These four words are on display in our house, and serve as a constant reminder to our two young boys to ‘dream big’. It also serves as a constant reminder to me – to not tread on the dreams of my children. In a limitless world, I try to beware of inadvertently saddling my children […]
Believe

When I am speaking on stage, I often wear a shirt that says: ‘Believe’. Most of my work in the world involves getting people to believe in what they can achieve. One of my strengths is believing in the impossible, and I try to pass that belief on to others. My times at the neuroscience […]
Letting It Flow
By June 22, 2016 4 Comments
Most mornings, I walk my faithful hound along beside a stream, towards a field of dandelions. Daily, it is a therapeutic and life-resetting journey for me. The stream serves as a constant reminder to go with the flow, rather than swimming against the current. Following this principle is key to our project to make Guernsey […]

Last week, I returned home after the most powerful week of my life. I visited the biofeedback meditation skunk works that is Biocybernaut for the third time, for 7 days of intensive biofeedback meditation. I woke up on Day 7 of that training and felt flat. The previous day, I’d had the biggest breakthrough of […]

Two weeks ago I wrote a blog post on forgiveness – which proved to receive quite a bit of feedback.

Some people know why they do what they do, and others don’t know. There are very few who know what their plan in life is, for after they have done what they are doing. When you eventually retire, or the kids leave home, or you’ve got that promotion, or sold that business – ask yourself: […]

There is great power in the void of silence. At times, it can be far harder to say or do nothing, than it is to say or do something. We are often too quick to react and to act, rather than just ‘let things be’. There is such a call to take effective action in […]
Breathe

Breathing is such a simple thing. And yet we take it for granted. My recently newborn son struggled to breathe on his own for the first days of his life. As a result of this, I have a newfound appreciation for the wonder of breathing and its capacity for life. After all, without it, none […]
The Rebirth of Trust

There was a time when our world was ‘local’. When you knew your neighbour well. When you could let your kids play in the street without fear. When you trusted people. In many ways, we have lost that trust. Even at a local level. Access to global information and the use of negative media to […]
The Power of Small Actions

The speech that the wonderful Pam Warhurst recently gave in my community stated her belief in the power of small actions to change the world: “Through an organic process, through an increasing recognition of the power of small actions, we are starting, at last, to believe in ourselves again, and to believe in our capacity, […]
