Let me start off by saying I do not actually enjoy running, I don’t enjoy the physicality of it and it’s absolutely not my favourite form of exercise or sport.

“Hold on, hold on mate, wait a minute, is this guy for real?”

“What is this guy on about? The title of the post insinuates running made a positive change in his life but he’s started off by saying he dislikes it? What type of Jedi mind trick is this?”

I know, paradoxical right? But bear with me for a second….‘let me land’ as the kids like to say. …

Achieving discipline in areas of our lives is an arduous journey to embark on, much less master. We all have it in us to be disciplined, so why then, is it so many of us lack the staying power to stick at something worthwhile? I have been on a thousand journeys to lose weight, start that business idea, spend more time being productive and post an article a week on Medium, but I too fall short at the first hurdle and subsequently give up.

Understanding the key areas to aid you in cultivating discipline is vital to your journey of…

2020 was an absolute shocker, a year to never forget to say the least. Who would have thought it would go down like that? I mean, nobody could have predicted that apart from the conspiracy theorists but even they had their socks blown off with that one!

I remember the ending of 2019 with everyone and their dog, stating 2020 would be their year and a monumental one at that. But Mother Nature has her way of showing you who’s the boss and I guess she was exhausted with us taking her for granted and simply shut up shop. …

The way of the Warrior is the path to discipline, restraint, focus and honour. The path is governed by morals and codes which allow those who walk it to live a life of wellness.

I’ve recently taken an interest in philosophy and wisdom from the likes of Stoicism, Buddhism, Sun Tzu, Miyamoto Musashi, Ryan Holiday and Robert Greene to name a few. These ancient wisdom's and teachings have allowed me to view the world differently and accept Dokkōdō.

Those who walk alone accept the way of the Warrior, the resolute acceptance of death. …

When we’re laughing, nothing else matters, all of our worries and problems seem to disappear like a balloon in the sky. It’s like laughter brings forth forgetfulness amongst other good qualities. So why is it we don’t laugh more often?

When I’m laughing, I’m not thinking about yesterday's problems or tomorrow's fears, they just don’t exist. When I’m laughing I’m living in the present moment, especially when I am having a right old belly laugh. If you know me you know I have a very humorous, infectious, and loud laugh that instantly makes those around me laugh too.

Laughter is…

We’ve all been there, that moment when you’re in a heated debate with a friend, work colleague, business partner or significant other. You’re trying to get your points across in the best way possible, providing facts to back up your statements but the other party just doesn’t seem to get it or even have the slightest interest in wanting to understand you. This can be very frustrating and often leads to difficult confrontations and anger-driven arguments.

It takes emotional maturity to own your anger and understand, you’re entitled to feel angry instead of taking out your anger on others. Sometimes…

The Pixel 5 was Google’s major release in October of 2020. The highly anticipated phone came and went. It was a minor drop in the phone market. It gathered decent reviews, average specs but no real USP to stand out from the giants (Apple & Samsung). All considered I am by no means saying the Pixel 5 was a bad phone. Far from it, it just wasn’t a phone people wanted.

I don’t know anyone who went out and purchased a Google Pixel 5 and this is not good, especially when Google’s Android OS retained its position as the leading…

You may often hear the terminologies EQ and IQ thrown around a lot, especially IQ as some deem it, the more advantageous one to have for success in life. I personally adhere to the saying “A high IQ will get you through school but a high EQ will get you through life.” The age-old debate between the two has been ongoing for some time, so which is it? Which is the more advantageous to have and why? well, my answer is EQ and I will illustrate why in this article.

Surely self-mastery over our response to emotions is a goal…
