Sometimes we have the best ideas, which we know will be fantastic for our careers and lives. Then the roadblocks are massive. What do you do?

Last night, the 1st of Jan 2025, I had a grand idea to record a 14 minute video and post it on YouTube and do one of these a day. Just me talking into the ca...

It can be easy to rush towards one goal if you're obsessed with it. Have you considered the cost though?

If you rush at something from morning to night, you’re likely going to end up doing well in that field quicker than most. This works across all industries.

If you want to do it with balance how...

On 7th November 2024 (incidentally my brother's birth date), 2 weeks after my birthday on the 24th of October, the same day Frodo wakes up in the House of Elrond LOL (that's a Lord of the Rings reference, for those of you who aren't humans into fantasy and mystical stories), I just... collapsed. ...

This article is probably not going to be what you thought it would be. Get ready for a wake up call.

When you start living as a Three Part Human (a name I chanelled for group classes in 2019) in mind, body and spirit, especially spirit, you connect with this Universe. When you connect with this U...

While there is a place and time to implement complex strategies, I find that sometimes with humans, the simplest things are the most effective. This also extends into relationships.

Here's a simple thing that my wife and I did plenty in 2020 during that big thing that was spread throughout the Earth ...

Relationships can be the most complicated things you will ever encounter, and also some of the most blissful.

Whether things are chugging along smoothly for you, or things are sour, I've come to realise that you can always keep improving things and making them better. Either you're into never-en...

Many people think that just because you're pointing out unpleasant things daily, means you're "negative", a "complainer" or a "drama queen".

As someone who myself thought that about others in the past, may I share...

That is 100% INACCURATE about some people. 

Yes, there are some people who're st...

It's spreading widely on the internet that we ruined excellence by handing out participation trophies. I'd like to one up that. 

It’s not just that participation trophies are rubbish. It’s that all trophies are rubbish.

If you are actually enjoying what you are doing in an activity and it’s meaningf...

I was watching a video on YouTube of a speaker once, it was one of those deep-voiced African speakers with a really sexy voice. I could be wrong but I believe it was Eric Thomas.

He said, "The first 30 are for learning, and the next 30 for earning."

Well, that one probably flew right by me, as I'm 36 ...

One of the best long-term cures I’ve found for my own depression (and maybe it can help you too), is consistent exercise. 

Another is sleeping well without disturbances.

A third is doing what you love for at least half the day.

A fourth is having a friend who you can tell ANYTHING to without any ...

 In Episode 2 of The Zephyr Show, I interviewed Meherwan Patel, a student at Yale-NUS College, Singapore.

He's currently (2024) pursuing his B.A. (Hons) Philosophy & graduating soon. In this chat we spoke about everything from Spirituality to Human-Centered Design. Meherwan & I both grew up as ...
