We control half the equation

E (Event) + R (Response) = O (Outcome) This is a simple equation that can help develop what we like to call "The Lion Mind" Simple is a deceiving word because simple doesn't mean easy, just simple. The good thing about the above is that once we realise that no matter what, we control our... Continue Reading →

To know

"I have to not know, to know. I have to struggle along my path before the path becomes clear. It will not be easy or quick and I shouldn't wish for such things. But know that when I do push through, that it will all be worth it. Every single tough moment of it. The... Continue Reading →

My feedback journey

Listen to feedback that interests me at the time or supports my ego. Reject all other feedback. ⇓ Consider all feedback received for the potential growth. Struggle with dis confirming feedback. ⇓ Seek out all feedback. Where can I improve? This is a hugely over simplified model of how my journey of feedback has progressed, but... Continue Reading →

Do the hard things

Do the hard things before the hard things are necessary.   It's a sentiment that's easily ignored, or even just flat out unknown, in relatively comfortable times, but then the big bang happens. Our big bang is Covid-19 and if you haven't trained yourself for a moment like this then you likely struggled a little... Continue Reading →

The fallacy of safety

I've been following Logan Gelbrich's writings and beliefs for quite some time and one of the theories that he has held true for that period is that so many people give up chasing their peak expression or passion for a life of safety in a career that they are told "Is the better option".

Good…then we’ll work harder.

Times are tough and weird and strange. Good... Then we will work harder. That's all you can do. That's all I can do. No matter the circumstance, the only way to move forward is to work hard at what you need to. Nothing else works. And just for clarity, hard work doesn't mean burn out... Continue Reading →
