Do you want to open doors?
Last week we learnt a simple yet powerful way to improve our existing relationships in just 5 seconds. I wonder how much benefit you are noticing after only one week of applying your new ritual? A great deal, I hope. This week I’d like to focus on your relationships...
Can you improve relationships in 5 seconds?
That’s a silly question, isn’t it? As the answer is likely a resounding, “Yes!” We all want to improve our relationships, we just often don’t know how. Sometimes the smallest steps can make the biggest difference, especially if they are taken consistently over a...
Is love a decision or an emotion?
There are hundreds of resources that debate whether love is an emotion or a decision. Let’s start by viewing it as an emotion… can you spot the problem? Yip, our feelings and emotions are fleeting, volatile and at times even somewhat uncontrollable. If you believe...
