There is no ‘one size fits all’ way to do things. I see so many people trying to be someone they are not. There is this belief out there that things should be hard; should be a struggle and you ‘should’ be a certain way. I don’t really buy it. Any struggle provides information that […]

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.” – Viktor E.

The Power of Safe Spaces
By July 30, 2014 12 Comments
One of the things I have come to recognise in recent times is the power of safe spaces. Without them, we cannot explore our full potential. To me, a safe space is somewhere you can explore whatever you want to explore, freely and without consequence. It can be a crash mat when you are learning […]
The Rising Tide

I am not a big fan of self interest, in any form. In this era, many of our systems promote it, whether in patents or politics, and, sadly, self interest drives the behaviour of much of the world around us. Consequently, it is causing patterns of short-termism in behaviour that lessen our ability to thrive […]

There is one question that should be asked much more often. That question is: What if we reimagined this from a blank page? You see, there is a huge shift happening in what is possible.

It would have been easy for me to not share this post at all. It would have been easy to project an aura of invulnerability to the world, as if the journey is always easy. The truth is – it isn’t always easy. One of life’s great problems is the gap between what people project […]

Is your mindset having an impact on your life? For me, everything starts with having a great mindset. This is an amazing concept that everyone should learn about – because it is life-changing. And the great thing about this is that it is such an easy thing for anyone to change. We have an interesting […]
Will you take the red pill?

We are living an illusion. We frequently ignore reality. We try to forget unpleasant things. The world we live in is dying slowly every day. Whether it be our resources, our climate, our happiness or our health, step by step, we are collectively and gradually worsening things. And if we don’t resolve this, we will […]

On May 25, 1961, in his address to Congress, President John F. Kennedy proposed the national goal of “landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to the Earth” by the end of the 1960s. This goal was accomplished on the Apollo 11 mission, when astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on […]
