ShareClarity “Sometimes, it’s a good idea to figure out what you don’t want and work back from there.” Clarity is often a hard thing to find. We know we want a great life but what, exactly, does that mean? We know we want to be successful but we don’t always know what that success might [...]

ShareA Living Computer Did you know that your body is a living, breathing organic computer that can easily be reprogrammed to operate differently? More efficiently and effectively? To do different things and produce different results? To run new programs? For some of us, it’s time to reboot. Sugar Addiction I remember when I switched from [...]
ShareFree Stuff So, now we know how to get a bazillion comments on a post; give some shit away. To that end, could the following people send Johnnie an email with your postal details and he will send you a signed copy of my book for being clever: Brenda, Mark, Bob, Lisa, Joy. Here are my [...]
ShareConventional Us Conventional wisdom indicates that I’m not very wise. Conventional thinking suggests that my thinking is unconventional. Conventional education would be great if all kids thought the same, learned the same and were the same. Conventional relationships would be really successful if only they didn’t fail so often. Conventional religions teach love and tolerance [...]
ShareHeight-Weight Charts My current weight is 88kgs (195lbs). My current body-fat percentage is ten (low). According to every (scientifically-calculated) height-weight chart I can find, I’m over-weight. And not a little bit, a lot. The recommended weight range for my height is 63-79kgs (139-174lbs). Wow. Science tells me that I need to lose ten kilos (or [...]
ShareThe Pretender Put up your hand if you ever feel like a fraud. A fake? A phoney? A pretender? Me too. Even in the middle of some (relative) success, I have often felt not ‘something’ enough. Not smart enough. Qualified enough. Experienced enough. Lean enough. Young enough. Old enough. Funny enough. Academic enough. In short; [...]

ShareMany will complain about their genetics. A few will maximise them. Many will buy a gym membership. A few will use it. Many will know what to do. A few will do it. Many will find the problem. A few will find the lesson. Many will talk about change. A few will be the change. Many [...]
ShareOur Need to Belong It’s Sunday night here in Melbourne and I have just finished watching Jesus on TV. Well, an Australian bloke who claims he’s Jesus, anyway. How cool; a messiah who says ‘fairdinkum’. I bet the marketing people could have a field day with those two ingredients: 1. Aussie 2. Messiah. Church in [...]
ShareCan and Can’t In life, there’s stuff we can change and stuff we can’t change. We can’t change our history. We can’t change our age. We can’t change our genetics. We can’t change other people. We can’t change the weather. We can’t change the number of hours in a day. Interestingly, many of us have [...]
