Just finished watching a Netflix limited series called “The Man in Full” which prompted me to write this post. The guy (Jeff Daniels) is a property mogul who turns 60 years old during one episode and he’s got some big headaches to deal with! As I’m about to turn 62 in two day’s time, there…
How is it that some people’s lives never really grow or progress, nothing seems to go their way. Though curiously they’re not always negative and they’re not toxic people – how does that work? They do want the great car and the nice house or the loving relationship, but their thoughts are “I’ll never be…
A follow up guest blog from Andre on the year that was 2020. Well 2020 was a tough gig for everyone, no doubt about it! From state border closures to the City of Melbourne being locked down, everyone made a sacrifice in their own way. If nothing, we all learnt how to endure the tough…
Hi Manstheorists, This ones a guest blog that I received from a good friend who wanted to share his experiences through a year of contrast and reflection – to say the least. Thanks Andre. And so it goes: If someone had told me what 2020 was going to behold, I would have laughed and said…
A good friend of mine happens to be a Golf Professional and Coach. So it was after much frustration I gave up the idea that I could work this damn game out myself. I also proved time and time again that you can’t buy a golf game in a golf shop. I decided I either…

No, I don’t mean the medical or massage therapy type. The type I’d describe as “An occurrence that triggers a change decision”. Recently, I received an email that triggered a decision that I’d been contemplating but didn’t have an actual date or pressing need to implement the action. Neither the email or my decision were…
In 1978, Ken Warby broke the world water speed record piloting the boat “Spirit of Australia”. He clocked 511 kph (317.5 mph) on Blowering Dam near the town of Tumut in New South Wales, Australia. Amazingly, this record still stands forty years on. It’s not that others haven’t tried, in fact of those that did,…
“If you’re watching someone you love make their way in the world right now, maybe these words will help. Or, if you’re the one who’d love a bit more faith and belief from others, feel free to share these words if they feel resonant and real for you. – Jonathan Fields.” Hi Guys, I received…
Last week one of Formula One’s greats passed away at 70 years of age. In mentioning this to a young friend who follows the current Formula 1 championship, he couldn’t recall the name ” Niki Lauda”, though I have no doubt the face would have been immediately recognised. The life of Niki Lauda is an…
