#9 - This is it!

How can we truly appreciate good without evil?Love without hate.The opposites need each other in order to have value.Let's see what you learn, ENJOY!

How did I get to where I am? What has my career been like so far?How did I end up with a camera instead of a weapon?All of this now answered!

It's easy to become distracted with all of the stress that life gives you...Spilt milk, stupid people, flat tyres, slow WIFI, another IOS update, "Please reset your password", silly questions, raspberries that somehow go mouldy the day after you buy them!But does any of this actually matter?"It's not real mate" - A Northern mate of mine"Stress is made up in your own head" - Another mate of mine (Not Northern)Don't let the stuff that matters be drowned out by the noise that life creates.Enjoy :)

YOU have an effect on this world.No matter how big or small the action. You create ripples in the ocean of this world.YOU... have a duty to look after your immediate circle. Whoever you speak to, look at or touch. To spread joy and positivity to those around you. To take the first step towards danger as a leader.WE... are the gate keepers to the health and safety of our streets.NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, GIVE UP - Winston ChurchillOur ancestors didn't, so why should we?Change starts with YOU...

BEN IS BACK! The first ever guest on the S.O.W has returned for seconds. Two young men discussing what it really means to be masculine and what it takes to be able to look back at yourself in the mirror and be happy with what you see.Ben Clough is a Royal Marine PTI (Physical Training Instructor) and Runner. I could spend the next 1000 words listing his achievements so go and look for yourself on his instagram @thelifeofbennybreemEMRC - @emrclub

Sometimes all the justification you need is with how you feel. In your job, relationship, the beer you're drinking or the food you're eating. Just because something is award winning or perfect on paper doesn't mean its right for you.

During a run I saw what I believe to be the destination of the journey. Something accessible, achievable. It isn't always the big wins that make life count.

If I could give anyone a superpower, it would be this. The ability to see other perspectives. It was infact my new years resolution for 2025 and has become the most valuable skill I have learnt in my life. How do you think this will help you in your life?

WE ARE BACK!!!After some time away I feel like it is the time to make a return to the Slice of Wisdom. Through spending an extended amount of time thinking and writing about whatever I feel is necessary, I have a lot to tell you. Sit back, grab a drink and enjoy.
