Is Someone Getting The Best Of You?
True story. I was once working in a hospital that was desperately short of doctors to cover the night shift.

Have You Ever Found Yourself Driving Down A One-Way Road?
Most of the time when you turn in to a one-way road, you know it's one-way as soon as you turn in. The worst kind of one-way roads are those that look like normal roads for a long time.

“But, Money Can’t Buy Happiness!!!”
It's interesting to note that the most precious things in life are intangible. They don't have a price, they aren't things that you can hold in your hands and without them life would be pretty meaningless. Love, family, relationships, purpose, happiness....All intangible.

Your Perception Of Money Is Why You’re Poor
A Quick Anecdote About Getting Into Shape When I was a Junior Doctor, I would often say bye to the receptionists and admin team on my way out for the day.
