Achievement ≠ fulfilment.

I spent a decade figuring that out, treating my life like a lab experiment, switching jobs, countries and hobbies to find fulfilment. I didn’t find a single answer, I found a feeling. To me, fulfilment means doing the things which make me feel alive.

The experiment took me 20,000km around the world on my bicycle and made me the proud owner of 3 Guinness World Records for hula hooping.

Now what? I stared at the 3 framed certificates on my wall, with Guinness’ tagline “officially amazing”. Without these records, what am I? All of the people I admire and look up to, what are they? Unofficially Amazing.

We don’t need a piece of paper to tell us, we know it when we see it. We know someone is Unofficially Amazing when we see them in the zone, doing something that matters to them, being uniquely themselves.

I still love hula hooping, but I’ve discovered my mission is to help people to find the spark that makes them Unofficially Amazing, ideally without a decade of trial and error.

Life is short, but it’s beautiful when you get to use your spark to do the things you love and share it with the world.
