I’m Terrified
Scariest thing in my life? Turning into my father. I’m not even a dad yet and I open my mouth and out comes my dad’s words. What happened to ME??! He’s a great man, really a great dad, and as a young fella I idolised him. Your kids?

Feeling Masochistic? You’re Doing It Wrong
One of the things that seems to happen in this self-improvement lark, A lark that begins when you realise you want to bring the best version of yourself to life more often (perhaps even ALL the time) – Is harshness and being so serious. There is this idea that growing involves hardship and at least

Defeating The Beast That Is Your Inner Child
Sometimes people ask me, ‘What IS the point?’ Not the metaphysical, “what is the point of life?” But what’s the point in meditating? Perhaps they’ve given it a quick go and aren’t really sure why or what they’re doing. For the sake of explanation, assume you have an inner two year old (with all the

There’s Nothing To Say
I’m back home after what seemed like a marathon mission of sociability. We went the length of the country and witnessed weddings, popped in for long cups of tea, ate dinners, drank too much wine. It is the season, is it not? Not that long ago the thought of all that socialising would have sent

Being selfish is the only way forward
When I was younger I could work all day at a physically and mentally tiring job (outdoor instructor). I would finish, swoop home and grab something to eat, and then go out kayaking again for another 3 to 4 hours. I’d come home, eat some more (there’s a common theme in my life), shower, crash

The biggest problem most people have
The biggest problem most people have is not that they don’t have enough, it is that they take for granted what they do have. When you take something for granted you ignore and forget what is already there. You have huge blindspots to the very very good things that are already there. Sometimes it takes
