I’ve been talking a WHOLE load recently about ‘strivers’ and someone asked me the other day – what are they? Great question. Strivers are the parts of you that push you forward in different ways. They are the parts of you that motivate you to exercise/meditate, apply for that promotion, start/build your company, fight the …

October 2021, I went on holiday and I realised that I had literally read no fiction books for the entire year. I realised everything I did was being governed by the parts of me that like to succeed and push forward all the time – I call them my striving parts. Doing a meditation – …
