I’ve got a special Friday the 13th edition for you today. I hope you’re not superstitious. I used to think that people knew what they were doing, that they were aware of their actions, I doubt this highly now. “Forgive them Lord for they know not what they do.” Christ proclaimed as he was nailed …
If you don’t establish what’s good and bad for you, then someone else will. You’re always at someone else’s mercy if you don’t believe you’re first in your own life. Put yourself first. Did you shudder? That’s what we’re taught to do in all areas of our lives. Please your parents. Please your teachers. Please …
Life is Inside Out. Victims are violent people. Defence is the first Act of War. What other people do is none of your business. You can disagree with people and still be their friend.

Things happen and you have to …

You can’t please other people, that would require you knowing what they wanted and people being able to actually articulate it. Most people don’t know what they want. They follow, they …
No is the hardest word, I am convinced. Shortly before my ex blocked me from his life, we had a long conversation where he said “Martin, can’t you just be happy with meeting every now and then?” At that point, I really should have answered “No.” When I am in something, I am committed, particularly …
I’m feeling refreshed from a wonderful night’s sleep! It’s very easy in the modern, crazily-busy world to forget the small things, those little pleasures that make a massive difference.
