Over the years I’ve tried and tested a number of principles of life to grow myself, my mind, spirit and yes even my body. And discovered the end result was greater happiness. Though sometimes I think my body would take the idea too literally and actually grew in places I’d rather it didn’t! So some revision was required for what I meant by growing my body 🙂 There’s nothing fancy about these principles, but they’re rock solid life principles that set the agenda for your life.

I can’t carry on.” I mean the quieter, niggling feeling. The energy-sapping sense that, “There’s more to life than this.” I know the experience well. I wanted desperately to find purposeful work. I was eager to pour all my energy into something meaningful. And, more than anything else, I didn’t want to feel like I was frittering away my time in endless drudgery. I was discovering that it’s not always easy to find your calling. And I’m willing to guess that the reason you’re…
