Wisdom Walking with the Hatman: Love

Mike Trussell — Sat, 24 Apr 2021 10:30:00 +0100

In today's podcast we hear the HATMAN'S thoughts on love.

He reminisces about a 1972 famous football team, and makes no apology for not kissing the posters on his wall.

He eventually remembers the magnificent Miss Kidman and wonders about his first love, Alison a fine girl who may not have noticed his sandals were never done up.

To visit moments from Italy and to learn of loving unconditionally make his evening's walk a podcast where the clock is running and a time to think freely.

Wisdom Walking with the Hatman: Broken

Mike Trussell — Sat, 17 Apr 2021 22:30:00 +0100

In today's podcast we go into more detail of the origins of the HATMAN.

A search for some bits and pieces and thingymajigs in the loft is where it all began.

He tells us of what he can and can't recall, and the emptiness he felt the year that Frank Sinatra passed.

He wasn't always the gorgeous innocent little cherub he has become, and he knows what a distance the tightrope walkers travel.

When he struggles to see the good, a little help from the opticians has always been there.

Today when he walks he looks for a great place to sit and think of yesterdays and the tomorrows. He's a fortunate soul and he is grateful for his "family".

Clay Lowe — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 10:30:00 +0100

Let it flow

Clay Lowe — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 17:28:19 +0000

The Flow State sits somewhere between anxiety and boredom and requires these for factors to achieve the optimal balance:

Focus
Freedom
Feedback
Optimal Challenge

I was thinking about the concept of Flow on my wisdom walk the other day.

Wisdom Walking with the Hatman: Travelling through Infinity

Clay Lowe — Sat, 20 Mar 2021 10:30:00 +0000

In today's podcast, we visit some giddy heights. They are scary places but then with the magic of mathematics we slow time down, and take a second breath.

Wisdom Walking with the Hatman: The "One from Three" Methodology

Mike Trussell — Sat, 13 Mar 2021 10:30:00 +0000

In this Episode of Wisdom Walking with the HATMAN, on a very cold morning the HATMAN shares some stories from the distant past and offers some financial thoughts.

We travel back to 1990 and beyond and hear of two mathematicians.

Fast forward and we discuss relationships, honesty, and a cold beer to bring about a lovely change. The "1 from 3" methodology may help us look forward to the future as long as we stay hungry and keep our eyes wide open.

Work. Life. What's in the Balance?

Clay Lowe — Sun, 07 Mar 2021 09:30:00 +0000

"The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he's always doing both."

We’ve noticed that there's a constant battle between two camps these days. On the one side, you have the “never not working” advocates who believe working 18, 19, 20 hour days is the key to success.

On the other side, you have those who push for a reduced emphasis on work and more emphasis on the things they believe are more important like family, friends, and more leisure time to pursue that which feeds the soul.

And somewhere in between, there’s a balance. Or is there?

Wisdom Walking with the Hatman - The Blame Game

Mike Trussell — Sat, 06 Mar 2021 10:30:00 +0000

In this episode, of Walking Wisdom with the HATMAN, he discusses his views on "Blame" and the Blame Game.

Is it a game that we should play? Does it help us when we blame others, and more importantly does it help us when we blame ourselves?

He thinks back to a pair of movies with "heroes" to help their character's loved ones. Mr. De Niro and Mr. Williams are enlightening in this regard.

What timeframe is your "I" locked in?

Clay Lowe — Wed, 10 Feb 2021 12:26:55 +0000

I had an interesting conversation with myself, out loud and in my head, while I was making an omelet.

And it had to do with time.

I don't know about you, but my mind seems to surf time continually. One moment I'm present, the next moment I'm somewhere in the past or I jump to the future (I'm like a mental Doctor Who).

Sometimes I'm in the past, present, and future at the same time (work that one out).

Anyway, in this particular instance, I found myself about 28 years in the past. I was remembering a friend I haven't seen since our Infantry Officers Basic Course. And it occurred to me that in the present, I only know this person as they were in the past.

Then I suddenly became aware that I know "myself" - the "I" that is "me" as seen through the filter of a past "self." (as I write this, I'm beginning to wonder if there was something in those eggs 😂))

OK, I'll stop there, otherwise, this intro is going to end up being longer than the actual audio I'm sharing with you. 😳

Have a listen.

I'm curious to know, what timeframe your "I" is locked in.
