Its really easy to be comfortable and be in your zone. That doesn’t take a whole lot of effort at all. But thats not how you grow. You must step out of your comfort zone to grow. When your around people who push you to grow and become more than you […]
Are you up on Tipee Toes
Are We Just Lazy?
I just watched the Landline program on the ABC and it got me thinking about us and our culture.
The Government is looking at a scheme to bring in workers from overseas countries where there is low employment like Tonga to work in Australia on short term work visa during seasonal peaks. The program would […]
Hand Up not Hand Out
Most people don’t really value anything that is given to them for free. If you have to pay for something, you usually have a greater appreciation for it. Well i know this is true for most.Everyone’s life at some time has been pretty crap. That’s usually just a given, if you have […]

The thing that i find so amazing is now we have no excuse. Any and every excuse we used […]
Courage
Courage is an interesting word. It brings to mind the braveness of those who go into battle for a greater good. When you think of courage, what comes to mind? The most courageous people in my opinion are those every day people who make significant changes in their lives for the better, […]
Mind Your Own Business
I believe that we as a society have become masters of being involved in everybody else’s business but our own. It seems to be just a given now that i can interfere in what’s happen with the people next door, across the street, around the corner and across the country.
But of course […]
The Experience You Have to Have
