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…

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…
A picture tells a thousand words. A kayak is paddling in the open ocean. But if you look closely, just behind the kayak, hidden in obscurity is a lone swimmer. The conditions are abysmal, the wind is increasing. The support in the kayak has already been tumbled by a rogue wave and is himself struggling.…
