Being patient is a hopeful thing. It's often done hoping that sooner or later things will change. Sure you can scream and shout for what you want and to be heard by others. But often you just end up being ignored. People will focus on the fact that you scream and shout, not the reason … Continue reading Running out of patience

Choice and change

Why it’s so hard to change
You spend a large amount of your formative years trying to figure yourself out. You're favourite colour, what you like to eat and the kinds of movies you like to watch.

Creating a sustainable business
Some of the businesses that have suffered the most are the ones built on bringing people together and having person to person interactions. On the other hand for the people that have created online businesses they can run from anywhere, it's pretty much business as usual.

Missing normal
Suddenly the everyday mundane tings that often got overlooked are the very things that you long for. The walk to the train station, getting a vanilla latte at your favourite cafe and walks through the city centre on a Saturday afternoon.

Difficult to solve
Some things in life are difficult to solve. There are lots of factors to consider, plus you have to find something that works for people that don't think the same way. What works for one won't necessarily for everyone else. The great idea you had might not work. And that is not just my opinion … Continue reading Difficult to solve
Who you think you are
For many people if they give it some thought they'll find that a large proportion of their character is based on who they think they are. Often those opinions are made at a young age without any real judgement. Yet you carry them with you into adulthood without even checking to see if your mind … Continue reading Who you think you are
Finding joy in the things we love
I've been writing a little different lately and trying to figure out the best kind of things to share during this time. My aim is to be relevant but whilst still maintaining my usual style and core themes. I've been thinking a lot about science, history, people and fear. From that I've had so many … Continue reading Finding joy in the things we love
