Empowering Others To Make a Positive Change To Their Lives
When we were babies, we were born with a completely clean slate. No preconceptions of what the world would be like. We saw the world with new eyes, everything was so interesting, so new, so exciting. The world we were born into was limitless. With each new experience, we learned. With each new touch, we felt a connection to others. With each new smile, we felt love.
I used to read the news right before I went to sleep and first thing in the morning when I woke up.
It was the perfect way to ruin my sleep or to start my day off on the wrong foot. For years, I thought that reading the news was important because I needed to be informed. If I wasn’t informed then I wasn’t relevant. I probably learnt that directly from the news media. I was wrong. They were wrong…Dead wrong.
There are so many wonderful lessons that I have learnt from my two children over the past few years. I learn just as much from them as they learn from me (I might even learn more). They are little teachers that give me amazing insight, at the most unexpected times.
Unfortunately we as adults often fail to see the lessons because we are so busy in our own little world.
When you follow the herd, you lose a sense of your true self. You pass on the urges that you have deep inside of you to be your own person.

The pursuit of excellence is a mindset. It’s how you attack everything you do. It’s about changing your perspective so that everything you do, you do to the absolute best of your ability working within the allotted time and resource constraints. It’s about not settling for less and over delivering on promises made to yourself and others.
When I first heard of meditation I pictured monks sitting cross legged in a Tibetan mountain, chanting to themselves while not moving for hours. Needless to say, I was being completely ignorant to what meditation is. Today, I believe that mediation has been the biggest game changer in my life. Why and how should start mediation?

I recently had the opportunity to go back to the university that I graduated from to speak in front of the 2015 graduating class. I was given full reign to speak about anything I wanted as long as it was “inspiring”.
I spent some time thinking about what I wanted to speak about, and then it hit me. If I could go back in time and speak to myself when I was in the same situation as the graduates, what would I want to know? What do I wish I knew when I was 22?
Having kids has been life changing for me. I realize that as a parent it’s my responsibility to prepare my kids to enter a world where they will face many challenges and ups and downs. There are three philosophies that I teach my kids that I believe will set them up for success for the rest of their lives. What are they? And how can you them to improve your own lives?

There are times in our lives when unhappiness and dissatisfaction creeps in. Internally, we know that we have everything reason to feel happy and content, but for some reason, something is missing. We buy the new thing we have always wanted and think we have obtained a state of happiness but even that good feeling is short lived.. .the only defense against this is Gratitude...
Too many people go through life in a blur. It’s the ever constant rat race that we are in. Climbing the corporate ladder, pleasing others, buying material items to keep up with your friends. I know the exact feeling. But something changed in me a few years ago when I asked myself a simple question; at the end of my days…. will I have mattered?
