This week I have had to deal with a situation outside of the workplace that had blown way out of all proportion, all because the people involved procrastinated for years on making decisions. The statements– we are just about to do that, or, we will do that when something else happens, or, we can’t do… Continue reading Make a decision – any decision!

Love What You Do!
This article was taken from the February edition of Proteuslife magazine. Recently on the blog, I wrote an article entitled ‘Get out if you hate it,’ which was inspired by countless numbers of people I have interacted with that not only disliked what they did and where they worked, but they actually hated it. Without oversimplifying things, I… Continue reading Love What You Do!

What are Life Eyes?

Stepping into the Unknown
“Plan to step into the unknown because that is where life’s growth hormones are stored!” I am a great believer in setting clear goals for our lives.
