Share Height-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 [...]
Exploring Potential
Share The 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 [...]
Share Why We’re All Here At least once a week I find myself having a version of the ‘life purpose’ conversation. I never initiate it but I seem to have it often. Why am I here? What’s my purpose? What am I meant to do? Where am I going? How do I know if I’m on [...]
Share Many 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. [...]
Share Our 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 [...]
Share Can 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 [...]
Share Less Precious, More Practical Before anyone gets offended and writes me a nasty email regarding the title of this post, don’t bother. The above statement is not an opinion, insult or theory but rather, a statistically accurate reflection of what actually happens in the real world – the one away from the feel-good motivational [...]
Share A Story About Stories In my presentations, I often choose to teach principles and explain transformational concepts using stories – as opposed to wheeling out some boring old facts, figures and data. While people tend to forget bland information and theories (and therefore fail to take action or gain any benefit), they are far [...]
Share Wheel Spinning Do you ever feel like you’re busily achieving not much at all? Like your results are not really a reflection of your effort? Like there’s some kind of imbalance? Like your wheels are spinning but you’re getting no traction? Do you often feel frustrated, overwhelmed or exhausted? Maybe all three? Welcome to the [...]
Share What I Don’t Know To be honest, I don’t know much. About most things. I know a lot about a few things and very little about the rest. Sure, I’m good at sounding clever (sometimes) and I can write okay, but when you dig a little you’ll discover that, what I’m really good at, [...]
