Do you feel lost sometimes?

Is there a lack of excitement in your life?

Are you fed up with spending 90% of your time doing the things you have to do and only 10% of your time doing the things you want to do?

If any of the above applies then I have the answer for you. However, it doesn't involve travelling the world, retraining at university or quitting your job.

Its gonna happen sooner or later. You can follow all the rules, keep your head down and work hard but you're still going to get shafted.

"Think Positive"

"Believe in Yourself" 

"There's no such thing as failure"

Three cliched statements you'll read or hear on any personal development blog, school or thousand dollar seminar.

Not here.

You see while each statement has value, they've become so overused and misunderstood that people generally have no clue what they're talking about when saying them. 

After all, what does 'think positive' really mean?

Have you ever noticed how life is all topsy turvey? 

It's crazy. Deceit and dishonesty seem to be rewarded. Good people get taken advantage of and the ones who deserve a lucky break never get it. Hard work doesn't equate to success and doing your best often isn't good enough.

My grandma is 96 years old and she's still deeply concerned by the cost of a loaf of bread. Despite being a danger to herself and other road users, she's only just stopped driving because she didn't want to pay a nominal taxi fee for the 5 minute journey into town for her weekly grocery shop. She treble checks bills, worries about the hot water being left on too long and nags my mum over insignificant spending. In short, she is absorbed by the minutia of life.
