When life is tough we often wish that things were easier. It's the reason the lottery business exists. It's very human to wish that our hardships could suddenly vanish and our lives could suddenly move forward in the ways we had always hoped. In today's message I share a great quote I came across in my recent reading of a book from Donald Miller. It echoes an insight from the great Zig Ziglar who would often say, "Don't wish that things were easier, wish that you could be better!"

One of my all time favorite speakers would often say, "Energy flows where attention goes!" It was a simple reminder that where we place our attention can make major differences in our experience of daily life. It's worth remembering that modern media and advertising generates most of its revenue by encouraging you to focus upon all that is wrong with the world. In today's message I want to remind you that you can also chose to make different decisions about where you place your focus. These daily decisions can make all the difference.

At the end of our lives none of us are going to be lying there wishing we had more time at the office or doing jobs we hated. One of the great things about the human journey is the fact that for every one of us there are experiences, passions, interests that really light us up. In today's message I want to talk with you about taking time to reconnect with those very personal joys that can make our lives truly enjoyable and also bless and encourage all those around us.

Many people seem to think that the way to change the world is through government intervention, big corporate action or some other utopian plan. In this episode I want to make the point that far more often, it is the small acts that we undertake for others each day that can end up making the real difference that can slowly nudge the planet in a better direction. Never underestimate those small things you do that can really make a positive difference in the lives of both strangers and the people you care about the most.

As we move along the path of life we can suddenly discover that so many of the dreams that we once longed for have slowly vanished along the way. Where do dreams come from? Why do we all have such different things that mean so much to us? Is letting go of dreams just part of 'growing up' or can we still chase our dreams as we get older? In this episode I want to share a really simple but powerful quote that reminds us all that there is no fixed law that demands we let go of what was once so important to us.

A vast grievance and therapeutic industry requires a vast number of people to believe that both their present and their future is hostage to their past. The essential narrative is that something happened to us years ago that now explains our present and predicts our future. It does not have to be this way. In this episode I reveal how one of the greatest psychologists in history can help you understand why you may not need a psychologist.

When we are young, it is easy to think that all options are open and that there will always be time to make changes and find the life and purpose that we always expected would be our natural outcome. In today's message we discover that both time and options are not unlimited. At some point we have to choose and commit to some meaningful outcome. In another sense, we also have to honour and seek excellence in the gifts we have been given.

In modern life it is easy to come to believe that there are powerful forces that shape so much of our daily experience. The massive overreach of government, the power of global corporations and the relentless manipulation of legacy media means we can often feel that there is so little we can do to shape our lives, serve our families and pursue our dreams. In this episode we go way back into ancient history to discover that there is always an incredible power in your hands to build the life of excellence, contribution and service that you long for.

Is there a greater power that shapes our daily lives than that of habits? Over hundreds of thousands of years humans have learned to automate large numbers of daily actions. Some of these serve a very useful purpose but some can easily hold us back and ensure we never experience the profound growth and contribution of which we are capable. In today's episode I share my own experience of the positives and negatives o daily habits and how they can shape our lives in the most powerful ways.
