Brett’s Philosophy
A friend’s throw away line has haunted me for years. It has help me live a better life – Will it do the same for you?
“Best Supporting Actress”
It is essential to understand where we are in the current comedy of life and play our part. Whether that be the leader, a star, a walk-on part or a supporting actor or actress. We may also be asked to play supporting roles driven by needs and the world’s circumstances, the people around us or those we love. Michael Caine has often quipped that “I got paid the same for a bad film as a good one, one film I made, so I could buy a house for my mother.”
We may not like the role, but fate nonetheless asks us to play it.
Let’s get into it.
“What Do You Want To Be?”
What questions do you ask of yourself and those around you? Are there better questions to ask? Do we limit our lives by the thoughts we put in each other’s minds?
The Force Is Strong In Tradition
The Star Wars phenomenon was just about to hit our city. It was school holidays, my friend Rick and I had scheduled to be one of the first to experience the adventure.
The Stasi, Crabs & Cooked Frogs
When we watch a movie about a hero who stands up to authority and puts it all on the line to create a better life, we all imagine that we are that hero. But, unfortunately, history shows that, more likely, we will fall short of that mark.

THE CAT
I had that sinking feeling that I was facing a problem not of my making but my responsibility. Barack Obama once remarked as president, all the straightforward decisions with good outcomes were always made before any got to him. So he was always left with difficult choices that no one wanted to make — often with no possible good outcome.
Three Actions To Feel Good…Today
Not feeling Great? Want to do something about it? Here are three simple practical things you can do today to change all that. They’re fun and sometime in the next few months you’ll even get more clothes. Interested?
Pressure
Right here we go, and don’t worry it gets easier….Pressure is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed… Well, that’s the start of the technical definition anyway. We all know what it feels like to be under pressure, use it to motivate someone to action, or see our doctor smile when our blood readings are AOK. But what happens when that pressure is changed suddenly ? What are its impacts? And how can we use it?
