It happens all the time. Someone does something that we don’t like. For example, “What a jerk, (s)he’s such a control freaks. They think they know it all.” Have we ever stopped to think about why though? In my post a couple of days ago  I spoke about the Circle of You and how our beliefs dictate our actions. Have we ever stopped to think that maybe that person lost they’re parents at an early age and had to fend for themselves creating the...

In Toronto we’ve been experiencing some incredible weather. I still can’t believe I was sweating this past week. It’s only March! It seems however, that we aren’t the only ones enjoying the weather. This picture is in front of my parent’s house where spring flowers have taken bloom. They decided to come out and get a dose of sunshine. Here’s the thing.. 2 people today told me that with the temperature going into the negative (around -10...

I’m 26 years old. Have no savings, no steady income, and as Rudy’s dad would say “am chasing a stupid dream.” My jacket’s ripped and I can’t afford to get it fixed. I eat a lot of beef patties and frozen dinners to make it through my meals. I run around the city meeting people for coffees. I spend a lot of time on Facebook. I have no fancy car, just a shiny metropass, and live in a small apartment in up-town Toronto that seems to attract...

Looking back at my past few posts I realize they are quite “engineer-esque.” I have a highly analytical mind and tend to process things in terms of frameworks and formulas. My creativity tends to come out when I have a structure to work within. At the same time I understand this makes it very easy for these posts to be misinterpreted so I just want to address some of those potential misinterpretations… 1) I’m not trying to invalidate feelings It may...

Alright here we go. A bit nervous about this post because I want to make it as valuable as possible and as simple to understand… and well… it’s a pretty mind-cramping concept. Gonna take a shot anyways… Here’s a look at 5 elements that define how much of an impact we have in our lives… TALENT Talent is this innate gift we’ve all been given. Again to not sound all wishy-washy with the lingo, I’d say it’s the beginnings...

Dan
Dear friends, I would like to share a story with you. It’s a long one, but meaningful to say the least. It’s from a good friend of mine in Ghana who I believe is going to be a great leader in the country. He is at a point where he needs support in making it through his education, and I am at a point where I am unable to support him from a financial perspective. I wanted to put this post out there in case anyone is interested in helping me support Daniel...

Momentum
One of the biggest struggles in my life has been maintaining momentum. I’m sure you can all relate: You get all excited about an opportunity and then get hit by a challenge that completely throws you off cloud 9. I’ve always wondered to myself how to keep momentum going consistently. To be on the top of my game even when those challenges appear. Well I’ll tell you one thing, there is no one sure-shooting answer that will work for everyone. All of us have...

In my last post I expressed the importance of wisely choosing who you’re being. Often I get the argument, “I am who I am … you can’t change me!” … makes sense, I can see why they initially think that. What they tend to miss is this isn’t about changing you… it’s about aligning who you’re being with who you are. Who you are will never change. It is the core values you live by. Sure at certain times, certain values may take priority, but...

CuriousYou
Who can forget Curious George, one of the most lovable cartoons on this planet. But let me ask you this, how often do we take his curious nature to heart? Think about it… we’re often curious about who’s dating who, or when celebrities get in trouble, or when we drive by a bunch of flashing cop cars and we slow down to see what happens. However, how curious are we when someone ‘stands us up’? Or when someone insults you? Or when you’re yelled at by your...
