Our heart wants us to feel love first, not the pain. Our heart wants us to feel safe, not scared. Our heart wants us to respect each other, not hate one another. Our heart wants to find other hearts that together empower each other to make a HUGE difference to the place we all call home. Our heart wants us to unite with the heart of this country so country and nation can live as one.
Every challenge contains an invitation to better ourselves. We might just take it as something that brings strain and stress in our lives and we want to overcome in order for it to disappear. Or we can consider it as an opportunity to come together, help each other, learn how to ask for support and how to give it.
We have to confess, we LOVE a good book – especially a text that can teach and better us from the inside out. You know the book that just seems to flick a switch to ON on the internal circuit board? The type of book that you read and say “I need to own a copy of this” or a book that you’re forever ear-marking the pages as you journey through the profound teachings from cover to cover. Today we share with you our top and favourite books with impact.
2020! What a wild ride it’s been thus far and we’re only six months in.
This is the year of major transformation; there is no denying that. Our beliefs, our feelings, our fears and our lives have been shaken. What was normal, is now not there. Has our comfortable life how we knew it vanished? Or how do we go about getting it back?
As I write this, we’re in the depths of a world pandemic. A new virus (one we have never seen before) has very quickly swept its merry way across the world claiming victims as it moves with force. We (humans), the apparent most ‘powerful’ species on the planet, have been stopped in our tracks. We’re in self-enforced isolation, or hibernation. Not just me, not just my family, not just the nation in which I currently call home, the entire world!
Living back in the big smoke, after our stint on the road last year, one of the first things that became apparent while living the city life once again is the pace, the intensity, and how everyone seems to be so disconnected from one another.
It has an air of selfishness, individualism and competitiveness. But how can a city filled with millions and millions of people feel so isolating?
Connection. A simple 10 letter word that, in our opinion, holds the secret to happiness.
For years we were seeking happiness from external sources hoping that one day we would find that thing that would be the answer to all our problems. However, what we didn’t realise was we were seeking ‘pleasure’, which is actually very different to happiness. So what’s the difference and how can we find true happiness?
