TOP 5 Questions
How do I give my power away?
When and why do I choose the hard path?
Am I doing the things I am doing to avoid a consequence or am I doing them because I want to?
How can I bring out a product that is in integrity and honour in a system that is not in integrity and honor?
What do I put myself willingly through?
TOP 5 Reflections
The most important decision you will ever make is to be in a good mood.
Most problems today were once solutions.
The map is not the territory.
It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.
Multiple truths can coexist.
