It seems such a long time ago when my initial personal development journey started… because today and just about every day, I wake up feeling happy.
“Ok Adam… Why the early morning sickly sweet happy yuckiness??”
There were some very dark times in my earlier years that I have written about here and in my books where the sensation of genuine, deep rooted happiness was alien to me – both in theory and in actuality. In fact, if I met someone claiming to be experiencing the sort of happiness that I have now, it would have made my lip curl, my eyebrows frown and make me feign being sick!

So while you wade through group emails from your friends today entitled “Friday Funnies” let me ask you a very important question…. (more…)
I can remember many years ago, a friend and I went to a massive Tony Robbins seminar in the US (the seminar being massive… Although Tony is very tall…) and coming away pumped up, with loads of new ways to make ourselves feel great and ensure there was no room at all in our lives for any unwanted feelings or anything negative at all.

These day, I tend to promote the notion of introducing as much positivity into your life in a variety of ways, you see that, don’t you?
Today however, I wanted to promote negative feelings… “Uh-oh… Here he goes again…” Let me explain… (more…)
