    When you are going on a journey and you have a destination you're aiming for it's important to first know where you are. Likewise, life is a journey and we're all going somewhere. We are strong believers in the value of, well... values! They have an large impact on the decisions we make and the way we live our lives, so it is important to be aware of what they are.

    143 - Off with the fairies… is escapism something we should avoid?

    We’re all about living with purpose and intentionality wherever you are and in every area of life. “Join us as we move from the daily drift to positive purpose.” is our common invitation, which often means facing up to the reality of our situation and not avoiding the challenges. So we can often come across as being pretty down on escaping our lives into media and entertainment, which is why Matt decided we had to have a conversation about a rather intriguing quote from the famed author ...

    We’re constantly bombarded with messages from marketers and influencers about instantaneous and meteoric growth, endless shortcuts to success, and various life hacks.

    140 - Too Busy To Be Emotionally & Spiritually Healthy?

    "Many of us are just too busy to live emotionally healthy and spiritually rich and vibrant lives." - John Mark ComerIf you're anything like us, this resonates as true. It can be as simple as spending more time doom scrolling on our phones when you've had a busy and tiring day, or as complex a trying to juggle the ever pervading demands of work, multiple schedules and attempting to keep our social lives, well... alive!

    139 - Asking Better Questions

    Questions are powerful, often they can be the first step on a journey of discovery, whether that's scientific, or philosophical, or a simple invitation to get to know someone over lunch. But not all questions are created equal, some questions may actually hinder us from the very start.
