    Life’s Golden Ticket – A Story About Second Chances

    8th Nov 2019 (Friday) / 0 Comments

    I have followed the work of Brendon Burchard since the beginning of 2019 when I joined his transformation week and started learning more about myself and his high-performance methodology. I have taken a few of his courses and watched his YouTube videos, read his High-Performance Habits book and bought the planner of the same name. But none of it really stuck until I stumbled upon this parable – a fictionalized account of one man’s journey through a “theme park of life” after being implored by his dying fiancée to go and discover it for himself. So why was this book so different? It’s a story, and I like stories. I…

    The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Growth

    17th Aug 2019 (Saturday) / 0 Comments

    Simply outstanding. The simplicity and depth of the wisdom of the four agreements are transformational. Be Impeccable With Your Word, Don’t Take Anything Personally, Don’t Make Assumptions, and Always Do Your Best. don Miguel Ruiz exposes the layers of fog we are conditioned by (domesticated with) and cuts through this fog with the four foundational agreements above which surpass all others. He explains how and why we have our manyfold beliefs and thoughts (our own personal agreements), and how we choose to accept the agreements of others through early life. This, again, echoes many of the personal development books of today which look at our own failings. Some look at…

    Your Elusive Creative Genius

    20th Jan 2014 (Monday) / 0 Comments

    Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses — and shares the radical idea that instead of the rare person “being” a genius, all of us “have” a genius. It’s a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk. Update – Oct 2017. I have been reading about Buddhism recently and this concept also appears in the writings. The idea of a second entity from which intuition and guidance come appears to have been around for a very long time.

    On Being Just Crazy Enough

    13th Jan 2014 (Monday) / 0 Comments

    At TED’s Full Spectrum Auditions, comedian Joshua Walters, who’s bipolar, walks the line between mental illness and mental “skillness.” In this funny, thought-provoking talk, he asks: What’s the right balance between medicating craziness away and riding the manic edge of creativity and drive?

About Me

Headshot

Welcome to a little blog about Finding Authenticity (Finding Myself). I’m Edward Terry and recently I have been pondering what makes successful people successful and others not so much. It started as a quest to get better at business – studying various business books – but this uncovered a deeper realisation that “being better” is actually about how we feel, what we believe and how we were raised. This blog is my journey to discover a “better me” and I hope you find the content useful in your own journey.

Instagram post 2184220942379962653_8950278687 Translation from original French. My fave song in the moment.  Remind me what day and year we are in today
Remind me about all the time that has passed
And if I have forgotten about all that
Only you can bring me back to life  And if someday I feel like getting away
Lock me up and throw the key
Inject me a booster shot
And make me remember my name  If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now  If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself  Remind me about all my craziest dreams
Remind me about all the tears on my cheeks
And whether I have forgotten
How much I used to love to sing  If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now  If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself  Remind me who I am  If someday I forget how to run away
And yet, if I still manage to do it somehow
Remind me who I am
And whatever I have promised to myself  If someday I forget about all our nights
About the song of the guitar and all our screams
Remind me who I am
And why am I feeling so full of life right now  Remind me what day and year we are in today

Instagram post 2177988072242126530_8950278687 Your time on this planet is precious. YOU are precious. Think about it this way: Would you allow someone to walk into your house, squat in your living room, and take a hot, steaming dump on your rug, and then walk out, leaving you to clean it up? I hope not. When you hear nasty, baseless criticism, reject it. Refuse it. Say, “Nope. You can’t take me down. I won’t give you that power. I don’t allow anyone to take a shit in my living room.”⠀

This made me LOL but it's so true. Thanks Marie!⠀

Instagram post 2177685358240927105_8950278687 You will only get one shot at today. You have only twenty-four hours with which to take it. And then it is gone and lost forever. Will you fully inhabit all of today? Will you call out, “I’ve got this,” and do your very best to be your very best? What will you manage to make of today before it slips from your fingers and becomes the past? When someone asks you what you did yesterday, do you really want the answer to be “nothing”? #carpediem #siezetheday #stoicism #wisdom #thoughtoftheday #motivation #amreading #kindle

An unspoilt Canadian park well north of Toronto and Glass Ice skating in Sweden. The world truly holds magnificent and beauty far beyond our own making. The truth is out there as they say.⠀

Instagram post 2121363058206246500_8950278687 One of the upsides of being a restaurateur is that suppliers are always plying you with free samples to try to get you to buy their products. Last week, a rep from Merchant's Heart popped into @meejana.windsor and dropped off these little bottles.⠀
⠀
Yet another premium mixer (sorry, spirit enhancer), this time from Japan and made with Bikan Yuso. I thought this was an exotic ingredient until I checked the website where it actually means "A sense of beauty and playful imagination." Sadly there was no supporting marketing materials left by the rep and the website is hard to navigate and doesn't seem finished in some parts (little GIF images set at fixed locations all around the page and all the main nav in a hamburger menu - being a web designer has its merits). And the rep didn't have a business card or even anything with company branding 😞⠀
⠀
I was also disappointed that the samples left were old batch so didn't represent the ingredients properly. One, which is actually now branded with 'hibiscus' on the label instead said 'floral aromatics' (the one on the left of the picture). And, sadly, the ingredients didn't mention anything like the pedigree the website tries to convey: Sparkling Water, Sugar, Flavourings (Fancy Bottle). That's it?⠀
⠀
We find it very difficult to get our guests to order anything other than Fever Tree. It has such a brand weight that "do you have Fever Tree?" is usually the first question people ask before they order a gin or something to go in it. Our guests also read the labels and are happy to tell us their thoughts. In a restaurant this is not unusual, and I can see that in a bar or more 'experiential' establishment 'spirit enhancers' like this could have their place where the mixologist or barman uses these in pre-set drinks that people order.⠀
