As humans, we have a unique relationship with time.

We can hold onto the past and project indefinitely into the future. 

We cause ourselves anxiety by holding onto events

And we do the same by generating fear about potential events that are yet to happen 

We numb ourselves so not to have to think about either

And we tend to avoid as much as we can, as best as we can for as long as we can.

But the avoidance is what breeds further anxiety 

The more you avoid, the more it festers

And it’s usually reflected in small things though-out your day. 

Avoiding cleaning your room.

Avoiding taking out the trash

Avoiding the gym.

Avoiding making that phone call or having that conversation you know needs to be had.

Avoiding making an apology

Avoiding confronting reality itself.

And with this avoidance you never experience that all important sense of resolution

The resolution you need to move yourself forward.  

Resolution is the death required to pave the way for new life.

It allows you to create space and with space comes new potential

Anything less, and you are avoiding life itself.

  • The Decision of No Decision
    Indecision is a decision in and of itself, even though you may not recognise it as such. Your decision to do nothing – to let things play out on their own. It’s taking a back seat and waiting to see how the chips may fall.
  • Taking Your Second Chance
    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.
  • Symphony of Sadness
    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.
  • Leaving It All Behind
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
