Adventure is that place at the edge of your comfort zone

Always take 5 before you quit

Edinburgh is amazing, you don't have to plan a great long holiday, you can have micro-adventures right here

It's not for everybody going swimming in the sea or in any cold water but it's about doing something that challenges you and doing something that is out of your comfort zone

When I am in the water I feel safe, like my joints start to loosen I feel light and I don't feel pain anymore

For me getting into the water is a mindful practice

I found that people were coming to the water for healing

I used the Ikigai model to ditch my secure employed job and embrace freelance lifestyle

I really like the idea of Ikigai because it confronts ideas to do with your professional and personal identity

Ikigai is the japanese recipe for true fulfillement in life

If you are very lucky, you can operate at the centre of passion, mission, profession and vocation and that is a state of Ikigai

If you want to stand for something one of the best ways of doing that is to stand for one thing

I do like a pie-chart and part of my identity is that I am sort of pie-curious

If you want to be associated with an idea using a powerful shorthand is a good way of doing that

We never ask questions that require candid or vulnerable answers that will reveal anything about ourselves

It's really odd how we always play it safe with the questions we ask when we first meet somebody

The people that came into my life were people I could say to "on Tuesday we are going to the moon and they would say great! what should we pack?"

I always wanted to start a choir this was my "One day I will"

The single most important thing is to find out one's purpose

I felt that if I was responsible for the way my life was then I must have the power to have any life, if I created this I can create anything
