So, who wants to be compelling? Or rather… who doesn’t? Of course, everyone wants to be emphatically compelling, highly convincing, emanating this resolute air of matter-of-factness that gets things done, in the way one wants to get them done. I’m pretty sure that’s the case for you as well, dear Friend. Now, it so happens […]
Fear of failure… Who hasn’t dealt with it? It would probably be quite unnatural if there were a member of our species who has never experienced such fear in their lives. I am therefore going to assume that you, the reader of this post, have also faced it, and continue facing it, in one way […]
Enlightenment… What a charged, abused and misused word!
