“You are richer than 93% of people. Not in money, but in time. 108 billion people have lived throughout history. 93% of them are dead. You have what every king and queen, every pharaoh and ruler, every CEO and celebrity of the past would give all their wealth for: Today.” This was a thought from... Continue Reading →
If not us, then who?
If not us, then who? This is something that didn't mean much to me for most of my life but the last few years it has certainly hit me deeper. This whole thing, and by thing I mean the world, doesn't work unless we all pick up some slack; in our careers, with family and... Continue Reading →
We have an opportunity
I know, I know....I missed yesterday's blog, and in the first week of building the habit too. I didn't forget. I made a conscious choice that spending my night completely engaged with my wife and girls on our fourth Wedding Anniversary was more important. So now we are back to it. We have an opportunity...

Attitude and Effort
Our attitude and our effort. At the end of the day that is all we can control. There are a lot of things that are happening to, for, and around us everyday that we have no control over. Sure, we like to think we do but we don't. We don't control lock downs or business... Continue Reading →
Who I want to be
This is only a small milestone but a milestone none the less. I promised myself I would start hitting publish on an entry every single day and so far I am 5 from 5. It might seem small but this little 5 days in a row is the first time in 5 or so years... Continue Reading →

In case you don't know, humans fall for this thing called confirmation bias quite regularly and it is a type of cognitive bias that... Continue Reading →
New Skills
Strange times call for new and different skills. My hair has been getting out of control for a little while and I actually just don't like going to hairdressers very often. My usual plan is just to wait until I see my sister and she cuts it for me. Wanting to continue to prioritise social... Continue Reading →
This game is hard
I'm a believer in the stoic way of life. I believe that I should bear my trials with a calm and calculated attitude. I believe that I should do good for other people. I believe that I should see both sides of any given situation equally. Yesterday afternoon these beliefs were tested. On my way... Continue Reading →
We Get To
Okay……. We all know what’s happening around us at the moment and it’s a lot of bad. I’ve wanted to put way more effort into this journal for a long time and I honestly shouldn’t have needed a reason but I will use this current scenario to kick my ass into gear. I have... Continue Reading →
The Gap
It's always interesting to expose yourself to the gap between what your mind thinks you can do and what you can physically accomplish and I find time and time again that competition is such a beautiful and immediate way to bring this out. Even though mindset is one of my favourite subjects to explore, study, and discuss,... Continue Reading →
