Sometimes we get into what I call "head-space". By this I mean we live life as a concept rather than making our days come to life. We just get on and do, do, do and end up feeling like, well... do-do! When you get out of t...

I was walking with someone who has known me a few years now. In the time I've known him I've writhed and struggled with life. But he was awestruck. I haven't seen him for a few years and he kept shaking his head at some of the things I was telling him. And to be hone... Self Help CommunitySoul - Neil Fellowes Tue, 26 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=228148&ca=Self+Help I'm sure you'll agree with me that most people will see procrastination as a negative. But today I want to challenge this belief. Wikipedia says procrastination is about deferment or avoidance of an action or task. It may result in stress, a sense of guilt, the loss of productivity, the creation of...

Behind me were the ruins of an old settlement and I was alone, but for a few birds cruising on the wind. As I watched the birds being carried on th...

But even though the worst of my life experiences were behind me, frustration mounted. I just wasn't getting things on track quick enough for my liking. The agony of not succeeding pushed me to breaking point. And that's when something perf... Self Help CommunitySoul - Neil Fellowes Tue, 05 Feb 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=145546&ca=Self+Help When one of my school teachers reached the end of her tether and shouted she'd send me to the headmaster I didn't argue. I said, "Okay. I'm happy to speak to him." Wrongly, she thought I'd fear the big, authority figure of the head teacher. But my parents brought me up with a healthy attitude toward... Self Help CommunitySoul - Neil Fellowes Wed, 30 Jan 2008 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=217666&ca=Self+Help Let's start with a question. How can we improve the quality of life by say 25% this year? If you're like most people your thoughts might immediately turn towards having more of certain things. It's fair to say the media is effective at conditioning us down this path of excess. Advertising aside, bus...

Julie had some news she was absolutely bursting to share. She'd just had one of those moments of excitement where everything made sense and she wanted to share it. 'You know Neil,' she said, 'I thought you were joking. Here I was in debt, try...

Having come through so many frustrations though, I can honestly look back and tell you one thing that stands out as I've moved on from each of them.
