"What would you tell me if I was in a funk?" That's the simple advice I got a few weeks ago from a friend when I was having a down day. My first thought was "Yeah, whatever" but after some more pushing it became clear that I knew exactly what I needed to do to... Continue Reading →
New Adventure
And some nights, my thoughts don't flow out as a blog or an article. Some nights, poetry is all that's in there. These strange times when we're forced in, still finding ways to fight and win. It all seems tough but that's good you see, we grow more in adversity. So hoist the black flag... Continue Reading →
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 →

We are the sum of... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
