Did I mention it’s free? — Everything I write about is aimed at helping people understand and love who they are. To not be ashamed or hide behind some false character armour but instead embrace the gifts that God has given them. As part of that aim, I’ve compiled an epic ebook entitled Unlocking Personality. Based…

If you ignore the elephant for too long, eventually, it will crush you. It’s why I left the cockpit altogether. — I’m going to stick my neck out today. I will talk about something I’ve been avoiding for specific political and professional reasons for some time now. A topic close to my heart. As it turns out, aircrew are extremely reluctant to discuss mental health. On the rare occasions I’ve brought…

If you don’t want to drown you have to let yourself sink. — “Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.” ― Roy T.

What we get wrong is believing (ha) that evidence forms belief. Yet, if we didn’t believe it in the first place, we wouldn’t know to look for it. Once a belief…

Take writing as a prime example. I love the act of writing. But I hate editing. I have so many half-finished posts it’s embarrassing. That’s because I…
