START AGAIN MONDAY

Alrighty…

Start again

Something I'm pondering:

When my mate Sam was in a coma, and breaking the record at royal north shore hospital for most days spent in ICU (446 baby!)

I had plenty of time to sit and chat to the nurses

This was at a time when I had recently graduated from drama school

Oh yeah, absolutely at the height of my pretentiousness :)

I remember Baba

One of Sam’s incredible helpers (angels), who had recently immigrated from Uganda

We were talking about film

I asked what her favourites were

“Love Actually” she replied

I laughed (but kinda scoffed)

She looked at me and smiled

And then said something which still gets me 10 years later

You know Michael, not many people love what they do.

A lot of people work tough jobs, which they don’t like, all day, 

and when they get home, they want to spend a little bit of time enjoying their life.

Maybe put something on the telly which helps them escape for a while, imagine a different life, find some bliss.

Enough said

Thank you Baba x

Something I'm watching:

I caught myself lying on the couch mulling over my recent decision to create the space for Fuck Yes opportunities, by saying No

Noticing good, bad, right, wrong thoughts popping up

Brrrrrrrp

Just felt heavy, low, dark, tense

So I whipped out this oldie

Its about 90 seconds long

There are 3 people in that room who I consider to be at the top of their field

Absolute pros 

And yet there they are… simply playing

This clip always brings me back to a place of joy

Oh yeah… I forget… Im doing this because I love it

Because if someone put a gun to my head and said I had to choose, right now, to do one thing every day for the rest of my life…

It would be that… sitting at a table, having an honest conversation, trying to tell a story, which an audience might get something out of.

Keep it simple stupid

Something for handling pressure:

Got recommended this podcast last week (thanks Kate & Andrew)

I haven’t heard someone discuss pressure so eloquently in a while 

Jim brings a strong focus onto Self Care & Energy Management 

And at the same time, makes things very simple and practical 

A highly recommended interview

Dr. Jim Loehr on The Tim Ferris Show (#490: 90min long)
