Today, I want to share with you a simple secret that will make your day better.

The idea came to me after reading the book called Radical Forgiveness by Colin Tipping, and I have been practising it ever since.

This simple habit transformed my life:

  • It changed how I view the world,
  • It improved my relationships,
  • It helped me slow down and focus on my priorities.

For the idea to get more accessible, let’s start with a basic assumption:

We all have bad days. We get hurt and hurt others, but underneath we are driven by the need: to love and be loved.

We condition our good mood upon the behaviours of others, the stock market, the weather and all sorts of external conditions.

As long as you persist on conditional living, your mood will be susceptible to the ebbs and flows of outside events.

To change the outside, you need to look inside.

At first, my idea might sound silly, but I encourage you to give it a chance. For at least one day. It works.

Here it goes:

Look at whatever happens in
