when will we fix it I was going to write about this the other day but didn’t get around to it, and I have many more quips about procrastination, but I’ll get around to them later. In all seriousness this is one of the biggest issues people struggle with, a quick google search returns 61 million results, and most of them are offering advice on how to deal with it, beat it or overcome it, Read more…
PMA, a buzz phrase of the last 100 years I think language is important as it defines the world we live in, the minute you try to change the meaning of the words you change the situation, saying “I am all for freedom of speech, but we shouldn’t offend anyone” is simply changing the definition of “freedom of speech” to meaning you don’t have any freedom at all because somebody somewhere is very likely to Read more…

Of course it is, I’m sorry but sitting in a field and wishing for success will just leave you sitting in a field wishing for success. I’ve never met a successful person who hasn’t at some point worked damn hard to get there and I would put money on it that you haven’t either and yet if it was Read more…
I mean really I find it interesting that I have started to notice more and more people on Social Media tag themselves as a “Motivational Speaker” And while undoubtedly most are very motivational is motivation always a good idea?
