I read an article on Jeff Bezos about a month ago and there was part of it that really stuck with me. He basically said that the fall of Amazon was coming and that all he could do was delay it for as long as possible. I don't know what it was about his words … Continue reading Bezos, Amazon and temporary things
Do not disturb
What I find to be true for me and perhaps for many others is that we don't like to be disturbed, especially when we weren't interested in the first place. I was recently sat working on some structural calculations when someone approached me, disturbed me even. They wanted me to vote for something that I … Continue reading Do not disturb
What do you want to be known for?
It's a question worth asking and I'd go so far as to call it mandatory for anyone that puts out content online. Whether you're a blogger, podcaster, writer, social media influencer, youtuber, IGTVer etc. Having an intention or some sort of direction will be incredibly beneficial. It helps you figure out what you want to … Continue reading What do you want to be known for?
3 Months of daily blogging!
Time has flown by and one thing that I can tell you about daily blogging is that it's not as difficult as I thought it would be. The act of coming up with something to write every single day and sharing it is more enjoyable than challenging. I thought I'd get 'writers block' but any … Continue reading 3 Months of daily blogging!
Thinking of you and getting things done
Sometimes I wonder about the people that read my blog. How old are you? What do you do for a living? Are you into fashion (I am!)? What do you like about my blog? What do you want to see more of? Some of those questions are worth asking more than others but overall I'm … Continue reading Thinking of you and getting things done
Fear of the new
Just stick with what you know and don’t explore anything new. That is the voice of my anxious self which sometimes dominates as my inner monologue. I’ve learnt to not listen to that terrible advice anymore because when I did, I was miserable. It’s quite fascinating when the thing that you feel you need to … Continue reading Fear of the new
Stained glass and summer projects
I saw this building just over 6 months ago. It had this geometric stained glass exterior and sort of appeared timeless not quite contemporary but also so for from its concrete covered counterparts from decades gone by. I wanted to capture it and then I got thinking about all the other buildings I’ve seen that … Continue reading Stained glass and summer projects
Monday night was special
There I stood on a Monday night in a room full of strangers, in a city that was slowly becoming more and more familiar. I was there to do something I never thought I'd get to do. I never thought there was a chance that my favourite singer from New Zealand who now lives in … Continue reading Monday night was special
People like you and people like me
What great use it is to remember that not everyone is like you. We often approach situations with this underlying thought that we’re right and they’re wrong or tell ourselves that we have to try and convince the other person that we’re right at any cost. We‘re so convinced it's what we have to do … Continue reading People like you and people like me
A return to childhood things
I was 18 years old sitting on a swing in a park at dusk. I felt lost at the time and also a little hopeless. I didn’t know what to do, what I should or even could do and so I sat swinging on the swing. It was a return to something I loved to … Continue reading A return to childhood things
