  • The Game of Life

    Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not life is a game and like all games has objectives and rules. However, unlike our usual man made games the rules for the game of life are hardwired against change. There are however similarities – there is a playing field in the game of life and that is our

  • As Dictators Fall…New Beginnings

    “CHANGE is inevitable.. when systems and structures break down.. when ‘things’ are valued more than people.. it’s time for change.

    Most of us will have either seen the movie or the stage show called the “Phantom of the Opera”. This production and the central character in it are appropriately symbolic of the masks that we all wear during our daily lives which cover up our authentically true selves. Much like the Phantom we wear these

  • Living Life to the Fullest

    How often do we miss or ignore opportunities that may well give us exactly what we want because we are focussed on protecting the status quo or because we are just fast asleep at the wheel? Shouldn’t life be lived fully! Isn’t it better to burn out rather than to fade away? Yet most of
