I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud BY WILLIAM WORDSWORTH [Celebrated by a visit to Kingston Lacy] I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretched in never-ending line A...

I was so inspired last night by a local event with Evolve on the topic of Podcasting that I had an Aha! Aha! #1 was that I had The Perfect Face for Podcasting! Aha! #2 was that I could do a Breakfast Show Again! (Used to do two a week for Hope FM.) Here's the structure: 1) Opening insight from Alexa (reframed by me for copyright reasons) 2) National Day of... 3) Theme of the Day - Friday is always...

Look How Far... Let's imagine a T-junction. To the left is the past. To the right is the future. To the left is happiness. To the right is unhappiness. That doesn't make sense, does it? It makes even less sense when we realise that the natural tendency, in the example that follows, is to turn to the right every time. No, it doesn't make sense, but it's the truth in one very important choice point...

The most important call to action I've ever issued... ...who will answer the call? Original image: Photo by Patrick Brinksma on Unsplash - with thanks

Would you like 'more light' in your life? The solution is straightforward - uncover and open more windows! Like the picture that goes with this blog and podcast (with thanks for permission to use the photo by Miti on Unsplash), we often have occluded areas of our lives. Our friends (and enemies) can help us open these windows. One of them, we can choose to open ourselves thereby coming out of the...

This is a binaural beat recording, designed to get your brain into an Accelerated Learning State ideal for Speed Reading. WARNING - IT'S WEIRD. This only works when wearing headphones.

It’s an invasion, and we need to repel it. With three sons and now five grandchildren, I have a lot of opportunity to watch ‘natural’ states in the wild! There are many: Anger Surprise Sadness Wonder Excitement...

If you're of a certain age, you will remember the love and passion that went into recording a cassette mixtape for a friend or someone you were in love with! Isn't it time we fell back in love with ourselves? Of course it is! For this reason, I'm recommending that we 'record' a new mixtape full of positive affirmations that help us believe that all things are possible - that, in fact, nothing is i...

My friend Sam is a Master of Mindset. He is able to stay positive and resourceful even in negative and adverse circumstances by using a technique called 'reframing'. Reframing literally re-frames the meaning we ascribe and attach to events, behaviours, and circumstances to make them mean something that will empower us and keep us resourceful. You can learn how to make 'Shift Happen' by applying re...

Enjoy the "Transforming Tuesdays" podcast from Becoming Heroes.

Investing in someone else's emotional wellbeing is the best investment ever. Maya Angelou said people always remember how we made them feel. This podcast focuses on the might three: 1) Faith 2) Hope 3) Love If we can help people have more confidence (faith) in themselves, if we can give them hope from a brighter future, and if we can leave them feeling loved, respected, cherished, then we will hav...

If you are going to attract or join an authentic tribe, your 'Creation Story' must resonate with their values, their mission, and perhaps even the path that they have walked or are walking. In this frank account of my own story so far, I share how I came to believe in what I hold to be of prime importance, and why I am committed to helping people just like you 'become the hero you were meant to be...

Have your fears ever lied to you? I bet they have. They mean well (I think)but lock most of us in a prison that restricts us to achieving a mere fraction of our potential. Knowing how untruthful my fears have proven to be, I jumped at the chance to do a Firewalk with Sam Dyer as my Trusted Guide. Here's the story of what this meant to me, and what it could come to mean for you too.

Vitality is a great word - how would you like to FEEL more ALIVE today? Feeling great, feeling more alive, is easier than you might think.

Go Where You Are Looking – the Monday Moodscope Blog “Look where you’re going!” may have been something you’ve heard time and time again throughout life, but my friend Tim used to go where he was looking! When he first passed his driving test, travelling out with him was an adventure not fit for the faint-hearted. He had an uncanny tendency to point the car in the direction he was looking. In the...

Whom can you trust? When we've been hurt by others, it can be all too easy to put up barriers and pull down the shutters. We do this to protect ourselves but it also cuts us off from kind people who genuinely want to help. In this podcast I encourage all listeners to stay 'Open All Hours' even if they need to ban certain 'friends' from the shop!

A call to action - to take control of what you can on LinkedIn. The Algorithm will and should remain an ever-changing mystery - which puts it in the Circle of Concern, not even in the Circle of Influence, and most definitely not in the Circle of Control. What we can control is the look and feel of our profile and company page. We can control the content we share. We can control how much we share.

Taking a lesson from a long-overdue tooth-extraction, I ask what do we know we have in our lives that is also overdue for an exit strategy!

Hitchhiking to Happiness is the title I'd like to use for a book. Here's the blog where the idea has first been expressed. My main intended meaning is that to discover happiness - either on the journey or as a destination - we need to travel together. We also need to travel with people whose gifts and talents and perspectives differ from our own. A hitchhiker and the person giving them a lift ofte...
