“Always keep your word…” – is the advice I would give on my deathbed.

Because your word is your bond and it goes to the heart of your integrity

It establishes your credibility

It says something about you,

And whether you can be trusted and relied upon.

Because if you lose your credibility, you essentially have nothing left.

It’s not only about knowing that others can rely on you; 

it also goes to the heart of whether you can rely on yourself.

Whether you can deliver on your promise

Whether you can look yourself in the mirror and respect what you see

And if you’re content with lying to yourself and others

Content on selling yourself and others short

Then don’t be disappointed, when one day, your facade comes tumbling down

And others sell you a little short too.

This is a sure way to break a bond, assuming one even existed in the first place.

  • The Decision of No Decision

  • Taking Your Second Chance
    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.

  • 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
