Do you feel as if you play second fiddle to their work?
Is it left to you to make excuses to the children, to family and friends because they are late or too busy to attend?
Do you send the evenings on your own – even when they are in the house?
Is your partner too busy or too tired to pay you the attention you need and deserve?
Is your life being affected because of the demands of your partner’s work?
Do you feel your own sense of self and your confidence are being eroded because they pay more attention to their work?
Are you feeling lonely and left out even though you are in a relationship?
The theme for today is SACRIFICE. We have the 75th D-Day Anniversary in mind when we decided to talk upon this subject. A point in time when many made the ultimate sacrifice in order to ensure the continuation of something that they thought important. We wanted to explore what this means, why such sacrifices are celebrated or revered and debate if sacrificing one's own life, dreams, opinion is always a good thing to do...
Today's subject is "integrity" - Let's talk about what this means to us, let's talk about how to recognise when you're being true or untrue to it and why that can be a powerful signpost to leading a happier, successful and fulfilling life.
There appears to be a huge mismatch between the romantic fairy story of “Happy Ever After” and the reality for many married couples who find the reality of being married to their spouse very different than their ideal. This puts a huge strain on a couple’s relationship from the outset. For many couples the problems start to manifest themselves quite quickly after all the razzmatazz of the ceremony is over.
So why do couples say nothing?
Today we are exploring The Hero's Journey. There is so much story, legend and myth over the "hero" character, it is an archetype and all of humanity no matter what the race or creed recognises the Hero. Why is this? Why do we love a good hero story? What is it within our souls that has the hero calling out to us? What does hero mean to you? How do you know if you are a hero? Is it only ever possible to see the hero story in retrospective review? Does being a hero automatically result in a happy, successful and fulfilling life?
When you ask people about themselves they will very often answer by telling you what they do rather than who they are. Our sense of identity is coloured by what we do. We are all lots of versions of ourselves: I’m a father or mother, a sister or brother, a son or daughter, a friend or an enemy, a doctor, lawyer, business person, entrepreneur, a sales person or teacher…. There is an endless variety to the roles we undertake.

My Future Business - Interview With Gina Gardiner
I explore how knowing what really terrifies you - the thing that wakes you at 3am in a sweat - is actually a really good sign-post to where you might find your greatest happiness and contentment. As above, so below, and all that!.
Today I'm going to be talking about "Small Things". I believe that a happy, successful and fulfilling life is built upon many tiny moments of compassion and connection. Grand gestures are fabulous if you can afford them - but often they end up feeling a little hollow and "short-cutty". Far better in my opinion to build a legacy that is meaningful and solidly built upon all of the little, hardly any effort at all, moments that can make your life and the lives of others around you so much better.
