Look at the closest window to you, to the pane, noticing any water marks or scratches. Now look through it, to the scene behind. Readjusting your focus to behold something that was always there, just unobserved. A new reality. You just refocused your vision, as if a tiny person residing in your retina, responding to your command, twisted the bulky black tubular lenses of your eyes, like a pair of binoculars – only much faster, the equipment: much smaller – to alter your ...

WHO DO YOU SPEND YOUR TIME WITH? The people that you CHOOSE to spend your time with, will determine what you make of your life!  Take a good look at those people.  Are they where you want to be, do they have what you want, are they living the life that you want to live? I specifically mean all the spare time that you have, for example, away from work and even during your breaks at work.  The people that you choose ...

 For most people overthinking is a bad thing… Your head is a non-stop puzzle trying to solve itself, and new pieces are added day by day, hour by hour and minute by minute, so it seems like the inner chatter to see which piece goes where and will never stop. If we look at it like this it seems like overthinking is some sort of mental illness or disorder… which is really quite worrying … But if we look at ...

Crushing My Ego So after writing my first article about loving yourself I would now like to expand and talk about the ego. The little crazy monkey on your shoulder that tells you you are amazing sometimes. And other times it tells you that you are a total loser. I personally love to crush my ego. When someone tells me something that really irritates me. That really gets me all offensive and explaining that it's absolutely not true. I really know ...

ENJOY Whatever it is that you are trying to achieve; trying to be the best person you can be, chasing your dreams, or ultimately fulfilling your purpose, you are only going to get one chance at your life. Every single moment of your life is a blessing!  The only time that you are guaranteed, is now!  So go for it, with everything that you have inside of you.  You have everything inside of you to fulfill your highest potential.  Feel the fear, ...

Life In the Construction Industry, The Good and the Bad!! Where do I start? Having worked in over 20 jobs (in the space of 10 years) related to the construction industry, i think i'm qualified to give you a review on what Life in the Construction Industry is like. I'd say the shit that comes with working on a building site outweighs the good by a large margin. Infact, a pros and cons list of the subject is pretty one sided. Now don't get ...

YOUR BEAUTY In this world of conformity, it takes great courage to truly be yourself!  To truly be yourself, means that you will stand-out from the crowd, be pointed at, made fun of and maybe bullied.  However, the rewards of being yourself, are so great, you will be astounded. This is the reason you were born to this earth, to be yourself.  You are unique, you are magnificent, you are beautiful and you are a powerful being.  If you have any doubt ...

YOUR LIFE IS IMPORTANT Have you seen the film 'It's a Wonderful Life'?  If you haven't, then you need to watch it.  It's a classic black and white film from 1946, with the lead character played by James Stewart.  It's a real tear-jerker that makes a really beautiful point and a strong message to us all. YOU are so important to the future of this planet and everyone on it!  You have been blessed with the seeds of greatness on the inside ...

So, who is to blame for your sadness?  The politicians? maybe it's your friends? or your family? could it be the cat cos it shat on your fav rug this morning? your partner because he / she snores and doesn't touch you like you used too? Your ego will try blame someone for it, but guess what your sadness is your fault, you choose it. (most the time) One morning a family was going through their morning routines, you know the score, ...

Here's one of my songs, songwriting is a passion of mine. I wrote this with my son and he did the video. hope you like it.   If I Was Nine,  video on youtube       (Lyrics) If I was nine I’d fly twice around the earth, In a craft made for two I could drive, you could ride Turn left at the stars there’s brand new constellation I’d name after you..

How many times we didn’t do something, because we were afraid? Fear is a nasty beast. In small doses, it’s good. But when it prevents you from finding your way, that’s the moment to face it. I’d like to share a video of Will Smith telling his first jumping from a plane, that I’ve found very inspiring. Like every single moment of our life in which we experienced fear, we try to avoid that particular event, that person, that exam, thinking ...

Misery Loves Competition... After ten years, it is more than solidified to speak of the mastery in Paul Thomas Anderson’s “There Will Be Blood.” From the magnetically terrifying performance of Daniel Day Lewis to the inescapable vastness of landscape the cinematography captures, the movie is a bleak epic in all respects. Not only does it give us eyes into how modern-day American Capitalism was born, but the madness of inner-self needed to create its foundation. The film opens to one of the ...

Some years ago I was sent on a training course by the company I worked for. As we all sat around our chosen desks the trainer, an extremely over-confident guy, had noted that every person in attendance that day was male. So he decided to perform a little trick to impress us. He asked us all to write down our favourite film title on a piece of paper. The film we find ourselves watching again and again and never tire of. We ...

Reciting “A Crooked Shadow” LORD TOPH  Often times what is written affects us. Or more specifically, it moves us emotionally. Yet the same written words can become more intensified when delivered in a certain manner. I would like to share with you an excerpt from my book entitled, “Five Old Wives’ Tales.” It is a small collection of fictional proverbs; each is narrated by a different individual to uniquely enhance each composition. This is the one which I narrate to share with ...

See Cosmo here? He's a loyal dog. He may chase the postman every now and then. He may try and steal a piece of toast in the morning. But he's got your back.  And if you had a great idea, like realising a photo such as this one of Cosmo could end up earning you thousands and thousands in repeat royalties, he'd gladly stick a bowler hat on his head for the next photo. Thousands and thousands of royalty income could mean a ...
