Nothing out there is secret. Not any more. Every little piece of the puzzle is on view if you’re prepared to search for it. Attracting success, wealth and health is an algorithm. And a big part of life’s “success-code” boils down to: “How do we treat ourselves?” Don’t worry. Not many have fully cracked the…
DetailsI was 17 years old visiting a town in North Devon, England. A friend of mine accidentally poured salt on my potatoes. Years later another friend made me a cup of tea and accidentally put in salt instead of sugar. Both tasted funny. But I consumed them anyway. At the time, it seemed a great…
DetailsI constantly challenge myself to ask this question… “Does it pass the puddle test” Because here’s the thing… It’s been raining here for 3 days constantly. Some people would moan and groan at this. Many do. But every time my 3 (soon to be 4) year old son sees a puddle, he jumps in…
DetailsI’m going to share something astonishing. Something that should make you angry (but in a really positive way). The kind of way where you can take the Monday bull by the horns and OWN this week. Create the kind of extraordinary plans, personal breakthroughs and high-level adventures you were always supposed to. Ready? Great… So…
DetailsIn the supermarket yesterday I faced a quandary. It involved avocados. As Hamlet would have said – “To buy or not to buy?” The quandary is always the same… Avocados are unpredictable. How they look on the outside doesn’t always tell the story of what’s inside. At the moment they’re out of season here. They…
DetailsHere’s what it’s not. You’re not being called to doubt yourself. Or to suffer paralysis by analysis. None of us are being called to be ordinary. And we’re not being called to play stalling games and get tangled in excuses. Although it’s easy to get blinded by the sheer overwhelming number of options screaming out…
DetailsIt’s funny how things seem to be accidental but then afterwards you kind of wonder. For instance the other day in my email I mentioned Joseph Conrad telling you to “Follow your bliss”. But as a few people pointed out, of course, it was actually Joseph Campbell. J.Conrad wrote “Heart of Darkness”. The inspiration for…
DetailsIt was a sticky note someone had left on his car saying: “Have a good day and smile” Like a random message of kindness. Wonderful! And it got me thinking… If I was going to grab a sticky note and scribble something helpful and generous… What would it be? What would you write? You don’t…
DetailsBecause, as their inventor Dean Kamen famously said: “The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle” It was a strange but very cool experience… At first it was wobbly. But then it was fun. The experience reinforced two powerful lessons for me. 1. Balancing can be difficult at first but, persevere and…
Details“How can I discover my source code?” and “I just don’t know what I’m good at or what my purpose is” The quick answer is to focus on what you enjoy doing. In the words of Joseph Campbell “Follow Your Bliss” FYB is not the destination. It’s the journey. The thing is you can’t discover…
