A slightly longer version
For most of my life, I’ve been a seeker. The trouble was I could never quite figure out what I was seeking.
As is typical with a lot of things in life, we find the answers we are searching for in the most unlikely of places.
I was wandering around Philadelphia, PA looking for nothing in particular when I stumbled upon a very small bookstore. It had funky new-age presence that was attractive.
On the stacks I found a book titled, That Which You Are Seeking is Causing You to Seek, by Cheri Huber.
It has taken me 14 years to figure out what that means. I would like to say that I spend my days in endless bliss now that I have figured out the riddle.
I’m reminded of a poster I saw a few years back. On this poster was a monkey scratching his head and looking very perplexed. The caption underneath read: “Just when I figured out all the answers, they changed the questions.”
That is where I find myself at now in this great adventure called life, standing on the threshold.
And the quest continues…

I dusted the cobwebs off of my mountain back yesterday and went for a ride in the countryside. It's amazing that when you look closer, you can find all sorts in your own back garden. There isn't a need to travel to far off places to find and experience things you've never done before.
Anyway, it was nice to get out and ride. I did 16 miles altogether. (I went ou

wanted: a drummer with a different beat
Go for it is the mantra that is banging around in my head at the moment. I can make my own way through this game with a little effort and a no fear attitude to forge my own path and not be hell bent on following the path laid by others or to do what the herd is doing…in short, I can do this thing if I am willing to march to the beat of my own drum.

what's your legacy
What's the legacy that you're leaving behind?
Consider this:
When you're no longer here on this planet, what is that people will remember you for? What would you like them to remember you for?
With that in mind, how are you going to approach your job and your life so that you are creating a legacy you can be proud of?

A Mountain Too Far
Here's a cross post from the guys I lead up Snowdon to do the leadership short film:
Well we’re back from Mount Snowdon and we are all still alive. That’s the good news.
The bad news is that we didn’t make it to the top, not that getting to the top was our original intenti… Continue

some things should not be forgotten
Earlier this week I was in Snowdonia. As regular readers of my blog will know, I spend a lot of time in the mountains of Snowdonia, as they are, in effect, a spiritual home for me. This time I was there for a different reason. I was being interviewed for my thoughts on leadership. The producer of the film, Tim Clague, thought it would be great to capture my thoughts on leadersh
