I think my trip to Ikea I told you all about yesterday must have taxed me to the limit of my endurance. I woke this morning with a sore throat. Now I don’t like being sick, but what can you do? Moan and whine a bit? Man flu can do that to a man. But […]
I went to Ikea for the first time yesterday. Somehow I have avoided it for so long, but what a joy it was! Like a kid in a sweet shop I “helped” my fiancee design a kitchen, picking bench tops and doors and handles and soft closures and colours and textures and oh, I do

When I started meditation I wanted my past to go away. I haven’t had a bad life in comparison to many, but that doesn’t matter. When it’s you and your mind, comparison to others is useless. When the mind bites, it bites.

Yesterday I wrote about being honest and clear about the areas of life where you “suck” at. My idea is that it’s good to know what you aren’t so good at so you can get better at it. A reader wrote and pointed out that for many people that’s all they get from their heads

The best thing you can do for yourself is to take an honest evaluation of where you are at. Everyone has at least one area where they’re not fully firing. Where they’re not very good at. There are places (to be brutal) in your life where you down right suck at. Take some time and
