The Richest Man in Babylon by George S. Clason
“Advice is one thing that is freely given away, but watch that you only take what is worth having.” George S. Clason
This book is founded on the people of Babylon who were apparently the first people to discover the universal laws of prosperity. The author of this 1926 book discusses the laws that are timeless to this day and are laws that are to assist anyone and everyone in creating, growing and maintaining wealth.
Before I hear you say that people are born into money and others are more fortunate than others, that’s fine and perhaps this than isn’t a book for you nor would be my blog, it may just create some negative and burning emotions within you and that is not my intention.
It is true that from long, long ago man has decided that life was to be lived with a high standard and since we have always continually acted to improve our own prosperity. We have also continually increased quality of living as a race, and more recently we endeavour to improve mother earth.
The Monkey Trap-What Are You Holding Onto
Definition
Monkey Trap
“A cage containing a banana with a hole large enough for a monkeys fist to fit in, but not large enough, if the monkey is clutching the banana, for its fist to come out.”
In this short thought I discuss why it’s important to learn how to let go. I relate this to the philosophy of the monkey trap. We think we cannot let go of our past or what that is holding us back but the truth is we can. We must simply become more greatly aware.
Don’t let your thoughts, beliefs, environment, your situation hold you back from pursuing a path of passion and purpose – from living the life you dream.
Peace, passion and purpose…..

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”
Eric is the creator and host of The One You Feed Podcast and a lifestyle coach. He has taken his journey in life through some very tough times including alcohol addiction and becoming homeless. It is through these challenges he has learnt a heck of a lot and now wishes to share those with you.
He is a big believer in the wolf theory that he describes as that we become the one we feed. We both have both the good and bad wolf within us and if we feed the good wolf we become the good wolf – feed the bad wolf and we become the bad wolf.
In this episode we chat about addiction, the reason for it, the why, and also advice, tips and thoughts on how to overcome it. Noting that dramatic change is possible. We chat about the good and bad wolf and whether there is a need for balance. We also look at podcasting and the importance of starting and have a deeper reason to wanting to start other than something superficial or external.
I really hope you enjoy my conversation with Eric. If you would like to reach out to either of us please do and please leave your comments below. Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.
“Do nothing of no use.” Miyamoto Musashi
In this episode I discuss why it’s really important to become more conscious and aware of everything you do. What doing what you do with intent and purpose is likely to take you closer to living the life you so dream of with greater ease.
With so many distractions and so much external noise that we encounter everyday it’s now easier than ever before to go about your day doing that which lacks much purpose. This will lead you nowhere.
Do things that strengthen your mind, do things that matter to you – aligned with your values, and do things that rise internally not externally. This is a sure way to live life with greater happiness.
Enjoy! Peace, passion and purpose.

What Does Success Mean to You?
“Success use to mean the accumulation of things but now it’s about the accumulation of experiences.”
In this episode I discuss my thoughts on what success means. For each of us, success will look and feel differently but should it mean the accumulation of things or should it mean the accumulation of experiences or relationships.
I really believe success is moving towards achieving all those things you set out to achieve and they should really be taking you towards living the life your desire.
