If you've got something to say, then say it. And if there's something you want to do, you may as well do it. You only have to look at the current events whether on social media or on the TV to be reminded that sometimes you won't get the chance to do the thing you've … Continue reading You might not get tomorrow

A new version of you
It's not always easy to show people that you've changed. Especially when on the outside you look exactly the same. For example, how do you show someone that you've developed new neurological pathways? For the most part when you change, you do it for you. Although on the other side of it you might feel … Continue reading A new version of you
Pushing the boundary
Many people have an unspoken set of boundaries for what they do and don't do or a set of rules that govern the choices they make. And sometimes the boundaries that you give yourself become limitations. Suddenly you find that you're not doing the things that you want to do because your boundaries go against … Continue reading Pushing the boundary
Consumption and influence
You might be under the impression that the media you consume has no influence over you. But one day you might find yourself saying, doing or buying something that doesn't quite feel like you. For example, on a podcast a woman spoke about how she noticed that when watching a particular reality tv show she … Continue reading Consumption and influence
The thing about missing out
Sometimes it might seem like you're missing out. But the power of hindsight is that when you push too hard for a particular outcome you'll find that you'll be glad you missed out. Turns out some things aren't meant to be even if you don't realise in the moment. We often get caught up in … Continue reading The thing about missing out

Putting something off that you know you should be doing now is silly. The more time you let slip away, the more the urgency increases. Suddenly the thing … Continue reading Worth putting off
What it’s like to be an ideas person

That idea never came to life. I wanted it to be a group thing, a site run by team of … Continue reading What it’s like to be an ideas person
Challenges in common
One of things that makes a challenging experience more challenging is feeling alone. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you are alone in your difficulties because you're not. With a planet of over 7 billion people I'd like to think that pretty much all my challenges are shared by at least one other person … Continue reading Challenges in common
Almost bored
Ever have those days where you're just pottering around the house not quite sure what to do. There are at least 17 things you could be doing but instead of getting things done you just sort of flitter from one thing to another, aimlessly. It's kind of like a sort of boredom, almost bored but … Continue reading Almost bored
You might need driving lessons
One of the biggest surprises I've had since starting work is the fact that I have to be a driver (drive your career, propel things forward in your desired direction), as in steer my own ship. In school you do what you're told and you can't really defer from what doesn't interest you in fact … Continue reading You might need driving lessons
