One Step In our previous Musings, we have looked at many topics. What they all come down to is letting go and moving on from a place of acceptance and stillness. A place of not putting ourselves (our conditioning) …
Forgiveness Isn’t What You Think In my younger days, I used to believe that forgiving a person helped them more than it helped me. Not so. When we hold onto anger and blame, we hurt ourselves far more than …

Life before Death If you’ve read my previous musings, you will have seen that I spent far too many years in a dead zone. I got so busy worrying about coping in general, and judging myself as unworthy, …
Own It Last week we looked at knowing what’s yours. Today, I’d like to talk about owning what’s yours. More specifically, facing up to the things you’d rather bury in a deep, dark hole. We all make mistakes. …

Patient Perseverance Whenever things go wrong, we respond. Often, in our annoyance or hurt, none too skilfully. Sometimes, it’s not actually any of our business, and still, we meddle. Do we have to try and solve everything, though? When …

The Teaching of Trees Have you ever studied a tree? Ever thought about the fact that its underground roots mirror its sky-reaching canopy? Without digging deep beneath the mud and embracing the utter blackness, it could never thrive and …
Jewel in the Mud Bad things happen. It’s part of life, no matter how much we might resist it. Like you, I don’t want the hard stuff. I want my life to be easy and run smoothly, but we …
No Strings Today, I’d like to take a closer look at giving. At first glance, it seems simple enough. Right? Erm … not quite. Have you ever given a gift to someone—a loved one, perhaps—and felt disappointed at their …
Don’t just do something How many times have you done something, or said something, only to wish later that you hadn’t? How often have you wished that you could bottle hindsight and sell it as foresight? I have, …

Be a Nobody What do I mean by ‘be a nobody’? Everyone wants to be a someone, right? Isn’t that a good thing? I’m not talking about being without drive or purpose. What I’m talking about is …
