I believe in humanity. Yes, we are currently acting out some of the darkest aspects of our being. Some of it is ugly. Some is diabolical. Some is loathsome. Much of it discouraging. Yet, I still believe in humanity.

Any which way you look, wars are being waged. Whether the battles are happening on the ground or in the political arena, violence continues to be used as a tool to dominate and oppres...

We are all keenly aware of the upheaval that is rippling throughout our current world state. While a new paradigm has been gestating beneath the surface of our conscious awareness for a long while, the physical reality of what is being transformed just started to become more obvious during the pandemic. It is a catalytic time of change for us as a humanity and the ongoing metamorphosis will only c...

Each of us sees the world through our own unique perspective, which has been shaped by who we are and what we’ve lived. Not only is it not possible for everyone to have the same views, it is also not desirable. It is the diversity of our individuality that seeds each flower in the bountiful garden of humanity that constitutes our planet.

As we move through life, from the wide array of thought ava...

Given the current state of world affairs, I think it’s an important reminder right now about how critical it is, first, to have a clear vision, and, second, to actually be living it. Your vision not only affects your life, it impacts all of humanity.

Imagine the world you want to live in

By my simple definition, a vision is “an image of the world you want to live in”. Currently, our world is at ...

Right off the top, I want to be clear. In general, I do not use the word “work” derogatorily. My view is that there is no distinction between the concepts of “work” and “inspired work”. When what we do in the world is aligned with who we are within, then I perceive them to be the same. However, for the sake of making my point in this post, I will use the individual word “work” here in the disparag...

Your existence serves a very valuable purpose at this tumultuous time on our planet. If you have been wondering how you can make an impact given the rapidly changing economic landscape, then I encourage you to consider the following reasons as to why you would want to discover, create, and live your inspired work.

1. It provides fulfillment, meaning, and satisfaction in your day-to-day life.

Thi...

When people first reach out to me, they often report feeling “lost” or “stuck at a crossroads” in their journey. They know they can no longer continue with the work they’ve been doing, but they’re not quite sure where to go next. They will ask me, “Where do I even begin?”

My answer is always the same, “You begin with your beliefs.”

No matter who I work with and in what capacity, my first questio...

Stagnation is my personal kryptonite. If you have ever been witness to me getting stuck, whether it’s in the outer world standing on a mountain ledge or if it’s within my own inner being trapped in a cycle of old patterns, you will also likely have seen me have a tragic meltdown. Everything in how I show up as a human is related to making forward movement. So when I get stuck, I’m blocking the nat...

I get bored easily. The thought of reading a book I’ve already read or watching a movie I’ve already seen is off-putting to me. It means I’ve missed out on the opportunity to have a new experience. I don’t even like cooking the same meal twice.

This is because one of my core values is adventure. I am internally driven to have new experiences. It doesn’t even matter if the experience is so-called ...

Back in the days when I was still seeking clarity about the direction of my own work, I remember that frustrating feeling of fog in the brain. No matter which direction I looked, the path ahead seemed obscured. I couldn’t tell which path was the right path. I couldn’t tell if any path was the right path. I felt lost. So, I just stayed where I was. But that only resulted in me getting more and more...

“I miss that part of myself,” I said to my then business client. My words hung awkwardly in the air, as if I had spoken a truth I wasn’t supposed to say. I’m sure my client wasn’t interested in hearing what I didn’t like about my work, but to me, my admission was like a siren piercing the silence of my own apathy. I couldn’t unhear my own words. It left me wondering what others parts of myself I w...

Decades after his burial, I stood at my dad’s grave reading the words etched into the simple gravestone: Service to others before self. I thought, “Yeah, and we buried him in the ground way before what should have been his time.”

My dad died from a brain tumour at the untimely age of 46. Although it was complications from cancer that ended his life, I contend he had lost his will to live long bef...
