As a parent I’ve rapidly learnt that we are not here to teach our children but learn from them. This is none more apparent when discovering that children laugh on average 146 times a day, whilst adults laugh just four times. Does this point to the serious business of growing up or us simply taking life too seriously? Draw your own conclusions but whilst doing so let’s all try to bring up the average for our team by doubling our laughter count, starting today.

Monday, October 27th, 2008Don’t Save the Planet
Monday, October 20th, 2008I’ve come to realise that we don’t need to “Save The Planet”. The planet will be fine without us. We need to save humankind. The solution lies in all of us taking 100% responsibility for everything we do every minute of every day in order to start healing our home, a home we are consuming faster than it can replenish itself. The starting point? Gratitude. The minute we become grateful for what we already have in life, we shift our focus from a constant desire for more to a realisation that we can have a much higher quality of life with less. There is no greater love we can give to our children and their future. Today, write down five things you are grateful for and see how different it makes you feel.
