We’re all human. We have two eyes, we bleed, we feel pain, we cry. But in a world where we’re born equal, we’re far from equal.

But when it comes to social standards and ranking our equality, we’re not equal. Inequality stems from our personal perceptions of learned behaviour passed through the generations, from our grandparents …

Growing up is not only a journey of dips, twists and turns, peaks and valleys, but also mountains for us to climb.

What they don’t tell you about growing up is that not everyone has your back. There will be times when you will have to navigate your journey on your own. They don’t tell you how hard school will be …

Mental Health Awareness week this year runs from the 13th to 19th May. It is important we are aware of mental health and mental health issues. Being aware is key if we are to have and lead healthy lives. Everything that begins to challenge our very existence has something to do with mental health.

Good mental health allows us to think, feel and react in positive and productive ways. Poor mental health means how we think, feel or react to situations will become difficult, in certain cases impossible …

Another back to back blog, this time addressing the devastating impact of humans on nature. A global report by the United Nations this week, states that one million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction through the actions of humans.

The report is the result of assessment of 15,000 reference materials, and has been compiled by the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) …

We now know that plastic is not only extremely harmful to our environment, but it’s extremely harmful: plastic is choking our oceans and killing wildlife.

Countries and cities around the world are banning plastic use and the call for the end of single-use plastics is at an all-time high. Companies are also beginning to implement measures to reduce plastic …

Embrace your fundamental principles. Find joy in the little things. Be content with what you have, be comfortable in solitude, in quiet contemplation and just be happy in the moment. As a child my life was far from this.

It all starts with us. We create our own struggles by attaching too much importance to our disappointments without thinking about what we can learn from them instead. Our disappointments are simply …

Our carbon footprint is massively important to our ecosystem and climate change if we’re going to save the planet for future generations to come.

According to scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to date of the damage farming does to the planet, avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way to reduce your environmental …

Issues are very much the catalyst for non-change. But dealing with issues are important if we are to successfully think about, deal with and come through the other end of change. For that to happen, issues must be continually addressed at all stages of change.

But it is important for us to understand our reasons for our resisting change. We are initially resistant to change because of unresolved issues: but we can still work through change by understanding and dealing with our issues and elements of what change means through the other end.

Ethical principles are a philosophical stance which directly or indirectly leads to a standard based around ethics.

Ethics means ‘moral principles that govern a person or group’s behaviour,’ so that a perfect union is formed, implying that unity of purpose is a primary value. The principle of respect for autonomy …
