It is our responsibility to set our future self up for as much opportunity, success, and joy as possible. This is how you become the person and create the life you want, rather than becoming someone with regret. Describe your future self.*
Ben Hardy

The voice is an inner whisper not obvious or known to others outside. It receives little attention and is not usually highlighted among a person’s abilities. Yet so much depends on that small voice. The truth of its whisper marks the line between honour an egoism, kindness and chaos.**
John O’Donohue

If we go for what Ben Hardy espouses –
And this is what my work with people is about –
Then we must make sure that we are also
developing the inner voice John O’Donohue writes about;
It happened that I read the two books together
four years ago, which feels
significant: as I read Hardy’s words again today, there,
Too, was the small voice desiring we
proceed with caution, always setting ourselves up for
honour and kindness over ego and chaos.
