If you’re really busy, slow down

Arjuna Ishaya
March 1, 2023
If you’re really busy, slow down

Step back and slow down – especially when you’re busy and feeling pushed. Hurrying brings the opposite of what you want.

The gap and your freedom

Arjuna Ishaya
February 22, 2023
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.

Consistency and making the habit

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Any habit is the same. Sometimes the secret of building anything is to do less, rather than more.

Abide at the centre of your being

Arjuna Ishaya
February 1, 2023
Abide at the centre of your being

Slowing down to go faster … it seems counter-intuitive. But we’ve tried going faster and faster and all that happens is we get more and more lost. Take a chance on something else.

Arjuna Ishaya

We live busy lives, all of us. We don’t have a lot of time. But – you can make sure it’s Quality time. And I say you need to, otherwise life will just pass you by before you know it.

The language of the present moment

The language of the present moment

The present moment will show you how to live it, in the best way possible – we just have to listen. But how does now speak? What language does it use?
