It’s easy to play life on the back foot

Always playing defense.

Always waiting

Always passive

Always reactive.

Waiting for circumstance, or someone or something to make a decision for you. 

But sometimes the best defense, is offense.

In getting on the front foot

In making the first move and in leading the dance.

Setting the pace instead of waiting around for someone to set it for you.

To lead, instead of follow

To take the initiative 

To stay ahead of the game and let others do the catching up.

Sometimes it’s best to take it to life, instead of allowing life to take it to you. 

Because if you’re sitting around waiting for something to happen

For someone to come in and save you,

It’s about time you realize, that you are that someone. 

So go and get at it.

  • The Decision of No Decision

    It’s pointless, because history will always be confined to history. Instead it may be time to look yourself in the mirror, at the risk of not liking what you see. Because getting it right, means being honest with yourself. It comes with the brutality of having to confront your own demons, And being able and willing to take the hits. So take your second chance. Don’t look back in anger, maintain the hope And be determined to do things a little different.

    There’s a great symphony in sadness A million things conspiring beautifully together to set a sombre tone. It’s a tragedy, no doubt.  Irrational at times, often transcending words or reason....
  • Communication Is Not a One Way Street
    Communication is not a one way street. It’s not about talking, it’s about listening. It’s not about reacting, it’s about responding. It’s not about knowing, It’s about understanding. It’s not about judgement or pretense It’s about connection.
  • Leaving It All Behind
    Some things are certainly worth holding onto -  Others we just hold onto because we are too afraid to say goodbye.  Not because we can’t But because doing so means facing our own mortality
