"As we get past our superficial material wants and instant gratification we connect to a deeper part of ourselves, as well as to others, and the universe." Judith Wright

In this solo show I discuss my thought on instant gratification and delayed gratification. I believe that we have become so accustomed to having instant gratification that we have moved away from and forgotten what it means to live with delayed gratification.

In the information age, where we have access to more things and quicker, we grow to expect everything will be quick. There are certainly instant wins to be had in this life but most grand wins take time. This is why its important to understand and live with delayed gratification.

Here are my thoughts and my wish is that you can take some of your own thoughts away from this, to help make your mission in living life with greater passion and purpose more true. Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

"An ounce of practice is worth more than tonnes of preaching." Mahatma Gandhi

"Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible." Anthony Robbins

My thought today is all about the importance of having goals. Recently having made a major move I have found my days filled with tasks that aren't taking me towards the goals I have set. This leaves me unfulfilled and less happy day-to-day.

Having goals gives me more purpose. Doing those things daily that are taking me towards my goals helps me get closer to the life that I desire.

What are your goals- what life do you want to live? Goals make waking up more satisfying!

Please enjoy and until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

Zinsser was a master writer. He has written over 18 best sellers and countless of other essays, weblogs, & publications over his lifetime. This book is one that I have many authors recommend reading including Tim Ferris- author of the 4 Hour Work Week.

What I enjoyed about his book is the practical tips, methods and principles that Zinsser shares from the very first page. I was enthralled with his with his ability to communicate his message- educating me while also holding me down. I didn’t want to stop reading.

Some of the principles I have become to understand such as using simplicity in writing and also the need to remove clutter. The principles allow the reader to remain involved without getting distracted or losing any understanding. There were many principles however that were new to me.

"The trouble with retirement is that you never get a day of." Abe Lemons

In this weeks solo show I discuss my thoughts on retirement and why I now believe that the traditntal approach to it is dead. No longer should we aim for retirement but rather we should aim for freedom.

Inspired by the likes of Tim Ferriss and the 4 Hour Work Week and other mentors and guests of mine, I review the pros and cons to early retirement as compared to the opposite- never to retire.

I hope you enjoy this thought of mine and would like to encourage you to share your opinions and shed some more light on retirement.

Until next time, peace, passion and purpose.

Not so long ago life for Nic want grand. He was nowhere near a meaningful relationship, shy and fearful, worried about what everyone else thinks, bad habits, and lack of exercise and in all no real clue of what he wanted in life.

The 4 Disciplines of Execution: Achieving Your Wildly Important Goals by Chris McChesney, Sean Covey and Jim Huling

This book is written for organisations and leaders to help achieve rapid behaviour changing results amongst their teams and employees. The principles and strategies that have been tested and proven to work, can be directly applied to our own lives.

As we are our greatest leader in life, I feel that you will be able to adapt these principles to help you become a master at execution. The four principles that are discussed in this book are: Focusing on the wildly important; Acting on lead measures; Keeping a compelling scoreboard; and Creating a cadence of accountability.

"This is your life yours, its yours to live as you wish, towards all those things that you desire. Dream big! Go after everything that you want and make sure its in line with what your passionate about and make sure everything you do is purposeful in getting you there."

In this weeks solo show I decided to get a couple of past guests and friends on the show to have an open chat about The Hidden Why and subjects within. However, Daniel Van Veluwen thought it would be a great idea to instead turn the tables and interview me.

This is an interview with myself discussing who I am, what I am doing and why I am doing this project, The Hidden Why. Its a really down to earth chat about various things but importantly about what it means to live life with greater passion and purpose.

We delve off on various tangents along the way with I believe some valuable take-outs. Please enjoy this show and until next time peace, passion and purpose.
