    What you aim at determines what you see Dr Jordan B. Peterson Last week I was fortunate to attend a lecture held by Dr Jordan B. Peterson in Brisbane. The lecture was focused on rule two of beyond order – imagine who you could be, and then aim single-mindedly at that. That’s a big ask…

    Life is long, if you know how to use it Seneca Recently I wrote about the kind of man I want to be – one that is kind, forgiving, a great husband and family member, someone that contributes to our community, and imparts practical knowledge to the world. Before we can hope to achieve this,…

    I am no longer a climber. I used to think that being a climber was my primary identity. I didn’t just climb. I was a climber. Now, I’m not. These days climbing is not a major focus. It’s not what I spend most of time time doing. I’m not thinking about then next climb or…

    We returned from our honeymoon last week, tired and weary, yet excited. It was a great trip, and I highly recommend the Overland track as a must do hike.

    On Sunday, I’ll say I do to the love of my live and best friend, and start my journey as a husband. To say I’m excited would be to understate the feeling. It’s that plus more. It’s everything. Yesterday, I sat on the patio, curled up on the couch, whiskey and book in hand. My…
