You loved before you knew me And I returned in kind You imagined I was perfect But it was in your mind With widely opened hearts We charged ahead with hope But when reality confronted us We sadly couldn’t cope I left when I still loved you I didn’t have [...]
I once fell in and then out of love, and when I was not in love anymore I realized that I had never been. It was nothing but an illusion of my own human mind. Then I fell in love again, and when once again I had to go, I [...]

Recently I wrote an article detailing why it was counterproductive to your own success to resent those who have achieved it already. I used Bill Gates as an example of someone who should be admired, not despised, and I explained why. So when you read what I am about to [...]
Bill Gates is such an asshole. That’s not what I think, but a lot of people do. In fact the level of vitriol directed towards Bill Gates and Microsoft is really quite mind boggling considering that the man has given away tens of millions of dollars of his own money [...]
Sometimes you look for inspiration, and sometimes inspiration finds you. This morning I was sitting at the front desk of the hostel where I have been working, sipping some over-sweetened almost cold coffee and feeling a little down in the dumps. It was the sort of general malaise that only [...]
If you really do not know what you want in life, then maybe it’s time to take a break from you life entirely. When you are trapped in your day to day, it is often difficult or even impossible to achieve the clarity necessary to discover your purpose in life, [...]
Many people at some point in their life find themselves asking, “what is my purpose in life?”. This question may be followed up with questions like, “why am I here?”, and “is this all there is?”. Most of us can be divided into two distinct groups. Among the first group [...]
That may sound like a really blunt statement to you, but I don’t care because it’s true. Sometime it’s just not worth beating around the bush. When you travel the road less travelled, everyone who is not on that road is going to consider you anything from a mild annoyance [...]
I have a confession to make. I’m a people pleaser. I always try to keep everyone around me happy, and can’t stand to disappoint people. I will go to great lengths to avoid upsetting the people around me. On the surface this may seem like an admirable trait that I [...]

Today is Canada day, and I am a proud Canadian. I recognize how lucky I am to have been born into such a prosperous and just nation. I am overwhelmed with pride when I think about the opportunities provided to be simply by virtue of the country I was born [...]
I would like to draw your attention to some lyrics from a song by the singer Roger Whittaker that are very poignant: “Everybody talks about a new world in the morning. A new world in the morning so they say. I, myself don’t talk about a new world in the [...]
Passion is what makes the world go around. Passion is the driving force behind every aspect of humanity, the good, the bad and the ugly. Passion is the driving force behind art, and the driving force behind war. Passion is what leads to love, and passion is what leads to [...]
