I finally got around to uploading a photo of myself on this blog

The photo is of me just before going for my NiDan (2nd Black belt) in Kyokushin karate, trust me you don’t want to see what the after photo was like 4 1/2 hours of very hard training.

It’s now 2 weeks later and my cracked ribs are still reminding me of that day.  My boss (and good friend) asked me when I was limping around and wincing in pain all day “was it really worth it!!”, it’s very hard to explain to someone who has not been through something like this, but yes it is!!!

I’ll be writing more about the lead-up and the grading itself on my other blog at

No more “Bad days”

Pondering the “What if I’m wrong?” question of personal development, whilst it is generally seen as a bad thing to do this as it can often lead to indecision and lack of action, it is good if you can question your decisions without creating this effect.

And as I find myself surrounded by a lot of people who regard personal development as a “touchy feely” waste of time, I thought I’d ponder this question anyway (especially after a couple of years of applying personal development philosophies to my life), and one of the main conclusions I have come to from this is even if I am following the wrong path (which by the way I don’t think anyone following a path of self development is wrong) is I no longer have the cliche “Bad days”.
