Expectation has brought me disappointment. Disappointment has brought me wisdom. Acceptance, gratitude and appreciation have brought me joy and fulfilment.

Your words, thoughts, intentions and actions today are your best hope, comfort, building blocks and insurance for tomorrow. But it is now alone that is guaranteed – tomorrow is a dream, a maybe a potential gift. It’s now - not tomorrow - where happiness and fulfilment live...awaiting your discovery. It’s all this that will make each extra day that may arrive extra special and rich.

The world is already yours - why try to conquer it?

Expectation and disappointment are far from friends but they are close relations.

Rest and peace should not be left until you're deceased. They are two vital life incredients everybody needs and seeks.

While you'll feel compelled to charge forward it's often a gentle step back that will reveal to you where you and what you truly seek.

You won't ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

Live your life, sing your song. Not full of expectations. Not for the ovations. But for the joy of it.

To me success and fulfilment lead in two different directions: one outwardly to the hope of glory, the other inwardly to the guarantee of peace.
