Many people give up hope of living the life they want to live at an early stage due to the pressures of having to pay the bills and tread the mill.

freedom through tiny steps
Tasks, projects and action; the sure way to get the right stuff done. Last time I talked about how setting aside just one hour a day by getting up earlier can get you on your way to achieving freedom to start the micro business you’ve always wanted.

With your own Micro Business you can have Beer and Skittles every day. A famous old English saying “life can’t be all beer and skittles”, communicates perfectly the old puritanical ideal that enjoyment of life is bound to be restricted to fleeting glimpses of pleasure sandwiched between large and heavy slices of mindless work and… Continue reading micro business

The fact is that many of the things we do in life are for reasons other than progressing our own happiness or freedom. They are quite often done for reasons of competition i.e. competing with our fellow humans for recognition; an effort to be recognised, praised and appreciated. This is however, just another form of clinging; the greatest health problem in humanity.
