A Typical Life? I gotta be honest, I really like my life. Of course I have my moments (being human and all), but for the most part, it rocks. Not a day goes by where I am not thankful for, or totally aware of, what I have and what I’ve been given. Of course it’s not always a normal, conventional or typical life by any means (but who has that?) –… Continue reading

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, ‘You mean fortunately.’ He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided. My attitude to the hill has now changed.

Earlier this week, I wrote a post about limits and how limits engender creativity. Unfortunately, I opened with a lengthy discussion of my recent forays into SLR photography, and the point of that post seems to have gotten lost.

As humans, we are limited beings. We have no wings… Continue reading

How do you do that? You give away what you got. It's not that complicated, really. Short on time? Some people are always running out of time - like it was cash or something. They run out of time and they're always in a panic to get things done. If you're always out of time, then do the sensible thing - give your time away. Does that sound crazy? Well, it might to… Continue reading

The Story of the $800 Jeans I recently watched a presentation given by a journalist (Benjamin Wallace) who had taken an extensive look at the way people shop; what they buy, why they buy, how much they spend and why some people are prepared to part with obscene amounts of money for the supposed 'top shelf' versions of every day items (jeans, wine, olive oil, beds, coffee). His talk was essentially an… Continue reading

Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could.Ralph Waldo Emerson
Sometimes we start a day with the previous day still in mind. We think about the mistakes we made in the previous day, how things went wrong, and how we felt bad about it. No wonder it becomes difficult to focus on the current day. And since we cannot fully focus on the day… Continue reading

Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world. Eleanor Roosevelt
