Follow Your Heart

As A Man Thinketh | James Allen

This is a beautiful, timeless, short and sweet bible of sorts.  Written in 1903, the teachings are as valid and profound today as they were ground breaking when first popularised. Allen is the pioneer of popularist personal development literature. There are some gems to take heed of like... Circumstance does not make the man. It reveals him to himself.’  Oh…

Life Balance is a Fundamental, Human Right. Let’s make it easier to find.

“For my daughter.” “For my young female future leaders.” “For my husband.” “For society’s tomorrow.” The room resounded with different personal reasons as we debated, why?

Common purpose. It’s wonderful when we’re in sync with our gang and all moving in the same direction together. Each Tribe Brings Different Fulfillment Now each one of…
