The Best Time to Be Alive. Ever.

Posted on January 15, 2026

What an incredible time to be alive. The basic living in most westernised countries is better than even kings and queens had prior to the 20th century.

Fresh water. Peace. Food variety and abundance. Smartphones and all they can do and access. Healthcare and the ability to cure and postpone death. Travel ease with cars, Ubers, airplanes and soon spaceships. Flushing toilets. Fridges and freezers.

Social mobility is easier than ever. The playing field is the most even it has ever been. It will never be perfect and sometimes you’re going to have speed bumps, but, oh my. This is soo much better than even the 18th century, never mind the sixth century and all of the others.

Accountability

Posted on January 14, 2026

If you’re looking for someone or something to blame, start by looking in the mirror. You probably had something to do with it.

The sooner you can recognise that you often create the environment or situation that you’re complaining about, the sooner you can adjust your behaviour or attitude and improve the whole situation.

No need to act like an entitled, perfect, victim. You do things that irritate people and situations. Own up to it and make some basic adjustments.

Everyone can breathe easier after this and they will all get along much better going forward.

Surprise Goodness

Posted on January 8, 2026

Who doesn’t like a little surprise that is good? It is awesome. A parking spot close to the door. Drinks on the house. A lottery win.

From small and more frequent to large and rare, it is always so nice to receive some goodness, especially when it’s a surprise.

Adore Your Spouse

Posted on January 6, 2026

Adore them every day. Let them know through words and touch, throughout the day and evening. Let them enjoy being adored each day.

For one day, they may be gone, or perhaps you will have passed and not be able to adore them anymore. Both are sad and unfortunate outcomes. So focus your efforts on today and makes sure they feel loved throughout the entire day.

They will never forget that feeling. Or you for giving it to them.

Appreciate More

Posted on January 5, 2026

Is there something in your life, or the world in general, that you could appreciate more? Do you appreciate the clothes you are wearing right now? I wonder if you’ve even thought about them much in the past, or just taken them for granted.

What else do you take for granted? There are probably many things you would notice if they disappeared but don’t even consider on a day to day basis. I’m thinking about the water you drink, the toilet you flush, your toothpaste, being able to walk, your vocabulary, your housing and your job.

The more you can be thankful, grateful for, and appreciate, all the small and large things in your life, the happier and more attractive you will become.

It would be very unusual to be so full of gratitude and not be found more attractive by other people. You would probably be radiating charm and enthusiasm for life. Try it and see!

Put Your Feet Up

It’s a great day to catch your breath and reflect before you launch into an exciting and fast paced new year on Monday. You’ll need all your energy to keep up with this exciting new year and be able to squeeze the juice from this amazing opportunity we all have before us.

Put your feet up. Relax. Enjoy. Recalibrate. Re-energise. And prepare your mind for the success of 2026!

Happy New Year!

Posted on December 31, 2025

Take today and reflect on the past year. Write down 10 highlights from the year. Write down 20 if you can.

Be grateful for those experiences. They are yours.

Then review the goals you wrote out these last few days. Keep them handy and review them for at least 10 minutes daily. Do that every day this year.

2026 is going to be your year! But you do have to put the effort in, get disciplined and stay focused.

Powerful Stories

Posted on December 26, 2025

You can really get immersed in a powerful story. The characters, location, themes, struggles and victories intertwine to make it a high impact experience.

We’re watching the Star Wars movies again at our house. Hard to believe these were made 20 and nearly 50 years ago. And they seem to stand the test of time. The story and the lessons these movies convey are so powerful. They are classic concepts that are at the heart of humanity and how things work in our universe.

Time Together

Posted on December 25, 2025

Turn the phone off. Direct your attention to those closest to you. Do this in person if at all possible.

These are moments you will remember. The laughter and fun, and the time together.
