Focus on what you want, not what you don’t

“I thought I was the only one!”

Arjuna Ishaya
March 22, 2023
“I thought I was the only one!”

We think we’re the only ones … when we see the lifestyle that everyone’s selling on social media, it can be simple arithmetic to think we’re the only ones not doing a very good job of life. Not true, and here’s why.

The gap and your freedom

The last of our freedoms, Viktor Frankl noticed even in the hellhole of a Nazi concentration camp, cannot be taken from us – only given away. It’s always given mindlessly – we don’t realise we’re surrendering our true power. Claim your choice and it will change your life.
