Why Your Current Discomfort Is Good For Your Soul

April 7, 2013 0 Comments


Hanging around with the same crowd day after day is bad for the soul.

Diversity breathes life and homogeneity shrinks and simplifies an individual into an easily repeatable clone.

We’re all tempted to surround ourselves with friends who think like us, act like us, dress like us, friends who make us feel good in who we are, friends who challenge us not.

Do not make a bed so comfortable for your soul that it lies down for all of life never to regain its own two feet.

Am I being too cryptic for you?

Life is found on the edges, diversity causes us to wait before we speak, to consider another’s perspective, and to unclothe ourselves of any self-absorbed assumptions.

Unless we embrace different worlds, our own world will lose contact with reality and drift off into its own eternal oblivion.

Unless your thoughts are your own, they actually mean nothing.

Are your thoughts your own?

Perhaps life is a process of throwing off the opinions of others until we are left with nothing else but our own thoughts.

Is this actual freedom, to be completely our own, to live without passivity or excuse?

Many people never begin the process of throwing off the opinions of others. Life is not meant to be a game of follow the leader, it’s your life and it’s your responsibility.

Don’t shirk your thoughts, don’t just assimilate into the ways of your parents, your culture, your faith or your political party.

Unless your thoughts are your own, they actually mean nothing.

When Losing Your Job Is A Good Thing

April 3, 2013 5 Comments


Would you remain in your job if it wasn’t for the pay check?

Is money the only thing keeps you doing the same old 9 to 5?

Do you have an exit strategy or is this it for you?

These are important questions that need to be answered.

Without our dreams we are in chains, walking slowly around in monotonous circles going nowhere.

That’s why losing your job can be the best thing for you, it’s like a get out of jail free card.

It can give you the permission to dream again.

Don’t Be Your Boss’s Fool Anymore – Please

April 1, 2013 4 Comments


Conformity is a fool’s game.

It is tempting to think that April Fool’s Day is simply a one off celebration of silliness that happens on an annual basis. But many people go into a working environment each day where they are constantly being treated like a fool.

If you are repeatedly following a list of instructions on a daily basis without ever engaging your own intelligence or imagination then you are being somebody else’s fool.

Stop it.

Life is too short to be nothing more than a mindless robot 8 hours a day, five days a week for the rest of your working life.

You deserve better.

March 31, 2013 10 Comments


Good writers read a lot.

People who think differently also read a lot.

Reading is great for the mind, it engages the imagination and stimulates our thinking. If we want to grow in 2013 then I believe that it is essential that we simply read more.

Because we believe that reading is so important, we’ve decided to start the SEVEN SENTENCE BOOK CLUB; for the next 52 weeks we’re going to read one book/week and review it on Seven Sentences.

What will we read?

We’re open to your suggestions, let’s read and grow together.
