#metoo
#metoo has been all over my Facebook feed this week and I thought long and hard about jumping in and joining the rush.
Here’s a window on my thought process:
There’s so much to read out there — blogs, books, popular press, you name it. And yet there is only so many hours…
Last month marked my one year anniversary at Virgin Media and it’s truly been an incredible journey so far. Since I moved to an in-house…

Bullet Journalling by Ryder Carroll
In this era where community is ubiquitous, whether you have the skill or not, you need to know how to start, hold and more importantly end a conversation on a good note. This is a skill I have been trying so hard to learn over the years.
There are 72 days left of 2017.
The 80/20 Principle…
Dear Lovers of True Love,
There’s a high level of complacency in our current world. We’re indifferent, undecided, indecisive, lackadaisical and OK with the status…
I identify with this well. I’ve never been into sports, but especially now.
Even more, I’ve stopped listening to most music on the radio. I listen to podcasts instead. Call me crazy, but I feel much better about myself.
I could go on about the rules in society, some which I follow, others that I don’t follow. That is a long boring post where I pretend, at 28, that I am smarter than the people who made the rules we live by now. I have written and re-written that post and it is not worth reading.
How many people have managed to be considered top-of-the-job after their retirement? Which ones are the benchmarks for the performance of equally large and important people? How is it that there is no question that you have been and still remain…
Sometimes I feel stuck. My usual…

“We are more often frightened than hurt; and we suffer more from imagination than from reality.”…
I’ve been staring at a blank canvas for the past 3 years. It’s of decent size, roughly 2x3 ft. and sits against the bedroom wall so that it’s the first thing I see when I wake up and one of the last things I see when I go to bed. To be clear this ‘white…
When all odds are against you, stay on. Stay on when you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel,when there is no ‘sign’ of encouragement. Stay on when they remind you you are not capable, stay on. Stay on because you never know. You never know who you will become in the…

This is exactly the way to connect with people even in real life ! Awesome content !
Whitney, you have given my story a voice. Thank you for sharing your experience.
I recently dropped out of university, after months of toying with the idea and people telling me I had made a mistake.
“What will you do?”
“People will never hire someone without a degree!”
And then I did it. And it felt great. It felt like I regained control that felt lost…
Nicolaus Copernicus was the first to present indisputable proof of the heliocentric world. He dared to claim that the Earth orbits the Sun! I can’t help but wonder how he felt like at the time.

Great post Diogo. It really resonated with me.
I studied mechanical engineering, not because I always wanted to be a mechanical engineer but because I liked the area. When the time came for me to decide on a professional career, I had a big resistance against the traditional route.
When you find someone else finding themselves, it’s almost as exciting as when you find yourself!
At a recent gathering, I heard a man say the following: We are concerned with what type of world we are leaving our children; We should also ask what type of children are we leaving for the world.
In principle, ideas, people, and events reflect back to you, according to your individualized consciousness, through the…
Victim is a tricky word. It has implications. Just because something happens, doesn’t make…
At first it seemed like something that was impossible, but then it turned into a practice that works most of the times.
I don’t think it’s ever been easier to pretend or portray an alternate life than what we’re currently living. Social media in particular allows us to show only the magical, the glamorous, the ideal, or…
Focus is power. Focusing can be hard to master. Can it be done? YES. Will it be easy to accomplish? NO. If it were easy we would…
This reminds me so much of a story I wrote about my mother:
In the literature of personal growth and development, the phrase “Stepping out of one’s Comfort Zone” appears a lot. I think of comfort zone as the world you have created for yourself, consciously or unconsciously. This includes your…
Cultivating compassion Scott Perry? Oh the places we could go!
I agree that empathy is a struggle, especially as we design ideas to help people. What help do they need? What is their worldview? What problem do they need to solve? Practicing empathy is the method we have both used to answer these questions.
Thank you Austin. Your help in all of this and your constant encouragement and support make me want to keep evolving and keep writing. It feels great to be able to share my thoughts with the world, and you have been a big helper in all of this. Thank you my brother.
