After reading the post on Steve Pavlina’s site on how to build a stronger ego, I realised that he was speaking directly to some of the concerns I’d been having recently. I’ve talked a lot before about the ego, and how it is a force in our lives that we would do well to recognise. [...]
Lately, I’ve been feeling particularly good about things. I think articulating through the blog of a couple of significant issues on my mind recently has, as is the case when we talk about things and journal, sorted through the mish-mash and the jumble a little.
So what am I feeling good about?

There are a couple of things that have prompted me to write on this topic, all from random sources. Today it was a sitcom that just came from nowhere and struck a chord by what was said – it was simple, “I want that.”.

I mean seriously, how can less be more? Then there’s “too much of a good thing“. Sure, why don’t I [...]
While at university a decade ago I met some really fantastic people, some of which I’m still in regular contact with today, most of which however I’m not. It was at this time I had a friendship that was both wonderful and tragic all at once that taught me many things both about myself and [...]
This isn’t a new term by any means, but it’s one that we all know but never really, really pay any close attention to. Are you living to work? Are you living practically hand-to-mouth?
