Marriage is Teamwork.
No matter what a husband or wife happens to be or do, MARRIAGE IS TEAMWORK.
From my experience of being married for almost twenty years now and also from learning from other peoplesâ experiences, marriage is a great example of ULTIMATE TEAMWORK.
I would go further to say that, given the high rates of divorce, marriages that last are not just because of teamwork but they have teamwork because they are a TEAM THAT WORKS.
Marriage is not about the hope of WORKING AS A TEAM, it is about two people WHO COME TOGETHER⊠& FIT ⊠like 6 fits into 9, to make â69â.
God does not give individual gifts đ to frustrate a marriage. No. God gives us unique gifts to ENHANCE the marriage. God does not lead two people into a marriage to see âsparks flyâ, pulling a husband & wife in opposite directions.
No⊠God, leads them into marriage to blend and maximise their strengths, their usefulness.
Whenever this happens in my relationship with my wife, I pray to God for his helpâŠ. To give me the strength, courage & wisdom to make good decisions.
This is where our faith in God helps us during turbulent times in the marriage. There are many forces (internal and external) that work hard to tear a marriage apart.
If you believe in your marriage & what it represents is important to you, ask for Godâs guidance and work hard to keep your marriage .
My beautiful wife of almost 20 years now. My love for this human being keeps increasing every single day.
As I see it, much of the problems & tension that occur in marriages comes from the INABILITY to BALANCE the ACT of GIVING to your spouse /other while retaining a SENSE OF SELF.
In other words, the tension comes from grasping or holding onto what we consider our INDIVIDUALITY. I believe no matter what our gifts, talents or personalities⊠when they are given To god.
With strong belief in God, he will work & blend it all out and provide balance, because that is just what God will do.
No other team that you are a part of in life – business, sport, religion, politics etc ⊠will ever be as IMPORTANT or benefit & challenge you like a successful marriage.
It takes WORK⊠a lot of real hard work. It is the complete & ULTIMATE example of TEAMWORK in life.
With God (part of the team, too).
Hereâs a few questions for you:
1. Has there been a time when you put one of your individual goals âon hold â so your spouse could pursue a dream?
White & Black Lies should be minimised in families.
Withholding Truth
Gâday & Bula & good morning/evening to YOU wherever YOU are in this beautiful planet đ!
I was thinking đ€ about life, as I usually do & the concept of âtruthâ in particular and lies as well as they seem to be two sides of the same coin.
Lying đ€„, we all do it and have done it over the course of our lives so far.
We lie to others & we lie to ourselves. I guess we could split lies up in to two main types:
1. White lies
2. Black lies.
The đalentine tribe (minus our dog 𶠖 Mr Fuzzy/Fussy cuddles. As parents we try to be as truthful to our children.
White Lies & Black Lies.
A black Lie, as I see it, could be defined as a statement we make we know is false. A white lie is a statement that we make that is not in itself false but that leaves out a significant part of the truth.
I think white lies can often be more destructive than black-lying. Think đ about it, we all do it almost every single day of our lives , as we consider white-lying more socially acceptable in many of our relationships because we âdonât want to hurt peopleâs feelings.â
Yet, people complain that their social relationships are generally superficial. Is this the right thing to teach our kids – that, as parents, part of being loving is feeding them heaps of white lies?
Is it right and truly beneficial for the children to not be told the cold truths about matters of life? Should parents continue (& I see this happening every day and have witnessed in many families over the last 3 decades of keen interest) âwhite-lying?â
So, parents tell each other everything but feed their children white lies. For example, that they fought with each other the night before about their relationship, or that their dad resents their grandparents for their manipulativeness & lack of caring over the years or that mum has a medical problem.
Rational behind white lies is – a loving desire to protect & shield their children from unnecessary worries.
This is a hard one âïž as love đ is just too large, too deep even, in my opinion, to be truly understood or measured or limited within a framework of words.
The bible tries to explain what love is but I donât think đ€ or at least I havenât come across a truly satisfactory definition of love.
I know what love is not!
Contrary to what weâve been told , love is not a feeling.(I will elaborate on what l mean another time)
I think love comes down to the desire to nurture oneâs own or anotherâs spiritual growth. And this takes discipline, lots of discipline.
Discipline that needs to be constantly disciplined.
I tell my children to NEVER be afraid to ask questions BUT more important than that is to learn HOW to Ask the RIGHT QUESTIONâŠ. &âŠ
To ⊠Question EVERYTHING.
Everything that is passed down from earlier generation (even everything me or my wife tell them) ⊠EVERYTHING they SEE ⊠HEAR⊠READâŠ.
And âŠ
Most importantlyâŠ
Ask the RIGHT questions.
I know you know this.
And they do, & theyâre getting really good at it ⊠itâs tiring BUT itâs a lot of FUN.
Be YOU.
As YOU are.
Accept the uniqueness … and weirdness that you know you are.
Embrace YOU.
Never imitate.
Are you a âstirrer?â
Are you a âstirrer?â
I am.
Ive always been what you call a stirrer. I also encourage my kids to be so, too.
Question âwhy?â, three levels deep⊠âgo deeper!â, i say, they say âwhy dad?â âŠ. I say âwhy not?â
I encourage civil disobedience in kids against anything or anyone that suppreses imagination in kids. I also support a healthy disrespect for authority (question everything) & to find FUN in everything & anything Around you.
I tell them to âFind the craziness in the common or the Marvellous in the mundane â
YOU just have to pay more attention. Become more intentional with your attention. Become a better listener. In addition to listening to what people say, work on listening to what they donât say. Most importantly, listen to what your inner voice/soul says.
You will learn much.
Keep your dreams alive .
Snd if youâre going to dream … Dream BIG.
You serve no one by being and thinking small.
Think BIG!
Learning to be Trouble-Makers.
So, my kids been taught to be and still learning to be trouble makers (within reason). Theyâre learning to be kids that ârock-the -boatâ, young people that question the âstatus quoâ; outsiders; & rabble-rousers⊠basically a little âweird.â
I believe The world đ is crying out (& has been crying out for a while now) ⊠crying out for heretics. Yep, those same people who were burned at the stake not too long ago.
I believe that the world needs YOU right nowâŠYOU, in ALL your weirdness.
Regardless of your age however, I believe IMAGINATION & finding the marvellous in the mundane is a good habit to develop.
For YOU & your journey towards happiness.
Be weird (good weird) & share the BEST YOU with those you love.
Have a great day & weekend,

Me .. & my constant companion – Mr Fuzzy/Fussy Cuddles
For some, life can feel empty if they donât find or grasp a higher calling⊠a âpurposeâ in life. These are the people who seek for answers in all kinds of places, some of which would be less than ideal.
Here is the thing about these types: They know they are looking for something, but they donât really know what it is. Almost like a headless chook.
They have lost their zest for life ⊠that essence of life, I call Vitality.
To me, purpose gives the Individual, hope ⊠the strength to continue past obstacles and unexpected changes we face every day. In some views of life, hope is all we really have.
To find Purpose, I believe one has to find it WITHIN⊠but get inspiration, EXTERNALLY, from others.
Everyone looks to better themselves & strive to live a BETTER LIFE. Most think that to do this, they need to only acquire more VALUABLES.
Stop â!
Change your viewpoint: life should not be about acquiring more Valuables, instead, should be about making yourself more VALUABLE. We are alive on this planet to primarily, GIVE or express ourselves through sharing, in some creative outlet.
Believe in love đ. Give love. Receive love. Do all thoughts & actions with love.
For me, it is GOD.
Success, like happiness, cannot me pursued. Release all desires to achieve success as a self-promoting goal/target. This route, taken by many will not give you the opportunity to live a FULL LIFE. It wonât bring you full success.
Success, true success, in any field, only comes through the pursuit of something greater than you ⊠an ideal⊠a standard that allows you to surrender to a higher power.
Lifeâs purpose does not require intense cognitive power. It is not something that you can THINK your way to discovering. Thinking leads to overthinking, which is what many in this left-brain dominated modern societies celebrate – should I try this? What if it turns to failure? Would this work? What if it does not bring income? and leads to non-action or procrastination.
From my experience, I can gracefully admit and share that there is NO âONE WAYâ ⊠THE WAY for me was not Found by simply looking for it⊠but by DOING IT⊠by LIVING what I LOVE TO DO.
We all have a light that helps us see as we journey through the paths we choose in life. My light is God. What is yours?
This Diamond called CLARITY.
Success, in life (& any pursuit in life) comes to those who face their fears and TRY NEW THINGS⊠without being glued to the end result. What you get, then, is something that is a KEY foundation stone to your building of success: CLARITY.
If is only when you take on the role of the VIKING or PIRATE đŽââ ïž in you, that you sail out to EXPLORE uncharted seas. It is through exploration that you discover this gem ⊠this diamond called CLARITY.
Results come only with repeated ACTIONS, done with sufficiency and appropriateness. Wondering and dwelling on what to do and not actually âdoingâ, pushes you even further away from reaching your ultimate purpose in life.
In finding my path, for example, I stopped watching tv many, many years ago. And as modes of communication increased, I taught myself to block more of these modes out. Just as I manage what I eat for my body for optimal physique conditions, I manage input into my brain.
Beginning with me, myself snd i snd the Holy Trinity within me : the Father, the Son & the Holy Spirit. I did and tried everything – fine-line sketching, body sculpting, writing poetry, writing books, photography, blogging, podcasting & public speakingâŠ
I even tried doing NOTHINGâŠ. Snd appreciating the emptiness of nothingâŠ. Ams trying to create SOMETHING FROM NOTHING.
I learned and discovered my TRUE PASSION and that is ⊠speaking and sharing NUGGETS OF VITALITY.
There is now CLARITY, where confusion existed. There is PURPOSE where once was WONDERING and over-thinking.
The WAY to find your purpose is NO WAY. It all comes down to energy .. to that life source ⊠to Vitality, the âessence of lifeâ. The source for this brave discovery you intend to make is from the whispering of your heart.
You will experience more joy .. snd more inspiration when you listen to and follow the guidance of your heart. Hereâs the challenge: you need to not only listen, but listen, WELL.
Energy is your fuel and you can find this energy to live ⊠to live out your dream đŽ with purpose and meaning. The next step is to explore creative and new ways of expressing and sharing this energy of creativity that comes from within.
My fridge magnet.
Have courage. Continue to fuel your courage … every single day of your life.
Embracing Passionate Living.
Iâve helped hundreds ⊠no, thousands of individuals for close to 30 years now, many of these people the top of their fields ⊠very successful in their own right.
But, I have noticed that sometimes, at the top of their success wave, some of these individuals acted and felt as if there was still something missing in their lives.
I heard many reasons why they felt that way. I strongly felt (for some of them), that they were feeling that way because they were trying to stay with the one thing they thought they were meant to be doing.
I felt that this way of thinking đ€ was a self-imposed ceiling ⊠a self-limiting belief ⊠that blocked their journey towards reaching their full potential.
I donât just consider myself – an enthusiastic World-Class Problem Solver or a 2 x World Natural Physique Champion ⊠I actually wear many hats and play many roles ⊠so apart from being a husband of 20 + Years and father to two kids âŠ. I create.
I love creating through many mediums of expression: I actually create in multi-media, I sculpt, I design, I write (blogs & poetry & books), I coach, I conduct virtual talks & seminars, I design & create my podcast, I fine-line sketch, I educate and share âcoaching conversationsâ, I dance & I do martial arts đ„, and share NUGGETS OF VITALITY ⊠but most of all âŠ
I continue to DREAM đŽâŠ and fuel my IMAGINATION. My goal is always to not only continue to imagine, but to IMAGINE, BETTER.
All of these constant daily activities brings me joy and helps express my PASSION FOR CREATING.
Hereâs a little secret to living a BETTER LIFE: consider learning to and embracing PASSIONATE LIVING. Work towards doing what you truly enjoy doing and this, I believe, will guide your path towards finding Purpose.
Sometimes, you need to simply jump in and giving things a try. Sometimes, we just need to shoot before we take aim. Sometimes, picturing yourself after having âgiving it a goââand thinking or saying our loud –
âJust DID IT!â
Would bring you an amazing sense of satisfaction. It is the DOING and the courage required & summoned that is the way to overcome the feeling that you are missing out on life.
Not a nice feeling at all.

There are endless opportunities in life and is only limited by your imagination.
And through this discovery, through this courageous Viking/Pirate adventure, you will also realise that it is a JOURNEY TO LOVE đ. It is this journey that is the process of becoming increased AWARENESS , to fully be AWARE of this flow of the essence of Life .. of this Vitality ⊠this Energy from your heart.
Hereâs my tip: BE MORE LIKE A VIKING and/or PIRATE đŽââ ïž.
This energy ⊠you wonât see it ⊠and it is not something that is tangible as what you can taste, smell, weigh âŠ
It is more something that you FEEL⊠that comes from within ⊠something INTANGIBLE.
Be awake when that message comes.
All the very best in being more like a Pirate & Viking⊠as you sail and Captain your ship through the changing seas of life.
Cheers & ahoy!

Find the Viking⊠or Pirate in you. It is there, embrace it and ⊠sail your ship towards your purpose.
Where has time gone? Ten years went by ⊠.like a blink of an eye. Memories⊠that is all we have ⊠shared memories.
We have many.
The young man and I. Cruising.
He knows he will always have a home.
He has spent his first ten years of his life, with me, his mother and his sister. Spent it in our home .. which is HIS HOME.
I like to think that his home is a place of celebration, a continuous celebration of Life. His home is the place where he can let down his hair and just be, himself. His home is where living happens and laughter rocks the walls.
Iâd like to think that his home is the place where he learns to play, to have fun, to relax, to love and ⊠to pray. Each day in our household is a celebration. Everyday, our Family prayers allows us to reflect on our life so far ⊠with GRATITUDE.
There is an abundance of laughter in his home. So loud that it carries all the way to the streets and neighbours.
Enjoying Kayaking together in Sydneyâs beautiful seas
His home is where Real Living, takes place.
He learns how to work, how to play, how to eat, how to ride in cars together, how to attend Taekwondo lessons, how to play music in bands virtually, how to watch youtubes and videos, how to host friends, how to take care of his self, how To be a better brother, how to be the loving son that he is, how to develop our own private family jokes (usually they love âroastingâ me).
In our home .. his home, we try not to take life too seriously. In our home ⊠a home of celebration we thrive in conversation and accept that humour and laughter is essential elements to our Family cohesion.
Our home ⊠his home ⊠vibrates to us and to everyone around us that âŠ
âThis is what life is all about. In a nutshell, life is what happens in our home ⊠it is where he is celebrated.â
He loves creating stuff. With all kinds of tools.
Home is where âŠ
My son ⊠has his Nintendo game, his soccer and rugby balls, his books, his swords, his toy guns, his snacks.
Home is âŠ. Being able to walk around in his undies all day ⊠home is Eating cold watermelon and tropical pineapple together at the dinner table on a winter day. Home is where he is allowed to yell ⊠to get angry ⊠and it is ok. Home is where he can play wrestle games in the bedroom and backyard and come out of it ⊠unscathed.
Home is where he gets unlimited hugs and kisses and learns about the important things in life. Home is where he learns how to agree to disagree and resolve conflicts.
Home is where he learns to be appreciated and listened to. Home is where his strong sense of self ⊠his powerful self image ⊠his confidence is built. Home is where he understands his responsibilities to contribute to the family to make it work ⊠that little things, matter.
To sum up ⊠I hope my ten year old son learns much ⊠in our home .. his home.
One day, I hope, he would look back and realise that home is where he discovered wonder and learned to not only Dream ⊠but âŠ. To Dream BIG. One day, he remembers to repeat some of ⊠OUR traditions ⊠OUR unique family qwirks ⊠our UNUSUAL ceremonies.
I hope that one day, my son looks back and views his time in his home .. our home as a period where he not only FOUND but âŠ. EXPERIENCED, JOY.

Can you see âmeâ in my son? Can you see you in your son?
The old Captain Viking Pirate & his Gritty Warrior Viking Pirate son … enjoying some ‘Father-son” experience. These moments get etched into the memory bank of great experiences. Build these up.
Come into my head as I think and type to you my thoughts … (my typing speed is very, very fast … and I don’t look at the keys on the keyboard and type with very high accuracy … anyway)
We all have our own definitions of this word and area of love. Good. I think loving your kids, means, in part, that you put them ahead of other concerns in your life (at appropriate phases of life – different for a man and a woman).
You see, what I have seen and observed (being in the gym talking to thousands of parents over the years … and actually owning a gym for 7) … what I have seen is that too many parents are caught up in getting ahead in their careers or that promotion. Or better still … buying a bigger house or playing golf every weekend or buying that expensive car.
I find that they devoted so much energy to those things that they failed to free up the time necessary to really listen to their kids and just ‘be’ with them. Not to be with them when you schedule in to make ‘quality time‘ with them in your busy diary …. no, just to be with them.
It’s no wonder kids are so angry. Their parents aren’t giving them the love and attention they deserve.
I believe if kids don’t see their parents making certain sacrifices in order to work at being good parents, or if they already tried to talk to their parents and have been shut up by them, then they aren’t going to keep trying. They’ll either seek out another adult (as substitute parents) who will listen to them or they will buy into whatever youth culture is telling them to do.
Note: donât âpalm off parental responsibility â to so-called âcoaches” in sport clinics, games clinics etc. not everyone wants to and can be a top sportsman/woman. That is a fact of life. One of the mumâs at Zacharyâs Athletics club said to me in our initial meeting that she joined her son in the athletics club to learn how to be confident. She did this because she was told that that was what the âother parentsâ were doing.
I told her that the best place to learn confidence and integrity and honesty and care and compassion is in the home. From her, the kid’s parent. Not at some substitute parental course (that was over-and above the skill level of the young coaches employed to teach sport skills ⊠not life skills. They were not qualified Life Coaches, most hadnât experienced much life yet!).
Give him the scaffolding in your son’s life to help him, help himself build & live a life of significance. With a foundation of good etiquette/manners.
You donât learn self-confidence and have a healthy self-esteem from school or taking part in sport. You learn confidence and all the intangible traits of a well-adjusted citizen in the home. In a loving home with parents making themselves available. That is where I learned my confidence from ⊠confidence large enough to be the BEST in my sport and compete against the best in the World at two World Natural Bodybuilding Championships. I didnât learn this off substitute parents. I learned it off family, very close family. I learned how to be a Champion from Champions in my family, and guidance from some very good teachers.
Parents continuously not âbeing thereâ for their children when necessary is one of the reasons the rate of sexually transmitted diseases – and the rate of teen pregnancy – is very high (and still rising).
Kids are not being loved by their parents (because parents make selfish choices & employers/organisations that donât support flexible working ideas) …. so these kids accept a cheap substitute. To these kids (to many kids and this has been happening for generations) … it’s better to accept a substitute than to face the hurt of NOT receiving love from their parents.
If you have kids … make the RIGHT choice. For them, for you … and your future relationship with them.
In the years running my gym I have helped many teenage kids (where parents have tried everything) get back on their Life-Track. I have seen “A” students end up with the wrong crowd and end up in jail. I have seen delinquent students and failing students turn their lives around and are now successful business people.
Learning and absorbing our habits every single day of their initial phase of their lives is what our young Princes do. Teach them well.
I have helped hundreds of kids, help themselves find their best /better selves. I have loved them and gave them that substitute love they never got from their parents. Simply because I cared.
I love mathematics … and I sum it up this way:
Less love and time given to your children in their young years (before 10) …. EQUALS ===> more time spent getting them out of trouble in their teenage years. There is an inverse relationship.
It costs parents more in time, money and heartache and pain in future years.
Don’t make the mistake many (previous generations made). There is Power in Two (your partner/wife/husband) and work together to manage the all-important time and love to your growing children.
It will be one of the best and most important investment decisions you will ever make in your life (more than that promotion or that business deal or )…. just like making time to ‘work/train’ your muscles … not just for now … but for your future/old age.
All the very best in your decision
Yours always, in iron and muscles,
Cheers & Ahoy!!
The old Captain Viking Pirate … and loving kids … and making the Right decision
A ‘sick day’ from school day for us here, 4 years ago now. Enjoying the entertainment at Sydney’s beautiful Luna Park. I never let schooling interfere with my or my family’s education.
Building a good foundation for your childrens’ character is like building good lean quality muscle. It takes time and patience. Lots of patience but laser-like focus. Proper exercise techniques and application of relevant principles , compounded over time results in the goal you visualise. An morally-upright, free-thinking citizen of the world putting his/her hand up to lead if necessary. As parents, be the best teacher you can be.
Me in my cowboy hat & enjoying a beer (still training my ‘guns’ … drinking my beer)
Me and my children – carriers of my genes. A taste of immortality for me.
My children are learning about life at a very high rate. Thereâs not one day that passes that I donât hear them say or try something new. I am constantly surprised and fascinated about the next thing I will hear come out of their mouths. I am also increasingly aware of them âgrowing upâ.
They are still to learn a lot of things about life and they will learn as time passes. One of the things they still have to learn are the little rhetorical phrases that Cathy and I say every now and then. One that I tend to use a lot is âits in your genesâ or something related to the term âgenesâ when we are seated around the table having a meal or just hanging out at home.
Each time I say it, my daughter Olivia would quickly respond (with a questioning look on her face) â âdad, Iâm not wearing Jeans!â
Cathy and I would look at each other, doing our best not to break out in laughter. The certainty of her look with regards to her not wearing jeans and mocking my rather dumb statement (based on her facial expression) is priceless.
I have made various versions of that particular statement regarding âgenesâ and each time Olivia would be the first one to correct me. My wife and I havenât yet been caught laughing but Iâm certain one day soon, we will.
Itâs so cute, the âblack and whiteâ view children have of the world at this age, which includes their progressive understanding of the English language and all itâs idiosyncrasies. I am looking forward to explaining to her and Zachary what I meant about the word âgenesâ because at this present time, they only knows the word as âjeansâ.
Iâm looking forward to explaining the many ânewâ things they will learn about life as they mature, through each phase of life. One of my roles as a parent (and every parentâs role) as I see it is to do my utmost to prepare my children for adulthood. It does not stop there, being a parent continues until the day I die.
Winning the NSW titles – one of the 3 times I won it. My signature winning pose at that time.
Over the weekend, my wife and I were getting our children ready for bed and my son, Zachary was being quite disruptive and being difficult. After repeated requests, I blurted out –
âZachary, pay attention, youâve got to start pulling up yours socks son, youâre a year older now!â
Just then, I got reminded by Olivia that â
âDad, Zach is not wearing socks to bed tonight, itâs too hot!â. She had that â âdad, youâre sillyâ look on her face again.
I expect that I will be seeing that face many more times in to the future, probably will expect to see quite a lot in her teenage years. I am looking forward to hearing her cute reminders to a silly dad.
This is one of the many âlittle daily miraclesâ all of us who are lucky to be parents get to experience. Having children is truly a blessing, many times over.
I thank God and my beautiful wife Cathy, that I am able to pass on my genes on to the next generation â my children. I am sure she is appreciative too of the opportunity of passing on her genes to our children.
After all, the overall purpose of life is to procreate. To live on indefinitely or at least one more generation through your off-springs. It is surely an âoff-setâ of our own mortality.
It gives us mortals â hope. A taste of immortality, even if most of it will be experienced through our imagination. Hope, however, is a beautiful thing and the very essence of it, of the belief summoned for it, allows some people the courage to continue to live.
Appropriate outfit given the Rugby World Cup currently under-way in England, Me and my two Australian Valentines. My 2 favourite teams are Fiji and Australia. As Fiji has not progressed to the quarter finals, Go the Australian Wallabies!
So, live. Love. Laugh. Hope. Live on through genes.
Reflect on YOU, your uniqueness. On your unique genes that has been passed on to you, that makes up who you are. Your blueprint. Ask yourself, have you allowed YOU â to be the BEST YOU CAN BE? Have you worked on your genetic strengths? Have you or are you working towards your potential? For example, would you say you âstrongly agreeâ to the statement –
âAt work, I have the opportunity to do what I do best, every dayâ.
If not, why not?
If you answered âstrongly disagreeâ or âdisagreeâ, the costs to you and your life could be staggering. There seems to be an epidemic of disengagement at work of a majority of people simply because they are not working to their strengths and not emotionally engaged on their job.
A lot of unhappy, unmotivated people.
This impacts greatly on the overall quality of your life. So, work towards your strengths â your genes and try to align your job and your goals with your natural talents. Itâs never too late. Just ACT and build a strengths-based development plan for a better you. A better life.
The impetus for this, for any worthwhile change in life is DESIRE. Youâve got to desire the BEST YOU to step forward. Youâve got to fuel the desire, the hunger to be the BEST YOU CAN BE, using your God-given talents. The strength in your genes, that has been passed down to you from your ascendents.
Ask yourself – have these strengths, these talents laid dormant for a number of years? Time for a change. A change for your good, for the good of your life and those around you.
Be courageous â take action.
Food for thought.
This is my genes for jeans story.
If youâve got this far, thank you. I hope you enjoyed the story-telling and found some value in it that you could use in your life. I wish you all the very best in your search for your best, now and in to the future.
Until next time,
Here we are … my beautiful wife and I. at a dinner party.
A semi-posing shot. Enjoying the sun and day out at my favourite beach here in Sydney , Australia.
Changing lives. Empowering people. One life at a time.
