Five Things I Definitely Believe in

1. That there is a creative intelligence behind everything, which helps us through life When I was about 14 I became very aware of this, having purchased a pack of tarot cards.  I found that I had the strange ability to choose one tarot card, and then mix it up thoroughly among all the others, [...]

Stop Asking Life for Permission to Have What You Want

In the last few weeks, I’ve noticed one difference between people who are creating what they want in their lives and those who haven’t and aren’t. Those who haven’t yet created what they want, are asking questions like: Is it my destiny to….? Will I ever….? Can I…? Those are the people who feel like [...]

So you think I’m a bad person/a scammy pants? – Do I look bothered?!

Well, actually, I want you to like me. I admit it - I need your love!!! I would put that in inverted commas to pretend it wasn’t just me who said that. But sadly it was.  Maybe I’ll put this in inverted commas instead: “One of the most basic human needs is to be liked and [...]

Does Life Actively Try To Screw You Over?

When I was at University studying French, I had to read a really boring book called Candide by Voltaire, a French author from the eighteenth century. The character of this book, a rather annoying chap called Candide strikes you as the type who is taking too many happy pills. His mantra is: “All is for [...]

When Am I Going to Die?

(I apologize in advance for the morbidness of this post!) Last night I took a silly quiz online. It was ‘when are you going to die?’ The quiz asked questions such as ‘Do you smoke?’, ‘Do you exercise?’ and I answered all the right answers as my lifestyle is fairly healthy. But then when I [...]

Lessons from my Dreams

One of the ways that spirit talks to me is through dreams. Vivid Dreams that are charged with meaning, perfectly timed, just before waking. In this dream, I find myself in a place that I know is Australia, but it feels more like Tuscany or Catalonia.  It’s old. I’m walking down an alley way, with stone buildings [...]

What’s the Meaning of Life?

Would it be cool if I could write you an article in which I told you what the meaning of your life is? I don’t know what the meaning of your life is. I know what the meaning of mine is, but only right now. The meaning of life changes for me every second. One [...]

When Your Loved Ones Don’t Agree with your Decisions

My last article about making decisions sparked an interesting question. What if you’ve made a decision, or are on the verge of making a decision that your family/friends/partner don’t like? Such as quitting your job, changing the direction of your career or leaving school. You may be having a discussion or an argument with your [...]

Risks and Divine Harassment

Three times in the past year, my Higher Self/Spirit has asked me to take risks. Two of them big, scary, life-changing risks. The people around me – friends, family – generally think I make stupid decisions that by lucky chance lead to good stuff happening. What really happens is that my Higher Self harasses me [...]

Living Fearlessly

“Life expands or contracts in proportion to one’s courage” Anais Nin. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could put aside all our fears and pursue our dreams fearlessly? Imagine how much more you could achieve and experience, if you had no fear at all to go after whatever you wanted. If fear/love is a spectrum, [...]
