This is a tough prompt!
What’s the most underrated life skill? Underrated by whom? Me? Society in general? I’d have to say it’s the quiet, unspoken and taken for granted life skills, like active listening and adaptability. So putting those two together I arrive at the ability to discern what is essential and what is not. What does this look…

One good decision at a time.
What’s a personal mantra or philosophy you live by? I personally believe that the way to navigate life’s tides isn’t about standing atop a soapbox, proclaiming grandiose promises of “I’m going to be perfect! I going to achieve my goals! I’m going to never stuff up or make mistakes”. No, I choose to humbly, and…

With mind, eyes and heart opened.
What’s the best way to explore a new city? With a sense of awe, wonder and spirit. Definitely an open mind and sense of adventure. Try not to compare everything and everyone with your own country (or city), as that’s not necessarily helpful. It is important to be mindful and respectful of the country or…

What’s a moment in your life that made you feel truly alive? This question or prompt is akin to asking if I’ve got a favourite song, colour, food, place or movie. My brain just screams at me in an unbroken stream of memories. As if playing a beautiful yet equally disjointed reel of moments, memes…

The genie grants you a wish. What is it? If I was allowed to make a wish that wasn’t personal I’d say “Genie please STOP all genocides NOW!” Please !!!! However, if it had to be an individual personal wish, I’d say “Genie please transport me to the Arctic Circle- surrounded in snow capped forests,…

It’s complicated
Do you believe in karma? Do I believe in karma? We’ve got your instant karma, your slow burn karma and the highly controversial generational karmic debt. I’ve seen many examples of what can be construed as ‘karma’ – both the good and bad variety. I think we are currently witnessing a long overdue global and…

You tell me…
How do you write what people actually want to read? I don’t feel as though I’ve stumbled upon that magic formula yet! And so I keep on trying… and trying. Really, that is all any of us can do – try.

Mindset is everything.
How does your mindset affect your financial success? There is an almost symbiotic relationship between mindset and financial wellbeing. What comes first? Much like the chicken or the egg, what comes first? Mindset of financial success? Obviously the term ‘financial success’ will mean different things to different people. To me it refers to having access…

Dreaming of becoming…
If the salary was the same, what job would you be doing right now and why? Easy peasy, I’d wrinkle my nose and magically morph into a full time writer and photographer (preferably nature and architectural cityscapes. I’d travel extensively to capture obscure and forgotten relics of the past. I’d delight in capturing images of…

Firstly I’d need to decide –
If you could erase one event from history, what would it be? Firstly I’d need to decide whether I’m focusing on one such event in my own personal life, or within greater society. Do I choose to bring some event that affected me, my family or fellow Australians, or do I zoom out even further…
