What is your relationship with Failure? If you’re anything like me, the world you grew up in used to – and in many ways still does – look at failure as something to be avoided. Sometimes at all costs. You’ve probably heard that cheesiest of lines: “Failure is NOT an option!” I’ll be right now, …
Can we talk about social media for a moment? Lately – ok, it can be argued that this has been going on for a long time, but I’ve felt a shift in myself and maybe you have too – social media (certain sites anyway) has become the place I’d go when I want to get …
Roadwolf. Girish and the Chronicles If those two lines sound a little (or a lot) like band names, you’d be right. Now you may be asking yourself, “What do those two bands have in common?” Well let me tell you. Before Thursday, I had *Zero* idea that they even existed, and both are bands that …
I’ve been interested in Happiness for a while now. Seems like a kind of silly thing to say I mean, after all, who wouldn’t be interested in Happiness? But this isn’t about something you acquire, it’s more in the vein of what Happiness is (and what it isn’t) and how it works. I started off …

I’m not the biggest fan of my own voice. To clarify, I’m talking about hearing a recording of my voice being played back to me. I never sound on a recording, the way I think I sound when I’m just talking – which is kind of ridiculous because in both cases, it’s still me doing …
There are two words I want to talk about today: Activation Energy. Now this is pretty much what it says on the tin. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed to start a process. It can be a chemical reaction, if can be a car going from a standstill to moving, it can be …
Today, I’d like to talk about a couple of terms that have been on my mind lately, thanks to the guys at the High Performance Podcast. Passion and Purpose.
