Play Life: Play with Purpose

Play Life: Play with Purpose — A Becoming Maverick Reflection The Power of Play goes beyond entertainment—it’s a powerful tool for growth and learning. Through play, both children and adults develop creativity, problem-solving, communication, and emotional resilience. Psychologists and educators highlight how games mimic real-life situations, offering safe spaces to practice decision-making and strategy. Animals use play to learn survival skills, and humans sharpen social and cognitive abilities through it. Whether it’s the logic of chess, the teamwork in 30 Seconds, or the unpredictability of Ludo, play teaches adaptability and perseverance. When we play with purpose, we prepare for life’s challenges with wisdom, joy, and confidence.  If life were a board game, which one would you describe as yours? On this journey of Becoming Maverick, I’ve discovered that games can give us valuable insights into life—and even help us develop and practice real-world strategies. Whethe...

It Was Good: Loving This Day

“Blessing” in Genesis 1 comes from the Hebrew word “barak,” meaning to kneel, praise, or empower with favor. In the blog ‘Was Good: Loving This Day,’ we explore the creation story not as a timeline debate, but as a guide to creativity, self-recognition, and inner value. Becoming Maverick means knowing that your progress—even unfinished—is already good. It Was Good: Loving This Day Regardless of your beliefs about God or your views on the timeline of creation, Genesis chapter one contains a powerful narrative filled with timeless wisdom. While theologians speak of a 6,000-year-old earth and scientists present a much longer timeline, this debate often becomes a distraction. What truly matters is the spirit of the story — and the Creator's attitude toward His work. Whether you're building a business, writing a book, developing a website, or simply shaping your life, Genesis 1 offers a pattern and a mindset worth studying. One detail that stood out to me recently is this: after ea...

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a st...

New Beginnings: New Year, New Growth

New Beginnings: New Year, New Growth Mark 2:1–12,  “Let us begin this new year with these words of wisdom as motivation: speak up, reach out, and carry your friends toward healing. Together, we are stronger.” Happy New Year, Mavericks! What I’m about to share has been brewing inside me for months. I started putting pen to paper about a month ago, but I discarded several drafts before settling on this version. Now, as the new year gets underway, I find myself reflecting more deeply on what it means to face challenges head-on and come out stronger—what it means to embrace the journey of Becoming Maverick . For many, the new year is a time for quick resolutions and goal-setting. For me, this process has evolved into something longer and more intentional over the past few years. My annual reflection and goal-setting now begins in mid-December and stretches over 30 to 60 days, sometimes ending in February. It’s not just about ticking items off a list—it’s about taking the time to honest...

What are my rights?

What are my rights? Human rights are the basic freedoms and protections every individual is entitled to, ensuring dignity, equality, and justice. However, without personal responsibility, the pursuit of rights can become harmful, leading to conflict. True freedom arises when rights are balanced with accountability for our actions. Once Again, It’s About Rights… Or Is It? Once again, the issue of "rights" came up in a conversation with my teenage daughter. It got me thinking about how our education system and ultra-liberal culture place too much emphasis on rights. Now, don’t get me wrong—rights are important—but focusing solely on rights, especially when we demand them at the expense of everything else, can devalue us. When people become obsessed with asserting their rights, they often end up hurting themselves or others. Consider the many wars fought and countless lives lost in the name of "rights." Look at the language used in political discourse today. Phrases li...

Where to?

 Where do I go from here? “A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval.” — Mark Twain Acknowledging, in the context of a growth mindset, means recognizing where you currently stand without viewing it as your final destination. It’s not about accepting limitations, but about seeing them clearly as a starting point for progress.   Welcome to the Journey, Mavericks Welcome to Becoming Maverick . If you're here, you’re likely someone who questions the status quo and seeks ways to grow—someone who doesn’t settle. That’s what this space is all about challenging ourselves to move forward, not just by leaps, but through small, meaningful steps. And today, I want to share something I’ve been reflecting on—something that I believe can resonate with all of us on this journey. The Struggle with Acceptance   Lately, I’ve been wrestling with the idea of acceptance. When life takes a turn for the worse, or even when something great happens, I’ve often been told, "You need to ac...
