"It feels like a lot of the world is living without a code." What ever happened to everyone having a code? A set of values that they assessed every decision and action from. A code that helped them as they went about their lives. When we don't have a code, we make poor decisions at... Continue Reading →
Ripples
"The chance to affect someone's ripples is always present. Be purposeful with your words and actions." I'm sure it's happened to you plenty of times, someone says or does something that can affect the rest of your day, good or bad. My recent one was good. After having a talk with a friend of mine...

Character is my currency
“Don’t do favours to receive favours back, do favours to inspire further favours forward. Help for the sake of helping. Give for the sake of giving.” When I do something, I want to do it because it’s the right thing to do versus because I’m gaining something from it. I want to act and serve... Continue Reading →

It all matters
"It took me a long time to realise that it all matters. Not just in training but in life. Every single moment and action matters in the story of our lives. These moments and actions don't have to be perfect, but purposeful is a good start." At the beginning of my big shift, that's what... Continue Reading →
Err on the side of kindness
"No matter how defeated you feel, no matter how pointless it may seem in the moment, always err on the side of kindness." This is something that has been in the front of my mind a lot over the last few weeks and months. I honestly don't even have much to write about it or... Continue Reading →
The Last Dance
"Ah man.....that passion that Michael exudes." As a sports fan, I have been thoroughly enjoying 'The Last Dance' docu-series on Netflix that centers around Jordan and the Bulls for the 97/98 season. If you're not a sports fan then it may not be your favourite thing to watch but damn.. I got that 'fire in... Continue Reading →
Start, Stop, and Continue
"Writing about the strategies I learn really help to drive it home for myself." I have been working through a Mental Performance Mastery Certification lately and I find that I sink ideas better into myself when I then write about them after learning, and I wanted to write about the one that has really stuck...
