Waiting on Blue Sky
Matthieu Ricard, Buddhist monk, photographer and author was asked how he dealt with jet lag by author Pico Iyer. For me a flight is just a brief retreat in the sky. There’s nothing I can do, so it’s really quite liberating. There’s nowhere else I can be. So I just sit and watch the clouds…

When Fear Dissolved in the Midst of Turbulence
I would never say that I’m afraid of flying but I don’t like turbulence. Who does? As I sat in the airport this morning, awaiting the arrival of my flight, rain started to fall. By the time I ascended the plane stairs, the winds were blowing fiercely. I heard the flight attendant say something like…

Developing a Model that Works for You
It’s Carnival time again here in Trinidad and Tobag!. Lot’s of liming, plenty feteing, eating and drinking – at least for those of us on the receiving end of the music and the food! 🙂 For the artists, performers and musicians it’s a narrow window within which they need to make the most money that…

Living on Purpose
This morning I woke up to the news of Marcia Henville’s untimely death. I didn’t know Marcia personally yet I felt as if I knew her. She influenced so many in a positive way. She spoke her mind, was true to her cause and didn’t seem to give a damn about what others thought about…

What Motivates You?
I love peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Growing up my mom made bread. I loved the bread. I didn’t like the crust. I saw my friends bring their sandwiches to school crust-less. Not in my home. You HAD to eat the crust. So I devised a method of eating the crust first…all the way around…

When Momentum Wanes…
Enthusiasm will take you only so far… Will power evaporates quickly… Enter Physics 101: Newton’s First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion at a constant velocity will remain in motion in a straight line unless acted…

Are You Ready to Up Your Game?
Panos Mourdoukoutas, business and investment strategist and a regular contributor to Forbes Magazine, was addressing the subject of retirement (although I think that this piece of advice is not applicable to only retirees) and the one precious asset that was missing from one’s investment portfolio. The asset he was referring to was a non-financial asset…that…

A Face to Face Visit With Confidence
Many years ago, I visited my optometrist to have my glasses adjusted. The woman who usually helped me was attending to another customer. Reluctantly I shared my reason for being there with an obviously new employee. The way she took my spectacles from me, made me uneasy but I chalked that up to me not…

When You Feel As if There’s Nothing Left…There’s More
I’m beginning to understand what I have heard countless wise individuals share in articles and talks…that you should never wait on inspiration or motivation…that you should just begin. I wrote a couple days ago about the ten minute hack which you can read here but he was talking about at the start of the day, when…

Spending Time With Friends
It’s great to spend time with friends. Had a couple people over today and it was fabulous. Connecting with others is so important but sometime we forget. We get caught up in our world, in the “what needs to be done”… Friends support.. Friend help out. Friends guide. Friends remain after everyone walks away. Friends…
Clarity BEFORE Execution. Structure BEFORE Speed
When the stakes are high, DON’T MOVE without CLARITY
You don’t need to move faster.
You need to reduce unnecessary risk.
When your decision affects income, reputation, or stability,
pause with structure before you act.
