"Holding onto resentment is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die" Famous quote Let's face it - many of us have issues from our past that hold us back and cloud the enjoyment of our present.

I have to admit - I've become one of those annoyingly lucky people who always seem to win everything. At least once a week, I'll tell my husband or friends "Guess what?!" and they'll say "What now?". I've won six months free luxury travel, tickets to personal development seminars, weight-loss programmes and even a scholarship to the exact life coaching course I wanted to do. It's not just big things - I regularly win bingo with my mum, people give me things out of the blue and I even find money in unexpected places.

When People Think You're a Show-Off...
"Nobody likes a show-off!" Have you ever heard that before? Usually it's said to small children who are bragging or trying to get attention but it's drummed into us from a young age to be like everyone else and not think we're special.

Part 2: What I Learnt From Failing Four Years of University
After a devastating four years of failing almost every subject at university, there are four important lessons I've learnt from the experience. Experiencing your own "failure"? Here's my advice: 1. When you're in deep trouble, stop digging After my first disastrous year, I should have acknowledged the problem and taken a different path - changed my degree subject or taken a year out.
