[tweetmeme] I’ve got a bit of a temper. You could call me fiery, if you will. Certain things just boil my blood.
I take pleasure from expressing my displeasure.
Anger. The root of all protest movements and all processes of change.
I love my anger, when it’s properly channeled. It drives me to make things different. My anger tells me that THIS is something that I am not okay with. It is a boundary-setter. It tells me that “I can see/feel/know that someone or something has wronged me.” It tells me something needs to change.
It is one of the best drivers I know. If I didn’t think it was wrong, I would never be driven to refine anything.
If I hadn’t been pissed off at the corporate world, and the way business ’should be’, and being told I ’should’ accept it, this whole thing never would never be.

Can you provide it for me?
Unfortunately, I’ve agreed that in order for me to be something, I need external validation to be so.
Things aren’t real and true because I feel them. They’re true when something bigger than me validates them.
They’re true when some else agrees.
Like you.
Will ‘credentials’ make me confident being what I am?
It’s easier to feel confident about what you’re doing when you have them.
[tweetmeme] It’s hard not to indulge in the BIG Questions. It’s tough not to focus on The End we have in mind.
Stop freaking yourself out by thinking you need to know how to get There today.
You don’t have the answers.
Stop indulging and paralyzing your mind with BIG Questions you don’t have the answers for.
Take one daily action. And in that action, keep your goal in mind.
[tweetmeme] Ever feel like you’re walking a tightrope? That’s because you are. We all are.
All complex adaptive systems (that’s you!) walk a tightrope between too much structure and too little.
Too much structure…
and chaos! Organic systems become rigid and unresponsive to their environment and they eventually die.
To little structure…
and chaos! Organic systems become overly sensitive to environmental disturbances. They can’t maintain their organization and eventually disintegrate.
[tweetmeme] That’s what lead you down my “rabbit hole”. You wondered about something that lead your curiosity to here. It’s so like you. Always asking questions and expanding your mind. Why can’t you just accept the norm, the conventional, the accepted? Why must you ask WHY?
Doing it your way.
It’s your thirst for learning, your curiosity at the world, that makes you just that little bit of weird. You want to grow, you work to grow and you do it by consistently exploring your Self and your world. You’re a Cultural Creative (or an Integral, as Ken Wilber coined) because of it.
Ask me a question. Ask us a question. Get answers.
To honour our need to explore, I’ve added a new page to the blog called ASK in replacement of the forum.
I love Christmas.
[tweetmeme]It is a really important time of year to me. It’s a time when I reflect and I honour all the learning of the past year. And it’s a time when I celebrate the love in my life.
I love walking the streets of Toronto at Christmas-time. There’s something really special in the air. And I revel in the feeling. Toronto’s kinda-like-the-world-holding-hands, it’s a cultural mosaic, apparently the most multi-cultural gathering of people in the world, and all around me, on the streets, I can feel magic in the air.
[tweetmeme] Ever wonder how the circus manages to keep elephants captive? After all, elephants are crazy strong, being the largest mammal in the world, and all.
Why don’t the elephants lose their shit and escape? Why do they just stand there? Why don’t they create some crazy elephant hubbub, squishing cars and shit? They have the power to.
