Are you ready for big changes in your life?


credit: Peter Gerdes

I was driving in my car today when I was hit with a sudden thought. I’m at a point in my life where I’ve come to expect amazing things. I’m also in a curious position where I’m feeling more and more gratitude for the things in my life, for what I have.. but I’m also not satisfied with my former life: I’m ready for change.

How will this happen? By looking for opportunities. I’m trying to read more, learn more, love more. I am becoming more in tune with (more…)


Inner wealth.. and realism

I’m a big believer that being wealthy is not all about the money, but let me qualify this statement by saying I’m also a realist.

I like having money!  I like being healthy!  My goals for the coming year revolve around several of the components that together (in my opinion) make up the concept of inner and outer wealth.  But realistically, when I read articles that will hopefully lead me closer to achieving my goals, I tend to shy away from (more…)


Reflecting on uniqueness

Have you ever really thought about how unique you are? Kids are often told this kind of thing to build positivity and self esteem, but when you stop and think about it, it really is quite amazing! Nobody is quite like you. You have your own look, your own style, your own quality.

The way you walk, the faces you pull, the feelings you have… Everything put together (more…)


Go on, motivate me!

Have you ever had those days where you’re sure there was supposed to me more to life than this? You’re lying in bed thinking, “is this my destiny?”

Sometimes when you get those kind of feelings it can be a good reminder that it’s time to get going on the things you want to get done in life. Other times it can make you feel depressed! Regardless, if I’ve felt like that in the past, I firstly take a bit of time to be (more…)


Get excited about life!

I love seeing people who are enthusiastic and passionate about life!

Kids are great because they don’t hold back with their reactions. At a birthday party for example – that instant where you see excitement, passion and pure joy across a child’s face. They’re not concerned with who is watching or what others might think. It makes everyone in the room smile!

Fast forward 10, 15, 20 years. What on earth happens?! We become so concerned with our place in society… The way people see us.. What other people think. I’ve seen adults open some amazing gifts and then work hard to control their (more…)


I’m so freaking lazy!

Are you like me where you have great intentions to do some amazing things, but they often don’t come to pass? Ever thought to yourself later, “I’m so lazy! Why didn’t I do something productive!”

Last week I had a whole day off where the kids where at school, my wife was working, and I really had no responsibilities. I had some great plans about all the stuff I was going to do – finish a book, do some banking, set up some spreadsheets & do some planning for the next few months…

My intentions really were to get up early & spend a great, productive day getting through many (more…)


Life goes on: don’t give up!

It’s easy to say, isn’t it – ‘life goes on’…
I’ve heard similar statements all my life: “she’ll be right mate…”  “There’s always tomorrow…!” “Ah well, that’s life”.  When I truly think about it though, I find that statement to be both flippant and correct.

Flippant because it’s often thrown out in casual conversation where it’s not meant to be taken seriously.  For example, I’ve left my wallet at home when I need it… or I can’t find my keys… “Ah well, life goes on”.  It’s not a situation that is going to have any effect on me in the long term.

However, the same flippant statement is also widely used in completely different contexts.  My background is in health care, and I have spent quite a lot of time surrounded by people experiencing (more…)
