2 APR 2021 · This final episode in this season, is a lesson from flowers. The presenter shares the importance of maintaining ones roots, in order to ensure one is continually anchored to be nourished and sustained. Beautiful, ornamental floral arrangements wilt and dry up after a couple of days, even though they are placed in water. However, without their roots, the plants cannot maintain their poise and presence, because they are technically dead. So it is when we cut ourselves off from the things that keep us grounded, when we abanbon the things that centre our inner man and drives our being, sooner than later we will wilt and soon after wither away and be destroyed and or discarded.
7 MAR 2021 · This episode presents the premise that no one knows the key to success. While there are practices and principles that lead to success, these are not guarantees. While we cannot put our finger on the "thing" that brings success, the same is true for failure. No one knows if or when failure or success will come. Consequently, we should not be too caught up with ourselves when life favours us with success, neither should we turn our noses up at people who do not acquire great wealth. While we work to achieve our level of success as we deem it, we should always remember to honour people who have not reached a high level of means, affluence or influence. Let us embrace people for the person that they are; treating them not "like a means to an end, but rather, as ends in themselves."

21 FEB 2021 · This exposes presents the perspective that the challenges we face should not be despised, but rather embraced in such a way that we can offer solace and guidance to others who struggle with the same or similiar issues. While we cannot always explain how we hurdled the obstacle, the fact that we experienced the same challenge, will help to bring comfort to another, knowing they are not alone. Knowing that someone else has met a challenge and safely come through, provides strength to another to keep pushing too.
13 FEB 2021 · This episode challenges the notion that absence makes the heart go fonder, as Johari explores emotional presence as being the foundation of longing for an individual. The episode elaborates on the premise that without bond, created through consistent verbal and non-verbal communication, then there will be nothing to miss of the individual.

11 FEB 2021 · "Where ignorance is bliss, is it folly to be wise?" This episode examines the danger of embracing ignorance. While not knowing guards againgst overwhelming concern, it does not prevent things from going bad and from going bad to worst. Knowledge serves to enllghten, so that the best decisions and the most feasible strategies can be embraced. We should endeavour to use knowledge to eradicate fear and not embrace the foolish notion that it is better and safer, if we remain unaware.
5 FEB 2021 · This episode examines the analogy of unintended hair growth, to illustrate just how much we have to be mindful of what we give our time, effort, energy, commitment and money to. Unexpected pleasures and outcomes can arise from unforseen events and experiences. However, even without intention, if we put the same level of resources into a situation that is not good for us, which doesn't serve us, this too will maximize into a monumental catastrophe. Therefore, we must be aware that not all detours lead to dead ends, but some take us to exciting places. Likewise, we must be vigilant what we nurture, because good or bad, unintentional or not, getting the right combination of things, it will grow.
27 GEN 2021 · This episode presents the notion on the uncertaintites of life - the struggles and the pain, not being targetted at any one person or any one group of individuals. The presentation offers the ideology that life is not prejudice and it doesn't discrimminate. Good and bad happens to everyone in one way or the other and while some people will endure more difficulties than others at deeper levels, no one is being set upon for attack. Life happens to everyone and though we don't know what to make of the kind of things that happen, how these things happen and why, we must always remember that life is not out to get us. Let us resolve to stay grounded through the chaos and roll with the punches.
23 GEN 2021 · This episode is the presenter's reintroduction to this space after an extended break.

28 NOV 2020 · What do you do when motivation wanes? This episode opens the conversation to the issue of the dichotomy between expectation and reality and the importance to have sustained inspiration for times such as this. The episode presents the role of discipline when there is no physical sign of progress to serve as motivation to keep on doing. Consequently, short of discipline, it is worthwhile, consistent inspiration that will guide persons into the discipline it takes to take action in the face of no progress. As a result the presenter encourages everyone to find something that consistently waters the soul, which will keep on anchored in times of unfruitfulness.
