End of December last year, I was flying from Nigeria to South Africa. While waiting in line at the Emigration terminal to be stamped and ‘checked out’, an idea struck me and I did something that had just recently become a habit – I took notes on my blackberry. I do that a lot, sometimes [...]
Lindy posted this comment on my legacy work article: I’ve been thinking so much about what I desire to do and my chosen career path which has great financial rewards, but I’m not passionate about it. I have been thinking how living a balanced life – fitting in what I enjoy and what I’m required [...]
I was thinking two days ago about my favourite topic – myself, and about the many pre-conceptions that lie in my subconscious colouring my perception on life and external realities. I know a lot of us like to think that we are objective and we see life like it really is. The truth is, very [...]
We wake up to responsibilities every day, demands on our time, emergencies, and important tasks. People need us, things need to get done. We have assignments to hand in, meetings to attend, bosses to please, clients to satisfy, money to make, bills to pay, and on and on and on. It is entirely possible to [...]
I have no idea where I saw this; it was probably in one of the many inspirational emails I get in my second Gmail account. Maybe it was Joe Vitale but it caught me off guard – ‘’How good can you stand it?” How good do things have to get before you begin to get [...]

Unresolved emotions are essentially poison. They lie underneath your cool exterior slowly festering then bubble up to the surface and turn everything murky grey. Exactly two days ago, I was overwhelmed with a sense of pride, satisfaction, joy and hope for the future. I’m in my best position so far financially; I got a few [...]
I wrote this two days ago in response to a request from The Avante Gardian (Khanyi). She was doing a piece on a few minds that interest her, and I felt like a mini celebrity being a part of that, so thank you Khanyi..or maybe I should call you TAG…lol I want to be God, [...]
