There is a place that you can only find if you are lost or not looking for it. The solitary highway that dominates the upper end of the North Island of New Zealand, slices through the narrow strip of land like a deep gash. You need to be driving at sundown as we were, theContinue reading “There is a place.”

Don’t Take It Personally
It’s not you, but it also might be you. It’s really hard to take mental control of a negative situation, and understand your own innocence. As humans, even more especially in the modern era, we have massive egos. It feels as though the world revolves around us and only us. And with targeted ads, consumerContinue reading “Don’t Take It Personally”
You Have Time
Growing up, I was always extremely wary of time and deadlines. I would drag my mother to my dance class half an hour or sometimes even 45 minutes early every lesson. Becoming so hysterical if we didn’t leave the house at the time I had decided was appropriate, that my poor mother eventually would justContinue reading “You Have Time”
Why You Should Ritualise Your Life
Ritualise and romanticise the tiny small moments in your life. Every Friday, I switch out my usual morning peppermint tea for a full cream chai latte. It’s the smallest change, but this little ritual makes my Friday something I really start to look forward to. Which in turn makes the weekend feel longer and myContinue reading “Why You Should Ritualise Your Life”
Why You Should Write
The feeling rises within you on every breath you take. Your shoulders hunch and tense forming a quickly permanent knot at the top of your spine. You fidget. Your hands dancing across every surface, twitching and shaking. Every mistake you make resonates. Your self perceived failure echo’s around your mind, overpowering every other thought youContinue reading “Why You Should Write”
Don’t Just Tick Boxes
You will not be happy once you’ve ticked all the boxes. Because that is not what life is about. I thought it was. I wrote down everything that I thought would make me happy: Get up early. Go to sleep earlier. Work out / Train for strength and mobility. Start my own business. This wasContinue reading “Don’t Just Tick Boxes”
How to Stop Destroying Masculinity
When I was a child, I would dress up as Maid Marian and wander around the garden at the bottom of our backyard, waiting for Robin Hood to come for me. Girls are being raised to believe that they no longer need Robin Hood, or Prince Charming or their special knight in shining armour. ButContinue reading “How to Stop Destroying Masculinity”
Your Suffering
This is the world we love. Our world is created from terror and turmoil and we found the beauty in it all. Our suffering becomes addictive, a game we enjoy playing. Humans desire conflict. We thrive on it. When you’re having a bad day at work remember that during the very high flow the RiverContinue reading “Your Suffering”
Un Trap Yourself
My nine to five starts at 8AM. From 5AM when I wake up to then, I have free reign over what I do, how I do it and when I do it. But recently, all this freedom has become a trap. Every morning, I wake up, roll over, get out of bed, have a quickContinue reading “Un Trap Yourself”
One Percent Better
Scaling is hard. I’ve gone from a having one little side hustle, that was really just helping out an old work friend. To now having two offical clients whom I dedicate time to from 6AM to 8AM, five days a week. Thats the equivalent of the shitty waitressing job you got straight out of college.Continue reading “One Percent Better”
