Yesterday Rie reminded me of a movie we had watched together, pay it forward. We decided to watch it again because the concept is not only good but it is also real.

Sorting the good feedback from the bad
I am forever telling people, in all walks of life from managers to housewives, to seek feedback from others and to use this information to develop who you want to be. You see my image of me is as biased as your image of me and it could be that you see me more clearly… Continue reading Sorting the good feedback from the bad
A Two Week Experiment in Happiness
What does it take to make you happy? I have been away from the world for my ten day silent meditation retreat. That for me created a wonderful sense of happiness and joy, quite euphoric really. The silence of ten days begins with apprehension, moves to fascinated interest, and then the real work begins as… Continue reading A Two Week Experiment in Happiness

Why Meditate? Part 2 – Stress
Are You Stressed? Stress is a modern buzz word and although stress is real people often use the word to mean that they are busy, perhaps even very busy. It is rather like when people describe a common cold as ‘the flu’. But, it is true that stress is real and the more that we… Continue reading Why Meditate? Part 2 – Stress
Why Meditate? Part 1 – Silence
My wife, Rie, recently completed ten days of silence on a Vipassana meditation retreat. Upon her return she was met with a variety of responses. There were those that saw her as a hero who had survived some great ordeal, those that saw her as an idiot and were in total disbelief as to why… Continue reading Why Meditate? Part 1 – Silence
