What do courage and joy have in common? How do we live fuller and more wholehearted lives by daring greatly?
The answers to these questions and more were answered in Daring Greatly by storytelling researcher and psychologist Dr Brené Brown. Exploring the width and depth of how we live, love and engage with one another, Daring Greatly challenges us to defy the prevailing social climate of scarcity in order to live and love more wholeheartedly.

Is it truly more blessed to give than to receive? Are there situations where we should not just give but receive?
Well, the answer as you would imagine is that it all depends.
Everybody is on social media these days.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Pinterest, YouTube, SnapChat… The list goes on.
Do you spend a lot of time online? Have you written, commented on, shared and tweeted lots of content on social media?
If so, what are you doing to build your personal brand?
I know I know. You already have a day job. You are already busting your guts for your company.
How can you possibly have any bandwidth to build your personal brand using content?

Have you heard the story of the frog in a boiling pot?
Well, if you drop a live frog into a boiling pot of water, it would immediately leap out and save its life. If, however, our webbed protagonist sits comfortably in a pot of room temperature water which is slowly heated up, it would be slowly boiled to death.
Frog legs, anyone?

By now, you ought to know that time is the most precious resource of all.
Every one of us have only 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. This universal rule applies regardless of our station in life. How we make use of our time determines our happiness and success in life.

You’ve slogged hard for years. Maybe even decades. Somewhere along the way, you lost your mojo.
Maybe work isn’t as fulfilling or meaningful as before. Or you realise that you haven’t made any progress in years.
What should you do under these circumstances?
Goodbye Nissan Sunny! You have served us well.
Today is the first day that my family is living without a car, after 16 years of owning and driving one.
Our blue Nissan Sunny has served us well over the past 10 years that it has been with us. However, we have decided that we will not be renewing its expiring Certificate Of Entitlement (COE) for our vehicle, nor to purchase either a new or second hand car. As required by Singapore law, we have scrapped the car at a scrap yard.
New York Times bestselling author Brendon Burchard should know a thing or two about motivation.
Touted as a leading personal development expert, Brendon has a huge following on social media. His previous books such as The Charge (see my book review here) literally flew off the shelves.
Have you started investing in your personal brand? Thought of how you can stand out from the crowd?
If you haven’t, it is high time for you to do so now.
