  • In Pursuit of Joy

    In Pursuit of Joy

    If you’re chasing to find joy, chances are, you’re chasing your tail. Joy is something we leave behind when we pursue something else to pacify our ego. If this resonates with you, you need a copy of the book. 🤓 It is not what we do that prevents us from experiencing happiness but what we…

  • The Space Between

    The Space Between

    The hole in your heart can only be filled by the companion that knows that it is there. Sometimes we seek companionship in search of one that recognises that gap, but fail to realise that we in fact projected our need on their abilities instead. We flit between the calm and the clutter, the spaces…

  • Stark Reality

    There is a starkness that stares you in the face as you see the distractions for what they are. Looking to the future with great expectations, I always found myself pushing the boundaries within which I operated. It was never about what is, but instead, was always about what could be, what is possible, and…

  • To Leave a Legacy

When we consider that against the knowledge and skills we may have acquired up to that point, we realise…

  • Out of Touch

    I sat up in bed this morning, looked at myself in the mirror, and asked myself a simple question. What are you losing sight of? I’ve been significantly distracted for some time now. The truth is, by most standards, I’ve been sad most of my life. It’s a natural disposition. Always aware of what is…

  • Purposefully Distracted

    The earlier days of my life don’t prompt recollections of clarity and purpose. I can’t recall moments where I had a definite view of what I wanted to become and where I wanted to be at any specific point in my life. Of course, the one prevailing thought at the time was the premonition that…
