This morning my 5-year old daughter broke out in tears when she realized that her cap was at the kindergarten. She so wanted to wear it this morning. As a rational adult, I tried to reason with her that the cap was already at the kindergarten. She could wear it the rest of the day if she wanted to. We […]
Today is the yearly parents-children game at my 9-year old son’s soccer practice. I really don’t like playing soccer. I totally suck at it. Never been interested in it. But I’ve decided to play this year. Even though it freaks me out a little. I’ve decided to join the dads (cause for some reason the other parent players are mostly […]
I’ve stopped reading the news. After hearing James Altucher saying that it’s all doom and gloom I thought that maybe that’s true. Also time is very precious to me. Could I skip reading the news and instead spend those minutes on something else? So I stopped. Haven’t read any news site since. Been feeling pretty good about it too. Haven’t missed out on anything […]
“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” Jim Rohn I believe this to be true. Surrounding yourself with negative people will only bring you down.

It’s six o’clock in the evening on a weekday. You come home from soccer practice with hungry and tired kids that are about to crack if they haven’t already. Now what to make for dinner? You frantically scan the fridge for something that you could cook in less than 5 minutes. That’s about the time you have until complete rupture. […]
“I simply have no time to exercise. I have this and that which I need to do. It’ll just have to wait!” Does this sound like something you would say? I used to say it all the time. Until one day I decided to stop. And instead, do something. At least a little something every day to get my body […]
Do you remember that movie with Kevin Spacey where a boy decides to start repaying good deeds with good deeds done to new people? Fascinating idea you might say but that’s not how the world works. Granted that’s not how the world works. But what if it was? What if we decided to skip the ulterior motives? To not expect […]
Children are naturally inquisitive. Living with three little beautiful human beings has forced me to answer a lot of questions. Questions that I’ve never thought of myself. Answers that I’ve considered to be a given. My children keep on asking. One question leading to the next. All of a sudden I find I am not so sure anymore. Is it […]
