The first personal development model I ever discovered was Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. As time has gone on, I have come to realise its fundamental flaws, as it presents a misleading ‘checkbox’ style approach to achieving a fulfilled life.

The larger a block of time separates a meeting with someone else, the more recognisable certain changes are. This is what creates the illusion of an ‘overnight’ change, as the incremental gains toward a goal are hardly noticed step by step.

Recently, I began fasting for extended periods, specifically 3 days at a time. Initially, the idea of a 3 day fast was frightening, but what I discovered was unexpected.
