I realized the other day, as I get older, life gets really interesting and complicated. Many opportunities, projects and situations came knocking on my door. I got overwhelmed.
This first occurred when I decided that my work is to be more than making money. I had many ideas, not enough time and I don’t know how to choose.
In the summer of 2018, I took time out to make sense of things. I made a list of what I had learnt and cared about.
The Life and Lessons of Bryan
I live honestly without contradictions
To fool no one, and myself
To find the nuance From an assumption,
an aphorism, to a fact of life
To see reality as it is
And always be a fool to the truth.
I redefine possibilities.
First for myself, then for the world.
Because I’m a little crazy.
Because “good enough” isn’t.
Because what I do says who I am.
I see the good.
From the person beside me
to what has happened to me.
In changing my perspective,
I give others a new story.
I play long-term games,
Because the best returns in life
comes from compounded interest.
In love, in relationships, in wealth, in health.
I find courage,
to admit my flaws,
to share my truth,
to act from love,
to let go,
to do the right things when no one is looking,
and to do it all over again tomorrow.
To live my life with fun, brilliance, responsibility, agency, spaciousness, and above all, integrity.

What a privilege for each of us to think about what’s a life worth living.
