The way we live today affects the lives of our children tomorrow. The values we hold will either make life easier or more difficult for those that follow in our footsteps. Sure, some characteristics are genetic but in general the decisions we make and the battles we win or lose now will impact the qualityContinue reading “Do it for your kids”

Where is wisdom?
When it comes to making decisions in life most of us take the easiest way out. It is easier to be swayed by popular opinion, easier to be influenced by advertising and easier to be persuaded by family or friends, politicians or pastors. Easier than what? Easier than working it out for ourselves. Easier thanContinue reading “Where is wisdom?”
What’s your soundtrack?
The soundtrack of our life forms, reinforces and communicates our values. The music playlist we listen to engrains, embeds and encourages attitudes, habits and opinions. Why is that? There is something special about music and song that touches the soul. Perhaps it is because they originate from the heart and are formulated in the mind,Continue reading “What’s your soundtrack?”
Where is your trust?
There are many things that we try and build our lives on. For some it is popularity, others it is wealth, for others it might be family or friends. You might pursue education or sport or a better job to give you a sense of stability, purpose and security. None of these things come withContinue reading “Where is your trust?”
Conform or transform
As much as we would like to think that we are unique, we are actually a product of our surroundings. Our culture, experience, family and friends shape how we think and what we do.

Why are you working?
Eastern and Asian cultures have a strong history of promoting provision for family rather than saving for self. I have personally witnessed fellow workers sending a good portion of their hard earned income back to their home country to support those that they love and care for. They live simply and scantily so that theyContinue reading “Why are you working?”
Belief and faith
Belief and faith are different although you will have heard them often used interchangeably. Belief is knowing but faith is following. Belief is understanding but faith is demanding. Belief can generate respect but faith learns to expect. Belief may require proof but faith requires trust. In their search for God I think many people comeContinue reading “Belief and faith”
No exceptions
Our email inboxes, Facebook feeds and advertisers everywhere we look are offering us great deals. The headlines are attractive and get our attention with stunning pictures and unbelievable discounts. Look a little closer and there will generally be the fine print where the terms and conditions describe exclusions, exceptions and expiry dates. Our hopes riseContinue reading “No exceptions”
Created for good
I have read that humans are the only species on this earth that ask themselves ‘Why are we here?’ It is this question that leads to endeavours great and small. It is what drives people to invent, strive for more, to read, to learn, to grow and to become better. The question can, however, alsoContinue reading “Created for good”
Dont give up on good
Doing the right thing can seem a lot harder than doing the wrong thing. Doing good things can be hard work with what seems to be very little reward, recognition or results. Many times it even costs or hurts us to do what we know is right. It is far easier to go with theContinue reading “Dont give up on good”
