Rasheed and Steve Nobel – chat no.1
This weekend I caught up with fellow coach / author and Co-Director of Alternatives Steve Nobel.

Love is the only answer to every question…
You may know that before my career as a life coach & speaker I was a singer/songwriter. Infact it was seeing so many artists who struggled with life and career that that led me into the work that I do today.

Life basically revolves around two extremes....which are on one spectrum. There is mindlessness and mindfulness. Interesting we get them mixed up. Mindlessness: Is actuallymost often born of having too full and too busy a mind. Where one is often trapped, caught, haunted or obsessed by thoughts and fears. Where one takes the thoughts to be the complete and utter reality. It creates conflict within and creates feelings of conflict others and the world around. Carelessness and ...

Fear is your friend
Without doubt, fear is perhaps the most misunderstood and paralysing ‘feeling’ that you may wrestle with in life. Sometimes simply because of its name, we feel that we should be afraid of it.

As 2011 comes to a close…
As 2011 comes to a close it is clear that it has been a momentus one globally, economically, polically and indeed spiritually. It has been one of those years in which everything that you thought were fixed you realised has always been in flux. That is the very nature of life. Political, social, spiritual, financial and historical pundits will all discuss and debate it. What I would say is that the way that we have been living ...
