricably linked to the world, or universe and it is that connection that enables their success.
