What is Egoism?

Good morning everyone,

I hope you’re all keeping well 🙂

In Philosophy, ‘Egoism’ is the ethical theory that one’s self is, or should be, the motivation and the ultimate goal of one’s own actions in life. We’re going to be exploring this a little further in today’s blog, breaking down the different versions of egoism and the impact that each one creates on how you make decisions.

We all have our own story…

Good morning everyone,

I hope you’re having a lovely start to the week 🙂

I have always been fascinated by the concept of storytelling, whether it is a business that is sharing its story or somebody exploring the vast possibilities of the world, I believe that there is such art in the stories that we tell, which is exactly what we are going to be exploring in today’s blog.

What is Ethics?

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you’re all having a lovely start to the weekend 🙂

I’ve been loving taking a trip down memory lane lately, looking back on some of the different topics that I have written about over the years. Ethics and philosophy are two areas that have really captured my interest over the last 3-4 years, and it’s been fantastic to talk about them with you all here on the page.

As I haven’t covered any new ethics or philosophical concepts for a while, I thought that it would be good to jump back into what we mean by the term “ethics”, so that I can do a bit more in-depth exploring over the next couple of months. Be sure to check out the blog if you’re interested and I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Writing an Achievement/Gratitude List

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you’re having a lovely start to the week 🙂

I’ve been thinking a lot about some of the older blogs that I have done on the page, and I decided to do a bit of a trip down memory lane today, revisiting one of my older blogs, all about writing an “Achievement/Gratitude List”. My list has thankfully grown quite a bit since this blog, but it’s always good to reflect on where we’ve come from!

Be sure to let me know if you’d be interested in seeing more of my older blogs make a return.
