Anger Management Techniques

Anger is a particularly human emotion. It is both negative and destructive. In the entire history of the universe anger has never solved a problem or moved any situation forwards.

Finding Your Life’s True Vocation

Do you have a job, a career, or a vocation?

A job is something undertaken simply to put food on the table and a roof overhead. A career usually implies a skilled trade or profession reached after a significant period of training/education, often with scope for continuing progression. A vocation goes further than the above. It is the alignment of one’s efforts and achievements with their major life purpose. Continue reading Finding Your Life’s True Vocation
