You sure can May! Witnessing you sprint, and with your energy and enthusiasm, is inspiring for me to watch too :)

Thank you k7! You and our other die-hard rebels are my inspiration!

This change caught me by surprise yesterday, even though I had been consciously pushing harder for the last few months. On reflection, it's something that you and I both instinctively know. Continue reading

Thank you for sharing your experiences Lennie! Always good to hear from you, well, online after seeing you offline (I didn't see this for the longest time LOL). Yes... I really am going to write something, er, soonish! Must dispense with the nonsense. Looking forward to seeing more of your stuff too, that photo journal is really something, man.

Leonard! Er... very manly...LOL!

That is awesome to hear Leonard! I love hearing stories like these... it took me a long time to realise just how much of a mental game it is, exercise. Sure, I had a theoretical understanding about flow, of second wind, mental strength and stamina, but nothing like bootcamp to ground that knowledge in practicality. Empowerment - that's exactly what it is. And I'm glad we're working on that as a team :)

the call
Image
My loved ones and I continue to revisit the idea of a calling when it comes to working life - because almost everyone you know will tell you that that's something that makes your days (thus your life) significant. At least one story goes: if you don't and can't love what you do at work - where we direct considerable energy - you haven't found your way and you're kinda lousy. Continue reading

getting up
I find people’s largest explicit wall of resistance to pre-dawn bootcamp is: "Why should I go? I can't get up." Why do I go? I don't even ask myself that anymore. I just go, because it feels great and I can see all the goodness it has brought me. The... Continue reading

shift key
Image
I like typewriters. The sounds, the tactile response, the sensory overload, the carbon copies. I wrote and typed a lot when I was younger, and in school, I belonged to the sub-nerdy Typing Club. There were other keys I could have chosen but I'd like to think the shift key chose me for 2011 - a call to arms, if you will. Continue reading

jonathan livingston seagull
Why I recommend "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" (taken from another profile I have) WORTH CONSUMING! I’m a bit more biased toward liking this book rather than against it. It was something that dad referred to sometimes – and I had on my own curiosity read Richard Bach’s “One” when I was... Continue reading

eight sentences into the future
Written for someone who won an auction for a story on Facebook :) He slowed down to make way for the trike, as it creaked urgently down the path. It was the neighbour's four-year old, Sophie, always in pink and with the shiniest eyes he had ever seen. "Hell-o Uncle... Continue reading

a story about the little prince (no spoilers)
When I read it I was wondering almost all the way through… “what is so great about this that some consider it a classic?” I admit I found it hard to keep interested in it, as each (short) chapter seemed to hint at something, a globally-shared condition of humanity; appearing... Continue reading

revelations.
The biggest lesson I've learned so far in bootcamp is this: I can suck at understanding parts of myself. I think that I know what I'm doing, and why I'm doing things, but I get myself wrong some times. Of course, the very idea that I should understand myself completely,... Continue reading
