“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.” James Clear We are not the sum of external validation or opinion. We are the sum of... Continue Reading →
Don’t compromise
"I knew if I ever compromised, I was going to be in trouble, because if you can compromise once, you can compromise again." Desmond Doss. If you don't know the story of Desmond Doss, I highly recommend spending a few minutes and learning about his story. Whether you agree with his stance or not, once... Continue Reading →
Facilitate the Imagination
It still blows my mind as a parent how much the little things that I take for granted, can bring so much excitement to the minds of our children. The Easter long weekend in Australia is regularly one of travel and mini-holidays for a lot of families but this year that will not be the... Continue Reading →
Lockdown Strong
The Inspired Lion "Lockdown Strong" tee has been designed. I came up with the idea for this shirt while working out in my garage a few weeks ago. I was thinking about all of the awesome videos and photos I'd been seeing of all the warriors out there finding a way to keep up their... Continue Reading →

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? 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 →
