Not everything you loos is a loss. Sometimes we have to give up everything that’s killing us even if it’s killing us to let go. Once we remove the old, we automatically create space for the new. 1.  Guilt Let’s start by removing guilt. Guilt is to the spirit what gain is it to the body? Mistakes are always forgivable if we’re courageous enough to admit them and remember the best apology to ourselves or anyone else is “changed behavior”. 2.  Excuses It’s time to remove excuses. Excuses are the lies we tell ourselves so that we don’t have to think anything is our fault. 3.  Negative People. It’s time to remove negative people. You literally don’t have to be friends with anyone who doesn’t supports you and still brings your energy down. It’s okay to outgrow anyone who is not growing. Some people are better left in the past no matter how much you want them to be there with you in your present. 4.  Anxiety It’s time to remove anxiety. Anxiety is like s...

He reached out to Mourinho’s camp twice in recent months, offering him £18m a year after tax, as well as promising him complete control over buying and selling players.
